How do I convert US Allroad to enable DTL (Daytime Running Lights)? Dealer is quoting $400. Surely there is an easier way. Thx

Default vag-comm is your friend.

Thx - I looked over their site but it is not clear to me if their software can actually do this programatically. I left them an email but do you know for sure that it can? A dealer told me that it cannot be done via the computer but rather requires hard wiring.

Thx

I'm not sure about an allroad, but you typically have to enable Canadian settings thru the vag-comm.

Dealer is correct. Must be hardwired on an allroad.

Default Will be happy to swap my Cdn DRL switch for a US one.

Where are you located?

Vag comm doesn't work for 02 S4 US Spec so it may not work for the Allroad either.

Default Correct, software controlled settings were in recent models

allroad wasn't one of them, it all wiring.

Thanks All - looks like I am going the wiring route.

Why bother? leave it as is. Have you checked the tech section for a DIY?
