Hmmm. Didn't even know this Dynamic steering / engine was a Vag Com mod that was available. Without me ready the previous 300 posts...can anyone give me a quick summary of this mod and the benefits of the throttle and steering on a 2.0?

Thanks.

Wow. Just read through this thread. Man I love this forum.

I have a list of like 8 mods that I want to try.


Been trying to find someone local with a VAG cable but I think I am going to bite bullet and buy one. That way I can tinker freely and if the service department resets to default....I don't have keep asking around.

I have no proof to back this up, but dynamic seems to be more sporty than auto(normal) but not as aggressive as S mode. What I mean that is it up-shifts sooner under normal acceleration than S, but if you lean on it seems to shift near S mode. Dynamic is quicker to react with throttle changes similar to S, so that is why I like it for daily driving. No idea about gas mileage yet, I get around 23mpg combined.

The steering mode is easy to feel a difference. Just drive down a street at slow speeds and with auto it is easy to move the wheel. Then go to dynamic and you'll see how much more resistance there is. At fast speeds auto tightens it up so if you switch to comfort loosens the steering. I think this is what the manual says should happen too. I like auto because at slow speeds you get more help and at fast speeds you feel more connected to the road.

+1 on Steering. We leave it on Auto because it's too stiff at low speeds.

Re: Dynamic on Engine/Transmissions - It's different than just switching to "S" mode. In the Dynamic setting (vs. Auto), the car is WAY more responsive in either "D" or "S" modes. More power with less pedal. Definitely decreases fuel economy. Just imagine that instead of how you normally drive now, you're pressing the accelerator 10-20% more than you normally do whenever you're accelerating. For everyday driving, we're just leaving it in "Auto" as well for fuel economy reasons. It's fun to put it in Dynamic when you have open fun roads. =)

Ok...I think I did all the VAG codes I wanted to do.

One question...is it possible to be able to turn the fog lights on with the lights in the off position? Another words....only have the LED DRL and the fog lights on at the same time?

Yes. Haven't tried myself, but others have.

I've been using Parallels to run Win XP and have done several Vag mods on both my Audis. No problemo here man. I use a MBP Intel.

Hi guys, been searching the forum for a while about how to prevent the radio/media to automatically start every time i start the car. I have a 2012 Q5 Premium plus and didn't get the Nav so i believe i have the Concert radio system.

Anyway, it bothers me to have the radio automatically come on when i start the engine so i am trying to find a solution.

I have some VagCom experience (did the same mod as everybody else on this forum) but couldn't find anything about the radio. Am i missing a setting/VagCom Code that could help me? I'd like to have something for instance that automatically mute the radio when the car is started. I know I could mute it when leaving the car but I am looking for a solution a bit better than this.

thanks - sorry if I hijacked the thread - thought it was now about general vagcom related question.

I have the same set-up and it starts however I left it. Off, on or muted on whatever media it was left with. The system always comes on (along as the fuse is good) but there is a setting for the display to be dark.
