Tiptronic Recode for FWD and
Non-US Vehicles |

Just to be clear if you screw up your car...its not my fault. You can damage
your engine and that was your choice to do so...just please be careful.
Purpose: The Tip recode tutorials I have seen have only talked about
American AWD cars, I own a FWD and so I was interested in doing something
similar to my car.
Background: When a non Quattro, or non American car has "00032" entered
as a recode, it simply returns to the original code upon reboot. I have found a
slightly modified version of the tip recode, which should allow anyone to
recode.
Procedure: To perform this recode you need VAG-COM and a basic VAG-cable,
the cheapest way to do this is via a serial cable (which can be purchased
through eBay, I bought mine from "ezaudivw") and shareware version. The recode
procedure is very simple, I will use my car as an example:
MY 2000 Front-Trac 2.8
Software coding: 00004
Workshop coding: 00000
While leaving the last number alone, because this is an indication of country
and drive train, change the 10's places. Example:
MY 2000 Front-Trac 2.8
Software coding: 00034
Workshop coding: 00000
Changing the workshop code has no effect on the mod, it is a code indicating
the last shop to work on the car. It should be left alone.
The values that are usable for the 10s place are:
0 - stock
1 - sport
2 - hold gear until redline
3 - both 1 and 2
Example values:
0000X (stock)
0001X (sport)
0002X (hold gear)
0003X (hold gear and sport)
