Cool VAG-COM codes

[eboosted]

So has anyone decyphered how to enable Subwoofer control on the non-MMI non:B&O stereos yet?

[IceSilver]

I would like to know this as well, but than for a car with B&O system... As I see with an ASS you have an sub option and with a B&O you don't have a separate sub option.

My first time posting on this forum. Some of these code edits sounded cool so I decided to head to the dealer to ask for their help (since I don't own the VGACOM).

Long story short...dealer agreed to help but their diagnostic tool is different from the Ross-tech tool (obviously). So one some of the codes that says uses the "long coding helper", I couldn't edit. Since the dealer software, you need to manually enter the binary coding.

So my question is...would anyone be able to use their VGA tool and scan their car and jot down the new binary codes after making the mods?

Specifically for the Remote Windows Down and Gauge Sweep mods.

I found this from Aerodave on A5OC forum and this is exactly the info that would be helpful...the binary codes:
(in reference to the 'winking' leds)

"In cars like mine that "winked" from the factory, this bit is set to 1. (My original coding for Byte 3 was 91 in hex, or 10010001 in binary). Flipping this bit to 0 (in my case, making Byte 3 read 11 in hex, or 00010001 in binary) makes the DRLs stay lit on both sides when signaling. Simple as that."

Sorry for the long post...any help would be appreciated!

With this table http://www.ecawa.asn.au/home/jfuller/binary/binary7.htm you can convert your HEX value to binary - and back.

Headlight washer - duration of wash:
[09 – Cent. Elect.]
[Security Access - 16]
[Adaptation - 10] -> Channel 6
change to e.g. 500

Headlight washer - times of wash and wipe cycles between each automatic activation:
[09 – Cent. Elect.]
[Security Access - 16]
[Adaptation - 10] -> Channel 26
change to e.g. 10

I haven't tried the code my self - yet, but it should help save some wash fluid

After setting Channel 26 to 99 I'm finding that the first time after starting the car (or ignition on - not sure which) and I use the washers, my lights get blasted

Looks like 99 isn't such a good option. Maybe I'll try 50 instead

The first one will always be there, it is only the times between you change. The washer is only activated when headlights are on - and if the light switch is set to "Auto" then each time the lights automatic switch from DRLs to headlights the washers will be activated at every first use.

Was wondering, would this cable work if you had the right software?

And if so, what kind of software do we need? :P

[HobbesA5]

No, that cable will not work with VAG-COM.

I've been trying to enable the needle sweep but Bit 0 doesn't exist. Instead I have a drop down box for Bit 2-3. Anyone know why?

And it is on Byte 1 you are trying??

Could you make a screen dump of the options you are seeing??

[JSitthi]

Yes, but regardless of the byte selected 4) is completely blank. I think options for Bit 2-3 appeared when Byte 0 was selected. I'll take a pic tomorrow afternoon.


I could actually bypass this if someone gave me the coding to enable needle sweep; I'll just type it in manually. That's what I did for my paddle shifters and they work just fine

[rlarsen]

This is what the Byte 1 options should be:

If you change bit 0 in the Binary field - then it should work as well...

[JSitthi]

This is what the Byte 1 options should be:

Here are my options for the same Byte

Here are my options for the same Byte

You arent accessing the same long coding 8K0-920-980-Aand rlarsen is in 8R0-920-930-A

[JSitthi]

How do I change that?

The screen dumb isn't from my own A4 - it is just one I found, which showed the 'right' options.

It should be OK to just change bit 0 manually. Bit 0 is the last one in the binary string.

[DeMOROlized]

Here are my options for the same Byte

What version are you using?

[rlarsen]

The screen dumb I've found is from a Q5 - my part number for [17 - Instruments] is 8K0 920 930 C, which also has a matching number compered to the one from Q5.

What the difference in the cluster are I don't know - maybe mine is with color DIS and yours are with red/black DIS??

[rlarsen]

What version are you using?

I had a bug in 908.0 which didn't show all options for all units - it is now fixed with 908.1 (the bug wasn't there with the old 805.x versions either)

Funny you say that cause I'm using 805.0

EDIT: Figured it out, just did all the coding myself

If you where using 805.0 then this would be the very first version that had the B8 coding help option descriptions - and proberly wasn't compleite.

Ah that explains it, thanks.

i have a 09 b8 non b&o what vags should i get i have a small list 1. sweeping needle ... 2. window control by remote....3.daytimes and fogs together .4 now what else ?

Does anyone know how to disable the automatic sweep of Avant rear wiper when reversing with the front wipers on?
I did not find it....

Hi
Excuse the translation but I'm Italian ..
Let me know if you can turn on cable VAG bar battery status for the owner of MMI without navigation radio Concert ..
Thanks

Excuse the translation are Italian ...
E 'can turn on "Battery Status Bar" on the MY2010 A4 without navigation MMI?

hello,
i would like to know if it`s possible to activate the right side mirror to tilt down while you are in reverse if the car doesn`t have electric seats ...i have the electric mirrors but they do not fold electronicaly you have to fold them by hand ... can i activate this option via vag com or do you have to have electric seats in order for this to work ...

have tried with vag com the following procedure :

Go to module 52 Door Elect, Pass., Long Coding, Byte 4. If the byte has value 40 (cars without electrically folding mirrors), change it to 4C. If the byte has value 50 (cars with folding or folding/dimming mirrors), change it to 5C

but when i go to module 52 door elect , pass ; coding ; long coding , it does not say mirror tilt or anything , and when i try to change the Byte 4 wich is 41 in my car not 40 it does not work , if i tick the byte 4 check box it changes to 51 and i cannot change that value ...

some help please ? as i have enabled the gauge test and removed the seatbelt chime without a problem but this just doesn`t seem to work ..

[scottyuk]

Many thanks (sorry I missed that you'd posted)

A bit annoying that it can't be averted for the first spray

Cheers for saving me a lot of time trying

Tilted position is saved in the seat memory control unit. Without that it will not tilt on its own. Also mirrors on cars without seat memory, have no sensor to feedback thier position to the module if it was installed, so you would have to install all of these to make it work.

Incorrect. Mine works just fine after a quick VAG to 4C. I have a P- without the seat memory controller, so try it again with another value. You might need to double check that you have the knob turned all the way to the right so when you are in reverse, it tilts.

yup

you have to have the mirror selector on the passenger mirror for the mirror to tilt down when reversing

The bit math is explained after the daytime running lights code in the summary page here:

Yes, it is just that without memory the tilt is quite small and non-adjustable (if one adjusts it, it won't remember it).

im confused i thought the 2g mmi hidden menu didnt work?? I have the symphony w/o nav. will the hidden menu work??

I had it working on my 2G and also now on my 3G.

I think JSitthi has MMI high (with nav), therefore it is possible in his A4
