Vag com audi drive select default mode / activate for non drive select a4/s4 a5/s5

[audi_s5]

Thought I would post thread from A4 forum on Audizine and A5OC forum on Drive Select for those who have not found this yet. A great thanks to those who uncovered the mod and posted. (Thanks to schneidfried @ motortalk.de for showing us how to change the default setting of Audi Drive Select and Rene for bringing it to Audizine)

Thanks to guys who found this mod and those who have contributed towards it.

Ok i just managed to get it activated on my S5. No standard ADS and MT. Took a few attempts to get it showing up on the MMI. You not only need to activate 'Charisma' in the hidden menu car menus maske Diag settings but i also had to enable it in APK 0x1.
This part i got from the AZ site:
Byte 8, bit 2, change 0 to 1 (Display Engine in MMI)
Byte 8, bit 3, change 0 to 1 (Display Steering in MMI)
Byte 8, bit 4, change 0 to 1 (Display Suspension in MMI)
Byte 8, bit 5, change 0 to 1 (Display Sports Diff in MMI)

Mine was slightly different; to enable the steering in Byte 8 i had to change Bit 4. Bit 3 was for suspension.

Make sure you keep a very close eye on what changes you make as you can screw up settings very quickly and very easily.
Not been out for a test drive yet but will tomorrow to see how it feels

Morski,

Mine was the same

Byte 8 Bit 4 was for steering,, Bit 3 is for suspension

I only changed engine and steering since I have Ohlins suspension(always dynamic):)

Step 1

Secret Menu: ensure charisma checked in Diag Setting, Car Maske, Charisma Checked (my car was already checked)

Step 2

Secret Menu: APK Ox1..... select - ensure Charisma is selected. Accept changes.

Reset MMI - Drive Select Menu should show in MMI grayed out

Step 3

09 Central Elec - Long Coding Helper (remember bits are 0 thru 7 right to left ** example 1000000, bit 7 = 1)

Byte 7, Bit 5 Change 0 to 1

Byte 8, Bit 2 Change 0 to 1 Engine in MMI

Byte 8, Bit 4 Change 0 to 1 Steering in MMI

Byte 17, Bit 7 Change 0 to 1

Step 4

09 Central Electronic

16 Security Access

Type in code in pop up ( for me it was 20113 )

Click "Do It!"

Step 5

09 Central Electronic

10 Adaptation

Channels 63, 64, 65, 66

Change Value to 4 for each channel (OEM coding for my car in all channels was value of 2)

Click Save for each channel

Ensure setting of 4 for all channels again

Done!

Hopefully this helps someone as I was confused with all the different posts. Some one should make a chart based on 2G MMI / 3G MMI and options that are available for each car.
