LED Tail light programing finaly cracked - New Video Added

**DavidB8** · 03-03-2011 08:53 PM

I bet your all wondering now. This has to be one of the biggest factory Audi mod that has been cracked since I started. It took the combination of my self and my partner in crime for whom this would never have been possible (Thorsten) and over 200 hours VCDS time and development. Stay tuned. I'm working on the video now and should have it up shortly.

Caught your attention? There are only 3 others in the world that claim they can do this and one is Audi and none on the 2010.

**Smeghead** · 03-03-2011 08:58 PM

You're gonna throw that out there and leave us guessing? Damn I hate being so impatient.

**Greg Nelson** · 03-03-2011 08:59 PM

OMG, mood interior lights

Sure it's far better than this
Cheers

A DIY guide to turn your A4 into the car from iRobot?

**Stubek** · 03-03-2011 09:16 PM

subscribed, this better work on a 2011 or I will unsubscribe

**routertyty** · 03-03-2011 10:10 PM

Subscribed! i'm expecting something big.

**Stubek** · 03-03-2011 10:16 PM

this better not be that video of how to change your interior color using a can of spray paint!

**linet90** · 03-03-2011 10:20 PM

Interesting, Subscribed, I hope this mod doesn't cost to much but I cant wait to see it.

**linet90** · 03-03-2011 10:37 PM

Sick! One more Mod on my list. Nice job guys and thanks for all the hard work and effect!
Cant wait to see the write up.

**benspeed83** · 03-03-2011 10:46 PM

Not trying to be an ass...you obviously put a lot of time and effort into this but I don't know what the mod is. Please explain. Sorry to be clueless.

**valida4** · 03-03-2011 10:50 PM

That looks awesome

**kmjmrq** · 03-03-2011 10:52 PM

HOT.. I want it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**AofC_RR** · 03-03-2011 10:58 PM

Lol this came up next. Come on David why isn't your car badged like that? We all love VAG!

**jabicho** · 03-03-2011 11:26 PM

Great job! , as usual...

**Ryan_T** · 03-03-2011 11:38 PM

Oh wow. Very nice DavidB8 and Thorsten.

I'd love to hear what's involved in cracking this.

**rayray** · 03-03-2011 11:39 PM

Nice!!! I love it!

**Ryan_T** · 03-03-2011 11:40 PM

This is going to be the B8 enthusiast marker.

**mxz** · 03-04-2011 12:02 AM

Lovin the 80's snowmobile in the background there David. Good job on the coding guys.

**MiracleWhips** · 03-04-2011 12:52 AM

Well done David!

**jabicho** · 03-04-2011 01:08 AM

David,what about extending braking light area to inner tail lights? is there any hope for us with halogen tails and just one brake bulb there? regards

**rlarsen** · 03-04-2011 01:33 AM

Looking good

One question though - do the NA model always have the turn signal on ?? the RoW's will only be on when they flashes.

**Blake P** · 03-04-2011 01:41 AM

Subscribed! I want LED tails. Let's get it.

**ACowabunga** · 03-04-2011 03:28 AM

Solid effort David! Again you surpassed all expectations and came up with a gem. Maybe now we can get in there (NA owners) and program the rear fogs and possibly the emergency braking hazards flash (I have it checked in VAG but have not been able to get it to work). Thanks again for your hard work. Did you ever determine if you ended up needing a cash donation for a project in which I cannot quite remember you discussed? I think you had mentioned something like $20US.

**scottyuk** · 03-04-2011 05:12 AM

Well done David!

I didn't realise you guys had rear corner markers as well as those on the front !!

Being in the UK this video looks (sort of) what we're used to. Does anyone have a video of a normal US LED turn signal?

**Stubek** · 03-04-2011 07:05 AM

great work, if only Avants had an LED tail light

thanks Audi for nothing

**Cabal_san** · 03-04-2011 07:08 AM

Can't wait to hear about how you brute forced hacked into 46! That's the shit.

DavidB8 = 1337 H4X0r gawd!

They're offered in Europe so perhaps there's hope for you?

Dave you've outdone yourself!
There is hope for us non-led tail owners.

**TexasEric** · 03-04-2011 08:21 AM

Very, very slick!!! Even without LED tail lights I appreciate this!!!

**Linchburg** · 03-04-2011 08:35 AM

Amazing. Can't wait.
Got a tip jar anywhere people can donate to show appreciation for your efforts?

**Smeghead** · 03-04-2011 09:09 AM

I'm on leave for the next couple of weeks and willing to be the test subject for non LED tails

**Stubek** · 03-04-2011 09:34 AM

If there was a way you could test this in my area, I would be more than happy to let you test no an Avant with bulbs that wants to change to LEDs, but I know you are a couple miles north of me.
You mentioned the Euro Avants have LED tails? Did I understand that correctly? I might have to look into that.

Yes the RoW Avant has LED tail Lights - here is how they look: http://www.motor-talk.de/bilder/audi...203202841.html

Oh yes

My Avant with the turn signal on :

**cory_can** · 03-04-2011 12:55 PM

Great job Thorsten and David....both an incredible asset to the community!! It looks like we could see some NA based Avants rolling with rear LEDs in the near future.

**rlarsen** · 03-04-2011 01:00 PM

Both the inner and outer are on - it is just my camera that didn't catch it (you can see it in my first link) :)

Yes, we have backup lights in the outer part.

When the rear fog lights are on, and you brake, then there won't be any braking shown on the inner part - that is the OEM way, but I got a code fix from Kufatec, so the inner parts are showing braking as well.

**Scorpio** · 03-04-2011 01:17 PM

this is some great stuff, cant wait for all the bugs to be worked out.

**dracolnyte** · 03-04-2011 07:45 PM

Wow amazing work David and Thorsten! You guys are my Vag-heros, I think I might have just developed a man crush on you... no homo pls and ty lol

but just one question, how hard would it be to remove the turn signal LEDs while braking?
