    Using VAG Codes....(the legend)!

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I have seen hundreds of posts on VAG codes, and everyone just says to go to the RossTech website and follow the directions. There are no clear-cut directions and adding all the decimal places seems difficult for someone who has no idea what they are doin...LOL!

    So I called my stealership and they said that if I bring down the codes and little side cash for their tech, they will enter them in. Can someone PLEASE post these codes in the format that I need to bring them to the stealership in? Really, I've tried and tried and cannot figure it out (sorry guys )

    1. Roll windows up with remote
    2. Unlock all four doors with ONE press of unlock button.
    3. Raise RPM at idle, just a little, to diminish idle vibration.

    If anyone can just post the codes, already in the format I need, I will do anything!!! Thanks a lot everyone and I hope this thread helps EVERYONE else in the same boat as me.

    it's not hard bro, but we need to know the year, and it you are FWD or AWD. at least for the window mod, we may need more info for the other two.

    I cannot thank you enough, I am going to take these codes to the stealership tomorrow, can't wait!

    Btw, my idle is at the stock level, and I need it to go up only about 1-200.

    Save the cash the stealership would charge you, get the cable from eBay, use the shareware program from RossTech's site and do it all yourself! ...then give me the difference the dealership would've charged you.

    edit: I didn't even know you could change the RPM idle via VAGCOM.

    Or just look for a guy in your area with a cable. I do it all the time, somebody comes uses it and always leaves a little something.

    Re: Using VAG Codes....(the legend)!

    The dealership is going to do it for like 10 bucks. That's pretty cheap if you ask me. I just need to bring the codes down there...and again, I don't know how to formulate them.

    I will look into that cable from ebay. So I don't really need to buy vagcom, there is a shareware?

    Re: Using VAG Codes....(the legend)!

    Instead of giving an exact code number to take to the stealership, I think it's safer to give you the code you need to add/subtract from whatever the existing code is:

    1. For the remote windows, Module 46 - Central Convenience, recode to (existing value + 64)

    2. Unlock all doors with 1 press, Module 46 - Central Convenience, recode to (existing value - 4)

    3. Raise RPM, ?? I don't know about this one...

    VAG-COM Release 409.1 is archived. You can use an ebay cable with it. Even with unregistered version, you can do simple mods like those above, and read/clear some CEL codes.

    Hope this helps.

    Re: Using VAG Codes....(the legend)!

    ^^in addition to the auto-locking at 10mph, turning this feature on gives you the auto-unlocking of all doors when you pull the key out of the ignition.

    Re: Using VAG Codes....(the legend)!

    Currently, the car does auto lock at 10mph and unlock when the key is pulled from the ignition.

    So, I don't understand the numbers you gave me. Do I need to subtract that amount from what is in there currently, or subtract what is in there currently to end up with the amounts you gave me?

    Sorry for the confusion but I dont understand the coding process very well.

    Re: Using VAG Codes....(the legend)!

    There will be a number all ready coded in the module, you add(+) the number to the existing number.

    So if its something like 17102 you would change it to 17166

    Understand.

    The reason I'd still recommend getting the eBay cable is because if you need to pull some codes or clear a CEL/MIL, you don't need to go to the dealer everytime. It's good for logging as well if you feel you have a problem and need help (you'll notice many people reply with "post the VAGCOM log for a diagnosis.") Also, you'll be the bees-knees at Audi meets with your VAGCOM cable.

    ^^ well thats why i went to advance auto and bought the damn obdII scanner its only 100 bucs and i can use it on any car, plus i bought the vag com cable and just did the fog lights without headlights and with highbeems, as well as the one touch unlock and the windows with the key fob.. it is a little confusing for people who are unfamiliar with the stuff like myself and the OP lol but i finally figured it out before i threw the computer haha, and all it is is a few number that need to be switched, just be sure to write down the old ones just in case.. good luck man

    Re: Using VAG Codes....(the legend)!

    The guy who flashed my ECU did my codes for free. I had him do the windows with the remote and the autolock at 8 > mp/h. I now have the 4.09 and the cable so I can do future mods myself. The code escapes me at this moment, but I remember asking what the code was and doing the research and finding it and posting it here for the windows. Use the search...

    Re: Using VAG Codes....(the legend)!

    Did u know that u can go to Schucks or Autozone, use their diagnostic tool for free, and read all codes and reset CEL?

    Well, that's why I dont want to buy the cable for that, it's free at any auto place. Lots of people like to diagnose for free anyway, than they want to fix it and all you say is "NO!"

    I still want to get the cable and the shareware, but there are a lot out there and I don't know which one to get. Which shareware version on Rosstech do I need, and which cable on ebay do I need?

    (2004 A4 1.8t Quattro)

    Thanks everyone!
