DIY Audi Individual Drive Select - VAGCOM (one for Dave!)

[zee007]

Unreal find in my honset opinion from member C99 on the A5 Owners Club: http://www.a5oc.com/forums/showthrea...568/index.html

This enables a menu in MMI to select from Comfort, Auto or Dynamic even if you did not purchase this option. It's quite superb. Here are the instructions for those who don't want to read the thread. I figured out how to make it work for 3G - most is the same, couple of tweaks in the hidden menu.

Activate Audi drive select individual in MMI:
for MMI 2G go to secret menu and in Diag settings, Car menus maske, check Carisma and go down to Accept changes.
Restart MMI.

for MMI 3G go to the secret menu, Select "Car" menu, Select “cardevicelist”, scroll down and check Carisma.
Now, go back, and still in the "Car" menu, select “carmenuoperation”. Scroll down to Carisma. It will be set to 0 you will change it to 1 then push the scroll wheel to set it.
Restart MMI.

Nex (same for both 2G and 3G) Coding 09-Central electric:

for carisma engine only
Byte 7, bit 5, change 0 to 1
Byte 8, bit 2, change 0 to 1
Byte 17, bit 7, change 0 to 1

After this coding channels 63 - 66 are enabled (before this they are not available)

[09 – Cent. Elect.]
[Security Access - 16]
[Adaptation - 10] -> Channel 63
change to 04

[Adaptation - 10] -> Channel 64
change to 04

[Adaptation - 10] -> Channel 65
change to 04

[Adaptation - 10] -> Channel 66
change to 04

4 = Individual

Good luck having that control your dampers and dynamic steering ratio. Since, you know, a car ordered without Drive Select has neither adjustable dampers nor the dynamic steering assembly.

I suppose if it changed the shift points for those of you with the Tip, then that could be worthwhile. Problem is, you're stuck in that one setting, since you don't have control buttons in the cockpit. Same thing with throttle mapping.

Let's say it only manages the engine/tranny shift points, does that mean I can still adjust my REAL Drive Select for the suspension and steering?

By that I mean:

-Engine: Locked
-Suspension: Comfort or Auto
-Steering: Comfort or Auto

Is this possible?

Not looking for suspension changes to be honest as I have Eibachs... Was simply looking for transmision and engine modifications to compliment my tiptronic....
