    B8/B8.5 VCDS & Hidden Menu: The Complete List

    I've been trying to compile a complete list of VCDS mods specific for our S4 cars. I started going through the B8 A4 Cool VAG-COM codes thread but the info is spread over 30 pages and repeats or is trivial. AudiEnthousiasts has also started to put a list together organized by category for the A4. I like his idea but I think there's a need for a straight list of cool VAG-COM mods specific to our S4 and a detail how-to consice in one document.

    Please note, I'm not trying to steal or take credit for these mods, I've simply used the information available throughout the web and tried to bring them in a central place. Your help in filling in a few blanks and validating my info would be appreciated.

    *Suggestion: Print this and check off the mods you've activated and store it with your owner's manual - Will come handy when you need to re-do the coding after an ECU flash.

    Here's the list I've compiled so far:
    • Disable After-wipe of windscreen wipers
    • Disable amber corner lights
    • Disable amber side markers
    • Disable Key warning (keyless models)
    • Disable LED 'wink' on turn signal
    • Disable "Lights are on" warning
    • Disable NAV & Phone warning messages while entering data at speed
    • Disable Seatbelt Chime
    • Enable Adaptive brake lights
    • Enable Ambient Interior Lighting Control
    • Enable Automatic Gear selection shown in DIS
    • Enable Automatic Hill Hold Assist 'lite'
    • Enable Auxiliary ventilation
    • Enable Battery meter
    • Enable DIS with Efficiency Program
    • Enable Double Disarm Beep
    • Enable DRL Selectable via MMI
    • Enable DRL
    • Enable Euro parking lights that turn on signal at night
    • Enable fog lamp to come on for the same side as that turn signal
    • Enable Front Turn Signals as Parking lights
    • Enable Gauge Test/Needle Sweep
    • Enable Hidden menu in MMI
    • Enable Import CDs to MMI's HD
    • Enable Independent Fogs control with high beams
    • Enable Lap Timer
    • Enable LEDs remain bright for parking lights

    Again, I take no credit for this information, most of the above is available on these forums and specialty websites as well as Ross-Tech's support pages. I only wanted to group all the info of the pertinant VCDS mods to our S4.

    Not all the above has been verified, I'll be happy to re-edit this post to correct any info.
    Oh and I'm not responsible for any screw ups this causes, good luck.

    Can I get a few volunteers to nominate this post as a sticky?
