[RobertViper]

Thanks. That looks different than my menu. Do you have the 3g+ MMI?

Can you take a pic of the default tpms value also please?

where is that located? I think it's a percentage > 12-15.

Tested for several months on a B8.5 2016 S4 w/automatic transmission running 3G+ MMI/Nav

Set Automatic Transmission Start Mode to D or S

(09 - Cent. Elect.) (Security Access - 10) (Adaptation 10)
Channel 64 - Stored Value = 218 = Starting mode is always D

Optional values with what they do; more control is always good!
Channel 64 - New Value = 00; Starting mode is determined by ADS selection at engine shutdown (Comfort and Auto=D, Dynamic=S, Individual=whatever you pick)
Channel 64 - New Value = 03; Starting mode is always S regardless of ADS selection at engine shutdown (opposite of stock)
Channel 64 - New Value = 11; Starting mode is S with all ADS settings at shutdown except Comfort where it's D
Channel 64 - New Value = 19; Starting mode is S with all ADS settings at shutdown except Auto where it's D

Nice I'll give that a try

Yes it works. I can confirm it also effects the exhaust valves but not during a cold start

Will it work for 2013 S5?

I'm surprised we don't have on here how to reset the Service Indicator or change them to our own custom values

Because that's right there in VCDS in the Perform SRI function. You can also edit the parameters to your liking. I have mine set to 5K oil and 10K for OEM maintenance :)

That makes sense. I'm running OBDEleven not Vag Com. I'm on a college budget right now. Here in a few months I've have the real deal. In 17 Instruments/Dashboard in Adaptation I found channels 50-51&53-54 adjusted the mileage and days between the SRI and oil change interval but my "service required" light still comes on and the mileage counter doesn't tick down on my intervals. Everything is stuck. Any suggestions?

I was told to change channel 45 to 0 but it will only go 1-2. Nothing more or less

Can't know for sure w/o trying. I think it depends on what MMI version your car is running. My guess would be it'll work on facelift S4's and S5's (2013 and later?) running 3G+ MMI like mine.

I have 3G+ MMI. Need to try it.

It will make the valves start in the mode they were left in except on a cold start where they will always be closed. Only now you only need to put it in gear for them to revert rather than cycle the modes

I'm sorry. I feel dumb. What exhaust valves are you referring to. :(

Newb question here. For some reason I have lost the HVAC display that would show up on my nav screen when I was using it. Ex: I would hit the heated seat button and a display of the seat with the different heat settings would show. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated
Thank you.

I could hit any HVAC control button(heat seat,fan speed,etc.)and it would show up on the screen and it would show up depending on either side of screen, driver or passenger side.

Have you done anything recently with vcds or in green menu or updated sw ? Which mmi system?

Both in green menu and vcds. But only after this happened. I have 3g mmi, if that is what you mean?

Can audi indy or dealership bring the mmi back to factory settings(as delivered settings?)

Not sure about indy shop, but dealer can reset all back to factory. Can you see on your vcds debug folder what you have changed? In green menu there is only 3 places where ac must be enabled...will post soon!

If you not played with hvac module 08 with vcds, go to green menu, choose car, devicelist tick air condition, then carmenuops air condition set to 5 and make sure menu carprotocollswitch choise air condition is not ticked and 3 button reset!

No, you can do what ever you like, point was- if you are not changed module 08 coding, instruction's which I posted may work!

Thank you for your help. I figured it out. I went in to the hidden menu and reconfigured a few options and the HVAC screen came back

Does anyone knows how to code my tail lights for turn signal bulb error?

I changed my tail lights from stock to Spyder. My stock are ROW while the Spyder are US. I had to make some wiring changes to the outer lights because they came with different plug. That is fixed now and the tail lights are working as intended. The only problem is I get turn signal bulb error. I am guessing this can be coded out as when installing LED bulbs on reverse lights.

Thanks.

As you are giving not much of specific info, change channel 181 to 0 and all taillight bulbcheck should be off!

Done, problem solved, thank you Gunnark.

I want to be able to charge my cellphone while not in the car. How can I enable power to the aux/cig lighters while the car is off?

Anyone figure out how to do this yet?

You rewire the fuse like he posted. Make sure it's not a Samsung or they'll get you for arson.

Keep in mind this will keep your 12v plug active when the car is off. Which could potentially drain your battery putting the car in power management mode.

If you scan with VCDS you might see a few soft codes for quiescent circuit if this happens.

No risk, just FYI

My B6 had power to the cig lighter all the time. Never had any battery issues.

Thanks for the link! Def gonna do this.

[whiped]

Our battery is pretty good. I have to leave my car parked for like 3 days with the dash cam on the whole time before it goes into power saving mode.

It was more just an FYI in case someone leaves a detector or something plugged in
