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

[drob23]

They all need to be set to 4 individual

sorry reread and saw 2013 or b8.5

channels 63-65 should remain same as oem w/ facelift models

ie. example in recent 2014 S7

channel 63=0
channel 64=218
channel 65=0
channel 66=15

Change only channel 66 - I changed to 111 or 15+96

channel 66 coding as below

1-individual
2-comfort + individual
4-auto + individual
8-dynamic + individual
16-offroad + individual
32-efficiency + individual
64-race +individual

Individual settings are saved in mmi menu

ah, thx. I noticed nothing seemed to change until i changed channel 66. Has no one figured out how to make B8.5's default to a specific mode? Even if I enter 1 in channel 66 it won't default to Individual. Changing the values for channel 66 just seems to change what modes are displayed in MMI.

Incorrect. All settings EXCEPT "engine" setting stays in the mode last selected, however, the engine will ALWAYS start in "D mode" not "S Mode" unless a modification is made in VCDS. This is in an effort to save gas mileage :-) Thanks Audi

So not sure if anyone figured this out, but it really pissed me off because I want the transmission in "S" mode and 'dynamic' to start. I prefer to have 'individual' mode as my soft suspension setting + 'auto' engine mode, hate comfort for the steering. I frequently use the shift lever in manual mode, and if I forget to move it over, I've accidentally thrown it into N while trying to push the car (let's just say this isn't good). Anyways, just spent 5 min out there with the car and have things set as I want

63 - 3
64 - 3 (I don't understand what 218 is above)
65 - 3
66 - 15 (comment - this sets the available modes - funny to accidentally set 'race' and 'efficiency', no idea what these do)
Already forgot what the default settings are , so no going back I suppose (unless someone posts them).

Now the car starts in 'dynamic' mode, regardless of last setting, but puts the engine/trans in 'S' mode by default! I might change channel 66 to 9 since I don't see the point of 'comfort' or 'auto' modes...
