Need help locating vagcom mods for my 2011 A3

[TRON1C]

Title says it all. I'm was going to do some basic vagcom mods to my new a3, but i wanted to check to see if anyone knew of any mods that change the lights, indicators, or anything else specific to the a3's with the factory led headlights...
Also, I noticed that my navi unit doesn't play dvd videos. Anyone know a way I can get around this to play videos, maybe off an ipod or the sd cards? I'd greatly appreciate it.. I really want to add video in motion to my car.

You can do the "Winking" VAG mod.. thats where the LEDs stay on in the front when you signal I believe... Theres also the "needle sweep" and you can VAG your tails to behave like the euro tails.. Thats what I need to get done to mine since I just got the Euro Tails put in... I would be interested to know if the codes are different for our 2011s because no one has been able to get into my car with their VAG yet... not even Audi! haha.. :)

[TRON1C]

Yea, I just noticed that when in DRL mode, the LED's go off when you signal. Definitely gonna try to change that so the LED's stay while only the indicator blinks. I'm not familiar with the Euro style tail lights... what do those look like in comparison to the American ones?

The things I want are mostly the basic mods: needle sweep, window rolldown/up w/ remote, all doors unlock w/ one click from remote, and remove seatbelt chime.

Again, if anyone can think of anything else please let me know. I'll also update this after I get my car back to let you know what mods are available for the 2011 A3's.

I want to VAG it so there is no light on inside the annoying orange reflectors in the headlights to make it look more euro spec. This can be done right?

[TRON1C]

I don't really understand...

The DRL on during signal is vary easy to do, but if you have a newer version of the the vag-com the location of the check box is actually different from the older module, you just need to look for it. as for the needle sweep, i believe its not possible with the A3 instrument clusters.

[TRON1C]

I'll see what is available on Wednesday when I take it in, and report back. If needle sweep isn't available I'll cry.

Needle sweep is not available in the States. It is available only for the S3 cluster, not for the standard A3.
The one thing I was hoping to find out how to do is keeping the LED's on the same brightness as the DRL's when you turn on your main lights. Did you notice the LED's dim when turning on the fogs and headlights. I heard there was a way to keep it the same intensity as when you have the DRL's on.

Tim, is this you? I think that must be new to 2011 because my LED's stay at the same intensity when I turn on the lights on my 09.

Hey Carlos,
Yeah, it's me.
That is strange. Mine dim when I turn on the main lights or foglights.

[TRON1C]

So apparently the only things they could do on my car was emergency braking and remote controlled windows... I guess those two are already in the car, they just need to be activated. He also said there was a message in there that said "More to come soon" or something like that, so hopefully more options will be available in the coming months.
My brothers A4 was much easier though, they gave him everything: seatbelt chime, needle swipe, indicators, led intensity...

I stand corrected Tim. It does dim. I will have to look into that.

Seat belt chime can be turned off.

[TRON1C]

Seat belt chime can be turned off.

Perhaps with longcoding, but it's not a native setting yet.

[pretarion]

I inquired about the LED's staying the same brightness when turning on the foglights from a website in the UK.
This is the response I got.
I would love to see if it works, but don't have a Vagcom.
Can someone try this out?



09 Cent Elect
Coding
long coding helper
Byte 24
bit 0 to 6 DRL Dimming decimal value % 92 *1 = 92%
bit 7 DRL as postion lights checked

change the number to 100

it is a number x 1% = brightnes percet

eg 100 x 1% = 100%

retick bit 7 box again

if you want your rear lights with the drls add 1 to the byte 18 bit 7
eg my TT is 58 LED drls BiZennon i change it to 59
i now have all side lights with DR

You need to change the digit on the top line long coding as there is no option with the helper
use vcds 10.3 but I use the new VCDS 11.2 download

[cubantexan]

I will try it tomorrow.

I was able to get the seat belt chime off and the Windows to roll down. Had to reference a thread from Vortex on the MK6 to get it right for the Windows. What you do is make the option to roll down the windows with the remote become available in the DIS and then activate it there.

[grimp]

I will try it tomorrow.

Did it work?

[IndianDrives]

If you have a newer version of VAG-COM position of the box is really different from the old module, you pick. such as scanning a needle, I think it is not possible with groups of instruments A3.

[Lunchsacks]

BUMP! and new codes lately?
