VCDS/Hidden Menu Mods Updated For Facelift 2013 B8.5's

[rs182]

I'm surprised this hasn't been addressed yet so I thought I'd get the ball rolling. Many of the VAG-COM mods discovered for the B8 platform don't work the same, or at all, on the B8.5. Here's my analysis thus far:


Audi A4/S4/A5/S5 B8.5 VCDS (VAG-COM) Codes
(Modified from list available here: http://www.a5oc.com/forums/audi-a5-s...agcom-mod.html)

I also recommend keeping an eye on this site for the latest VAG-COM mods: http://www.audienthusiasts.com/

Disable bulb error message with LED reverse lights installed

http://www.a5oc.com/forums/a5-perfor...tml#post296914

I got it. I figured the coding would be different between the A/S4 and the A/S5, since we have four bulbs compared to their 2. Once I got the channel it was just a matter of figuring out which decimals coded for the reverse lights (or which 1's I had to change to 0's to turn off the reverse light sensors).

Steps:
1. Module 46 Central Convenience > Security Access 16 > 16017 (use this access code, not the one the ross-tech suggests)
2. Adaption 10 > Channel 181 >Read

The value you get is 65535 (at least that was mine). When you convert that to decimal it comes out to 1111111111111111. Bits 5,6,7,8 code for the reverse lights (1111RLRL11111111) so when you convert them it becomes 1111000011111111. Convert that back to binary and it becomes 61695

3. Enter 61695, hit test then save. Done.

No more reverse light error message. Thanks to awhk82 for showing me the path, couldn't have done it otherwise. These steps are for the US Spec lights, but if you get the value 65535 then the above steps should work in ROW.

I got the Cree ones also and they are nice and bright. What I don't like about them is when they are off and in the housing, the shape and angle of the lens gives of a kind of yellowish tint, which you can see through the glass. Also it gives off more of a spotlight effect than actually filling the housing with LED light. I may have to find another brand that doesn't give off that yellowish tint, but for now it's ok.

Edit: BTW I didn't need or use any resistors. Also the face lift model IS different being that it only needs 2 bulbs instead of 4. If you follow the above method it should still work, as it did for someone else when they tried it on theirs.

Does anyone know how to disable the ignition discharge noise when you get out of a b8.5 with the car still on?

[cnicolae]

This is s great thread, but I have 2 questions:

1. How can I change my internal temperatures from F to C?
2. The roll windows with remote coding got accepted but I still can't use it with the remote. Do I have to do anything else? Nothing new in the MMI

[BirdmanQ5]

1: that's in a car settings screen. I don't have my car in front of me, but I know its a corner menu that gets you there. It' should be under "measurement units" where you can even change your speedo readout.

2: you need to go to "central locking" in the settings menu, should have appeared at the top. Try your key with windows open to make sure it is properly coded.

[BirdmanQ5]

^ neither require further VagCom if the coding was done properly

Has anyone found a way to disable the "economy" updates? For example, turn off the notices to "check shift indicator" and the big green gas pump... If it was listed above, I missed it...

just change the display mode using the button on the right stalk. if you want the economy screen up without the suggestions i guess you could shut them off but seems pointless.

the shift indicator will be up no matter what screen you select, but you can shut the suggested gear off through the MMI

yup.. just fyi though, the screens are for the latest version of VCDS (12.x). They have new dropdowns unlike version 11.x. Also, the workshop code and security code may be different for the 14s, couldn't tell you though since mine is a 13.

I just got my VAGCOM today, and when I tried this, I got a warning saying: "This is an uninitialized control module!" with a suggestion to select some defaults. I tried selecting "No", but it turns out this module needs something to accept the change. According to a Ross-Tech doc (http://www.ross-tech.com/vcds/tour/a...on_screen.html), it says this would be a case where I need to select "Yes." Just making sure this is normal/common. It's scary. ;)

[Black_V!per]

Not sure about other B8.5's but mine came with TPMS already enabled. Similar to the needle sweep.

Still waiting on my vagcom, haven't made the purchase just yet but I plan on working on all of these. Thanks for the info!

Hope this helps. Though I do have a 2014 B8.5, my values may differ as I'm noticing some things different than 2013 B8.5s. I'm still working on these.

These are correct I was off on the numbers I thought I remembered. I have a 2014 as well and I really appreciate the help.

sorry to necro-ish bump this thread.

got the cable today and immediately got to disabling almost everything i wanted. however, although I as able to disable the amber corner lights (usually on with city lights), the front turn signals stay still stay on. is this by default? if so i never noticed lol. is there a way to disable the front turn signals with city lights as well?

never mind guys. experimented around and found that in the original code it says to change bit 3 to bit 0 to disable corner ambers. with the check option available i unchecked bit 3 and checked bit 0 (which turns on the front signals with city lights). basically you uncheck BOTH for a nice, clean front headlights with just the LED DRL/xenons.

also, VCDS does indeed work on Macbook pro running parallels with windows XP

I think the general consensus around here is to bump threads instead of create new ones. Its the internet, I don't see the issue with either.

Glad you got your answer, even better you posted it here!

Its not the reset. Its a combination of the buttons on the stock, forgot which. I'll try and remember to update it, had to fidget with it a couple times myself.
