C7 A6/A7 & S6/S& VAG COM list and help

[kurupt_hawaiian]

Disable amber corner lights
Disable NAV & Phone warning messages while entering data at speed
Disable Seatbelt Chime
Enable Adaptive brake lights
Enable Hidden menu in MMI
Enable Remote Operation windows&sunroof
Enable VIM on MMI
Adjust LED Brightness

So last night we did the VAG list above and have a little issue we can't figure out. This is for the C7 A6 with the Xenon headlights (not full LEDS). When we have the lights off the LED DRL strip works fine. But as soon as we turn the headlights on the DRL strip goes off and just the Xenon headlight comes on. There's a bulb out error that pops up saying that the DRL's are out...but they still work when you turn the headlight switch back off to run DRLs. We tried putting the codes back to normal (stock) but same issue. Help!

Regarding LED Brightness

What was the default value (26?) and which is the new value?

I can't remember the default but we changed it to 100.

[soslower]

I remember I had to change a digit in mine not a checkbox. Mine was flickering also flickering in top of the bulb out error. But it's all working now. Put up a screenshot of your code.

That's what I was thinking, can you post your code? I'm gonna go meet up with him again later on today and try to figure this thing out.

Hey Rich its for my car lol ;-)

Okay we got this figured out. If OP wants to put this in the first post for future C7 A6 owners with the Xenon headlights (not full LED), that would be nice.

Adjust brightness for Xenon LED strip (headlights off)
[09 – Cent. Elect.] [Security Access - 16] (enter security code. One of the default codes is- 20113)
[Adaptation - 10] -> Channel 1
Set value to 100 for full brightness

Adjust brightness for Xenon LED strip (headlights/parking lights on)
[09 – Cent. Elect.] [Security Access - 16] (enter security code. One of the default codes is- 20113)
[Adaptation - 10] -> Channel 3
Set value to 100 for full brightness

I had to click the values up to 100. If I just typed in 100 test and save it still wouldn't be as bright. It was really weird. But we got everything worked out.

"Enable Remote Operation Windows and Sunroof"---- not working on "down". Windows and sunroof close fine, but will not open from remote.
All have been "enabled (ON)" in the Central Locking section of MMI.

Anyone have a suggestion?

[Kamakazi]

Can anybody do a break down on what can be done in the hidden menu?

I made a rookie mistake today and disabled my Amber corner lights without writing down my factory numbers. Now it says my turn signals bulbs (the amber corner lights) need to be replaced. When using my turn signal I have the noise like a bulb is out. Does anyone know how I can find the factory settings code to re-enable the amber corner lights? This is the code I used to turn them off.

Any way to have the emergency brake not come on when I crack the door open to check if I'm between the parking space lines? (engine running, but in park with my foot on the brake - jeebus that's annoying)

dunno if you ever solved this but on my [early] 2014 A7 TDI, the VAG-COM tool allowed me to modify:
[53 Parking Brake]
Adaptation
Channel (1) Driver Out Apply stored value: activated

I was able to change this value to deactivated although it required security access first. Happily VAG-COM supplied the security code suggestion of "78713" which allowed me to modify this value.

And yes, the default/shipped operation (opening driver door activated the emergency brake) was a PIA.

Cheers!

regarding the needle sweep, is that possible to enable the background led lights inside the speedo counter for 14 rs7. Or is it an European models only mod?

looks like this

[hayasa]

What is the purpose of the red lights around the speedo?

When you set your cruise control, one of them will light up to show what it's set to (or two, if it's not an increment of 5 mph/kph).

Hi,

Any luck enabling these red segments on speedo? I've got 2015MY EUR-spec A7 and successfully turned on the needle sweep, but no red perimeter light (with cruise enabled, too).

[Soft]

the red segments came with enabling needle sweep on my 2012

Your car is EUR-spec too, right?

When you enable cruise control, does it indicate the set speed with a red perimeter segment?

A friend enabled the needle sweep for me yesterday, no LEDs on my speedo either. Maybe it is a A7 thing, or possible an option package I don't have???

Oh yeah, why is this thread not a sticky? It is on other model forms, would be great for quick reference!

Seems like it is a special feature of the cruise control - some cars indicate the set speed with red segments and some don't.

Would much appreciate if anyone who's car indicates these red segments shares module 17 long coding with me so I will do some research here.

I've been searching this for a week now. I enabled the needle sweep and only the red lights on the tach light up along the perimeter. Looking through youtube there seem to be versions that do both, just the speedo, or just the tach. Any reason for this?

[werty81]

The red lights around the speedo are only on models with the Adaptive Cruise Control - they are used to show the set speed when the ACC is enabled.

After reading through 26 pages of this thread, seems that way unfortunately. Looks rather silly with just half of the lights coming on during the sweep on cars without ACC.

My 12' A6 does this automatically after enabling the needle sweep

cool feature

was your a6 equipped with advanced driving assistance, such as adaptive cruise control?

Sci, thanks for putting this together. It's very helpful. I was able to perform almost all the mods without issue. Successful mods are increase LED brightness, Disable amber corner lights, Disable NAV & Phone warning messages while entering data at speed, Disable Seatbelt Chime, Enable Automatic Gear selection shown in DIS, Enable Hidden menu in MMI, Enable Independent Fogs control with high beams, Enable Remote Operation windows & sunroof

A couple questions for you guys...

1) Does lap timer/ boost gauge only work on HUD equipped cars? I was able to access the coding in VAG-COM and check the box for "Lap Timer active" but can not see/ access lap timer/ boost gauge.



2) when trying to enable VIM and getting the security code, the first digit (#6 in the serial #) is a letter... how do i proceed to enable VIM when only digits are valid inputs?

Here is how to access laptimer








As for the serial # never seen that before try using http://www.audienthusiasts.com/Articles_VIM.html

Driving to dinner I will do more research after.

thanks Sci, I was able to successfully access lap timer feature
also was able to enter my serial # in the VIM code generator on the link you posted and it gave me a valid access code to use.
thanks again brother, youre a big help. i love the AZ community

I have 2014 a6 with 3.0tfsi, I enabled lap timer. I started timer. I am now on lap 20 and cannot figure out how to reset. Also how do you get the shift point bar to appear.

Hi, the shift light bar appears when you put the gearbox into manual mode.

I enabled both needle sweep and lap timer, but I don't see lap timer

Lap timer/Boost gauge does not work on some maybe all 2012 models.

that might be why, thanks
