    VAG Com Ross Tech VCDS

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I just purchased a VCDS from Ross Tech. I own a 2007 RS4. Any suggestions on the best code modifications? I am sure I will sniff out plenty on my own as I get in to it but I would appreciate any advice from those with experience. My drive train is stock except for an H pipe in replacement of the Resonator pipe. And 86,000 miles.

    It depends on what you definition is of "best", here's what I've done on my 2007 RS4:
    - enable the sidelight warning in the instruments
    - changed the volume and frequency of the parking sensors (so I can hear them above my Milltek and to better differentiate between front & rear)
    - changed the duration of the coming/leaving home lights
    - enabled the window/sunroof close and window open with the remote (as well as the 2 press to unlock all doors)
    - changed the threshold for the auto wipers

    Plus a few others I can't remember at the moment.

    You can clear any fault codes in the headlight system, and put the headlights into alignment mode with VCDS.
