first of all post pics.

and secondly, use the search feature.

so far i've done:
comfort opening and closing of windows and sunroof
seatbelt chime delete
DRL's off when switch is set to OFF
Removed NA headlight rules to run adaptive lights with high beams
Rear DRL's
Oil temp in DIS
...to name a couple

I've also unlocked Video in Motion but that can not be done with Vag. Must be done with the Emmanuele VIM dongle.

googling "vcds audi s3 8v" will give more.

Curious as to which systems you guys are buying?
I was looking at Ross-Tech HEX-USB-CAN but it states it might not work on some 2016 MQB models. Going to give them a call tomorrow.

I would love to know that info too.

Ross tech recommend Hex Net for 2016 onwards.

I was highly looking into buying a vagcom, but if I did I didn't want to buy the lower end one ($349 one) because I figured if I ever buy another
audi I want it future proof so there is the hex-net which is $449 and let's you use it on 10 vins. But then I really didn't feel like paying that much
because that can eventually go to a tune or some other mod. But on the S3 group a few weeks ago someone posted about the http://obdeleven.com/
Which is an OBD bluetooth module that works with your phone (only for android at the moment I believe) and allow you to do vcds coding, the best part it was only around $60 something.
It also has coding for dummies which I like and hate because it has standard codes you can unlock called apps (though you have to buy credits, but if you don't want to buy the credits you can still do the long coding.)
The good thing is if you open the app everyday you get a free credit so I did some things with long coding and some with the credits, I have yet to purchase any though lol I just wait a few days till I have enough to unlock something else.
I got it around 2 weeks ago and so far I unlocked:

Comfort turn signals from 3 to 4 (used credits)
Needle sweep like the S3 since I have an A3 (long coding)
Rear DRL on all the time with Front DRL (used credits)
Hellphase LED turn signals, (switches between the DRL and the amber turn signal while using the turn signals or hazards) (long coding)
I've also unlocked Video in Motion with the Emmanuele VIM dongle. But this can now be done with OBD11 but you have to buy credits.
But so far it's totally worth it plus you can clear codes and get live readings of the engine while the car is on all from your phone.

I've been using https://obdeleven.com. It's a bluetooth dongle that is able to do long coding and adaptations.
Worked fine on my S3 to do oil temp in DIS.
I like it since it's very portable and I can scan and code the car from my Android phone.
It does not have the description for any of the bytes/bits. So you have to know what you want to change before doing it.

Not bad for around $60.
