Little Annoyances

**Zacreth** · 09-13-2016 03:05 PM

So I just bought my first Audi a little over 2.5 weeks ago so I'm still learning about the car and such.

But I just wanted to point out what is hell is it with the sun roof cover always opening an inch or two from acceleration? I mean I'm probably just being a little picky but damn that's annoying...lol.

I was about to ask the same question on the forum. Mine does that also and it really bothers me. I wasn't sure if it was just my car.

**AnthonyA3** · 09-13-2016 05:13 PM

I guess I'm lucky mine doesn't do that. My pet peeve is that I can't see how many kms I have on the car with the digital speedometer set

**Cairo94507** · 09-13-2016 05:34 PM

Yeah, I am pretty sure they all do it. Really not even aggressive driving required for it to slide back.

Or the oil temperature, or anything else useful.

Coming from an S4, my list is no homelink, no seat memory, no rear door touch sensors, no tilting passenger mirror on reverse, quieter chirp on lock...think that's about it /rant

**saxon** · 09-13-2016 07:42 PM

So my car isn't three only one that happens to!!

cross one off your list...

Passenger mirror dip…mirror switch has to be on the passenger setting for it to work.
52 Passenger door
07 coding

Enable bit 2 and 3
THEN (this part didn't work in mine \/)
09 Central Electronics
31347
Adaptations
17-Access control 2 Spiegelabsenkung bei Rueckwaertsfahrt (change to “active”)
THEN

the option in the menu screen.

Thank god for this. Just need to have a few beers ready for a friend with VCDS haha.

Also planning to do VIM, LED wink, remote windows up AND down, parking cam shutoff speed, think that's about it...minor things I've lived for so long with the S4 and taken for granted haha

Mine has never done this. Maybe it's just on 2016's?

My 2016 sunroof opens a little. I also have homelink, so luckily that's not an annoyance for me

Save your beers :) and buy an OBDeleven around $60. (https://obdeleven.com/)
Best equipment I've bought so far. I've done a ton of adjustments with it.

Android only...looks cool though. I tried to get a thing for carista or something but it never ended up working out because amazon never shipped my device.

Yea I think that video brings out you can buy a cheap android tablet, which even with doing that it's still cheaper than paying $300 plus for a rosstech vagcom.
Having a friend with it helps too though, but sometimes I want to make changes without having to rely on someone else. That's why I went this route plus it's future proof.
I hear they have an iOS app in the works though just don't know the release date.

You can - just push start without your foot on the brake.

Can you set most code blocks with that?

you can just hold down the volume button on the center console. at least that is how my stereo works in my 16

[QUOTE=forbiddenbeat;11885561]You can - just push start without your foot on the brake.

I know, but id like to listen to the radio while parked and just have power to the radio. kinda like when you just turn the key in the ignition half way on older cars.

Depress the ignition button > press it again. Only the Radio will stay on (for roughly 10mins).

On another note I also have the sun shade issue, if that's the worst thing that happens during my ownership, I'm happy.

what does "parking cam shutoff speed" do?

that's a good idea. to bad it doesnt just stay on until you open the door. wonder if there is a vcds tweak for that?

The parking cam shuts off when you reach a forward speed of 10mph or greater. You can increase this usually to a maximum of 20mph. My past vehicles could anyway.

**AnthonyA3** · 09-14-2016 01:08 PM

Any way to stop the parking brake from coming on when I open the door and the car is in reverse?

**BirdmanQ5** · 09-14-2016 06:27 PM

I believe there is, but you're gonna want to go ahead and not do that. If you climb out when you think it's in park, you will likely run your own ass over.

Lol thanks man but I've gone almost 25 years without running myself over.

**esemett** · 09-14-2016 09:10 PM

I've never had this issue

**shtaka** · 09-15-2016 02:24 AM

I just found that even with the car off, the radio will come on when you push the button on the center console.

Haha ya my wife just rolled her eyes and mumbled something when I dragged outside to show her that. It also works by pushing the screen button on the dash.
