NEW: VagCom VCDS Mod List for C7-C7.5

[akingzkid]

here are some photos, I can not get the channel 98 to work. I can do the byte 15 no problem.

I attached some photos.

This sounds silly but I will say it anyway. Are you clicking the "Read" button to the right of it? If not, you need to, if memory serves me correctly.

Yes i know traffic sign recognition since my euro car came equiped with it. Wasn't aware this wasn't an availible option for other countries and no idea if the kufatec coding works (afaik the image progressing camera software looks for the white round with red border signs, i suppose in the US it uses different signs but maybe the software can be recoded of opened to other regions and signs). It does work perfect....sadly our country decided to remove all 70km/h signs and one needs to fall back on other signs (leaving 'urban' signs or untill next crossing....). Nice move Belgium (rolls eyes). Luckly GPS info helps the system....

Well well, today had some time to play with the coding and my results are following:

- if i start the car and open the door, i get the nuclear alarm.

- if i start the car, drive a bit and open the door, there is no alarm (engine running). If i step out of the vehicle, where i previously got the ”key not in vehicle” warning, the engine now shuts down.

- interior lights work again 👍 This was done earlier but i only noticed it after trying to mute the alarm. Problem was that on OBDeleven, central electrics (09) long coding there is ”Background lightning” and ”interior lightning adaptation”... Interior lightning adaptation (even tho in the MMI its called background lightning) is the ”mood lightning” in the footwells/side panels, and background lightning just kills the interior lights.

As a added bonus, i due to the magnificent feature of OBDeleven always returning to Byte 0 after programming, i successfully fucked up the long coding in comfort module 🤦 The person who came up with the phrase “If you want something done right, you better do it yourself” didn’t take in to account, that myself is a fucking idiot.

Strange you still get the beep when you open the door with engine on. Was the car in P or N?
Always make a backup of your module before making changes or blame yourself later on (i always forget to make backup too tough :p ).
Hmm afaik my engine doesn't shuts down if i step out adn take keyfob with me, but it does give me the display warning. Might look it up again tomorrow with odb11, something tells me your did that instead of the doorbeep when engine is on...

Sorry to hear this. Doesn't mean you're an idiot, it's a simple mistake. Although I understand the frustration. Perhaps open your OBDEleven app for the module you edited coding on, and see if it is listed in the history. Perhaps it is there and will fix your problem.

This is one area where VCDS is really helpful IMO. Any time I work on a vehicle I haven't touched before, I run a full scan with VCDS and save the log. This provides the original long coding for every single module in a text file; so if I screw up any coding, I can immediately revert back to stock. OBDEleven has some sort of log to file function, but VCDS is so much simpler for this.

For the first start (selector at P) it beeps when i open the door. If to drive to local grocery store and throw the stick to P and then open the door, there is no beep and engine runs. Once i step out of the car, the engine dies. In any case if the shift selector is on D i get the roll away warning and bunch of beeps.

I think its related to long coding Byte 0. After modifying the byte 98 it jumped to Byte 0, and i tried the above “enable bits 0 to 3”. I memorized the original configuration, but when after swiping “write” and realizing that I’m working on Byte 0 i paniced and forgot the original configuration.

In OBDeleven for IOS there is no backups or history. At first inscreenshotted the chamges, untill i realized that in coding / adaptation it wouldn’t show you the control module. Them you have 20 screenshots and no way to distinguish which is from what module...

Most of the times, you can just counter do your steps, but if you are in byte 0 when you think you are still in 98 things get nasty.

Btw, i noticed that in some of the modules, in adaptation there is function “Perform factory reset”. Anyone ever tried what it does? Return the original long coding / adaptations or?

Anybody figure out yet how to get the spoiler to come up at lower speed vs manual operation?

[Dasquade]

No idea (no spoiler here)...but maybe it is ECU controled since it is speedo related? If so, maybe DS1 can unlock the 'spoiler' table and let you adjust it?
*wild guess, since i noticed exhaust flaps can be adjusted in the DS1 tables (unless it are other flaps).

Ive asked on this (Audi Doc) and the results are buried in code, if even readable in english. changing to kph units would achieve this?

gotta be possible to set the threshold to the units that give you what you want.

Meh, speculation on my side, but i assume it is bit simular to the exhaust flaps but instead of RMPS regulated by speed of vehicle. You might want to contact John Banks from Dyno spectrum, if he has a free moment, if he can find any folder linked too the spoiler. It is a wild guess, but if so...an other reason to consider getting DS1 :p.

In iOS the history only shows errors and one-click-app changes:

And in control module coding / adaptation there is nothing to indicate what module you’re working on:

Don’t get me wrong! I love the app. And i fully acknowledge that it’s still work in progress. But, i also can’t do nothing about my hasty behavior that can’t wait 5secs to write changes down before committing them :)

Random unknown feature enabled.

Got any more info...like how you enable this (coding), where can it be found (looks under car systems) and maybe most important what is it :p.
Looks like battery charge volume?
*planned to include battery charge status/volume on my FIS mmi screen as i find it often a must known item when working on the car that involves ignition on.

I don't have a clue what it is. Sounds like a charge timer for e-tron.

I know my original coding I took a picture of before and after I ain't no chump lol. Anyone who performed the VCDS change that makes the buzzing noise go away should check and make sure this didn't happen to them. I honestly don't think it's that big of a deal.

Hmm will check aswell this afternoon about the auto-lock.

[Carl0s]

Well, i can confirm that it doesn’t automatically lock 👍

Could this locking have something to do with the automatic re-locking that occurs if the doors are get unlocked, but no door is opened within 30 seconds?

Btw, could someone whit similar options vehicle share their Comfort module long coding from Byte 0 ? I'm having this DTC in Central electronics "Comfort system central control module 2 - No signal/Communication" that I think came from me fucking up the coding in Byte 0.

I have low spec vehcile:
- 2015 Avant
- Low RMC
- 2.0 TDI S-tronic
- FWD
- Electric sport seats (driver side with memory)
- Electric tailgate

And thats about it. No Matrix Led, HUD or anything fancy....

[Dasquade]

Here my car also doesn't lock automaticly...
S6C7 avant 2013.
I was not able to alter the long coding byte 15 bite 0 but i dought this is auto lock feature.
In a way i'm interested to know where the auto lock feature is, at least that is if we could only auto lock if keys aren't in the car!

[Gunmeister]

Well I'm glad you guys aren't experiencing this auto lock thing. Anyone with a c7.5 have this issue?

[Audisthesia]

AFAIK standard VAG behavior for auto locking is as follows..

If you unlock the vehicle but do not open any doors, it will relock after a time period. I can confirm this behavior on 2012 Passat, 2017 Passat, 2018 S6, and 2016 A6.

It behaves in this manner as a safety feature. In case you unknowingly unlock the vehicle with the fob (like you sat on it in your pocket) but never open the door (because you sat on it and weren't getting into the vehicle), it auto relock.

[christianb5s4]

^ Can confirm the unlock but not opening doors triggers it to lock again. However, if a door was opened or I leave the car unlocked after driving, it does not lock itself until I lock it. This is a C7.5.

[TechSavvy]

I've actually wondered this same thing. If I drive my car, park it and walk away, I would think it would auto-lock after some set increment of time (was 30sec/adjustable on my Jeep I believe?).

Correct.

Yeah, would be nice if VW/Audi did that.

I can confirm if I open a door or leave the car unlocked it will lock itself within minutes. It didn't happen until this change. Even if I leave the key in the car.

First change made the buzzing noise mute when ignition is on.

Second change made buzzing noise mute when driver door is open car is on and in park

I dunno what would be different that mine does this.

Ok rookie question. Just unpacked my Ross Tech V2. I had my Check Engine light pop on yesterday and was hoping I could see what the issue was and potentially clear the code. Is this possible? I was able to do this easily with my Cobb Tuner on my BMW. Also do I need to purchase software from Ross Tech on top of the cable? Thanks and sorry for dumb questions

The software is a free download.

First run a full scan and save the results to file. Trust me. DO THIS FIRST. That way you have all of your original codings.

The full scan will also show you all the faults.

Last night when I got in my car the seat moved like I had adjusted it but I didn't. Now it doesn't auto lock anymore. So maybe my car was glitching out but worked itself out lol.

When I bought my cable from Rosstech they had options to buy the software with the cord mine was for 3 vins. You should look at see what you purchased. But yes you can check engine codes with it.

[Nosferatu]

Stupid question, when I take the car in for yearly service (I have Audi Care from previous owner) will anything they update to ECU during their service alter or delete the adaptations that were set via VCDS/OBDEleven?

[Four rings fan]

I've had three Audi's and the dealer has never reset or mentioned anything about my VCDS/OBD11 mods. All my cars were there either for general maintenance, TSB fixes and minor warranty work (A4 trunk would open in heavy rain, S6 fuel door actuator failed and a trans software update to my A5). Your safe unless your a complete dick to the service dept.

Only if you modded the ECU. Which unless you have a tune, pretty sure that's a no. But, if you're super paranoid, run a full vcds scan and save to file before taking in, then run another full scan when it comes back and comapre.

Okay thanks. Yeah I'm on stock ECU. Just curious because I bought the car in August, did the yearly maintenance, did all the VCDS/OBDEleven stuff once I got the car back, and it's coming up soon for it's yearly maintenance again and just trying to plan ahead.

my only add to this is that all the VCDS customization that Audisthesia performed on my car lasted the APR stage 2 ECU tune and their TCU tune.

Yeah, each mod is in specific modules. any ECU tune or updates shouldn't affect any mods folks do as we aren't doing anything in the ECU.

Anybody know how to code to achieve ESC OFF on a 2018 S6???

Not sure if you could code it out, but if you really want it out...
You could make a small T harnass that plugs into the ESP button. It contains 6 wires, the purple/brown wire you need to make a split wire and if you short feed that with +12V it will trigger the esp button and disable esp. Basicly you could install an "one pulse relais" (if that exists) on the ignintion fuse so it triggers the esp button every time you start the car. It would still allow you to manually turn esp on in that way.
Don't know why you would want to do this as ESP is a safety feature and in most case i'm glad i have it.

Hmmm, interesting. When I press the button it only goes into 'Sport' mode. Holding it for 5+ seconds does not turn it off like the pre-2015 C7 S6's....

Will this method simply put it in 'Sport'? Or turn it off completely?
