C7 A6/S6 VAG-COM mods

Okay guys, there has been a lot of requests lately for a VAG-COM DIY. The purpose of this DIY is to walk you through the steps to do several VAG modifications.

So far nosotros have the following:

Disable bister corner lights
Disable NAV & Phone alarm letters while entering data at speed
Disable Seatbelt Chime
Enable Adaptive restriction lights
Enable Automatic Gear pick shown in DIS
Enable Double Disarm Beep
Enable Hidden menu in MMI

Enable power torso to close from cardinal fox
Disable start/stop

Equipment Required:

Laptop with Vag-Com software
Vag-Com Cablevision

Many people get very intimidated and uneasy about messing effectually with the car settings on the computer. The near important thing to know is that everything you do in this DIY Can Be UNDONE. There is no reason to get nervous, you will not do whatsoever damage to your machine. Simply follow the instructions and you lot volition be fine.

I am doing all of this via Ross-Tech Vag-Com with USA manufacturing plant settings. If you are outside the USA the stored values might vary. Also, other conventional vag-com units can be purchased to exercise these modifications. The process is probably somewhat the same.

Pace ane: Hooking up the Vag-Com

Get-go stride is to plug in your Vag-Com to the OBD-2 port. It is the purple connector located right behind the hood latch under the steering bike. Once you accept plugged it in, connect it to your laptop device.

Make sure you are running the most contempo version of Ross-Tech's software. Y'all volition nigh probable be prompted if you are non.

***HAVE YOUR Key IN THE IGNITION TURNED ON Accompaniment MODE (hit the beginning push button in one case). VCDS Volition Not WORK IF THS IS NOT Done***

Step 2: Let the fun begin!

Start VCDS

First thing you want to practice is to make sure the VAG-COM is properly connected to your machine. Click OPTIONS in the bottom correct corner.

You lot will now be taken to the Plan Options carte. Under Port and Protocol Options select TEST as shown beneath.

Afterward yous hitting examination the program will test the connection between the Vag-Com and the cars reckoner. After a few seconds you lot volition get a screen shown below. Make sure the Status reads Fix.

Hit Salve and return to the make screen.

To admission the hidden bill of fare, agree downwards Car and Menu together for 5 seconds

To reset the MMI 3G+, printing Bill of fare, Big Knob, and Pinnacle Right Soft Button simultaneously

Apply this hidden bill of fare at your ain adventure.
Caution: Keep away from the "Bootloader"

Okay then this is a compilation from other forums trying to place everything together and then that when people attempt to practise vag com mods to your machine you lot volition experience more than at ease and know the ones that work.

*Suggestion: Print this and bank check off the mods you've activated and store it with your owner'due south transmission - Will come handy when you demand to re-practise the coding afterwards an ECU flash.

Hither'south the list I've compiled then far:

Disable bister corner lights

Considering I've seen multiple people request almost / having problem with remote window up and downward, here the expanded details to go this to work:

Operating Windows and Sunroof with Remote
This will permit enables remote closing of the windows and sunroof past property the Lock push button on the remote command. In add-on, it adds an menu detail in the MMI to optionally allow opening the forepart windows/rear windows/sunroof by holding the Unlock push on the remote.

[46 - Cent. Conv.] -> [Coding - 07] -> [Long Coding Helper] -> Byte 2-> Bit 2
Check "Comfort Performance: Remote Command active" box.
Salvage

Windows and Sunroof will now close with long button press of Lock button on remote.

To Open Front Windows and/or Rear Windows and/or Sunroof with long press of Unlock button on remote:

Reboot MMI to brand sure the card item appears (press Menu, Big Knob, and Tiptop Right Soft Push simultaneously)
Apply the New MMI Bill of fare to Change MMI Settings to let remote downwards
MMI: [Menu]->[Car]->[Auto Systems]->[Vehicle Settings]->[Key Locking]->[Long press to open up windows] -> Set Forepart Windows, Rear Windows, Roof to �On�

New Mods non listed in this thread:

A7/S7/RS7 Only: Close the trunk (a.k.a. kick) remotely using the key fob and/or interior trunk switch (and retain the opening characteristic)
Become to Module 46 (cent convenience), coding, long coding helper
byte 2, bit 2 "Comfort operation: Remote control active" should exist checked, so no need to modify it, simply ostend that it'south set.
No Change, Original Coding: Fleck two checked

So got to module 6D (Trunk Electrics), security access and enter security code "12345". Then however in Module 6D, click Adaptation, channel
and there are 8 options for "Activation using rear lid. . .". Change the two "number four" settings to active.
Original Coding:

(1)-Activation using rear lid opening button in remote key - Impact function for opening: not active
(two)-Activation using rear lid opening button in remote cardinal - Tap function for opening: agile
(3)-Activation using rear lid opening button in remote key - Touch function for closing: active
(4)-Activation using rear lid opening button in remote key - Tap function for closing: not active
(1)-Activation using rear lid remote unlocking switch - Affect function for opening: non active
(ii)-Activation using rear lid remote unlocking switch - Tap function for opening: active
(3)-Activation using rear lid remote unlocking switch - Affect part for endmost: active
(4)-Activation using rear lid remote unlocking switch - Tap part for endmost: non active

New Coding:

(1)-Activation using rear hat opening button in remote cardinal - Touch function for opening: non active
(2)-Activation using rear hat opening button in remote key - Tap function for opening: agile
(three)-Activation using rear chapeau opening button in remote key - Touch function for closing: active
(4)-Activation using rear chapeau opening button in remote key - Tap part for closing: active
(1)-Activation using rear lid remote unlocking switch - Bear on function for opening: non active
(2)-Activation using rear lid remote unlocking switch - Tap role for opening: agile
(3)-Activation using rear lid remote unlocking switch - Touch role for closing: active
(4)-Activation using rear lid remote unlocking switch - Tap function for closing: agile

Changing the get-go "number 4" allows closing of the trunk hat with a quick press of the body button on the remote command.
Changing the second "number 4" allows closing of the truck lid with a quick pull of the trunk switch (in the driver's side door)
The trunk is still opened as before. Information technology volition beep when remote closing.

Change the time before the heated seats auto-change from level 3 to level 2
When the heated seat is set to full (level 3) it will only stay on full power (level iii) for x minutes earlier automatically dropping to level 2. To increment (or decrease) the amount of time this takes, get to
Module 08 (HVAC) -> Adaptation -> drop in down box select the option 'time until heated seat stage withdrawal from iii-two'.
Enter a new value. Save.
The default is x, which is x minutes. I gear up it to 15 minutes. Change it to zero to prevent it from auto-switching from level 3 to level 2.
In that location is also an option for machine-changing from Level ii to Level 1. This is disabled by default (prepare to cipher.) If you want to enable this, enter a value in minutes.

Hope this helps others!

Again, I accept no credit for this data, most of the to a higher place is bachelor on these forums and specialty websites as well as Ross-Tech'south support pages. I just wanted to group all the info of the pertinant VCDS mods to our s6/s7.

Any actress ones I will gladly add together

Huge thanks to TunTap below is data he compiled
how to lower you lot auto 17mm
I finally accomplished lowering the S6 with VCDS. Some said it can't exist done, simply it nearly definitely worked for me. It should be entirely reversible in case y'all decide to revert the settings. All research was washed through Google and playing effectually with software settings, none of this information was provided by Audi or Audi dealers. This method is an alternative to Lowering Links (which are bang-up if you don't have the electronic tools/would rather become the mechanical route), or H&R lowering module (which is also nifty, and allows for on-the fly adjustments vs. having to mess with car systems).

I figured that since all the tools and information required to practise this have already been made public on the cyberspace, information technology is just thing of fourth dimension until someone posts a step-by-footstep guide, and so hither information technology is.

DISCLAIMER: I am non responsible for anything that these changes may cause, or if your car breaks, or if dealership finds out and denies your warranty if something goes wrong... Try this at your own run a risk.

0) Set your car to "Motorcar" mode (not dynamic, comfort, etc.). Make sure machine is on level basis. Close doors. If any doors are opened during the process, information technology volition be interrupted. Make sure your car is NOT in a towing or tire changing mode.
1) Load upwardly VCDS, go to Module 34 - Level Control
2) Go to "10 - Accommodation", take annotation of four values titled as "Body height forepart left wheel house edge" - mine were set to around 384 from factory.
iii) Take the values you noted above, and ADD your desired drop in millimeters (mm) to each value, write it downwards... And then if your left front wheel was 384.5, your new value will be 401.five. Repeat for the other wheels. It is non critical to be 100% precise here, rounding the values is fine. Annotation that maximum Audi-approved drib is 17mm from what I've gathered. Yous can become lower, only if y'all get lower, you're also affecting other systems, such as cameras, adaptive cruise, etc., so be careful.

Technically, if you want this procedure to be washed properly, instead of taking existing values, you lot will measure all 4 wheels after completion of the step 7, so add your drop value if desired. Suspension acme values are measured from the middle of the wheel to the edge of the fender.

iv) Become to Security Access, enter code provided on the following website, nether VCDS section, item #3 (I'm non posting this direct to avert spreading sensitive data, although it's been posted on other forums in by)

http://world wide web.stemei.de/pages/coding/au...ng-des-aas.php
5) You should become a message stating that security code has been accepted - if you don't, something failed, stop doing what y'all're doing
6) Go to 04 - Basic Settings

*** Of import: Whatever you practise, Practice Not select "Reset All Adaptations" - this is non undoable, and will crave a visit to the dealer. ***

7) Select "Activate Level Control", hit "Get", wait for it to complete (should only accept a 2d, until information technology says "non running").
8) Select "Delete Calibration For Level Control", hit "Become", wait for it to complete, your automobile volition throw a fault code and y'all will see an error message stating Air Break Malfunction - this is normal.
vii) Select "Start Up to Reference Level", hit "Get". This footstep will have about a minute, and your motorcar will go upwards/down during the process (you'll hear hissing noises). Look for it to complete, until it says "not running".
ix) Select "Become Back", get to "ten - Adaptation" on the previous screen.
10) Adjacent you will need to enter new adaptation values for all 4 wheels. Select "Torso meridian front left wheel firm edge", then enter new accommodation value, and hitting "Do it", then repeat for the other 3 wheels. I did it in the order the card was bundled (FL, RL, FR, RR) - not sure if the order matters, but just in instance. Each time you lot enter a value, you should get a bulletin stating that it has been accepted.
11) After you're done entering accommodation for all iv wheels, select "Go Back", and return to "04 - Basic Settings" again.
12) In basic settings, select "Calibrate Level Control" and striking go, it will take a few seconds. Wait for information technology to say "not running". If you become an error during this stride, you either missed a step, or something went horribly incorrect.
13) Select "Activate Level Control", striking "Go"
14) You're done, now become to "02 - Fault Codes" and Reset codes.

If this did or didn't work - please share your experience with the rest of united states here
