Hello Everybody,
Just got the Westfalia Tow hitch (tow bar), and the factory electrics kit for my 2012 A4 Avant (B8/8K). I have already completed the "nut and bolt" install of the kit. My vehicle is not pre-wired, so I still have to add the pigtail that came with wiring kit (factory fuse location wiring, and tapping into the CAN data wires). First I would like to say for anyone considering adding a hitch to your Audi, spend the extra money and get this kit, it is top notch and high quality. If you are in North America, avoid Eurohitches.com at all cost and find another way to get it (ultra bad, horrible experience).
Now that that is out of the way, I am just a small step beyond a newbie with the Ross-Tech VCDS. And I have researched everywhere looking for anything information for this retrofit on this particular model (may be the same as the 8E?). I cannot find any specific information on what would need to be coded? Or if I can do that with the Ross-Tech or if it is necessary to have the dealer do the coding?
I appreciate any guidance or information that could be had from the wealth of information that the members here have (you guys have helped me a bunch already).
Cheers!
Patrick
