Hi guys, new user here and just purchased my Hex-Net to carry out a coding change on the ABS module of my 2015 Audi RS5.
I have just made the swap from cast iron brakes to the carbon ceramic version which requires you to tell the ABS unit the ceramics have been installed. I'm not sure what coding to put in the ABS unit, I was reliably informed to swap the first two digits of the code from '2C' to '30' I tried this but it instantly threw up a coding error so I switched back to the original code.

Any help would be much appreciated, the Audi tech told me they just tick a box on their computer to tell the car ceramics are installed but he wasn't willing to do this as he hadn't installed them.

Please post an Auto-Scan so people can see exactly what ABS module you have an how it's configured.

Apologies, here's a copy of the scan ABS unit

Is there any other info you require?

Many thanks

OK, looks like that coding for that module is not fully documented at this time, particularly with respect to the type of rotors. :(

Hmmm, oh well. It looks like there isn't much documented for this car.

If you find an Autoscan of same model and same engine as yours, with carbon brakes, I think we should be able to find coding for ABS.
But there are not many Autoscan available.
We don't even know the engine, please make an complete text Autoscan with VCDS Windows (classic).

My plan is to try and get Audi to tell the car it has the ceramics fitted, I will then scan the car again and publish the before and after scans, it may help future users doing this conversion.

I will publish a full scan in the meantime.
