D4 Audi A8 VCDS Codes

[Jack88]

I posted this list over at a different forum, but I thought some people here might appreciate it as well. I tested some of the ones intended for other models, as well as playing with the VCDS to check for anything not included and added them to the list. Some options available for other models still show up in the computer, but don't appear to have any effect (like the lap timer.) Here's what I've found so far, I have tested the functionality of most of these.

I have some fiddling with VCDS to do, I'm sure that there's more to find. I will provide updates when I find anything new.

Note: Thanks to kczach at Audiworld for the starting point

Hello
Which model is your car? Is it pre facelift and you have done facelift conversion??
Or just you changed the headlights to the higher full led option?
I have similar problem
My Car is 2011 d4 and I have done full facelift conversion
None matrix headlights and I need the codes to get rid of the DTC on dash

Jack88 hasn't visited this site for over 2 years and his post in this thread is over 5 years old, so you may not get a reply from him.

I have A8 D4 2011 with xenon headlamps and the fog lamps are integrated with the main headlights (equipped with adaptive cruise control). I am trying to get the fog lamps to turn on as cornering lamp but for some reason this coding does not work:
________________________________________
Enable fog lamp to come on for the same side as that turn signal
[09 – Cent. Elect.] [Coding - 07] -> Long Coding Helper -> Byte 4
Bit 0 - Check the box or change :Bit 0 set to 1

Any idea how to get the cornering lamps working?

Rather than start a new thread I thought I'd post here to keep everything A8 D4 related in the same place.

I modded the massage intensity some years ago from;

Level 1: 56->58%
Level 2: 61->68%
Level 3: 68->78%
Level 4: 75->88%
Level 5: 82-98%

Since then I have been meaning to alter the temperature levels but I looked today and don't see anything temperature related at Multicont addresses 88 Front DS, 89 Front PS, 8A Rear DS or 8D Rear PS which was where I adjusted the massage intensity from.

I also looked under 08 HVAC and couldn't find it there either.

Assuming the temperatures for Levels 1, 2 & 3 can be adjusted does anybody know where they might be hidden please?

When set to 3 it is almost too hot but luckily the stepdown from 3->2 kicks in after 10 minutes but then I can barely feel the heat when set to Level 2 and have to keep toggling back to 3 which is annoying!

What I would like to do is reduce the heat on Level 3 a little but increase the temperature on Level 2 and possibly Level 1 also if only I knew where to look.

I increased the temperature of the steering wheel at address 16 from 28-30c way back when I adjusted the massage intensity so I am guessing the seat temperatures can be adjusted also.

Any ideas please?

Thanks & kind regards,

Any ideas please?

Assuming you mean the car you posted an Auto-Scan of here, I don't see a tweak for that either.

[GlynH]

Yup...it's the same car Uwe.

Seems odd that I can alter stepdown timers for seat heating (along with things like pressures in various seat bolsters) and even steering wheel temperature but not seat temperature.

Ah well I'll have to put up with sunburn on level 3 and wondering whether the heat is working at all on level 2 I suppose.

Thanks for taking the time to take a look & reply Uwe.

Kind regards,
-=Glyn=-

Got the cornering lamps working after coding 4 times....
