2024 Audi S5 - Lane Assist and Audible Speed Warning

[Pitty113]

Hi All, is VCDS able to change the default settings for Lane Assist and Audible speed warnings, to remember the last setting when starting the car.

Every single time I start the car I have to switch both off manually, and it's more of a distraction than a safety feature.

Wanting to buy VCDS but this is the main things I would want it for :-)

Any advice greatly appreciated, Thankyou

Hi. Hard to say. 2024 models have new challenges in that VW/Audi have locked down many adjustments with a new security protocol which we have been working to gain access. I suspect, if we had information from your car, we would learn that this security protocol would need to be present to make a change.

Based on my belief, if this is your only reason to buy VCDS, it might be best that you wait a bit while we continue our efforts to work this.

No, we cannot give an idea of when we will have such. Know we have spent a large amount of money and a lot of time and effort to gain said access. We are at the mercy of VAG.

Perhaps it would be best to find someone local to you with a genuine VCDS system to scan your car, see if any of the required tweaks are possible.

Thanks for your quick replies Bruce & Viking.
Understood that its hard to say if what I want to do is possible or locked down by VAG, I suspect the audible speed limit warning could well be as its legislation that forces them to put this on the car in the first place.
Frustrating thing is that its very distracting to have to switch these off every time I drive the car, especially as the settings typically take a minute or two to load up before driving away.
I guess if anyone could confirm that they have managed to sort at least one of these two things, it would be worth buying VCDS.

Assuming this will be the same for a 2024 Q7? I have VCDS, would any information from my car be helpful? Happy to do a scan if its of any use.

S5 and Q7 are quite different vehicles with different electronic systems, so that's not a good assumption.

So any news on the Q7? the lane assist and speed warning systems? they drive me nuts.

You need to post an Auto-Scan (in the Tweaks forum as you're already Verified), but if it's a 2024 MY then there's a chance the modules could be SFD "locked".

That’s cool, I’m 99.995% I am SFD locked. Just wondering if there is a way to stop the alarm for good going forward.

Thanks

I guess no-one has been successful doing this yet then
It's genuinely the worst thing ever about my S5, winds me up literally every time I start my car

If you post an Auto-Scan there's a chance someone might know, until then we have only our internet crystal balls (and they're pretty rubbish!).

 

[Pitty113]

Im afraid I dont have a VCDS yet, fixing these defaults would be my reason to buy one

Seems we might have an impasse, unless you can find someone locally who can do a VCDS scan for you?

 

[Pitty113]

I was really hoping someone else would have managed to do it, if someone has, I would buy a VCDS in an instant. But its a big gamble to buy it otherwise

 

[PetrolDave]

But its a big gamble to buy it otherwise

$200 gets a 3 VIN HEX-V2, think how many diagnostic sessions at a dealer that would pay for - not really a big gamble for someone with a 2024 S5?

I purchased VCDS over 10 years ago and so far it's paid itself many many times over, not just on my cars but those of family, friends and colleagues.

 

[Pitty113]

Fair comment PetrolDave, but I have a generic diagnostic tablet that runs most of the other stuff for me, but I can't change default settings like this with it unfortunately.

This issue must be driving someone else round the bend too? Can't just be me lol

If the vehicle is still under warranty, perhaps the dealer could tweak some of those adjustments for you. Did ask them?

 

[Pitty113]

I havent asked to be honest, assuming that because its European legislation that seems to have made it mandatory to have the audible speed warning on cars since 2024, that they wouldnt entertain it?
Its not like I want it disabled, just default the sound to be off, seeing as I can turn it off myself every trip anyway. The visual warning is still on the dash, thats fine by me.
Has anyone else tried asking?
