So there was older thread here in forum for 2013 car, I would like to have Efficiency mode on my 2023 S5 petrol, from US it doesn't have one, can I still unlock it like that? :

Well you must enter at

  1. Select Control Module Option
  2. Select 09- Cent Elect.
  3. Click on Security Access. use the recommend security access key.
  4. Adaptation
  5. Click Drive Select Standard Setting Key (I use the Key 4)
  6. you must go to Audi Drive Select screen on MMI
  7. You should have the 66 channel, read the value
  8. set a new value but here is the thing each mode is a value. its a byte long so the binary format is used (8 bit) each bit have a value right to left. the following values are in Decimal format
    • Bit 1 =Individual = Decimal Value 1 = Binary Value 00000001
    • Bit 2 = Comfort = Decimal Value 2 = Binary Value 00000010
    • Bit 3 = Auto = Decimal Value 4 = Binary Value 00000100
    • Bit 4 = Dynamic = Decimal Value 8 = Binary Value 00001000
    • Bit 5 = Offroad = Decimal Value 16 (00010000) but only if the bit 7 is active (1 value) if Bit 7 is off the value will be Race is taken , you can't have both. (Offroad and Race active)
    • Bit 6 = Efficency = Decimal Value 31 = Binary Value 00100000
    • Bit 7 = Switch Offroad/ Race mode when is active the Bit 5 = Decimal Value 64 = Binary Value 01000000
    • Bit 8 = ? Seems not to be active.
  9. Test Value
  10. Save and exit

Code:
Removed.  Data from a clone/pirate copy of VCDS is not acceptable in Ross-Tech's forum.

Seems you cropped off the Header (top of the page) with date, data, and VIN. Please post that header information.
