Good morning, I am a first time user of this system and need a little direction in regards to coding out the secondary air system on an Audi A6 3.0T. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.

Isn't the SAI an emission device?
It is, and I expect the regulatory authorities would come down on VW/Audi like a ton of bricks if it were possible to "code out" that system.

Well, my humble CFWA engine does have an LCode box for both the start/stop system and a particulate filter installed.

Coding any of those out will result in error 31, coding out of range...

OP:

Why would you not want the CAT and OXS to lite off the exothermic reaction sooner & to get Lambda in A/F action clarity?

Yep. The bits are defined for your ECU (depending on the emissions requirement of different markets), but the software on your ECU will not allow them to be changed.
