Hi. My name is Tony and I am new to VCDS and recently bought a Hex-Net mobile. I want to learn and fully utilize it to it's full potential. I have a 2011 Audi A4. My primary intention is to reset "service due" on my dashboard every 10K miles. I recently also bought an Apple Mac Air as my primary and only computer at home.

Hi Tony,
Per our email conversation, B8 and newer Audi models require modifications to several Adaptation channels in a specific order. The semi-automated [SRI Reset] function simplifies this process using VCDS (meaning the conventional, PC based software) because the end user selects an operation from the drop-down menu followed by clicking [Perform SRI]. This is demonstrated in the :33 to 1:20 min markers in the video at the bottom of that [SRI Reset] page.
If you have a Windows based PC that you can borrow, simply install the latest Beta and give that a shot, perhaps with the supplied USB cable if you do not want to set the loaner PC up on your home network.
If you do not have a PC we can help you reset the SRI manually but we would want to review the VCDS-Mobile Auto-Scan which is explained in the video located in post #4 here. You will need to get the HEX-NET itself configured first so please feel free to update and post those questions in the ongoing thread . After you have the HEX-NET configured with the Cloud Account setup please paste the contents from the Auto-Scan to a new forum thread in the Car Repair Support sub-forum so I can build a list of SRI Adaptation channels that apply to this vehicle.

That demonstration however was from a relatively simple NAR market Audi A8 (4E) Instrument cluster that only required changing Adaptation Channel 002 from a stored value of 1 = service active -to- the new value of 0 = service reset rather than the complex strategy used by the cluster in this vehicle.
