I've tried searching but can't find any specifics about using VCDS to alter specific fields in the instrument cluster that are used for Service alerts.
Specifically, I'd like to alter the "IDE03349-FIX: Max. distance until next mileage-related inspection" field as it seems to be set incorrectly in my UK 2016 A8
The service manual indicates that Inspection Service Interval is "24 months or 30,000km" but my cluster has the field set to 15,900km causing premature mileage alerts. See VCDS SRI output below:
Note that this is a standard log from my A8 with local additions [* to mark fixed fields & [xxxx mi] fields converted from km to make more sense to those of us in the UK]
You can see from the last two lines [3351 & 3352] that I've done 7442 miles in 306 days since my last inspection but the MMI Service screen is indicating next Inspection in 2358 miles [early] or 424 days [correct] based on the values in 3349 & 3350!
So I'd like to correct the 3349 line to 30,000. Any ideas please?
Thanks - Julian
