Was going to ask if headlights turning off with turn signal is still a thing on B9. Damn. Looks like I'll get a new cable after all...

Thanks for sharing. Hoping for that turn signal code too.

[-LoneStar-]

Thanks for posting this info. I was waiting for someone to come up with an OBDEleven thread. I used mine on my old S3 and made some tweaks. We were never able to get the gear selection as it was stored in a module (TCU?) that was unavailable. Excited to try that one out. Curious to see what else we can come up with.

[yumsauce]

I did the above mod showing gear in D/S and changed to a double beep when locking the car a few months ago. OBDeleven works well. Tonight I may fiddle some more with it.

[-LoneStar-]

I did the gear showing in the D. I also wanted to disable the Auto Start/Stop but when I did it showed a message that said something like "Auto Start/Stop malfunction see dealer for service" I don't know if that message would display each time or just the one time I change it so I changed it back to how it was. It was late so I'll try it again tonight and see how it works out.

Yes I had the same issue with the start/stop that’s why I didn’t originally post it. I haven’t had time to test it and see if it comes on every time.

So I tried it again last night and the car would not save the changes. I went for a drive to get gas and the car turned off as usual when stopped. The message did not appear as before when I first started it up so I thought I was in the clear.

When I got home I checked and found that the change I did with the OBDEleven had reverted back to "Active" I tried serval times to change it to "Deactivate" in the Engine Module but it refused to save it. Each time I would turn the ignition accessory off and open the door and close it, then turn on and connect again it would always revert back to "Active"

Frustrated I started poking around online and came across some Q7 forums where a member suggested this:

Module: 08/Air Conditioning
Adaptaion
A/C comfort param for start/stop function
Old Value: 5
New Value: 0

I can confirm that this does in fact work. The only thing about this change is that according to the Q7 member is that if the HVAC is off the car will activate the start/stop as before. I haven't had a chance to try this since its my wife's car, but even so I don't ever plan to turn the HVAC off anyway.


The only other thing that bugs me is that when you use the park assist button, the camera view reverts back to the graphic view. It's odd because it seems like when I change it sometimes it will hold the camera view if the car is only turned off for a short time but seems to revert back to the graphic by the next day. I'm wondering if there is a setting that can be changed by the OBDEleven so this is no longer the case.

Yeah I’ve seen the HVAC method but it’s not reliable especially for people that routinely have the HVAC off like myself. I don’t mind turning it off every time I get in the car. As far as the park assist, I like the way the camera pops up but feel free to see if there’s anything you can do to change it.

If I find another method to the start stop I'll report back. I also saw how some people say depending on the brake pressure you can keep the motor on. So if come to a stop and have light pressure on the brake but enough to hold you, the motor should stay on. When you apply heavy pressure then the motor with turn off. Since its my wife's daily driver I haven't played around with this technique yet.

I should have been more clear with the park assist. I have the Prestige model which gives you the 360 degree camera view option while using the park assist. What the car does is that the park assist works likes its supposed to whether your in D or R, but the 360 camera will revert back to just a graphic image with proximity sensors rather then using the actual real time image with sensors. I have to use the MMI wheel to toggle over to the camera option. Then it wont save the camera and goes back to the graphic image.

Yes I also have the prestige and I get what you’re saying. Idk I guess I prefer the graphic with the proximity sensors rather than the 360 camera. It’s kind of off-putting and throws off my distance judgements but again that’s just me.

[JohnPhotography]

Thanks for posting all of these codes.

Has anyone found the code for making the LED DRL's brighter?

[S3 lover]

I’ve been trying to figure that one out myself. Hopefully in the coming week or two I’ll look into it again and see if I can find it.

[JohnPhotography]

Any luck?

[S3 lover]

Any luck?

Unfortunately I’ve been having some issues with my car and the dealer it’s been at and haven’t had time. It was at the dealer for two weeks for a rattle, then once they fixed it and I brought it home, I notice they reinstalled the trim incorrectly that is causing the speakers to shake with high bass. Taking it back today. Hopefully this headache will be behind me soon and I can discover more codes for you guys I apologize for the delay.

[S3 lover]

Nice! My buddy with a S7 was able to make his DRL's brighter, OMG! At 100%, it was so bright...he actually had to bring it down to 80%.

[S3 lover]

Well if you can ask him how he did it, I’m sure I can use it as a starting point to see how to do ours.

They used a VAG.

[RickNY]

Hi everyone. Does anyone know if there is any coding to disable the headlights while having the “Entry/Exit lighting” feature turned on? I noticed turning the feature off also turns off the lighting around the door handles..

Thanks
Rick

So to be clear you just want the DRLs on with the coming home feature?

[RickNY]

Well, the entry/exit assist turns on (I think) the DRLs and some other exterior lights around the door handles.. What I’m interested in is either turning off the DRLs or using a lower setting.. Essentially, front of my car where I park in my driveway points directly in neighbor’s bedroom window, and I’d like to avoid that while still getting some exterior lighting
Thanks

I’ll look into it Rick but I make no promises. I have to go into the Coding and try and locate the feature and they’re not always labeled so obviously. I’ll do my best! :)

[lexsynergy]

when you say you DRL with turn signal.. does this get rid of the wink?

[RickNY]

Thanks.. I'll look as well when I have some time.. So, its actually the headlights that come on with the entry/exit assist.. It would be great if I could change it to the DRLs

[S3 lover]

when you say you DRL with turn signal.. does this get rid of the wink?

Yes this gets rid of wink. Unfortunately right now with the code, the DRL is dimmed with the turn signal. I’m working on keeping it at full brightness.

[Jeg_B9]

Any of you guys enable Video in Motion with OBDEleven on their B9?

[lexsynergy]

if you ever get time you should make a video of the blinker.. i'm curious to see what it looks like

[S3 lover]

I shall do my best to take one tomorrow!

[S3 lover]

I believe there’s a shortcut app way to do this but as far as manually Coding I’m not sure.

[S4_Pedro]

Any coding, for being able to lock the doors with the keys in your pocket while you let the car warm up and walking away ? Thank you!

I couldn’t figure out how to post a video but here are two photos of when it’s blinking and in between blinks. You can see how the DRL is dimmer.

I was wondering if it's possible to get different color LED's with the coding. I have a premium plus car which doesn't have the lighting plus package. But, I noticed when I open car or lock it there Leds on the doors are red but after that I only have white. If it can be red maybe it's possible to get other colors through coding?

I have a Prestige model that already has the different colors. I can maybe poke around and see if there’s anything I can do. A change that popular I’m sure OBDEleven would’ve released an app for it already charging like 100+ credits.

[mpower3o2]

Just purchased an android tablet with OBDELEVEN.

I’ll start to dig into this stuff as well.

Is there a way to boost the garage door opener range? I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee that can open the garage from the ally but our S4 has to get really up close to the door. There were a few fluke times I had to get out and use the key pad as it refused to open.

I've found that if you clear out and re-do the opener pairing (with it right in front of the mirror glass), that improves it. Another thing I've noticed is that it works best with a quick press and release (not a press and hold) of the button in the car. My BMW requires you to hold it for several seconds, the Audi a quick press/release.

It still isn't awesome for range though. I can only get a couple houses away for range (if that).

I was wondering about that. I have the full colors, but thinking they probably have the same RGB LED strips in all vehicles, and then control it on the car side. It's possible that you don't have a module that allows variable control off all 3 colors though. In your case, you just need to turn on red, or turn on all 3 at once.
