I'll have to go look up the coding (I'll edit the post over the weekend), but here's what I have working (via VCDS ONLY):

Saved step for ACC (closest)

Enabled menu for above

Early Lane Assist intervention moment



Non-VCDS planned via VAG-CAN-PRO - Enable Traffic Jam Assist (working on it...)...

My understanding is that the exhaust flaps aren't controlled by VCDS.

[dazed1]

In! Have an OBD11. need more info

[Potatohead_RS3]

Open windows with fob is actually an option in the MMI. Close them just hold your finger on the lock button (thanks to another member who told me that last week).

Really wish there was a tweak to leave the car in dynamic without having to press it again.

mine stays in dynamic...unless you are talking about the sound then you just have to pull down the gear selector to s and it will open the exhaust flap.

Rpms don’t stay at 1.1k and flaps are closed. If i press dynamic after i turn on the car then transmission goes into sport, rpms climb to 1.1k and valves open.

put car in drive, pull back to "s." RPMs go to 1.1k and flap opens.

But if i want a tweak that keeps it in there
all the time. Car is not really in dynamic if i have to do that.

It says it’s in dynamic, but it lies. If you restart the car it will claim you are in the mode you last left it in, but it lies. To prove this, setup your individual mode to match dynamic. Run the car in dynamic, turn it off, restart the car, wait a few seconds, toggle the mode select switch to select individual, and listen for the exhaust note change.

Yes, this. But want it full open, full time. My R had a vcds setting that I could enter in a module, and turn it on or off.

Does this car have a soundaktor? I think I hear a fake and exaggerrated peformance sound (induced by 2 gens of R's having it?) of a woohhhh sound at woot over the turbo sound...???

trust me, i understand. I made a post about looking for an option for default drive select and have looked in many places. this was the work around for the time being, rather than cycling through drive select.

vagcom states soundaktor is not installed.

Sweet, pure performance note then :D

Thank you! Going to test some features. [Up]

[comingabriel]

Byte 9 has no options for me, when trying flappers open method :(

[javbomb]

VCDS cannot open flaps on the RS3 unfortunately, this is pretty well known now.

Yep.

Not an option.

Has anyone stopped the seat belt chime?

[comingabriel]

Google translate seat, belt and search the module for what is available, using german strings...

[el_zorro]

[Incognito]

Any way to enable the start/stop thing that A3's have? I know the RS3 doesn't have the button on the dash.

2018 RS3, North America.

[comingabriel]

I saw in adaptions some start/stop options.

[PowerStroke]

is there an easy way to have just the ‘wink’ part of the blinker on US models?

[comingabriel]

UP, anyone have coding or adaptions to list?

[jl87]

Looking through VCDS- could someone who's had their magride "recalibrated" please go in and check their current values? This procedure is done through ODIS apparently, just curious if these values change during the recalibration.

[speeddemon69]

Yes they change, there is another thread on it.

I stopped seatbelt chime

Got it to also remover air circulation setting
Can’t seem to get fan speed on in auto

Comfort close with fob

Light acknowledgement of comfort
Close

Comfort open sunroof in stead of tilt

And a few others as I remover or if I go through my coding I will post more

My belt no longer chimes as of last night with friends obd11. :)
Wink feature failed, VIM failed, and another feature failed (all lights on allowed, even highs)

I was looking into this a couple of weeks ago and the values do change. I compared mine with another RS3 which had the mag ride recalibrated. Im pretty sure the way they measure is from the center of the wheel to the edge of the arch. Don’t quote me on that I’m not an Audi tech

What's the process to kill the seatbelt chime?

Also, have we found a way to move the car with the door cracked without having the e-brake activate?

Yea seat belt can be turned off it is in dash board pretty sure....

The brake once the door is open just push it while foot on brake, it disengages and then it does not come back on...

Pesh, look up one post.

Plus, I think he wants to disable the function completely (same here), so it doesn't kick on when the door is opened, than pressing the button every time.

[Hockenheim]

Is there a full 8V FL list anywhere?

[TwistRate]

I'd love to have that all lights allowed feature!

There is a setting in BCD’s to turn off auto hand brake...index saw it when I was going through teach setting indecisively....it should be in central electronics....pretty sure....
