SQ5: How to reset the 'Service Due' reminder >

[Norskie]

How does one reset the "service due" reminder?

I can't seem to find a way to do it in the MMI nor in OBDEleven. Don't tell me that after 20 years, Audi still requires a dealer visit for this?

IDK if OBDEleven has a similar "reset", but with VAGCOM I just use their SRI Reset feature. Another reason why I always tell people to go with VAGCOM vs. the other tools.

Get a RossTech VCDS cable and a laptop and you can reset the interval yourself. A VCDS cable is basically a required tool in your toolbox when owning an Audi these days.

Allows you to do so much more than just reset intervals though. Can also scan for errors, clear errors, LOG various ECU values for troubleshooting, and change parameters of just about everything. Don't like the seat belt dinger? Disable it! Don't want your daytime running lights to "wink" with your turn signal? Change it! Want to roll your car windows up and down via key-fob remote? You can enable that too!

I’m almost positive that it’s on the same page as the oil reset on OBDEleven. OBDEleven also allows you to do everything listed above. I don’t have access to my SQ5 right now but if you need more help I can get step by step instructions later today.

Can't you do this with Carista?

Thanks ... I'd appreciate that!

I did find the Dashboard adaptations which has a "service reminder' toggle set to '1' (on) which I changed to '0' (off) but it didn't remove the notice.

On the plus side I figured out how to set the oil distance to 7500 instead of 15k and the service inspection interval to something like 70k and 700 days .. and I saw a few settings for "reset service inspection" but that claimed to not be supported.

Also ... found an OBDEleven app that was supposed to reset the service reminder. It didn't ... but it set the next service mileage down to 10000 ... grrr I could have done that.

I wonder if I need to drive the car for it to take effect ....

Can confirm.

[Norskie]

Nope. Driving it didn't help. Ugh. More research...

Typically when I reset the oil change reminder you should be able to reset the “oil service reset” and the “inspection service reset” have you tried resetting both of those? Those are the only 2 things I reset at each service and never have the “service due” reminder come up.

I can't reset the 'inspectino service reset'. It says "not available". But I can reset the oil change reminder.

Have you tried under the “apps” section?

Yes. I found an app that was supposed to reset the service reminder. It didn't ... but it set the next service mileage down to 10000 ... grrr I could have done that.

But for the life of me I can't remember or figure out how to get back to that screen though.

I figure it out ... I think.

Going on memory here ... might not have the exact adaptation names listed here.

There is an adaptation for "service reminder" and has two settings ... 0 = off, 1 = on. I had originally tried this, setting it to zero, but it didn't work. Then I tried a bunch of other stuff that didn't work.

There are also adaptations for "service reminder intervals" and another "miles since service". Setting these didn't work either.

Then I tried the app to 'inspection service reset' but that too didn't work; but it did set the "interval to next service" to 10000 (I had bumped it to 70k or something). I'm guessing it also changed the "distance since service".

Got in contact with OBDEleven support (which were VERY responsive!) and they refunded the credits for the app and suggested I try a couple other things. When I went back in to try those couple other things, on a whim I went back to "service reminder" adaptation and it was set to "2" !!! All I can think is that the App did this.

So I set it to "0" and it worked.

What I'm thinking, is that when I initially set it to "0", and did nothing else, it re-triggered. Thus, what I should have done, is to change the "service reminder" and the "distance since service" at the same time.

I guess I'll find out in 10000 how to do it in one go ....

Norskie,

are you using the Android version? I have the IOS version am trying to figure out how to reset my service reminder but nothing pops up in adaptations under dashboard.

Yes, Android.
