What's the coolest coding setting on a B8?

What about (re-)programming our cars to accept and use the newer facelift (b8.5) lights (which have brake lights and turn signals in both the inner and outer lenses, not just the outer)? This is a popular modification and it would be great to have a single checkbox toggle to change modes in one swift action.
Or even more fun: programming North American cars to accept Rest of World (RoW) or "Euro" lights (which have discrete brake lights and turn signal indicators that are not joined like North American lights).

I'm trying to decide whether to get an adapter and play around with Carista. Is the list in dap1974's post earlier a complete list of the tweaks?
If not, is there a full list somewhere that I can check out?

no. i have 15 a4, and the mirror tilts down in manual trans reverse, But, only if the mirror adjustment **** is set to right side, and you have programmed the mirror turn down feature , ahead of time.

Fox Fader - Thank you! There are a few things on your list that stood out:
> Gauge needle sweep at startup
I had no idea A4s could do this. I have mixed feelings about this feature in other cars. When I first saw it (in an '06 IS250), I thought it was cool and spaceship-like. But now that everyone seems to be doing it (including Buick), it seems silly. Do you see value to it?
> Turn off front fog lights when high beams are on
Looks like you chose "no" for this feature and that you have PP and thus the xenon lights. Do the additional fog lights make a meaningful difference with high beams?
> Flash brake lights in emergency stopping
Have you seen this in action? I'm wondering whether they flash fast (e.g., like a strobe light) or whether it's more like the hazard lights. It seems like slow flashes could be more dangerous than beneficial.

Doesn't make a big difference, but it drove me crazy when I turned the high beams on and frog lights went off

Dolphin, if you don't like the gauge weep, then select no.
As far as the fogs on with hi beams....that's just how I like to have em. Just me. I rarely use the highs anyway.
