Default ACC limited to 95mph?!?!? WTF! VCDS fix?

Please tell me there's a VCDS hack to enable ACC above 95mph? I'm on my phone in Germany so a) searching is painful and b) running this speed is legal.

Help greatly appreciated!

Maybe Audi decided above that speed the driver should be in complete manual control?

95mph might be past the point where the sensors have enough fidelity to regulate your speed and to take timely action in case traffic becomes stopped in front of you...

!! You should be in full control and awareness if your going over 95

Must be a US spec limit. http://www.audiusa.com/help/vehicle-mechanics (in the ACC video) says 0-90mph but http://www.audiusanews.com/pressrele...stance-systems and some other German links say 0-250km/h.

Make sense. I saw a YouTube video where a German A8 shows ACC lights in speedo all the way to 250km/h.

I don't have ACC, so I can't verify it, but I would bet my next paycheck that you can change this in VCDS. Did you bring your cable to Germany?

Hopefully you slow down from 95 mph while typing on your phone

Yeah but today's my last day so probably a write off at this point. Never again get to use it at those speeds. I'll probably poke through looking for something "155" as 155kph is about 95mph. Be nice if a euro member could help compare - but I won't have the car until it gets stateside in a couple months

It seems that your fun is over. You now have to come back to the land of the largest roads and the smallest speed limits.
