You need a Ross-Tech VCDS OBDII cable and Vag-Com software to do the coding.

I figured, but do you have images of the pages on the VCDS I will be modifying?

Look-up at Julio Garcia's post.
If you ever used VCDS, you'll understand.
No need of a picture.
Good luck!

either i leave the key in the car or take it out , ENGINE will remain running.
i think that is a safety feature in all US A6s.
i live in Qatar.

Hi my 2013 Audi A7 2.8 Quattro is GCC spec and mine has the annoying switch off when door is open ( I believe all GCC cars have this; same as rest of world specs)..Here in the summer its 47c daily and you can not keep your kids in the car not even for a minute with it switching off as soon as I open the door to open the gate or pop into the shop or pick up a food order..Maybe your dealer in Qatar figured out a way to by pass this.
