Agreed but (particularly as a non-techie) I find a hand-written "pre-change" notation to be comforting.....just in case. Thankfully have not needed it yet.

Thanks for confirming. I made the changes just before my 15K mile service and perhaps when my dealer updated my MMI to 0715-2, it set it back to the default, although, none of my other mods were affected. I'll check the values to see if they have reverted.

It would make sense that this one would be overwritten with a new MMI update since it relates to the MMI.

What other MMI mods did you do? You probably understand this better than me so please explain it if I am wrong, but most of the Vcds mods don't look like they go through the MMI. So I could see some being saved if they are not directly affecting the MMI.

Off hand, I can think of one - the convenience key which adds an MMI menu item to control windows and sunroof operation from the key fob. Still there and working. Unless 0715-2 added it on its own.

Would be nice to have on the Audi, but with the Premium Plus, I think I got the Inconvenience Key....so I don't think it can be activated.

I don't think that's the case. I believe any Audi that has a remote key fob and power windows/sunroof can be programmed to operate them. My now gone 2001 A6 and the wife's 2002 allroad has that option enabled by VCDS. No MMI or advanced key existed back then.

Thats actually the main reason I'm messing with the VAG-COM. Had the window raise/lower on my X5M and used it all the time, so now I'm spoiled and need it on my A6. Wish there was some way to do the trunk close too, but pretty sure we don't have the motors required to close it.
