Anyone used obdeleven to activate VIM on a 2016 A6 yet? I got the device but haven't been able to activate VIM. It fails everytime I try with the one-click app they have.
Sorry I have to resurrect this thread. I was reading on vwaudiforum uk and saw the following to enable Traffic Sign Recognition.
- 17 Instruments, Long Coding, Byte 05, Bit 2 on - 8E Image Processing, Long Coding, Byte 02, Bit 0 on - MMI Hidden Menu: car/cardevicelist, VZE on - MMI Hidden Menu: car/carmenuoperation, VZE => 5
Problem is I don't see a Bit 2 when I get into Instruments, Long Coding, Byte 05. What's wrong here? I have attached screenshots below.

No Bit 2
Additionally I did an autoscan and got some faults. Is there something to worry about? Should I take it to the dealer since I'm still under warranty? But my concern is how did I found out about the faults since the car is not throwing up any check engine lights or any signs of a malfunction. How do I approach this with the dealer. Of course the German dealership seems to be very nice and I've been servicing the car with them since I took delivery in 2015.

Did you save a complete scan before you made any changes with vagcom or odbeleven? You could compare the two to see if the faults were already there or appeared after you made changes. If you're a vagcom customer, you might get better help posting your scan in their forums or ask your dealer if they can figure them out.
I'm assuming you're in the US; for the traffic sign recognition, I've seen a few posts saying that doesn't work in the US. Some of the coding references are in our software, but from what I understand, it doesn't recognize US signs (different shapes, sizes, etc).
I was able to get VIM working on my 2016. Weird part is accidentally ran the app with the car running even tho your supposed to turn it off, and it worked with no problems.
