Default Long coding on VCDS?

Trying to do my first coding mods via VCDS, I don't see the "long coding" option?

I am sure I am missing something simple, but what? I have attached a screen shot of what I am seeing in module 17, coding...

As you can see, I disabled the seatbelt chime, but am trying to enable needle sweep on startup.

Not all or many D3's can do the instrument sweep thing.

It's a feature that so far have only heard of on facelift s8's I don't know if it's all the facelift s8's or all the facelift a8's or just the later model facelift cars. I do some asking at the meet and see how many has it

I know it's just a gimmick, but wanted to code for it anyway. No big deal.

Not available in 2006's. Either facelifts maybe (2008) or sometime in 2007 at best. I think it may go with the digital speedo being available in the center instrument display screen.

That's not the whole picture either I'm afraid, many others on their a8s tried to get the digital speedo on the cluster and couldn't, yet I have it in the s8 but don't have long coding available for sweeping dials. It's a puzzler
