MP4.2+6.0

Mod of the week if you will. I recall a few recent posts about folks not thinking the steering wheel was heating up enough. So, try just dialing the temp up via VCDS. Tested and confirmed on my 2015 D4 S8.
See below for the example I implemented from 28 to 32C. I may dial it another degree or two on next pass.

A while back, I scanned all my modules and emailed Rosstech copies, per there standing request. Since then, probably with much other input, they seem to have gotten more menu options than there used to be. I know I was digging around every module I could access, and these things you're finding weren't there when I still had my A8. Thank you for sharing your discoveries, I have also added this to the list.

Yes, I'm realizing there are sort of two or even three generations of mods. The first are the ones you and I probably both know historically that go back even a couple generations--the windows up/down w remote stuff (albeit now more folded into MMI), various chimes and lighting type tweaks, gear display, MPG display correction, etc. A few got added in along the way as things advanced into a more updated group like adaptive brake lights (rapid flashing when braking to point of ABS), gauge sweep, etc., but was hit and miss even w/ D3 which ones worked in which not. Now there are the ones that go with more recent equipment, or where changes may have been made to hardware to make the switches now work digitally, add feedback loops and sensors, etc. It isn't explained that way, but I sense advances in the module and electronics sides are now allowing these. Lap timer display that has been around a while now--I posted on that last year. Or in the newer world, I figured out the applicability of the seat and wheel ones on comfort side. Just implemented a tweak to lane assist tonight that I hope may turn it from marginally useful (and with some annoyances) to better. More to come after a long drive in coming days to give it a good test run. Various others on deck or trying to implement.

Thanks! I'm one of those that have posted that the heating is minimal at best, and my dealer even installed a new steering wheel a few weeks ago, which did...absolutely nothing! same heating temp, low at best.

can you amend the time for the massage seats to stay on>? stock sucks, way too short

Looks like you found my other post already--on the massage timer, the intensity, and the timer(s) on seat heating too. But just to cross link for the future: https://www.audiworld.com/forums/a8-...nsity-2914201/

Now if someone could figure out how to get the trunk to close with the key I would be extremely happy. I know it works in Europe.

MP4.2+6.0

Actually, stay tuned. Need to try one more tweak, but so far I have it implemented as long as you hold down remote button continuously. Is that how Europe works? Audi doesn't like things closing by themselves without operator monitoring--for legal reasons...

Great. Yes that's how it works in europe.
