It's probably something simple I'm missing. Let me ask you this..on the FOB I press and hold the unlock button for a few seconds and the windows "should" open. Is that correct?

Default Polizei! Internetwache! Thread Hijack in Progress!

Don't know what this means but looks scary.

Just yanking yer chain a bit, but start another thread or search (STFA). It's been documented before if its doable!

We should have some stickers made just like this except with "AudiWorld.com" where it says "Polizei"!

That's it, if that doesn't work after making the necessary change in VCDS, I don't know what to tell you.

Variously,
1. go back in w/ VCDS and recheck settings.
2. Make sure you check MMI settings for the area too; used to be solely VCDS controlled but now some of the settable stuff in MMI overlaps w/ it IIRC.

I have the OBD2 to USB cable labeled Mini VCI standard OBD2 Communication Interface cable that I used for Toyota Techsteam. Think this will work for VCDS?

Thank you, I'll give it another look.

Found it in the MMI as you suggested. Thanks for your help both you and Jack88.

Can not get the massage function to stay longer than programmed. I get a value error when trying to do so, i can not make it longer nor shorter.

all other coding works but this does not ?
