Ok I have enabled a couple of more Bits and all it displayed was the Steering and Suspension, which does not make a difference to me since I dont have the hardware installed, but maybe ezveedub can elaborate a little more on it if needed. (Picture Attached)
ezveedub, thanks again for the knowledge

Is there any trick in restarting the MMI or will pushing the "RETURN" car do the trick?

Cool! Early posts on this said you could only make hard changes with vagcom and would have to go back in with the cable every time you wanted to change it. Glad to see you really can set it up in MMI. I'm guessing that you did things correctly with the question about a 1 versus a 5 in the hidden menu. If you didn't do it correctly, I don't think it would even show up right in MMI. I had a hard time with ambient lighting for awhile...got it to show in MMI so I did the hidden menu right, but I messed something else up so the option was grayed out in MMI. All fixed now. Sendmeone, now we just need to trade up for the missing hardware ;-) Did I see that you may be doing something like that b/c of issues? I'd love to trade up but for now I'm facing home repairs/upgrades and possibly a new vehicle for the wife very soon.
Yes, as of June 4 my new 2013 will arrive to the dealer from the port. The vehicle has been in South Florida since May 25, I had to make a little compromise on my order by not doing a special order. Instead I was able to select one of the first vehicles of my choice that was being delivered to the dealer...someone is going to be pist that I took their car.
I picked a S4 Prestige, Black/Black Nappa,Audi Sport Diff, 19"
Will post pics as soon as I receive it.

This is the only option I have ever changed in my S4 anmd I really cant say ther is any different in steering or sport diff feel. I did, however, see an RPM diff in Dynamic mode after setting the MMI Engine/Gear box setting to Dynamic (rather than AUTO OR COMFORT) Essentially, the RPM's are higher in 5th and 6th gears when the car is in Dynamic mode (after the MMI Engine/Gear box setting has been re-configured)

Thanks ezveedub, do you know if enabling the this will give me the Launch Control functionality?
From the supplement flyer that we sent to me states that I have to place the ADS in "Dynamic" or in the "S" position in one of the steps, please confirm if it can be done

All the 2012 s-tronic, ADS or non-ADS, SD or non-SD, have LC. That's why Audi sent you that page. Many non-SD owners on the forum have also confirmed this.

Also, with steering and suspension on, do you get a CEL/error saying it can't speak to the specific ADS components they talk to, i.e, the steering servtronic that offers variable ratio and the ADS suspension?
