Default First mods

First, a few VAG-COM mods:
* Open windows with remote
* Remove seatbelt alarm (I don't need reminded - I wear always)
* Set selective locking control to open all doors

Any others that I should consider?

Second, debadged and removed dealer's sticker. The dealer's license frame will go too.

After:

Default Bert Wolfe's sticker was a bear to get off the TT.

It makes me sad that they apply it. Not very classy of our local dealer.

Default Yeah, it was tenacious, but I'm tough too!

Over the years, I've ordered two cars from the factory and in both cases requested at the time of order not to affix a dealer tag/sticker. For the first, a Ford Escort wagon, they complied (dealer in Blacksburg, VA), and the second, my big blue F-250, they didn't (Turnpike Ford) and I still haven't gotten it off! I started but it was too much of a bear.

Default I don't have much experience working with VAG-COM,

but am relatively computer-savvy, so it wasn't tough to do.

Default rest of world lighting* and then clear corner your headlights

Default it's a good idea to write down the current # values your car has, so you can revert if necessary.

If you "mess something up" you can just go back to the way it was. Very few (none?) of the things people commonly talk about doing on the forums will really mess your car up too bad.

Default Figured it out on my own

I've had some similar experience programming radios, so it wasn't too tricky. And, I agree with artinmoTTion above, write down the current codes (although I didn't have any problems). The latest version of the software has some nice pop-up help too.
