The problem with OBDeleven (and VCP to a certain degree) is that it hides what it is doing in regards to coding. Coding is always about bytes and bits, so high_beam_functions is something that OBDeleven made up and that looks different in VCDS and/or VCP and/or forum posts (depending on what tool the post refers to). That's the reason why "Coding->high_beam_functions->high-beam assistant" means nothing to someone with VCDS and "Coding (07) - Byte 4 - Bit 1" means nothing to someone with OBDeleven.

Mitchfin did a great job at https://www.audiworld.com/forums/a4-...sense-2907906/ because he actually listed both, OBD11 and VCDS and that was a lot of work.

As example:
09 - Central Electrics

Thanks! I will try that.

Default Keep Fog Lights on with High Beam

I tried changing the headlight region to ECE, is does work but my front blinkers do not and throws codes. I have 2017 Q7, is there any other mods you did along with that, I have OBDEleven, Ross-Tech and ODIS tools.

It's really annoying when you come to a VERY brief stop and the engine stops/starts. I must come to a complete stop or risk getting a ticket. So I either have to remember to push the disable button, or shift to S. Shifting to S is what I've been doing (when I remember).

I wish there was a slightly longer delay built in so that it doesn't stop until the vehicle has been at 0 mph for at least a full second, or maybe two seconds. If I could find coding for that delay and increase to 1 or 2 seconds, the system would be great.
I can understand that. I have been able to control that completely, at least so far, simply by the amount of pressure I put on the brake pedal. I wonder if that pedal sensibility is different in each car??

Default Lane Assist Coding Help

I did the instruction, 5F part went fine but when I started A5 and went into BAP personalization, it says "function not available" and doesn't let me change anything. I am using OBDEleven and "ALL ADAPTATIONS" section.

ok, I was able to do it, I thought I only have to use "ALL ADAPTATIONS" sections. I did Coding section and then all adaptions. Now my car is showing Lane Assist system malfuction message.

I can use the pedal pressure to stop it if I really think about it. But it feels like it takes a long time to stop that way. Easier to just shift to S.

Double check everything and then reset MMI, usually the system needs a minute to reset.

Yeah, i wouldn't recommend the ECE coding.

Anyone found a way to tweak the time lane assist will stay on before beeping yet?
