In my SQ5, you either get the small dials and sport gauge or small dials and large dials views. Both are separate. You can’t hit the view button to change from small dial to large dial to sports gauges. It has to be changed in the VC, not MMI. You have to go to the first tab in the VC (with the dials in the small gauge mode) where it gives you the car info, hit the left drawer button, scroll down to layout and choose between classic or sport layout.

see if that works in your A4.

Got it working.

OBDELEVEN its not under start up. Just click dashboard then scroll down to variant option. Start up has its own thing.

Looks great!! Just need sport mode with the gauge in the center lol

what is the benefit of changing this if you can't have the gauge in the center? Are there any other changes other than the s4/rs4 logo?

just looks sportier.

S4 you have the Red tag at 7-8 RPM and the RS4 the full speedometer is grey with the red tag at 7-8 rpm.

the regular looks plain not having that red fill in at the 7-8 rpm range,

Yes. Unfortunely there is no left or right feature to pick the sport layout

Are you sure you don’t get the drawers? You get the drawers even in the A4 showing trip computer and lap statistics. Just no layout option.


Edit: I haven’t tried it yet because I’m too chicken. I don’t want the S4 gauge unless I can get the sport gauge and I don’t want to be stuck with the S4 layout Incase I can’t change it back. Have any of you tried changing it back to the A4 layout?

Okay. I tried changing it to derivative 12 in vehicle variant under dashboard long coding. I get the S4 symbol at start up but when I turn the engine on, I see my old A4 guage. Wonder what I did wrong.



S4 logo on start up


Same old A4 gauge

Same old A4 gauge

I had the AC off and the main navigation screen off.

Plugged in the obdeleven.

Long coding. Scrolled down to variant 12. Turned off the car and also clicked the lock button to lock the car. Waited 2 minutes

Turned on car and it worked

Try changing it to 13 then once that works change it to 12
