Default What vagcom tweaks would you recommend for a '13 a7 prestige?

Does the "wink" issue exist in a7? Any other issues?
I can ask my dealer to perform those before delivery.
Thanks.

I believe it does wink, but personally would t call it an issue, I quite like it. Unless you have all LED headlights in which case the LED DRLs turn into the indicators. Can't be 100% though as mine is a few months from being ordered yet.

If you have LED lights, the DRL turns off and another amber LED strip beneath the white DRL flashes. No blink like other models.

Lots of other things that can be done with Vag-Com. Most popular are the remote key windows/sunroof up/down, gear indicator in the DIS for D and S modes and enabling gauge needle sweep on start-up plus many more.

Some dealers will do these for you and others may refuse to make any "non-authorized" changes. Keep in mind that subsequent MMI system updates done by the dealer may zero some changes back to default settings. That's one reason why many enthusiasts will bite the bullet and purchase their own Vag-Com cable from Ross-Tech. Also comes in handy to run scans to see if any faults are present before making service appointments.

The key is to only do documented mods and not experiment around with making changes when you don't know what you're doing.

Not really in one place but there's lots of threads on the Audiworld forums. Start with a "Vag-Com" search in the A6 (C7) and A7 forums.

adaptive brake light have the HMSL and brake lights blink upon emergency braking, with the led mod you'll notice that stock when you turn your parking or headlights on the LED strip will dim to i believe 9% stock, with the vagcom you can change this so the led strip does not dim when you turn your parking or headlights on, you can adjust brightness from anywhere up to 100
