My 2015 A8L TDI is arriving in late OCT. I got all the options besides the night vision and Balao seat package. I am not too concerned about the matrix lights. It is one of those features that I would have liked. My bigger concern is the "knight rider" turn signals. It is disappointing that it is not supported. That seems like a cool feature. I have a Ross-Tech on VAG-COM WiFi on order. Here's to hoping we can change something in the ECU to have the "knight rider" blinkers enabled.

Quite refreshing


Once you get the A8L, please help us get the newer models documented.
Use Hex-Net and the current beta of VCDS classic (desktop) to document the Control Module Maps using procedure #1.

More modules are moving to UDS/ODX protocol, but having an AutoScan and all the maps greatly helps to figure out coding.

Will do thanks!

Thanks, it helps us all since the D4 doesn't have quite the volume of, say, an A4

Funny story - I sent LazyDog to the Ross-Tech forum to get answers on something. Uwe's response was "Paging Jake" LOL

Yeah, what do you expect? You are the MAN!

I send a complete scan with debug set to 2 to try and record the labels that weren't mapped.

Serf what's planned for the 2011 when the 2015 comes in? Trade in? I'm in the market for a used 2011 A8L equipped like yours around *** time frame but can move earlier for the right car. Miles?

Opps meant derf.
