Awesome write up! Did you ever enable the window / sunroof closing feature for the remote? Have you found other interesting mods since the write up?

Thanks for all the great info.

Here is a link that might help for some mods. They work well with the B8 S4. I'm not sure about the new A8:

•Set Audi parking system - Switch OFF Speed


Has anyone tried this. I am frustrated that the front sensors are not active automatically as one pulls into a parking space. They only come on when reverse in engaged or I manually turn them on from the front dash button.

If that setting was changed, I wonder if they would constantly come on in traffic?

Thank you for the write-up. Have you done any other mods since you wrote this?

I believe it would. How is the car to know if you are parking or coming to a stop because the light is red?

That's the one.
You can also choose to get the (currently BETA) HEX-NET version http://store.ross-tech.com/shop/VCHN.html

There is a software download of VCDS you will need for the dongle.

Two important notes:
- ALWAYS run and save an Autoscan when you begin
- note down any coding before changes are made in case you need to revert
