I use OBD11, but give it a try with your equipment. Extended to 35 minutes, the ride to work

Maybe trying to extend the time too much? Odd that some ECUs would take it and others wouldn't. Could be the software version?

Newest version and cannot adjust up or down. Others have had the same issue. I can do speed and intensity but not time.

My theory is revision 1 vs 2 of the ecu but I have no clue if it a software programming issue or the ecu itself. I do know that ver 2 ecu can hold multiple tunes and ver 1 only 1. Face-lift and up have version 2 to my knowledge.

Implemented with my 2015 S8. Shows either D1, D2, D3 etc.or S1, S2, S3 etc. as it shifts or you paddle it. Actually, when I also did the obscure Efficiency program mod just to play with a bit (still inconclusive), it then displays E1, E2, E3, etc. Did it on my D3 too, and have it in Q5.

Default Please help / A8 2013

I need help with couple of things because I am going blind searching for answers. With coding / Ross cable / VCDS, I am trying to enable on a US 2013 A8 4.0T euro style parking lights, I can do anything with the headlamps, but the rear is not coming on. Also, PDC sensors enabled to go on automatically when approaching something in the front, without pressing the P button twice. I cannot get to see the battery level option anywhere after the coding and my fuel cap opens only when I press the Valet mode on. I am guessing that the previous owner played a little with the coding and now I have to address some of the issues.
Advice for reasonable price on brake pads, rotors, filters / choice of brands also greatly appreciated. I am just a week old proud owner
Thank you so much for all your help!
