It works well to do anything I need to do.

If I where to do it over I would spend the extra on this:
Ross-Tech Store: VCDS License with HEX-NET (WiFi/USB) Unlimited VINs (All VAG)
To me it's worth it just so i don't have to deal with a wire.
Thank you for the advice!

Default Cross reference to D4 A8 and S8 coding for lap timer function

To try to keep information findable from a central place, I am adding a cross reference here for a stand alone thread I did for some additional VCDS (VAG-COM) coding to enable the Lap Timer function (and oil pressure, speedo and boost visual gauge) to center display on the D4 A8 and S8 specifically: https://www.audiworld.com/forums/a8-.../#post24786938

HI Jack88,
Thanks for this detailed list. I am attempting to alter the Enable CD (copy/rip to the Jukebox). I have enabled green menu and followed Main/Diagnose/Settings, Import media. At this point it only shows me two boxes that are both checked/filled in- Rip and Copy. The 4 of 4 does not exist as I have seen in video from other site. I tried combinations of these checked and unchecked. Unchecking copy removed the import feature all together after reboot. 2016 A8L MMI version HN=R_US_AU_P0925. Any input? thanks

How did you enable the Hidden Menu? I have tried everything and still not able to do it. I have a 2016 A6.

Followed OP directions using VCDS. Also found this link Enable MMI hidden green menu (2G, 3G, 3G+) - mr-fix.info
Not sure if protocol for A6 is same as 2016 A8

Interesting. It's worth restating that you can only rip from CD's if you use the console CD/DVD slot. The changer does not support ripping. I tried to see on my end what it looked like, but I can't access the green menu. It seems my software update disabled access and I don't have my cable at the moment to get in there and reenable it. Also, it appears my CD ripping capability has been disabled. Very interesting.

The window roll down is something I enabled, and have no issue. Do you mean the roll down quit working or the key fob has entirely failed? Is it just the one fob, or does your other fob also fail to work?

I got it fixed. The roll down/up quit. I had to enable it in the MMI.
