car&driver, I'm sorry; you missed me on two points. I don't know what an Audi PP is, and I'm not sure about the OBDeleven. Did you mean that you were able to activate the Active Lane Assist that was already installed on the car, but not turned on?

I had a feeling bringing it up would invite questions. Premium Plus = PP. Yes, you can turn on Active Lane Assist and Auto High Beams on PP models with the OBDeleven OBDII port dongle and Android app. You can also code other changes into the car.

See these threads that I bookmarked:

Here is the vendor that makes it: https://obdeleven.com/en/
Other vendors sell it as well. You'll need to buy the Pro back to get the code to unlock the Pro coding features or pay for it in the app.

c&d,
Thanks very much. This goes to show that there can be two versions of a story that are both true. And thanks for the translation of Audi-speak too. FWIW, I'm also a BAG - (Bay Area Guy)

Have you been able to test drive one with it? I think the verdict is that most people don't love it without the traffic jam assist on the Prestige. Let me know if you haven't.

If you get an Audi and decide to get an OBDevelen, I can help you with it. I'm down in the Peninsula/South Bay.

I think theres an OBD11 hack that gives you the lane keeping assist without the drivers assistance package.
