Don't know if there are different versions of the dongle, but mine flashed red and green

(TSR is not working)

Mine flashed both as well. Eventually the Red turns off and it’s just solid green. It took a lot longer than I thought or it felt. It was probably only a minute or two but it felt like forever.

My understanding is that it is impossible with VCDS or OBD11 since you must flash new firmware to the camera. Even if you find the files, VCDS does not have a flash option but VCP does. Free vs $$$$

It is dead easy with VCP. You just need to load the parameter file for your camera hardware number that enables both Traffic Sign and PreSense. There is no upgrade of firmware or anything else involved. Once the parameter has been enabled in the camera, you can turn the Traffic functionality on using either VCDS or VCP.

Default Predictive control

Have any of you guys that used the dongle found a new setting for the ACC called predictive control ? I have a 2023 S4 premium plus and I want predictive control: Adjusts ACC speed to curves, intersections, and road signs. My buddy has a prestige S5 of the same year and he has the option, the only difference between our vehicles is the traffic sign recognition. I hope if I get the TSR it’ll show that option as well.

Predictive control for ACC is the first thing I turned off when I got m my car. Way too many unnecessary slow downs. Even a bit dangerous when cars behind you are not expecting you to be slowing down.

Good point, have you used the KUFATEC dongle? If so was it just as easy as plug and play ?

No, that feature was stock in my car.

I second this. I'd be going 85 on a highway and a slight bend would come up and it would slow me down 20mph
