I need to reset my 15K service reminder. Can someone walk me through the steps?

Just bought the HEX-CAN USB kit today... can't wait for it to arrive.

PS I am more than happy to help out those whom would need it, I live near Pasadena, California.

Will the dealer reset a VAG-COM code for me? I can't stand the fact that my radio ****s off after 10 minutes in accessory mode. Thanks

Is the question "will the dealer change the code from stock to custom"? In most cases the answer would be no. Your best bet would be to look up the codes you want and find someone with a vag tool to help.

I agree completely......careful of the guys who complain about having to do it all the time and therefor feel the need tp charge up to 125$ for less than 15min of vag time to check or uncheck a box and click "do it".

Default Thanks!

Just a quick thanks to everyone that contributed to this thread. I was able to EASILY find someone in the Metro Detroit area to help update my codes via the vagtoolfinder and the update of the codes themselves were sooo much easier than I thought. I picked up my new Q5 at 530 and I by 800 I was home from the dealer with my codes updated and my new foglamps put in (includes 1 hr of drivetime!).

Thanks again!

I don't see why not....
would be a MAJOR deal for VW to change all their coding, etc.... in their dealers equipment...

could they change everything? sure, but doubt it...

I sure hope so - just got my VAGCOM cable last week in anticipation of my Q5's arrival in a few weeks!

Don't think Audi will change their entire coding any time soon. AFAIK, Audi cars share the same basic software with different bits turned on and off for features that are specific to each model so I wouldn't worry about VAGCOM not working on the 2012... =)
