Default Link to vag-com mods for B8 S4

Anyone know where the link is for the vag-com mods for the B8 S4? I did searches and found one for the B8 A5/S5 but not the S4 (or A4). I know I found it before but no luck searching today here or audizine or quattroworld. I borrowed a vag-com cable from a friend with a B5 S4 and am hoping on doing the mods tonight...

Thanks,
Greg

Make sure you have a HEX-USB cable or better and VCDS 908.0 or better. Most of the stuff from the S5 should still apply.

That's the cable I have and I just downloaded the software so I should be good.

Thanks,

Thought I would follow up with how this went, especially for the people who have never done it. I borrowed a ross-tech hex-usb cable from a friend and downloaded the software from the ross-tech web site. Found the codes to change fromt the above link and went to work. It took less than 10 minutes and had all the changes made that I wanted. This was extremely easy and I had never done it before.

Thanks for the follow-up!

What all did you change? I have several other links saved for things ranging from enabling a DVD to play while the car is in motion to controlling how the brake lights function, DRL properties, seat belt chime disable, etc.

DVD in motion
DRL not turn off with turn signal
Hidden 3G MMI menu to turn on battery meter (have not done non vag part yet)
Lap timer with oil temperature reading
Operating Windows and Sunroof with Remote

I did not check but someone said the emergency stop lights were automatically on on the S4. If I have time, I will check.

Did not do seat belt chime. I don't mind it and it forces front passenger to ware the seatbelts.

Any good ones I did not do?

Not confirmed on an S4, but on an S5, this one will allow the keys to remember seat positions without having seat memories, I would love to have this confirmed for S4:
