Default Couple of questions

1. Is there anyway to lock the car after starting it and getting out to let it warm up?
2. Drivers seat doesn’t move even though I have the easy entry setting checked is this an easy fix?

For the first question -- this can be coded with OBDEleven easily. Once applied, using the lock button on the fob will work when the car is running. You'll need some sort of Android device with internet access and OBDEleven Pro ($79). OBDEleven will also give you access to a number of other coding tweaks you can apply, like disabling auto stop/start, gear number display on VC for D & S in addition to M, etc.. In the US, you can get it at shopdap.com

For the second question.. Easy entry will move the seat back only -- and not until you open the door after the car has been turned off. It only moves like an inch or two. You need to also make sure you have the option set for saving settings to the key, and also have your normal seat position saved to the memory on the door switch. When getting in the car, the seat will move back to the memory position after starting.

Hi, Is OBDEleven Pro quite easy to use or it is buggy?

It’s very easy to use, and I’ve never seen it be buggy. There are two ways to use it- you can either use the pre-made apps that perform the specific change you want, and those cost a certain number of points. That’s the easiest way. Or, you can make the direct coding changes yourself if you know which codings and adaptations need to be changed to which values - and that doesn’t use any points.

Thanks for your quick reply RickNY

I am looking to change simple things like disabling the stop/start feature and locking the car while the engine is on. I think the pre-made app would be more suitable for me.

If I recall, the auto stop/start app is a lot — like 100 points. But the actual change is just one adaptation and very easy to do at no cost if you do yourself. The lock while running app is I think 10 points, I think I just use the pre made app for that one. You earn points each day you open the app, or you can purchase points. I’ve never had to buy points.

hmm, that's interesting. Thanks for letting me know RickNY. I never knew stop/start can cost this much. I will try not to use points for this as 100 points is a lot of money.

They’re very easy for 0 points. There is a Google doc from some users in the Audizine forums created that have the codings you can do with a B9. That’s at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...h.vnuoairwv1fi

Start/Stop via AC
Description:

  • 08-Air Conditioning/Module
  • Adaptation
  • A/C comfort param for start/stop function
  • Old value: 5, New value: 0
  • Press and hold green check mark to accept

Lock with Ignition On

Description:
  • 46-Central Module Comfort System
  • Long Coding
  • Change central_locking_system_lock_unlock_at_engine_runin g to active
  • Press and hold green check mark to accept

I've gotten used to it.

You can modulate the pressure on the brake pedal while stopped and it won't engage the Start/Stop function, yet the car will still be stopped. Think of having a light foot on the brake pedal at a stop light.

Note that the OBDEleven coding to turn off Start/Stop doesn't necessarily turn it off; it "fools" the computer into disabling the function only if the A/C is active.
