I need this. Where did you get it?

Sorry Rob, I still don't understand what this is for. I have a USA 8V sedan (saloon). Is the Start/Stop you're referring to the same as "Auto Stop" feature seen on other VAG cars? For the US market, I don't think our 8V ever had that feature.It's so the switch remembers it's state when you turn the ignition off so if you don't like S/S it saves you from having to press the button every time you get in the car.
Yep as Oli says I've had S/S disabled practically since I got the car using the VCDS voltage mod just thought I'd give this a try saves getting the S/S unavailable icon on the DIS. This is how the button should behave - my headlamp and wipers switch remembers what they're on LoL

We (US market) didn't get the feature, along with efficiency mode and a host of other options. Cost cutting tactics.Sorry Rob, I still don't understand what this is for.

Hi mate, it's the engine stop/start when you're stationery the engine will stop when foot is on the brake and move again when you lift off to accelerate as long as other conditions are met battery voltage, temp, seatbelt etc...
Could be market specific I'm really not sure.

I did get the puddle door lights working, but didn't get the ambient lights to work that can be controlled with the mmi unfortunately. Not sure how to get it to work. Still need to put in my foot well lights too. Glad you like the Laguna seca bids, might be heading back again in Feb (or Sonoma).Thanks guys.
@rcnacura. Nice to see another owner member here from the States (I'm also from the West Coast). I enjoyed your Laguna Seca track day video! I've been meaning to ask: did you ever complete the door puddle lights mod? I followed that thread and am about to order a set from Aliexpress to try out on my S3.

Ya let me know if you have any questions. Are you in the SF area?Thanks for the update. I can forgo the footwell lights (I had them in my Mk7 Golf R and wasn't impressed) but I really like for both the red door lights and bottom door puddle lights to work (both front amd rear doors) . When I get around to it, would you mind me checking with you for troubleshooting?
What's considered ambient lighting in the A3/S3? Is it the LEDs in the door handles?
Thanks RCN! I'm just over the hill in Northern NV. Regarding the door lights (red and puddle), is this the set you purchased: 8 Pcs OEM LED Footwell LightYa let me know if you have any questions. Are you in the SF area?
Ambient lighting is lighting that was a hard to find option. Basically lights that were under the mistral door accents. Think I just need some other module maybe.

What month and year is your car? Do you have the tech pack?Last week I updated my Audio basic system (8RM) to Audi Sound System (*** - 9VD)
Here the DIY in Spanish: FrA1l3_Brico_ASS.pdf
It's worth it, change is brutal!!
Heard back from alloy insurers today to say claim is approved and they have appointed "Revive Auto Innovations" Having a quick look online, cant see much, and no mention of Diamond Cut

I was under the impression this couldn't be done on my car

So my16 should work?I have looked into this with @DJAlix and after trouble shooting this and testing wiring, when using VCDS we could not get the output on the back of the sub woofer connection working. My MMI was an early MMI version (MY13) which did not have the DAB hardware function.
I have actually been investigating this further since we last spoke, via a SEAT Leon, and although VCDS coding is needed ultimately firmware changes need making also, hence the use of VCP within the retrofit guide. The Main problem has been that the files available within VCP are not labelled very well if at all, and using firmware files in error can screw things upI have looked into this with @DJAlix and after trouble shooting this and testing wiring, when using VCDS we could not get the output on the back of the sub woofer connection working.

Do you have a MMI V1 or V2 unit?So my16 should work?

It was November 15. How can I tell v1 or v2?Do you have a MMI V1 or V2 unit?
All goodSorry Alex, I thought this was a message to me that came up in tapatalk. apologies for jumping onto the thread
Excellent thanks for the help, so just needs a simple VCDS code?MMI v1 then and will work
If you are interested in a S/S module please hold on for a few more days... I have something coming that might be of interest to a good number of peopleThere are a few available but @DJAlix has a little gem up his sleeve might be worth sending him a PM
No This needs a combination of Coding (via VCDS or alike) and something called parameterisation, which VCDS cannot do. You will need access to a tool such as Vag Can Professional.Excellent thanks for the help, so just needs a simple VCDS code?

Excellent, could you pm me a price? I'll price up the components and go from thereIndeed! Many thanks to @FrA1l3 for taking the plunge.
I have Genuine, fully registered VAG Can Professional + all the available add-on modules should anyone need help
