Hey Abi, try instead of Coding, looking under Adaptation in your central electronics, could be in there on your ECU.I don’t have this option with vcds?

Mine already has the ambient lighting pack, but thanks for the part number and info.
That said, I do want to upgrade the internal lights as they are a bit too yellow, but that can wait for another time as I have a few other jobs lined up ready for the near future.
I didn't even read the details, I just bought it!Dave
I fitted this kit last week

Hey Sam, I have 1AT ESP but the dash display went mental when I enabled hill hold, it said stuff like "run screaming to nearest Audi dealer, your hair is on fire....."
Seriously though in light of having the right ABS controller and the right ESP software, why won't it work and do you have a thread link on the missing pieces of the puzzle? I guess I'm just missing an acceleration sensor.
Thanks mate, I might have another go at it today. One pain in the backside is my OBD socket is twitchy, I have to pull the vcds plug to the right so the left edge of the plug almost detaches before the LED will come on and communicate or I get "not connected to car" - anyone else had this? The undertray the socket is mounted on is loose so will pull the lot and check the socket itself. It often stops communication while coding due to this.Hi Scott, on my previous A3 1.8 Tfsi (09) we needed to run a wire from the ABS to one of the control units, we did this at the same time I retro-fitted TPMS. This also needed the TPMS button to be added to the button panel below the head into.
For my 2011 (61) S3, both TPMS and Hill Hold can be done via VCDS.
I’ll see if I can find the links but google/search for TPMS repair wire.

Have you opened long coding helper in vcds? If not, no options will be shown.
Ok, try byte 18, adding one to the value. Can you click byte 18 and let me know what value is there. Yours is 7A if I'm counting properly, you could change it to 7B and see if it works. If not or anything odd happens then put it back to 7A.

Sorry got the byte wrong, it's byte 18 and yours is set to 23, try looking in that one, next to where you are now. 23 may need set to 24, 25 or 26 even if there is no tickbox for Scandinavian drl
Ok so did some more digging on stemei.de, you need to do as follows for my10 cars onwards:
- Select STG 09 (vehicle power supply control unit)
- STG coding -> function 07
- Byte 18
- Disable bit 0
- Disable bit 1
- Activate bit 2
Your is a 2010 yeah? Sportback?

Wait till Google translate switches the page to English or it's really really confusing haha.... seriously though try both central convenience and central electronics, click every byte on the long coding helper and see what options are there. Mine was in module 9 byte 0.
Just looked and you seem to have version 1.0.6.24, mine is version 18.60 or something, so yeah could be way too old.
Yee haa! Nice one mate.
Yeah it takes like 5 mins literally with VCDS or similar, go to Central Electronics 09 -> Coding -> then using [long code helper], tick "Scandinavian" DRL and untick "North American”
I can’t see an DRL option in vcds for the Scandinavian tick box can’t even see a tick box for North American??
Ah I see, mines a 2010 S3 sportback. VCDS is an old version as I had it when I had my golf a long while ago and I’ve had different cars sinceWhat year and model is your car though mate? Each generation of A3 is different.
Also how old is your vcds?
Just seen your post, coding is mind boggling I will try your way tomorrow see if it works on mineThere wasn’t on mine either, had to alter coding manually

I just used my phone and ticked a box
Yeah I think it’s VCDS... I’ll have another look when I get home
