Was it just vcds coding ? Interested to know what you did. My mode button does nothing (rnse mk1 for now, mk2 soon when I find the revision I want)
What have you done to your Audi A4 B7 today?

Tonight i added a bit to the splitter as there was only screws in the outside thirds, nothing in the middle third.little addition to the front end, which was reasonably easy to do.
The only problematic bit was getting the first screw in.
Before
After
Due to no support in the middle third, it was starting to flex and sag a little, so i added a bolt, nut and washers into the plastic strut on the centre of the splitter.
Now it's all nice tight and supported properly
Yes pretty much. Just a case of tweaking the steering wheel and instruments coding and adaptations to get it all working. I did also have to do a hard reboot of the rnse to get the nav display in the DiS after coding was done.
Drop me a pm if you want some more info, I'd be happy ro help

You see so many of these fitted badly and it really ruins the affect. When i fitted mine, i trimmed the height of the little uprights so it sat level and fixed it tight
yeah i trimmed mine down when i fitted it, just didn't secure it in the middle.
Luckily there's no damage and it's secured in the middle now too.
Thanks! I will do, when my VCDS arrives, not got it yet, although I have bought a Panasonic Toughbook tablet and maxed its spec out and loaded a 'de-bloated' version of windows.
Also got VAG Can on order too, because I'm hoping to flash the firmware in my door modules to Seat, so the mirrors fold and unfold on lock/unlock.

I don't think Vag Can can do what you plan, but please keep us updated on outcome.

Do you know how people do it then? Maybe I will just have to get some Exeo modules.

I have done it to my car using an Arduino, with also the tilt feature. But if it can be done with an Exeo Module or programing it will save you a lot of rewiring. I have seen it done on a Golf by hacking and editing the can bus data, tried it but ended up damaging the obd device.

You need to check which modules you have in the car at the moment.
Your car has the memory function seats which if I recall uses the correct modules to allow folding mirrors.
you'll need the folding door mirror switch also as its different to the just left/right item.

I was under the impression the exeo and b7 used different style door control modules. On a b7 its integrated into the regulator and the exeo was like every other modern vag car with a superate small control module
Finally finished the SDS today. Updated the RNSE firmware and activated SDS in the engineering menu. Luckily the kufatec patchlead for the oem bluetooth made re wiring the mic a 1 sec job.
Even took the passenger seat out in a attemt to fit the proper waterproof case for the BT module, but doesn't seem theres space for it under the carpet. Looked online and an workshop manual suggests its mounted under the right front seat?
Anyway, a couple of other little blingy parts arrived earlier too, ill post a pic when their fitted

Thanks Everyone,
Rob, I have folding mirrors, so I have the switch, I am trying to make them fold on lock/unlock rather than having to remember each time (so far I rarely remember).
Thats where everyone seems to mount them when doing the retrofit to avoid removing half the car. Having said that its a right faf trying to get the glovebox back in with the BT rammed in there. Ill have to do more digging
Cheers rob, a nice little touch to brighten up the interiorLooking very super swanky Alex.
B7 Body modules are K-line not CAN BUS, which is where my plans came apart. And probably why you had issues.
Is there a guide anywhere for doing it the 'Ardunio' way ?
Thanks.
The sun was out today so decided to swap over to the decat pipe, I wasn't sure if it was worth bothering with it yet what with a new project in the pipeline, but hey, why not.. 
Adjusted the kw's after a few weeks to settle down, the fronts had settled about 5mm from the first fit, after today's check they are now the same height as the previous H&R setup , so left them alone.
The rears had settled 10mm from the first fit, which was to be expected, adjusted them back up to first fit height, I expect they may drop a tad more over the coming weeks, I'll keep an eye on them.
All in really happy with them.
Decat has a nice rumble too, nice to hear some louder tones sometimes.
Off on a test drive after some nosebag shortly.
some pics below, phone went flat so none of the ride height as yet, will get some in the morning for ref purposes.

Just been out for a little trundle around the countryside, and what a difference, I'd honestly forgotten what a difference that decat makes to the midrange, the old bus was a bit zippy before but it's very noticeable now indeedy.

Nose bag Rob !, didn’t have u down as the type ..
Some of the local ne’er do wells who frequent the shadier corners of the local call the old Colombian marching powder that

In our household , it's nothing dodgy James...lol, just good old grub.
Just some basic pre mot(Tuesday )fettling and fiddling,got the rear screen wash working ,headlight washer squirts too
Swapped to the bbs speedlines as one tyre on the mtms has some grooves to the inner wall ,they were bought from a guy who ran air ride on a beetle ..obviously the wrong offset

Still are james, there's an old style sweet shop not far from us, all the goodies one could ever wish for...not the same as the old sweet shops of my youth but still nice.
I love sherbert dips , humbugs etc , well i have a sweet tooth, yum.

It's always good to add in some lightweight replies James, breaks up too much tech talk.
Can remember nicking my dads fisherman’s friends out the glove box of his rover sd1 back when I was a nipper ,now they were a different level

On the coilover front, my recent change to KW's from the fixed damper setup has highlighted another factor.
Previous setup with H&R springs always felt quite firm on initial compression , KW's seem to have a much softer initial compression, which seems to make for better low speed damping.
The bilsteins were brill with H&R's but these KW's seem to be much better.

The project was all a DIY, trial and error until I got what I what I planned.
I can provide you with all the needed information, and the Arduino sketch but it won't be an easy job.

Please it might be one for summer, can you PM me all details.
I might just build my own circuit with a couple of relays and capacitors, but I want to study all options before I do it.
Awesome. I would love to compare the KW to my AP. See how similar they are or aren't, the heresay seems to be mixed messages.
Can we see your lows ?

Appreciate it. Forgot how good this forum can be . I've not used it much in the last few years until recently.
It is a great site with a really good mix of sensible posts from new and experienced members and added light-hearted banter to keep things easy going.
There's nothing worse than a forum that is has no room for mixed replies and conversation that may not be directly related to a specific reply, that why i love this site, it is simply the best.
We have specific and non-specific forums which are brill and there's always room for extra bits in between, it keeps things friendly and light-hearted,i can't be dealing with all the cliquey and stuck up stuff found on other sites.
Long live ASN.
