Chris_B Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 Didn't dare change anything yet... Naturally, a few label files were missing - 01 & 11 engine, 14 suspension electronics, 36 seat memory driver, and 6d trunk electrics. I've generated controller maps (though I've just realised I failed to spot 36 seat memory) and sent them off to Ross-Tech. Anyone know if they really make much use of these any more? Found two faults, one log of a reset tyre pressure fault, which I know about - didn't realise it kept them logged even after the condition was fixed though! The other is also one I knew about - the sport suspension plus damping controller crashed and I was stuck in Comfort mode until I rebooted MMI. Now, on to the point of the post. On the wiki in Coding, Channel 002: Installation list II, the following codings are shown: +00001 = Left-Hand-Steering (LHD) [standard] +00002 = Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) available +00004 = Avant (PR-K8D) +00008 = Oil Level Display available +00016 = Digital Radio (DAB) Video Transmission +00032 = Battery Status Display active I'm going to guess that the coding for this is currently either 22 or 6, depending on if the digital radio is set to receive video or not (nobody seems to transmit it here, so I've never really played with it). If I want the oil level and battery display (assuming the hardware to show this is installed - I do have AVS, so oil sensor hardware may be fitted), I'd change this to 60 or 46 respectively. Barking up the right tree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 You should be able to see the soft coding that is already present (I think it is near the description of the item/serial/PN etc.) so can check what you have then as you suggest it is a question of enabling/disabling things & seeing if they work ! I know the A4 B8 there is a lot that can be soft coded & on a Golf IV I enabled the seatbelt warning (lit the warning but lights wouldn't go out as didn't have the right belts) & more usefully disabled the brake pad warning option so it didn't constantly nag for new brake pads with lots of life left.

Chris_B Posted April 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Thanks, so I have read that right - it's just bit flags, so it's standard IT binary maths - 32 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 2, right? I'm struggling to find much to change on the RS 6. Adding oil level (if it works) and battery level is about all I can realistically find to do. I couldn't see where LED rear running lights might be set, so I don't know if the C6 does that. The S5 is going to get no dimming LEDs with indicators, LED rear running lights, and lap timer & oil temp display I think. Same for the S4 when it turns up, but that might also get Drive Select defaulting to Dynamic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 (edited) Glad your having fun - is the best way to learn, really comes into its own when lights a fault... Yes, that is the easisest way to think of it/work it out... You should be able to convert the Decimal to if you Binary with which bits are on eg - +00001 = Left-Hand-Steering (LHD) [standard] - OFF +00002 = Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) available - ON +00004 = Avant (PR-K8D) - ON +00008 = Oil Level Display available - OFF +00016 = Digital Radio (DAB) Video Transmission - ON +00032 = Battery Status Display active = OFF Makes 011010 = 22 or 2+ 4 + 16 but I have never got it to work properly so just add them up as you say. FOr the longer strings that make less sense I use this tool Decimal and Binary Conversion Tool as if you ask it to explain your answer it explains how it got there. Good for deciphering the original settings ! I know on my RS4 it is pretty limited on what can do - some roll up/downs, locking & changing the HLs over for contiental motoring. You can play with the DRLs, coming home delay, tail & DRL brightness etc. but have left alone. Can also put RS4 on the RNS-E boot screen so not sure if worth seeing if some MMI settings ?

Chris_B Posted April 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 So, the current adaptation for channel 2 (Installation list II MMI Functionality) is 18. Now to me, that looks like: +00001 = Left-Hand-Steering (LHD) [standard] +00002 = Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) available +00004 = Avant (PR-K8D) +00008 = Oil Level Display available +00016 = Digital Radio (DAB) Video Transmission +00032 = Battery Status Display active I wonder why Avant isn't selected? Anyone have any idea what this controls? So, assuming there's a good reason an Avant wouldn't have Avant selected, if I set that to 58, I'd have: +00001 = Left-Hand-Steering (LHD) [standard] +00002 = Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) available +00004 = Avant (PR-K8D) +00008 = Oil Level Display available +00016 = Digital Radio (DAB) Video Transmission +00032 = Battery Status Display active But that Avant being set to zero is strange though, eh?
