devslash Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 Hi guys I just bought myself an Audi S8 5.2l FSI and the previos owner (car dealer) did not give me and does not have the safety password for editing/deleting/adding user profiles. So I don't have any uppertunity to create a user to me and cant remove old profiles. I have searched alot for some information about how I can reset the password with vag-com, but no luck so far. Does anybody have some info about this? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 You lucky barstard!!! How's it sound and go? Any mods planned? With regard to the profile thing, not sure. Maybe the main dealer will have info, otherwise it should be in the hand book. It also, might be under a different name to what you are searching for. I don't recall a profile in my D3s, but they were earlier models. The US based forums are bound to have something in that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devslash Posted July 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 hihihi ;D The sound is perfect and I am totally in love with the car now :D For now I am only going to fix every faults in the car - and after that I can think of mods There is some small issues with soft-lock and slow lid motor ++ Yes, I know that Audi dealer can help me but they are closed now - hehe Don't think it is possible to reset user database directly from the MMI. I have looked through all manuals except Elsawin - suddenly a license problem :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 The boot lid motor could be that the struts need a bit of oil. Make sure you use the correct oil though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devslash Posted July 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 Hm, thanks for the tip :D I will try it when the kids are in bed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devslash Posted July 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 That worked perfectly. Its still a little bit slow, but alot better! I used greeze, probably not optimal.. but got me a confirmation that the motor was OK. What kind of oil do you recommend? Anybody got experiance with Rear Seat Entertainment System from Alpine? I have monitors in headrest and those works perfectly. In elsawin i read " The audio and video signals from the rear DVD changer -R162- are also reproduced via the MMI and the sound system of the vehicle." But i cant find a way to play DVD in the front screen (MMI) - same with sound. I have tried all sources. Any clue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-bmw Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 I would be asking if it is even a system feature to be able to show a DVD to the driver!!!! But, then I suppose it is an Audi, so the driver doesn't need to pay attention anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiser647 Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 I know with the TV module, the TV goes off from the MMI front screen once the car is going over 5 mph. You need to disable that with VAG-Com to enable it to carry on playing. Do you have the fitting invoice for the kit? It might mention if having it piped to the front was installed?

But I can fully understand why people go for them. what's the performance like? Is it like dialling in Warp Factor on the Enterprise?

devslash Posted July 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Performance is crazy and i keep on smiling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devslash Posted July 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 Video in front is by the way fixed with a small cable from kufatec. RSE was not connected to MMI. Have also ordered a mirror link device so i can share picture from my Phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Are you still on here? I took the plunge and bought an S8. Love it!! 2008 model, 90k miles, Daytona Grey (with dark wood interior.....), black leather blah blah oh, adaptive cruise too. Performance is phenomenal! It has had the engine flaps removed and mapping to register that. It is a bit lumpy when starting from properly cold, but after the first 30 seconds or so, all settles down. Smooth as and rides very well! You are a bad influence!!! Yes, I am blaming you.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
