I found this forum, hoping there is another option.

Anybody in Calgary do VAG programming?

cheers,

Charging hundreds of dollars for 15 minutes of work (incl time to drive the car into the bay and then park it afterwards) is the "Stealerships" version of saying "BEND OVER" !!

hey Jory_ A3
I am sorry i can't let that go, but it would be cheaper for you to drive the car her to Newmarket Ontario and go to the Audi dealer i went to and do every thing you need( DRL, miles To Km ) for 59.99 + taxes:)

I just bought a 2006 A4 SLine as well from the USA and am bringing it into Canada. I am getting everything organized so I know what to do and where to go when I am allowed to clear the boarder (72 hours) to go.

Anyways, I live in the VANCOUVER area. The dealer wants $300 do add Day Time Running Lights. Is it simply "reprogramming" something ??

Any one know of a non-dealer that can do this around here... I live in Surrey, but any where in the Vancouver area would be fine.

Thanks all.... cant wait to drive this car.

Actually Jory_A3 is right our dealer charges an arm and a leg but also have you seen used audis in the ontario area vs alberta? our cars are about 3-10 grand more than in ontario for the same car. for example an oil change runs me $170 at the dealer which is retarded

Yes, simply reprogramming ... Try posting on AZ or AW in the Canadian regional sections - I'm sure you'll find somebody to sort you out ...

I recently passed my federal inspection (and provincial inspection for that matter) on my '02 B6 A4 from Colorado. thanks to 1move's VAG Com help in Calgary. Literally took 5 minutes at most, DRL's turned on, easy easy easy.

I was quoted the same $500 to $600 by Glenmore and Royal Oak Audi, and $100 to $150 by Concept1, TwoSquare, and Rigel Tuning.

Thanks again 1move, see you guys at the next meet!
