Hello all, I just recently purchased an Audi A4 2010.

I figured that VAG-Com 908.1 cable is the interface I need.

Being a total n00b at this, I'd like to ask:

First, where can I download the needed software for free onto my laptop?
I see that I can download it from Ross Tech, but it seems like I need a license?

Secondly, say I got the software working.
How can I program the following?
- Control the windows from remote
- Keep LED lights on when signaling
- Turn off seatbelt/lights-on warning sound
- Make the gauge look cooler when starting the engine.

I live in Mississauga Ontario btw. If anyone here sell that cable or provide such service, let me know!

Thanks!

 

In order to activate the software from ROss-Tech, you need to purchase their cable. It acts as a dongle to activate the software.

They have put a lot of time and money into developing a quality product, and deserve support. Cheap ebay cables, well you get what you pay for.

I wouldn't want to brick a module or two on a new B8 for the sake of trying to save a couple hundred $.

That said, I have a Ross-tech cable, and have enabled remote windows in a number of VWs and audis, but have not had my mitts on a B8 yet (latest was a 2010 eos).

More than happy to "go through your modules" and see what can be activated or changed, but you would have to make the drive to Cambridge where I live.

 

The remote windows+sunroof up/down is quite useful in many situations.

- Turn off seatbelt/lights-on warning sound

You can turn off the "lights-on" sound? I thought you could only disable the seatbelt sound. Where's the code in vag-com to disable the lights on sound? Thats an annoying on, especially if you're using Auto lights.

 

just vag my car, and urs "Make the gauge look cooler when starting the engine." do u mean "needle sweep" u can search on google for needle sweep ? if u'r ever in markham maybe we can meet up so i can do it for u, but i only borrowed the cable from my friend so i can see if i still have the cable then i can do it for u
