__FORCETOC__

'''Ross-Tech is not responsible for any damage or problems that may result from following these instructions. They are to be used at your own risk'''. 

These instructions apply to the Audi A4/S4/A5/S5 (8K/8T). Similar models include the Audi 2008 + Q5 (8R/FP).

* It is always recommended to perform a complete Auto-Scan and save it prior to coding changes. Please see the Online Manual: [http://www.ross-tech.com/vcds/tour/autoscan.html Auto Scan Screen]
* Never Copy coding from a different vehicle and Paste it to your module(s)! 
* Prior to Adaptation Channel modifications in vehicles on this diagnostic platform it is strongly advised to save PLA (Adaptation) [[Control Module Maps]].

''The installed control modules vary by vendor, firmware level and equipment level, some of the noted tweaks may not be supported by all control modules/vehicles.'' 

----

=== [09] - Central Electronics / Body Control Module (BCM1 1.0) ===

'''Notes''':
* These vehicles use two BCM modules. BCM 1 is the [09] - Central Electronics which is responsible for most of the lighting in the front of the vehicle and sub-system controls including wiper activity.
* BCM 2 is the [46] - Comfort System module AND it has a virtual address address word [05] - Acc/Start Auth. (J393) '' (aka KESSY)''. BCM 2 controls most of the rear body lighting and conventional comfort operations such as windows and door locks. The KESSY itself is the immobilizer, and does not have a sense of humor - in other words don't mess with him.

=== Lighting ===

Modifications are found in found in two locations:
* '''[http://www.ross-tech.com/vcds/tour/adaptation_screen.html [Adaptation -10]]'''
** Choose the desired operation from the drop-down list -or- type the channel number into the box and '''[Read]''' the stored value. If a channel reports Error, Security Access required refer to the pop-up balloon in VCDS after selecting '''[Security Access - 16]'''.
* '''[Coding - 07]''' > '''[http://www.ross-tech.com/vcds/tour/recode_screen.html Long Coding Helper]'''.
** Click on each of the Bytes and Bits for the documented options and check or un-check the appropriate boxes as shown in the example below: 

'''[Select]''' 
'''[09 - Cent. Elect.]''' ''Or the module you intend on tweaking as per the list below'' 
'''[Coding - 07]''' 
'''[Long Coding Helper]''' 
Click on each of the Byte numbers in row '''3''') and you'll see the selectable options below. Check or Un-check the boxes for the desired results. ''Example: Daytime Running Lights via DRL LEDs active'' 

Close the Long Coding Helper by clicking the Windows X box on the top right of the screen or clicking the Exit button on the top left of the screen to send your altered Coding value back to the Coding screen.

** The MMI may have new menus which will operate based on user selections -and- the key that is used during the modifications.
*** MMI > Car > Windows > Front Windows, Rear Windows, and Sunroof options may be available.
** Alternatively, Adaptation Channels 001, 002, 003, 004 contain personalization settings.
*** The stored value is a sum of several options. Use the information in the pop-up balloon and add the desired features to generate the new adaptation value.
