Enabling video in motion on your Audi A5 allows passengers to enjoy videos while the car is moving. This popular modification can be achieved using VCDS (VAG-COM Diagnostic System), a diagnostic tool that allows access to various control modules in your Audi. This guide outlines successful coding changes for various features in an Audi A5, including potential solutions for video in motion functionality.
While this specific guide doesn’t directly cover activating video in motion, understanding the coding process for other features offers valuable insight. The principle is similar: access the relevant control module (likely the MMI or infotainment system) through VCDS and modify specific adaptation channels. Searching online forums dedicated to Audi or VCDS can provide more specific instructions on enabling video in motion for your particular A5 model year.
Several successful coding modifications are detailed below, demonstrating the power and versatility of VCDS:
Successful OBDEleven Coding Changes on an Audi RS5 (B9.5)
These modifications, while performed on an RS5, often apply to the A5 as they share similar platforms and control modules:
Lighting Modifications:
-
Scandinavian DRLs: Activates the taillights along with the daytime running lights (DRLs). This improves visibility in all conditions.
-
Disable DRL Wink: Instead of completely turning off the DRL on the side with an active turn signal, this modification dims the DRL. Note: This may also result in the taillights being constantly illuminated due to the Scandinavian DRL setting.
Convenience Features:
-
Easy Entry/Exit: Automatically moves the driver’s seat back when the car is parked and the ignition turned off, facilitating easier entry and exit. Returns the seat to the driving position upon starting the car.
-
Adjustable Turn Signal Count: Customizes the number of blinks when the turn signal stalk is lightly tapped. The default is three blinks, with a maximum setting of five.
Sound Adjustments:
-
Soundaktor Volume Control: Allows adjustment of the artificial engine sound generated by the Soundaktor system. Set the value to 0 to completely disable the Soundaktor.
-
Welcome Sound Customization: Enables customization of the sound played when the MMI (Multi Media Interface) starts up. The user can select different sounds or even disable the welcome sound entirely through the MMI settings. This particular user customized welcome and exit tones.
Other Modifications:
- Disable Headlamp Washers: Deactivates the automatic headlamp washing feature. This can be useful in areas with harsh winters to prevent freezing.
Beyond OBDEleven, more advanced modifications, such as laser and matrix headlight activation and removing orange side markers, were performed using other methods, potentially including VCDS.
While enabling Audi A5 Video In Motion Vcds is not explicitly covered here, these examples illustrate how VCDS can be used to personalize your Audi A5. Always remember to research thoroughly and proceed cautiously when modifying vehicle settings using diagnostic tools. Incorrect coding can lead to malfunctions or even damage to vehicle systems. Consulting online forums and communities dedicated to Audi and VCDS can provide valuable information and guidance.
