Essential OBDeleven Tweaks for Your VCDS ID4
This comprehensive list details various coding adjustments you can make to your ID4 using OBDeleven. Remember to always back up your original settings before making any changes.
Enhancing Safety and Driving Assistance
-
Travel Assist Activation: Enable Travel Assist, a semi-autonomous driving feature, if your ID4 has Lane Assist, Sign Recognition, and Cruise Control. Note: Due to the lack of capacitive steering wheel, you’ll need to provide input every 15 seconds. Consider disabling Emergency Assist to avoid unintended braking. This involves long coding in control unit A5:

Lane Assist Memory: Tired of constantly reactivating Lane Assist? Enable the memory function to retain your preferred setting (on or off) after restarting the vehicle (Control Unit A5, Long Coding,
Configuration_for_lane_departure_warning_kl15). -
Automatic High Beam: Activate automatic high beams for standard headlights (non-matrix) by adjusting settings in Control Units A5 and 19. This feature automatically switches between high and low beams based on surrounding light conditions.
-
Light Sensitivity Adjustment: Fine-tune the sensitivity of your automatic high beams by modifying “RLS night sensitivity” in Control Unit 09. Increase the “day lux” value to make the high beams activate earlier.
-
Autobahn Headlight Activation Speed: Lower the speed at which the “autobahn headlights” (slight upward beam adjustment at high speeds) activate. Adjust the “RLS_Lights_for_autobahn” setting in Control Unit 09.

Additional Tips for Your VCDS ID4
- Silent Mode/Disable E-Sound Generator: Remove the 7.5 amp fuse in the ‘F12’ position of the fuse box under the hood to temporarily disable the e-sound generator. Warning: This may affect pedestrian safety at low speeds. Always reinsert the fuse when driving on public roads.
- Drift Mode (Disable Traction Control): Removing the 40 amp fuse in the ‘F15’ position of the underhood fuse box will disable traction control. Warning: This is for off-road use only and is extremely dangerous on public roads. Reinsert the fuse immediately after off-road use.
- Quick Seat Heating Toggle: Simultaneously press both temperature buttons on the same side of the climate control panel to quickly activate or deactivate seat heating.
Remember to consult your owner’s manual and proceed with caution when making any modifications to your vehicle. These VCDS ID4 tweaks can enhance your driving experience, but safety should always be the priority. Enjoy customizing your ID4!
