I've got aftermarket wheels (couple of sets I keep swapping round) so disabled the TPMS to get rid of the warning symbol. I didn't bother moving the actual sensors over to the new wheels, can't get a PSI reading out of the system so end up checking with my tyre guage anyway.

Ah cool. Makes sense.

Changed frequency of front and rear parking sensors so there is more difference between them, and increased their volume so they can be heard above a louder than OEM exhaust.

Whenever we go to France I put the adaptive headlights into Tourist mode, and back when we return.

So far from what I can remember I've used it to:

Reset learned fuel trims prior to my possession and after every service.
Erase all coded keys and recoded my keys to ensure absolute security.
Change parking sensor pitch and volumes to help differentiate the front and rear better.
Enable RS4 splash screen on original RNS-e.
Disable 2 button press unlocking (found it annoying).
Enable auto locking above 5mph.
Enable comfort closing from key remotes including sunroof.
Disable headlight washers for Summer time use, then re-enable for Winter/MOT.
Disable dribble wipe for windscreen.
Disable reverse gear selection window wipe.
Increase Coming Home Lights duration.
Enable Motorway 3 flash indicators.
Enable Parking Lights.
Code Ceramic Brakes to Vehicle.
Code a new MK2 2010+ RNS-e to Vehicle.
Code Bluetooth module to Vehicle.
Code AMI to Vehicle.
Ensure MAF is flowing enough air.
Trouble shoot TPMS sensors.
Trouble shoot faulty TPMS aerial
Trouble shoot main battery.
Reset fault codes due to the above battery issue.

Don't know about that mate.

It has been the best money I've ever spent on the cars though. Paid for itself multiple times over and will continue to do so, if I stay with VAG cars

Where abouts can you get the VCDS from ? anywhere in Essex ?

The manufacturers are Ross-Tech in the US http://store.ross-tech.com/shop/VCHUC.html, which is where I bought mine from, but you can also buy it from Gendan in the UK http://www.gendan.co.uk/product_VCHU.html

Make sure you get at least a HEX-USB+CAN lead for a B7 - as you need CAN plus dual K-line diagnostics on a B7.

Totally lost me mate.

I'll take a look on the links, thanks
