B8 RS4 Vag-Com Mods !

Post by Ricky » Fri May 16, 2014 8:54 am

Would anyone who has successfully completed any vag-com mods for their B8 RS4 please post instructions here on how to do it ?

I'll be attempting the video in motion mod today and if it works I will obviously post instructions. All other mods welcome........

Video in motion sorted......

VIM (Video In Motion)


The first step is to retrieve the serial number of the Navigation Unit.

For MMI 3G go to:
[5F - Information Electr.]
You will find the serial number by clicking on the Advanced ID - 1A on the controller screen in VCDS. Generic screen shot shown below for reference.

Automatic VIM Generator can be found in the link below and is needed for the next stage :

After retrieving your Serial number enter it in the blank box in the vim generator link and click the "Generate" button. You will be presented with a primary (Code1) and secondary (Code 2) to use. Always start with Code 1.

Serial Number :
Code 1:
Code 2:

Use the security code you generated along with the instructions below.
Instructions 3G:


1. Select control module 5F in VAG-COM/VCDS
2. Select "Advanced ID - 1A"
3. Decode the value from the "Serial number" field. If there is more than one serial number field, use the first one! (Use the VIM decoder)
4. Select "Security Access - 16"
5. Enter the login-code decoded from Serial Number. (Enter code 1 obtained from the VIM generator)
6. Press "Do It!". If you receive a "code not valid" message try the alternate code. If neither code works it's likely that your control module doesn't support VIM adaptation.
7. Select "Adaptation - 10"
8. Select channel 48
9. Press read
10. Set the value to 255
11. Press test
12. Press save
13. Press "Done, Go Back", close the controller and quit the software
14. Now reset the MMI.
This is done by pushing down the Menu – Scroll Wheel and top right menu buttons at the same time. Press all three at the same time then release. The MMI will reboot and you should have video in motion !!!!


This is the first time I have actually used my bag com to change something rather than just a scan of the system. Pretty cool me thinks ! Now what else can I do thats worth while ?

I have not gotten into this myself BUT, when had B8 S4, I liked ‘an other’ Audi Forum, which I’ll post here because it does have a good B8 Vag Com Thread that I’m sure much of carries over codes to the B8 RS4. [Administrator don’t flame me for posting separate Site / Forum link ;-) ] …….
