I played with my cable after lunch, morning was bonkers.

I too have a stored low key fob battery alarm stored and something about XM receiver having low voltage :whocares: so I cleared them both.

This the only change I made for now, gotta get back to support requests in the plant.

// Key Fob Active While Running (Lock While Running)

Adaptation

Control unit: 09 Central Electrics

Name: Access control

Figured out the number of blinks in the lane change turn signal. Did some research and found that you have to ho into the menus in the HU and do a factory reset to the lights submenu.

4 flashes now. :like:

:nice:

I like three, but it's cool to be different. Is there a two blink option?

Negative. None, 3, 4, and 5 are the options. I think 3 is a bit short, 5 is too long, and 4 is :muah:

TBH, :scrooge:

I just wanted to activate some features like 4 blink passing turn signal, windows up/down with key fob, fog lights as cornering lights, fogs stay on with high beams, and a few others, etc, and Carista was the cheapest way to :doit:

$30 for the dongle and one month free subscription.

I get that.... I still have a knock off VAG COM cable that [user not found] gave me back in the day..... I want to see if I can change some settings on my sons Audi but frankly am a bit nervous because I have never reinstalled the software since changing laptops..... I might just opt for something like OBD 11 or Carista to be safe....

Depending on how much - or how little - you want to do, Carista might fill the bill. It's really easy to use, synced perfectly with my phone every time, etc.

I've had an airbag light on in the dash since Monday night. No idea why. Every time I start the car I hope it goes away but it hasn't. Guess I gotta make a :dillerman: appointment.

Yes but usually with 100k plus miles of scissoring the wheel. It may be something else though, but this tends to be the most common failure point.

You still got a warranty ?

Yea, I didn't think they failed so soon. It's barely got 18k miles on it.

It's a 2019 so I still have 4 years of People's Warranty left on it. Just gotta find the time to get it to the :dillerman: Bleh.

Possibly. I've never had that happen in 40 years of driving in Chicago winters, but I guess there's a first time for everything, :iono:
