| Module | Feature | Coding / Adapt | Value |
|--------|---------|----------------|-------|
| 09 | DRL wink with turn signal | Leuchte4TFL LB4 – Lichtfunktion E | Blinken links aktiv (but can cause errors) |
| 09 | Rear fog light as brake light | Leuchte26NSL – Lichtfunktion C | Brake light (careful – may fail TÜV) |
| 5F | Enable Android Auto / CarPlay (if supported) | Smartphone interface | Active (requires SW update if not present) |
| 03 – ABS | Electronic differential lock (XDS) – stronger | XDS | Strong (from Standard) |
If you only have 15 minutes, code these five crowd-favorites:
A3 8V Stemei.de coding list (German/English).Each light channel has:
Lasttyp, Lichtfunktion A–H, Dimmwert, Dimmdirection
Example – enable rear DRL (already in Scandinavia mode):
Leuchte23SL HLC10 → Lichtfunktion C 23 → Standlicht allgemein (Schlusslicht)
Dimmwert → 100
Fog as CH/LH:
Leuchte12NL LB45 → Lichtfunktion G 12 → Coming Home oder Leaving Home aktiv
Dimmwert AB 12 → 100
Note: "byte X bit Y" means change bit Y in byte X (LSB=bit0). Tools show bytes in hex.
Enable/disable DRL behaviour (LED daytime running lights)
Enable mirror fold on lock/unlock
Enable auto-lock above speed
Enable seatbelt chime mute / sensorless start
Enable ACC (adaptive cruise) advanced features
Enable digital speed display in cluster / remove mph conversion
Enable mirror tilt on reverse (for kerb view)
VW/Audi OEM app profiles or MMI adaptations (e.g., Apple CarPlay, Android Auto)
Disable start/stop
Increase volume from phone microphone / enable voice activation options
Enable rear fog light single/dual, change DRL dimming behavior

Additional Information
Conclusion
This report provides a comprehensive list of coding options and configurations for various control units in the Audi A3 (8V). It is essential to consult the vehicle's documentation and manufacturer's guidelines before making any modifications or coding changes. Improper coding or modifications can lead to safety risks, void warranties, or cause damage to the vehicle. If you are unsure about any coding or configuration options, consult a qualified Audi technician or the manufacturer's support resources.
Audi A3 8V (2013–2020), "developing" or activating features involves using diagnostic tools like VCDS (VAG-COM) or OBDeleven to access specific control modules. These modifications, often called "adaptations" or "long coding," unlock hidden factory settings that were either disabled by default or reserved for higher trim levels. Popular Coding Features for Audi A3 8V 1. Instrumentation & Dashboard audi+a3+8v+coding+list
Needle Sweep (Staging): Causes gauge needles to sweep their full range when the ignition is turned on.
VCDS Path: Module 17 (Instruments) → Coding-07 → Long Coding Helper → Byte 1 → Enable Bit 0.
Laptimer & Oil Temperature: Adds a dedicated lap timer and real-time oil temperature display to the driver information system (DIS).
Refuel Quantity: Displays the estimated amount of fuel (in liters or gallons) needed to fill the tank. 2. Exterior Lighting & Mirrors HOW TO: AUDI REVERSE MIRROR DIP - Audi A3 A4 A5 A6 A7
This is a complete feature coding list for the Audi A3 8V (2012–2020, MQB platform).
The list is organized by control module (address word) in VCDS (Vag-Com) / OBD11 / ODIS format.
⚠️ Important:
- Always save a backup of original coding before changes.
- Some features require specific hardware (e.g., folding mirrors, rain/light sensor, high beam assist camera).
- Coding may vary by region, model year, and ECU software version.
