1.

Enabling Gauge Test/Needle Sweep

This will sweep the needles of the speedo and rev counter through their full range automatically
when you start the engine.
[Select]
[17 - Instruments]
[Coding - 07]
[Long Coding Helper]
Click on byte 1 and you'll see the selectable option: "Gauge Test/Needle Sweep active"
Check this option
[Do It!]

This produced expected results

2. Enabling Lap Timer

[Select]
[17 - Instruments]
[Coding - 07]
[Long Coding Helper]
Click on byte 1 and you'll see the selectable option: "Lap Timer active"
Check this option
[Do It!]

This made no apparent difference to the DIS options between the clocks. Maybe I just have to find
the right sequence to get to it?
Edit 07-09-12. Although this doesn't work on my car, it does on some. The Lap Timer option appears
in the DIS menu on page 2 when you press the * button on the steering wheel and scroll down. You
may be luckier than me and find it works on your car?

3. Kerb lighting
Illuminating the kerb when turning hard left or right at low speeds with dipped beam on, by turning
on the all-weather light on the relevant side of the car.
[Select]

[Long Coding Helper]
Click on byte 4 and enable bit 0
[Do It!]

I have now (finally) tested this works as expected. I needed a dark night and a quiet corner

4. Beep on lock
Chirp the alarm siren briefly when the alarm activates (ie all doors are closed and the car is locked)
[Select]
[46-Central Conv.]
[Coding - 07]
[Long Coding Helper]
Click on byte 1 and in bit 2 you'll see the selectable option: "Anti-Theft-System: Horn Confirmation

Check this option
[Do It!]

This produced expected results

5. Hidden menu
Enable access to the green engineering menu in the MMI
[Select]
[5F - Information Electr.]
[Adaptation - 10]
Select Channel 6 and Read
change the value from 0 to 1 then Test then Save
Reboot the MMI (Press MENU, central MMI knob and top right softkey)
To get to the Hidden Menu, press and hold the CAR and MENU buttons for a few seconds. You may
have to have a few attempts - if you don't press them at the exact same moment either CAR or
MENU activates. You know if you have done it right because the red LEDs in the buttons do not
illuminate.
WARNING!!!! BE CAREFUL!!! Do not mess with settings in the Hidden Menu unless you know what
you are doing. On earlier MMI versions, people managed to activate the bootloader menu and fried
their MMI. Use at your own risk. If in doubt, leave well alone!

This worked as expected.

6. Battery Meter.
Enter the Hidden Menu as in step 5 above.
Select Car
Select Carextdevicelist
Check "Battery"
Return
Select Carmenuoperation
Set "Battery" from 0 to 5
Return
Press CAR to exit the hidden menu
Reboot the MMI

Despite doing this, I could not find the battery meter displayed anywhere. I am a muppet though - it
may be lurking in a menu I haven't found yet

7. VIM
Video In Motion - prevent the car from suppressing DVD playback once the speed of the car rises
above 5mph
I used the same technique as in my C6 with MMI 3G. These are the steps I followed:
[Select]
[5F-Information Electr.]
[Advanced ID - 1A]
Make a note of the Serial Number
Go to Enable VIM TV-playback using VCDS/VAG-COM in your Audi MMI | trick77.com
Follow the link for MMI 3G
Enter your serial number into the input field
Make a note of the personal login code and the alternative login code it returns
[Security Access - 16]
Enter your personal login code.
[Do it!]
If you receive a "code not valid" message try the alternative code. If neither code works it's likely that
your control module doesn't support VIM adaptation.
[Adaptation - 10]
Select channel 48
Press read
Set the value from 0 to 255
Press test
Press save
Press "Done, Go Back"
Close VCDS and reboot your MMI as detailed in step 5 above

This works as expected.

8. Passenger door mirror dip on selecting reverse.

When reverse gear is selected, the passenger door mirror dips to show the kerb if the mirror control
knob is set to the passenger door mirror position. When driving forwards and exceeding 5mph or
when switching off the car, the passenger mirror returns to its original position. If the position of the
mirror is changed when dipped, this change is remembered the next time the mirror dips.

[Long Coding Helper]
Click on Byte 4 (5th one along from the left)
Set Bit 2 to "on"
[Do It!]

Full details of this mod are lower down in the thread - it is a little disconcerting at the moment
because VCDS has no information for the module and displays a warning when selecting Long Coding
Helper. This works as expected

9. Disabling seatbelt reminder chimes.

Turn off the annoying "Bing bong" when you move the car on the driveway without your seatbelt
fastened.
[Select]
