Rather than starting a new thread, I thought I'd digress here.....

Well, I finally finished fixing most of the niggling problems that have been bugging me since I bought my W12 - Air suspension sorted, New brake pads all round, new TPMS batteries and tyres, replaced broken EPB switch, replaced "picked at" hazard switch panel and put in some new floor mats.

Now I can get on with the little things....

While browsing the hidden menu in order to reinstate the TPMS, which had disappeared after the battery ran right down, I noticed that the list of installed equipment in the diagnostic settings submenu (0x0, plus others) showed rather a lot of empty tick boxes. Seeing as my car was ordered by Audi ME as a VIP transport, I assume all the bells and whistles that were available at the time were installed but don't know how to check what's there and what isn't and/or what I can safely enable.

the empty boxes were...

acc
interior lighting extended
aps front
aps rear
reserved
fingerprint (installed but not working)
seat memory rear
mfl
swa
ldw
rvd
neuer fpi
aps
bordcomputer
auxillary heating
charisma
stereo aux
no v threshold car
rc air conditioning

Can anyone decode the above list and/or advise which ones I can safely play with?

Many thanks.

I'd guess acc is adaptive cruise control (radar in front grille).

Charisma "may" be something to do with default settings for some options such as Drive Select (suspension default setting?)?
See this thread, if someone can translate......
http://forums.subdriven.com/showthre...VE-SELECT-CARS

Indeed I found this quote on a Rumanian web site: "menu to enable "Charisma" (the code-name for Audi Drive Select)"

Along with lots of other interesting struff that many of you will probably know: http://www.clubaudi.ro/audi-a4-b8-20...i-vcds-b8.html
