Are you sure you have a recent VCDS-Lite? It should go into measuring blocks exactly the same as the full version.
![]() As for the cruise control, that could be the stalk, I know for a fact mine is dodgy and I've seen many comments over the years from others having the same opinion. Cruise happens to be in the same area so I looked at that as well today and I could see that operating + or - functions on my stalk would occasionally just return a status of "off". That is consistent with what I find when driving in that it will sometimes just disengage randomly and quite often when I try to change the set speed. I think it's the slider switch that is the main culprit as the "set" button on the end seems relatively reliable.

Adjusted the switch, wasn't pressed properly with pedal released. Pushed in "one click" and now de-activates properly when brake is released. Test drive tomorrow, fingers crossed. ![]() |

Maybe yours has been replaced with a newer version and whoever did it hadn't followed the process correctly?

Good news. Drive to work this morning, no lights on the dash and cruise control worked flawlessly.

Excellent.
![]() I just found this comment about measuring blocks in the online VCDS-Lite manual (https://www.ross-tech.com/vcds-lite/...sblocks.html): Shareware Limitation(s): • You can only view groups 001-025. Groups 000 and 026-255 are blocked So maybe you can't actually look at the brake switch measurements in group 66 using a third-party cable? ![]() (I used to have VCDS-Lite but it was a fully-registered version that I paid for, so had fewer limitations.)

I should probably spend $99 on the "home mechanic" version as let's be honest here, I'm not driving anything else but Audis
