Default VCDS system/lead

Hi Nollywood,

I have a legal VCDS cable and software. I am in Warfield, near Bracknell. Around over the weekend if you want to pop over. About 25 miles from Heathrow. RG42 3UA, 07879 432887.

Just finished fixing my phone mic!

Nollywood will be along at some point, when he gets home I suspect!

We managed to sort some of the issues with missing menu items and a complete lack of soft coding of module 7

Also updated the firmware but we've ended up with component protection kicking in on the radio module which may or may not be linked to the loss of sound from the right hand speakers?! Not sure why CP has kicked in or if the issues are linked but Nollywood has the before and after vag-com logs to post up so hopefully someone can advise.

I suspect until a dealer visit to clear CP we won't know if they're linked problems or not....

Did a nav update too and that's working well, although there's a stored DVD rear error

Adrian

A big thank you to Adrian, who pretty much devoted his Sunday to sorting out my car. An even bigger thank you to Mrs. Adrian too.

As has been stated, Component Protection has been activated, so I'm looking at a trip to my local Audi dealership. I've been reading up on CP, and the symptoms I'm getting are typical.

I found this on the Audi resource site:

"When updating the firmware to 5570 it is possible that the CP will kick in, usually causing the bose amp to run on one side only."

That is one of the symptoms I'm getting. I also have:

1) Loss of Navi turn-by-turn in DIS.
2) Loss of CD / radio data in DIS.
3) Climate settings for passenger and driver have swapped sides - at least according to the display.

I'll post the logs tomorrow at some point. But overall, I'm happy to get my settings back in MMI, especially suspension settings.

Glad Adrian could help you out and sorry I was no use last weekend.
At least I've learned some limitations of the (paid for!) VCDS setup I have.

The left/right Climate thing is just a label problem. It needs to be told it's in a right-hand drive car again.

Mine went into CP, but cleared itself after running the disks again and doing an error clear on VCDS.

We tried rerunning the discs through and it didn't find any missed updates. Not sure if you can force the updates to reinstall? Would be good if you could and worth a try.

As to why the menu items disappeared we're still none the wiser. It seems module 7 had lost it's coding completely but how that's possible I have no idea!
