I’m trying to perform this function using a bluetooth obdII and an OBD

achieve this, or if there’s a Android app that provides an interface like

You are most likely using a universal OBD2 interface (ELM327).

Those devices are able to connect only with the ECU module to
read error codes, reset engine indicator and view some engine
parameters.
To perform this procedure you need a interface that
communicates in CAN standard.

I have exactly the same problem: I’m able to establish the
connection normally with VCDS and I have already coded few
features. Everything seems to be working normally, but why am I
not able to enable the access to hidden menu? I have tried with
the procedure mentioned here.

When I scroll to channel 6, by default it shows the value 0. Read –

button is grey, so I can’t push it. I can change the value to 1, press
test and save. After this the read –button works, but zero remains
as a stored value. What could be the problem?

I have the latest VCDS software, original RossTech -cable and my

car is Audi A6 C7.

Jaska says:
January 22, 2016 at 11:49 AM

The reason was that my Audi has MMI 3G RMC (low). You have to
change channel 5.

Press Car and the press Menu, and keep them hold until the Menu
appears.

Next problem is that I want to activate the ambient light adjustments,

but the hidden menu is different in that MMI and I haven’t been able to
find ”car” or “cardevicelist” from there. Any ideas?
