Correct the fuel consumption display
If the displayed consumption differs from what you actually fill up, the trip computer reading can be calibrated.
Hidden features and retrofits for the Audi A3 (8P/8PA/8P7) 2003–2013
48 features for the Audi A3 (8P/8PA/8P7) 2003–2013: what it does, duration and price from. Workshop in Waddinxveen, remote across the Netherlands.
Final compatibility is confirmed at diagnosis.
Display 6
Digital speed on the radio display
Your speed is shown digitally on the radio or MMI screen, alongside the analogue speedometer.
Condition: Concert II+ radio
Show the gear number in D and S
The cluster also shows the current gear in D and S, not just the selector position.
Condition: S tronic/automatic
Speed limit from the navigation map
The navigation system shows the speed limit from its map data on screen. Handy as a reminder; road signs still apply.
Map data may be outdated; road signs take priority.
Condition: RNS-E
Needle sweep at start-up
At start-up the speedometer and rev counter needles sweep fully out and back once, just like on sports cars.
Only visible with analogue gauges.
Parking distance on the screen
Besides the beeps, the infotainment screen shows a picture of the car with the distance to obstacles around it.
Requires parking sensors; on some models front and rear.
Condition: Parking system with RNS-E
Lighting 14
Ambient lighting setup
More colours and your own brightness for the mood lighting in the doors and dashboard, selectable on the infotainment screen.
Only if ambient lighting is fitted from the factory.
Condition: Ambient light LEDs fitted
Coming home follow-me-home time
After you get out, the lights stay on longer or switch on automatically so you can reach the front door safely. A wider time range becomes available in the menu.
Cornering lights via the fog lamps
When turning or steering at low speed, the fog light on that side switches on, so you see where you are going in the dark.
Only with front fog lamps.
Condition: Front fog lights
Daytime running lights – adjust in menu
The daytime running lights appear as a setting in the vehicle menu, so their behaviour can be chosen deliberately. The final setting is agreed in the workshop.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.
Condition: Facelift cluster
DRL while indicating – adjust
You choose whether the LED daytime running light on the indicator side dims, switches off or stays fully lit.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.
Condition: LED DRL
Daytime running lights – off with parking brake
The daytime running lights go out when the parking brake is applied, for example while waiting on a driveway. They come back on when you drive off.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.
Tail lights with DRL – adjust
The tail lights come on together with the daytime running lights, so you are more visible from behind at dusk and in rain.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.
Daytime running lights via the fog lamps
On cars without separate daytime running lights, the fog lamps can work dimmed as DRL. Be seen better without low beam.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.
Condition: Cars without LED DRL
Fog lights with high beam
The fog lights can stay on when you switch on the high beam.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.
Condition: Front fog lights
Headlamp washers less often
The headlamp washers no longer spray every time you wash the windscreen, but only after a number of times. That saves washer fluid.
Condition: Headlamp washers
Motorway light – activation speed
Sets from which speed the headlights automatically switch to motorway mode for a longer beam.
Condition: Light/rain sensor
Poor-weather / all-weather lights
Releasing the fog-like dip or all-weather mode on matrix or LED headlamps that already have that mode in software. Without the right lamps we will not code an extra beam.
Extra light when reversing
In the dark the fog or cornering lamps come on when you reverse, so you see more while manoeuvring.
Condition: Front fog lights
Coming/leaving home with fog lights
When unlocking or locking, the fog lights or rear lights light up as well as the headlights, so you see more around the car in the dark.
Only with factory-fitted fog lights.
Comfort 6
Auxiliary heater: pre-warm the engine
The auxiliary heater warms not only the cabin but also the engine, and the run time can be set.
Only with a factory auxiliary heater.
Condition: Factory auxiliary heater fitted
Comfort-indicator flash count
A short tap on the indicator stalk gives the number of flashes you prefer, for example five instead of three when changing lanes.
Windows and sunroof via the key
Holding the button on the key opens or closes all windows (and the sunroof) at once. Nice for airing the car on hot days.
Close windows when it rains
If a window or the sunroof is left open while the car is parked and locked, the car closes it automatically as soon as the rain sensor detects rain.
Only works with a rain sensor; we check this first.
Condition: Rain sensor fitted
Rear wiper in reverse
Choose whether the rear wiper sweeps automatically when the front wipers are on and you select reverse, or not.
Extra wipe after washing
A few seconds after washing, the wipers make one more sweep so no drips are left running down the windscreen.
Convenience 5
Doors locking from a set speed
The doors lock automatically once you drive off above a low speed and unlock again when you switch off the engine.
Mirror dip on reverse
When you select reverse, the passenger mirror tilts down so you can see the kerb. It returns once you drive off.
Depends on mirror and door module version.
Service interval setting
After servicing we reset the service reminder correctly and set the right interval (fixed or flexible).
SFD release for protected modules
Newer VAG models only allow coding after an online release per module. We arrange that session, for which the car must be online; if the release does not come through the function cannot be coded and we charge nothing for the attempt.
Start-stop – remember last setting
The car remembers whether you had switched the start-stop system off, so you do not need to press the button on every trip. The final setting is agreed together.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.
Condition: Start-stop fitted
Access 2
Unlock the driver door first
One press unlocks only the driver door, a second press the whole vehicle. Safer in car parks and for vans with cargo in the back.
Doors unlock at switch-off or in P
After auto-locking, the doors unlock again as soon as you remove the key or, with DSG, select P.
Audio 1
More sensitive hands-free microphone
The sensitivity of the phone microphone is adjusted so you are easier to understand on hands-free calls.
Condition: Factory Bluetooth
Sound 1
Acoustic lock confirmation
A short tone when locking and/or unlocking confirms that the car really is locked.
Requires alarm siren or suitable horn.
Climate 1
Longer rear window and mirror heating
The rear window heating stays on longer and can work together with the mirror heating if you like. Useful in winter.
Assistance 1
Hill hold – hold longer
Hill-start assist holds the car a little longer when pulling away on a slope, which is especially pleasant with a manual gearbox.
Only within the factory settings.
Safety 3
Brake lights flash in an emergency stop
In an emergency stop the brake lights flash rapidly so traffic behind you is warned earlier.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.
Seatbelt reminder – adjust
The seatbelt reminder can be set differently, for example for work where you often get in and out briefly. We discuss which setting suits you in the workshop.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.
Tyre pressure monitoring activation
The indirect tyre pressure system (using the ABS sensors) is enabled and calibrated. You get a warning when a tyre loses pressure.
Only possible with a suitable ABS control unit.
Condition: Compatible ABS unit
Performance 3
DCC damping in Individual
Giving the adaptive dampers their own setting in Individual instead of tying them to Comfort or Sport. Only works with factory DCC; you cannot code this onto passive dampers.
Laptimer and performance measurement
A stopwatch for lap times in the instrument cluster, operated with the steering-wheel buttons. Fun for track days.
Intended for track use.
Lighter or heavier steering
Power steering is set to another characteristic: lighter for town or heavier for a more direct feel.
Only within the factory preset options.
Condition: Electromechanical steering
Retrofit 5
AUX input retrofit
An AUX socket is fitted and activated in the radio or MMI so you can connect a phone or player with a cable.
Cars without an MMI music interface may need another solution.
Condition: Concert/Symphony radio
Cruise control retrofit
A cruise control stalk or steering wheel buttons are fitted and the function is enabled in the engine control unit. Relaxed driving on long trips.
Not every engine software supports this; we check in advance.
LED number plate lights without error
After fitting LED number plate lights, bulb monitoring is adjusted so no "bulb failure" message appears.
Use only E-approved LED lamps.
LED tail lights retrofit
Original LED or facelift tail lights are fitted and coded so everything works without error messages.
Original E-approved lamps only.
Condition: Facelift lights on pre-facelift car
Multifunction wheel and paddle shifters
A multifunction steering wheel with paddle shifters is fitted and coded, so you control radio, phone and gears from the wheel.
Airbag work by the workshop only.
Condition: S tronic gearbox
