Car Info & Procedures
Audi A4/S4 B5/8D VAG-COM Info
Ross-Tech is not responsible for any damage or problems that may result from following these instructions.
They are to be used at your own risk.
Specific Modules:
01-Engine: -- KWP-1281
VAG-COM works well with all engines available in the U.S. and most engines that users have tested in
overseas markets.
[Select]
[01 engine]
[Adaptation - 10]
Enter channel 01
Enter an adaptation value between 124 and 132
[Save]
[Select]
[01 - Engine]
[Measuring Blocks - 08]
Enter Group 060 (may be Group 098 on some cable-throttle cars)
[Go!]
[Switch to basic settings]
Once you do this you will see the top right display say ADP RUN. The TB
adaptation is being done as soon as you switch to basic settings. You will see the values
change and hear the TB cycle for the first few seconds then it will stop. Leave it in basic mode
for about 30 seconds, then switch back to normal settings and you're all set.
Be sure not to touch the accelerator and make sure the engine is NOT running when
you do this!

Recoding Tiptronic:
In the newer cars, there are coding options for "Old" vs "New" "Tiptronic strategy". The "New"
stategy (introduced in 2000 I think) is much more "automatic" than the old. To get the "Old
Tiptronic strategy" where it won't downshift unless you come to a complete stop, I believe you
have to change the coding in the following manner:
[Select]
[02 - Auto Trans]
[Recode - 07]
Enter the coding below
[Do It!]
0 or 1 - "New-style Tiptronic"
2 - "Old-style Tiptronic"
So, for a USA model A4 quattro, if the original coding is 00002, and you want to change to the
"Old-style Tiptronic" strategy, change the coding to 00022.
PS: As always, you play with stuff like this at your own risk. The "old" strategy is documented
by VW only for "testing" and they explictly say that the car should be recoded the way it was
before giving it back to the customer.

Look at the first two digits in the coding. Add the values for the options together to get the
correct coding.
00 - No available equipment
+01 - Brakepad wear sensor warning active
+02 - Seatbelt warning active
+04 - Washer fluid level warning active (may only work with pre-2000 models)
+16 - Navigation System (non-USA models)
4 - 4-cylinder
6 - 6-cylinder
So, if you want to have Seatbelt warning and washer fluid warning only in a 1999 Canadian A4
2.8, (add 00+02+04 = 06),3,6,2 = 06362.

[35 - Cent. Locks]
[Recode - 07]
Enter the coding below
[Do It!]
S4, A4 1998+ with Concert/Symphony radio, anti-theft system and keyless entry

-04 One touch unlock of all 4 doors and trunk
-1024 Remove horn honk when arming
+32 Auto lock/unlock of doors (Doors lock at 15 mph and unlock when key is removed)
So, if you want to have a 1999 A4 with Concert radio and anti-theft system and keyless entry,
and you want to add window control with the remote along with auto-lock, then:
add 03340+64+32= 03436
37-Navigation: -- KWP-1281
VAG-COM Works fine.
