6:32 you don't have to change any programing to stop the "bonging". Simply press one of the arrows on the rocker switch (left) on your steering wheel ...and the bonging stops.

Really thank you, im subing now. Im looking for a A6 this is very helpfull for when i have the car.

@vitodinunno5962 9 месяцев назад

Nice video and nice car, i like the tdi badge, makes the car even more sleeper look. Btw it would awesome to retrofit remote start.

@pdservices6681 Год назад

To stop the start stop working put less pressure on the brake pedal when you come to a stop, it won’t activate the start stop if it is on.

@gurjkullar6740 Год назад

Great video. About to take the plunge and try the CarPlay update. Just wanted to benchmark your system to piece of mind. I’m running MHI2_ER_AU57x_S2519. Do you recall what software version you were running before the update ? Thanks in advance.

@joetang9672 Год назад

I did the tailgate remote closing on my C7 A6 Avant pretty much as soon as I got the car! Love VCDS!! 👍

Very useful video, thank you. (To stop the BONGING, just press the OK button on the steering wheel?)

Would these changes work on a 2015 s7 c7.5? If so would you be able to do them ?

Whilst I have another VAG branded cae, I am going to look in to what changes I can make that would either add features or make things better.

@callumhoskins4028 Год назад

You can defiantly get rid of the open door bong, I have on my S3

@pdservices6681 Год назад

Don’t get rid of the seatbelt warning, it is quite good on the RS6 C7, it bongs quietly once, if you keep going it bongs a couple of times, if you still keep going it bongs continuous. If you intend not to wear your seatbelt, just get a nice carbon fibre seatbelt buckle and push it into the stalk.

@98f5 11 месяцев назад

The sensor broke in my c7 a7 and it bongs continuously but once i press a button on the steering wheel it stops. My q7 dinging is ear splitting

Great video this. I had been looking to upgrade to Carplay and the link near the end did the job. Just make sure that the file/folder is exactly as shown in 3.24 of Mr Fix video. Subscribe added.

@volkswizard Год назад

Thanks for the feedback. There was indeed a bit of detail missing from the Mr Fix video like how to format SD card as Fat32 when modern windows ls 64 but it’s all on web. One near mistake I made was forgetting head unit will shut off after a certain amount of time but luckily it didn’t mess it up

Well done Andrew a really interesting video as ever and amazing what you can actually do with the coding I wish Volkswagen had done that with the power boot it’s a bugbear of mine with it and would be so much better and I also agree with rear wash wipe in reverse I grit my teeth when it does in the icy weather I wish lane assist could be set like stop start sometimes I get fed up on rural roads Keep up the hard work looking forward to see the mods on the rs6!

Interesting video. Ever thought of re visiting some of the cars you’ve supplied/owned to get a true long term review?

@volkswizard Год назад

Thanks Dennis. That’s not a bad idea, just has to make sense from a business perspective now RU-vid is my only income and that will largely depend on the car and story behind it

@@volkswizard My R Estate I bought from you wouldn’t be a bad start! Your initial impressions when you bought it and the reasons you sold it. I’ve now evaluated it over the last two fantastic years. Best car I’ve ever owned and a complete joy every time I get behind the wheel. It drives better now than when it did when I acquired it! You should give it a try now!

The bonging stops if you press the left hand steering wheel roller button or either left or right arrow buttons.

Great video and amazing timing - I bought my RS6 C7.5 last month; time to get the laptop out!

@volkswizard Год назад

Excellent! Just a few tweaks and it's close to perfection!

@sadsismint Год назад

Same here! I think there's quite a lot of refinements it lacks compared to a newer car though! Do you find it a little squirrelly under full acceleration?

@XCMantis Год назад

@@sadsismint honestly, I've felt it was very planted - but I came from a RWD Giulia Quadrifoglio, so the Quattro system is utterly brilliant as far as I'm concerned 🤣

@sadsismint Год назад

@@XCMantis Offf one day i'll try and Alpha! (i hope). tbh, considering if i maybe have a bearing going, as it cruises pretty nicely up till 70 then feels a little droney. I love the car, But there's certainly quite a few niggles with it over something more recent. I've found it very much feels like a car that was created 10 years ago now :S

That’s wizard - putting your IT skills to good effect. Great that you can unlock these features.

@volkswizard Год назад

Thanks Sean. When I got into cars the diagnostic thing was just taking off which suited me, helped me get through the dark mk4 days when so much went wrong yet with Mk2s and 3s they were simple and largely reliable. Started using VAG COM as soon as 2003, think first job was locating a dodgy ABS sensor on a Mk3 VR6. Paid for itself very quickly!

@roryb6752 Год назад

Really interesting and informative video. Thanks (Good to see that you're now at nearly 46k subscribers 👍)

@eoinbarrett6494 Год назад

Love the content of your channel. FYI, on the A6 the ‘bonging’ noise that arises when the driver door is open can be silenced by using the left or right arrow on the steering wheel control button.

@volkswizard Год назад

Glad you like the content :)Thanks for the info! That's very useful, I am sure the bonging is there for a purpose but would be nice, especially when filming to be able to shut it up ;)

@JimboJammy Год назад

@lenep9985 Год назад

Brilliant content....that interior is so much better than the new rs6..buttons dials and a fold away screen. Its kinda sad that these older cars have so much more capabilties that the owners are unaware of. Why build in all those functions, and not have them all on.

@@marcuswootton5748 Ah, so you're right! I wonder what's happened to it! Maybe try again in another day or two? There's a Github page linked on the mr.fix videos too for MIB (most incredible bash), which is some sort of custom software installation that allows you to do 'extra stuff' as well as update the software i think. I've not tried that yet, but it might be worth checking out there to see if anyone has shared links to drop boxes for the update software or had discussions on what's going on perhaps?

@sadsismint Год назад

worst comes to worst, I still have the SD cards loaded with the software update and another with the latest maps.

OBD11 has impressed me as well. I've done a fair bit on my ED40 with it and there's plenty more in there too.

@richweston6202 Год назад

Andrew what are your thoughts on " OBD11" I've not used it , seems a very popular alternative to VCDS?

@volkswizard Год назад

OBD11 looks OK, I've never used it but it seems to have leapfrogged VCDS when it comes to consumers. Don't you have to use credits to do things? If so that's a very clever business idea. They get passive revenue while consumer gets the job done without paying a garage or buying the understandably much more costly proper diagnostic systems.

@richweston6202 Год назад

@volkswizard ah I didn't know about credits! As you say very clever

@TheDarkhorse82 Год назад

@volkswizard you only need credits for the "easy coding" which is basically having the ability turn adaptations on and off easily like a toggle, but if you're capable of doing long coding you dont need credits.

@wtdvwg40 Год назад

You can code the bongs out when the drivers door is open.

@volkswizard Год назад

Ok cool, my only worry is that it’s there for a reason and without it I or anyone else might have some sort of mishap but just need to exercise usual caution I guess

@wtdvwg40 Год назад

It’s no more of a safety factor like the boot not closing on the key. I’ve had it coded out for 2 years and not had any trouble. It was super annoying when warming the car up.

I think my MkV GTI is too old at coming up for 15 years 90k kms. To change the head unit. I still play my six stacker CD player. Mums 1999 Subaru has a cassette player in it. And less than 100k kilometers on the clock. Maybe a new car with new tech one day.?

@sadsismint Год назад

One of the MOST annoying things that the car does to me, is the 'auto play radio when turning on'. I've had to set the thing to AUX so that it doesn't play anything super loud when turning on, without any tweaking yet.

@volkswizard Год назад

The older RNS-E always used to play the radio loud on start up - this one does play something but it's just a whisper, maybe it's configurable through the head unit easily? I'll have a poke around👍

@sadsismint Год назад

@@volkswizard I think there's something in the green or red menus perhaps or via a coding, i feel like it was to set the 'min volume' or something like that... it is possible but its a very annoying thing to have to code out. I went from a 2017 RS3 to a 2017 RS6 and the RS6 actually feels quite old in many ways compared. I has more tech, but there's a lot about it that really isn't as well refined. Could certainly discuss more about the differences in detail!
