What do you mean by service data? When it's due to be serviced? If so why would you want to reset that?

I am always willing to assist with VCDS mods. I am Essex/Herts/N London way.

In the display you have time till service is due by date and time ..this needs to be reset (SRI reset) but on the new Mk7 I can not enter any details with the vagcom using 12.12 and as this model is not out in th USA yet they do not have a vehicle to play with so I`m buggerd

Hi,

I have a weird situ here after applying some of the tweaks.

Locking/Unlocking confirmation via Honk has been activated, and been using this without a problem.
yesterday, I used the spare key to lock/unlock the car and there wasn't any sound at all. Then, I switched back to the original key for locking/unlocking, I could hear the honk.

Does it mean that I have to use the spare key to re-do the tweak again?

Thanks,

Interesting. I know that the keys do "store" individual user settings, such as the climate control temperature. The lock/unlock beep must be another one. So I'd suggest unlocking the car with the spare key, going into the Car settings on the radio and enabling the "beep" for that spare key.

Do you get a tick box to turn off the bleep on the car user menus (like you do on the Mk.6 after activating it)?

Yes! It's buried in the "Car" settings menu somewhere, probably under locking/unlocking settings.

You’ll have to tick that box with the other key in – the keys remember settings during their sessions only, so you and the wife can have 2 keys that each set up the car completely differently. Has been this way with keys for at least 8 years on the foldable fob type key.

Anyone got hold of a BW45 car yet to see what the long coding is to fold/unfold mirrors on lock/unlock and determine whether it is a software only change?
