I have been able to turn off lane assist in my 8.5 using Carista, I set it as remembering it’s last state, but I have also had connection issues with OBDeleven and Carista, sometimes it connects and allows me to view individual modules, and sometimes not, it seems to be a case of try and try again. I’ve not actually tried VCDS as I have no VINs remaining, and as I have the option of using the other platforms I’ve not purchased more. I was an early adopter of Carista years ago when it was a low one off cost, so have grandfather rights of unlimited full use, hence why I have been using both that and OBDeleven.

I have those "Grandfather rights" on OBD11 with a lifetime Pro subscription, but it seems to do almost nothing on FL Audi. I wonder if there's anyone around Newcastle with Carista I could meet up with and try out?
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....
