Yea, I saw that, I was really confused, and still am, why would he disable the *winking* if it's for his safety. Oh well, its his car. Also, why would car manufacturers have an option for that.
It’s there because some worry wort thought that if the DRL stayed on while the turn signal was running, other drivers wouldn’t see it. I’m yet to see any study proving that though, and i think it’s annoying so I’m turning that off on mine as well.
It is exactly for that reason. So now basically he's made it a lot harder for oncoming drivers to see what he wants to do (turn left or right). So may drivers seem to forget car indicators are to provide other drivers information not for the driver them selves.
He just said it will be harder to see, not impossible, but there is people who maybe won’t see and as you said should maybe not be on the road, but they are and you can’t control this, and worse, some of them without insurance ! So make light harder to see to make your car nicer won’t help
Not sure how it looked in real life, but on the video the turn signal was almost invisible after you turned off the wink... I do agree that wink looks funny, but has a lot better visibility tho
Thanks Eddie for doing this video. I have been on the fence about getting the VAG-COM so I could do these changes on my SQ5. I am pretty sure I am going to do it now, thanks again!
The wink not only lets your turn signal light stand out more, but the DRL shutting off draws added attention to your car. So for safety reasons, it's better to leave it active. But people today are so stupid and inattentive that either way you're still probably going to get hit. Years ago a guy I worked with was a volunteer fireman on Long Island. Their company got delivery of a new fire truck one winter. The guys on the crew wanted to give it a road test so they took it out after sun down and some idiot ran into them. When the police questioned the car driver, he said he didn't see the truck. The cop then asked the fireman who was driving if he had the axillary lights on while he was driving. He said yes so the cop asked him to turn on what he had on. When he did it practically turned night into day. The cop said to the driver, "You didn't see that!?" Then wrote a few extra tickets for bad driving.
@EddieX , I couldn't see on the VAG-COM codes list if there is a way to enable Bluetooth AUDIO on my AMI. Bluetooth ONLY works with phone calls; not audio. So annoying. I have 2013 A5 Premium with Audi Concert head unit. Is there a way to enable BT audio?
Hey bro I have a 2013 s6 .. which cable should I get and where ? And if your friend has code to lower the suspension please lmk .. hoping to get a cable and lower the car soon
Ok so buy the cable, download the software and you plug it in. Where do we download it and do we have to pay for anything on the website for the download?
VCDS software itself is free from Ross-Tech.com. There you can also buy the interfaces that have built in activation codes to unlock the softwares full potential. $199 for 3 VINs, $299 for 10 VINs, and I can't remember how much unlimited VINs are. They have the HEX-V2 that is USB connected, and the more expensive HEX-NET, a wireless alternative.
Thank god, i hate seeing the S4 winks on my car, its so weird that they designed that. This device looks pretty cool and I've never heard of it up until now, so thanks
Hello, I would like to hide the total km from the picture and maybe put the clock or the water temperature is possible? I want to keep counting the total km, so just hide it from the picture.
Thanks for sharing, can i ask you another question about my rs3, i juar notice that my rs3 when left indicator light turn on, my right day time running light also blink， so everytime my left turn signal light blink yellow, my right daytime running light blink white. Can you please explain what's that setting is? The car was second hand, and the previous owner already forget how setting it. Thank you!
Hi guys, can anyone give me some suggestions please. I have a used Audi A3 imported from Japan, I would like to change the fm frequency to New Zealand, I saw VCDS cables and software on Aliexpress, can I do coding with these?
LodgedAbyss definitely not accurate but could very well be dealer dependent. I have had my codes in for 8 years and visited 2 different dealers for service and they have never flashed it.
There was a cheaper option. Just buy a BMW, none of those drives use turn signal anyway. Or just smash your light out. There is a REASON WY CAR MAKES THAT "WINK". Try to see in other dudes car when they go with full lights , do they turn on their indicator or not. And you will see that you can't see sh@#$. And now you are standing and waiting till that car passes you so you know if you can finally make that turn.
Ok, BEFORE you do anything. Do not do what this guy just did! When you enter vcds. YOU MUST copy the current coding. If you change one thing it's not so bad, if you change a bunch of things and you fuck up your car you're going to regret it. Open vcds yes, left side of screen, on the right side open a notepad, and every step, tick box, byte, bit etc you go to and or change .. put this in the document.. before and after coding. EVERY step you click or alter. It'll be extremely frustrating, never mind expensive to get Audi to repair your mistake. This guy went in, balls deep and never explained anything here, this is a seriously bad content supplier. Very stupid.

I'm pretty sure that, that "wink" effect is there so the turn signal is more visible, i may be wrong though.
That's 100% why buddy. Why do you think disabling that is a checkbox?

snakerb I like the *winking*feature, because it reminds me of a Switchback LED.
Robert Mendez you’re the only one I know who likes that lol. Think I’m gonna make that a survey on the S4 forum or Facebook page.
It is exactly for that reason. So now basically he's made it a lot harder for oncoming drivers to see what he wants to do (turn left or right). So may drivers seem to forget car indicators are to provide other drivers information not for the driver them selves.
If you can’t see the amber flashing you’re blind and shouldn’t be on the road
He just said it will be harder to see, not impossible, but there is people who maybe won’t see and as you said should maybe not be on the road, but they are and you can’t control this, and worse, some of them without insurance ! So make light harder to see to make your car nicer won’t help

Good job Nissan, now others can't see properly your front turning lights, because the drl's are bright af 👌👏
Thanks Eddie for doing this video. I have been on the fence about getting the VAG-COM so I could do these changes on my SQ5. I am pretty sure I am going to do it now, thanks again!
Todd Halstead get carista it's cheaper and does pretty much the same stuff
dont worry ppl have been doing this on vwag cars since the early 2000s
No... video was too short. Should of film all the updates
Hey do you have the link to the coding thread you used?
Yeah, major winker problem here. Wow! thank god for vagcom.
Easy mod: Put led bulbs in the front turn signal to get rid of the halogen look

Ive been looking for days for a long code to make the leds work on my 2008 S5 with 2013 facelift
Did you get it this sorted? As I have the same issue.
Better if it turns off both DRL when turn signal is on or dim it.
This is great. Thanks mate..
Where would I get the right cable preferably close to OEM? I have been trying to do some mods on my S5. Let me know. Thanks
Late reply, but it might benefit someone else. Ross-Tech is the maker of VCDS, and the interfaces that make it work smoothly.

Can you please leave a link to download the VAG-COM coding you have? Thanks.
Hi,is it possible to programme retrofit puddle lights with this on my q5? Thanks
What kind of software you need to use to run vagcom
Where can i get this cabel and Programm and whats it called? For audi.
Can you enable the rear signal to blink like MK7.5?
Anyone know where I can get the cable mentioned in the video?
Eddie doing big things ul be a turner before u no it
Rx7 build next??

what cable did you use?
Can you send to me file of codes for cars ...thank you
do you have for A3 8P?
Hi guys, can anyone give me some suggestions please. I have a used Audi A3 imported from Japan, I would like to change the fm frequency to New Zealand, I saw VCDS cables and software on Aliexpress, can I do coding with these?
wow thats pretty simple!!
nice, thanks
Can i do this with vcds clone ?
How much $$$ is that VCDS ?
zuti071 If I remember correctly, it’s $200.00 USD.
$199 for 3 VIN's / $299 for 10 VIN's - software is free
Is this is the cable from rosstech, if so how much was the cable?

Hi my friend.ı have a 2020 Passat b8.5.ı buy vcds 20.4.2 vercion.but ı dont know securıty code..r u koow
does it void your warranty?
It should not because the only thing your doing is changing a function/command for the computer to do. You can always change it back.
Have you crashed your car yet at a junction?
Nope. Don't even own that one anymore
He will be blinking when he crashes someone who didn’t see his turning signal
Eddie. Aux or bluetooth solution for the 2009 a4?
William Jhon Google Audi AMI
Is this in Detroit?
yea
thought he lived in michigan.
i think michigan is in detroit
No. Its in America.....
Hello how much vcds please
600 pounds
He was asking about price. Not how much it weighs
@@EddieX
Oh, I'm sorry. The American Dollar is the the only currency in the world isnt it?
is the software free?
VCDS is "free" but buying the cable acts as the 'key' to fully unlock the software.
Heh, kinda like Forscan.
if you bring your car to audi for an oil change ect. they will disable these mods :(
LodgedAbyss definitely not accurate but could very well be dealer dependent. I have had my codes in for 8 years and visited 2 different dealers for service and they have never flashed it.
Its not like you see the wink when your in the car
unless you look into a reflection
I agree or like anyone who sees it is going to care.
Its not like you see the outside of your car at all when you're in the car...does that mean eveyone should drive ugly cars??
I think the wink looks kinda cool. But whatever floats ya boat.
Next time...slow down...show the steps clearer.
There was a cheaper option. Just buy a BMW, none of those drives use turn signal anyway. Or just smash your light out.

Last
Carista is cheaper and does 90% of things VAG-COM can do.
First i guess. Lol
