Glad you're nearly sorted. Sorry the last bit isn't working.

Thank you mate ,after a bit more digging and a bit of a disagreement with a guy on VCDS it appears I dont have this module in the car so this I why I could not access it ,

STG 13 > Coding > Byte 3 > Bit 3 Activate refers too (auto distance regulation) =adaptive cruise control ,as I dont have this on the car I dont need this section so all sorted 

 

Cheers

Fantastic news 😊

Had my dealer retrofit the stowable Audi Tow Bar.

Works fine and has also added a ‘Tow Bar’ function to the MMI Reversing Camera that shows an orange line and dot where the tow bar is.

i gather the software also modifies the Stability Control function to optimise handling with a caravan under tow. It also adds a caption showing if the tow bar is not safely locked. When towing a different set of green indicator lights shows on the instrument panel when indicating.

Wish I had ordered this at build as the retrofit was costly. The parts were around £1200 plus a hefty chunk of labour.
