Audi A3 8V How To Enable AUTO HOLD And Automatic Parking Brake WITHOUT BUTTON Retrofit

[@spirosbardis5806]

👍👍👍 Before I try here, I tried several codes from forums etc. All you have to do is change the bits and the bytes as the video shows and it was coded perfect. In my case, I had already installed the button so I just missed the last step and it works fine!! Thank you!!!

[@carYouTubefdaf]

Worked!! Audi A3 2013 in the UK!!! Thanks. (feb 2024)

[@PaulX]

Thanks!!! Worked on an Audi S3 2015 8V PFL. I used obdeleven and just a few things to note: Make sure security access is granted otherwise it won't work. When doing the long coding do not be tempted to press the green tick (do it) button after each coding, wait until all 3 bytes are changed and then accept the coding.

[@PaulX]

Also the light coding adaption wasn't showing under autohold instead I searched for light and it was there alongside the light for handbrake button.

[@Afg0Playa]

thanks that helps a lot!

[@mimou_bch7215]

I tried everything and I made the value of the light 0 but still get the error auto hold lamp (Audi s3 2015 8v) any idea ? And thank you

[@mimou_bch7215]

just another thing my Abs module number is 3Q09

[@306gti6m]

I saw that you have an A3 e-tron like mine, how do we put a code so that every time the car starts it is in AUTOHYBRID mode? Now when it starts it is in Emode if the battery is over 50%, otherwise HOLDBATTERY

[@tonymorse4573]

Fantastic video, waiting for my VCDS to do this. thank you

[@TheDjmixer20]

Can you program the on/off feature for hill assist to the ”secret button on the steering wheel” the one with the star(*) on it ?

[@dani43321]

As far as I know, no

[@doctorx8467]

awesome tutorial man, just did this on my 2013 a3 2.0 tdi sline sportback 8v, eveything went as per video, green p and everything, my abs module is 5Q0., so suppose those not getting to function dont have this module possibly

[@AudiA38v]

Muy muy buen video. Ya tenía el cableado y el botón pero creo que por ahora lo voy a hacer como en tu vídeo😅

[@PereiraShane]

Hey hey @daniel blanco do i need wiring kit to reprogram this hill hold assist ?

[@dani43321]

In most cases no

Hi, is there any news on Hill Hold coding without button for Audi A3 Restyling? Thank you

[@jeradocapes2869]

Hi. Would this work on a manual transmission? 2014 A3 8v 1.8 TSFI

[@lucaalmonte3550]

i need the procedure with obd11! thank you

[@paulfeatherstone7095]

Hello great work! Will this work on 2017 s3 manual ?

[@jesuxman6449]

Hola Daniel, me podrías decir cómo poner en el mmi las funciones de a3 etron?, se me han borrado las dos, gracias.

[@dickyng3984]

Thanks for your video. Do it work on “R” gear? If yes, any method to turn that off?

[@dani43321]

It does, but you can disable it by unbuckling your seatbelt

[@cristiancanalesm.6946]

Donde puedo coseguir la codificación, mi vcds tampoco muestra la descripción Byte's (Skoda Karoq 2022)

[@oscarp.7911]

Funcionando en un A3 8v del 2013. Gracias!! It works fine in a A3 8v 2013. Thank you!

[@luisflores-lc1mu]

Hola Daniel, cuánto cobras por esa activación y de dónde eres ?

[@jesuxman6449]

Hola Daniel, tengo el mismo coche que tú y me gustaría activarlo, cuanto cobras y de donde eres?, gracias

[@QuaTTrO456]

Will it work with 2012 Audi A5?

[@hossamkhafagy5737]

Thanks for your Vedie & the information - can you help me to do that on my car audi a4 b8 2015 please.

[@emilhajric-helpjuice]

How would you enable this on a 4m (2017) Audi Q7?

[@przemysawwalczak4655]

I did like in your film, all set the same , only different that I had f2 in bite not f4 and light was already on 0 not 7 Audi A3 2013 8v manual, no errors but auto hold not working and also no green light

[@yasyas9485]

Anyone knows if is it working on facelift version 2017?

[@mr.greywolf]

Thanks for your video but byte 23 is hex:F2 for my version instead of F4 so these bits don't work.So I will be glad if someone knows the working bits for my version.

[@tonymorse4573]

I have a question? will the parking break work if you're driving along and take off your seatbelt for any reason??? or will it wait till you have stopped driving first?. thanks

[@dani43321]

Good question! I just did some experiments: - If you start driving from fully stopped and quickly take your seatbelt off, the parking brake will be applied at up to 2 km/h. - If you have been driving faster than 2 km/h before and take it off, it will wait until you are fully stopped and then it will apply.

[@tonymorse4573]

@@dani43321 Hi, thanks for the reply, really appreciate it, and yeah i was worried if i did this it might come on whilst on the motorway if i take me seat belt off to reach for something maybe in the car and it would applied, so that's good to know, when i start work in the new year i will be working ina very hilly area, the reason to add this to my car, i'm not a fan of this electric break, i much prefer the old handbreake for sure.

[@zoli121]

13' Audi A3 8V manual transmission works well. Thanks

[@Afg0Playa]

Is it somehow possible to deactivate the auto hold function by pressing an other button? I would love to activate the function but sometimes it´s necessary to deactivate it for a short time, for examble when the parking space is tight and you want to drive out of it without to accelerate too much.

[@dani43321]

You can just keep your seatbelt off while parking and auto hold won't engage.

[@carYouTubefdaf]

Would this work on an Audi A5 B8.5?

[@dani43321]

I have no idea.

[@djdouglaslopes]

Very nice!!! I will test in my car!! My car is a A3 8v 2016, ok??

[@lightningstrike6308]

Hey, how did it go? Did it work. Let me know please. I have same year car

[@audi_pasjonaci]

Its work. Thank you!

[@andreagaiola1833]

Thank you so much! In a few days I'll get an Audi A3 8v e-tron 2015, similar to yours and then I'll try the procedure with VCDS. Just another question: what about the health of the batteries? I've seen you've more than 140k km (the one I've bought has 106k) and I'm a little bit scared about the batteries (maybe they've lost some capacity). Thank you!

[@dani43321]

Hi, congratulations on your purchase, it is an amazing car. My batteries appear to be fine, I get about 25km real world range which is what most other people seem to be getting. There is also a recall ongoing and Audi will replace the batteries with new ones, I haven't done it yet but I have heard that the new batteries get more range which is great.

[@michaelnettar3988]

Very nice video, thanks, I tried to follow your instructions but I have 2 errors come up! 1) Hold assist unavailable. 2) Parking brake. My vehicle is a 2016 A3 sb, there is a difference at Byte 23 where my original code is F2 and not F4 before changing to F5, would this be why it shows errors for me?

[@stijnpeeters9458]

@naheed asif found it yet?

[@stijnpeeters9458]

@naheed asif No way of coding the light out? otherwise, why not wire an led light directly in the engine bay to the abs unit so it recognizes the lamp works?

[@stijnpeeters9458]

@naheed asif keep me updated

Sí, siempre que lleves el cinturón puesto

my Golf R doesn’t show the green P in the cluster when Auto Hold is active, but Auto Hold does work. Do you know how to enable this?

Sorry friend, no idea. Does it show the red P or just nothing at all?

[@maxvermeij2172]

Hi sir. Can you help Me? I have a pre facelift 2016 S3. I tried this with OBDeleven. All was done correct but I get 2 errors: 1. Auto hold: not available 2. Parking brake! (Yellow icon stays visible in dashboard)

[@maxvermeij2172]

And sometimes I got the error: ACC not available. I have ACC so is it possible I am editing the wrong byte? For example in the last one, byte 23, mine is called F6 and changes to F7. Maybe this causes it to not work?

[@dani43321]

I don't have an OBDeleven so I don't know the exact procedure for it, but it should be very similar. Just make sure to disable the LED monitoring, as shown at 4:20. I got the same errors until I disabled it.

[@maxvermeij2172]

@@dani43321 I did this. I disabled the led check to 0. Also enabled the auto hold function as well as set it to always active. Still getting the same errors. Is it possible my car isn’t equipped with the cable that is communicating with the ABS system? I spoke to Audi a day ago and they told me it was impossible to enable it without the button because the cable should be in the cable tree, but it is not. Maybe this just doesn’t work for all A3’s

[@maxvermeij2172]

Possibly it’s the ABS module. Mine starts with 3Q0. I figured most people that got this to work have ABS 5Q0

[@fernandokreutz03]

@@maxvermeij2172 I have an MQB Jetta with the 5Q0 ABS module, also with ACC. I tested this procedure and got the exact same errors once done. Under ABS, I always get the fault stating that the button led is shorted to ground, even though its monitoring was disabled in adaptations. I tested clearing the codes with the car in neutral and the eletronic parking brake disengaged and surprisingly, auto hold worked just fine until I parked and engaged the parking brake. Not sure what am I missing, maybe it can indeed only be done with the button retrofit.

[@erfs6147]

Codiert in einem A3 8V von 2015, funktioniert leider nicht. Es kommt einer Fehler der EPB und die Meldung das der Holdassist nicht verfügbar ist. Meldung ist: Tasterlampe für Auto Hold Unterbrechung/Kurzschluss nach Masse.

I don't know if this will work in an A4. You can try to do it if you have the OBD11 Pro License, just make sure you do a backup of your car before attempting.

You can do it in a similar way if you have OBD11 Pro. There are some examples in forum.obdeleven.com/thread/2095#Instructions and obdeleven.proboards.com/post/8898 for how to use the Long Coding and Adaptation functions with OBD11.
