QuestionQUESTION: Hi, I want to thank you first of all for doing this, you are saving everyones life basically.
I have a newly imported 99' A4 Quattro (B5 style) and want to do a Daytime Running Lights conversion to meet Canadian spec. It can't be switched through VAG-COM so is there a module I need? where is that found?
Also, I need to get a child tether bolt or something like that, do you know about this?
Thanks in advance
MM
ANSWER: Hi, A daytime running lights modification seems fairly straightforward from the web info pages:
You need an on-board diagnostics (OBD) tool to change the lights. Select Electronics and click on Recode. You should see a 5-digit value (mine was 00013). The last digit is the daytime running light setting as follows:
1 - RDW (Rest of World): DRL=No
2 - NDL (Netherlands): DRL=Yes
3 - USA: DRL=No
4 - KAN (Canada): DRL=Yes
5 - DAN (Denmark): DRL=Yes
6 - SON (???): DRL=Yes
I first tried 00014, but the DRL feature was then using the fog lights (not the low beams). I switched to 00015 and got the desired behaviour of low beams turning on when ignition power is on.
I have no information on tether bolts, but this is an anchor bolt you should be able to get from the Audi dealer.
So try that and let me know,

QUESTION: Thanks for the ridiculously quick reply.
I have the B5 style which doesn't allow you to VAG COM the DRL conversion.
You can convert from USA-->CANADA spec but this converts all Miles to Kilometers and fahrenheit to celsius etc.
I have to hard wire something, somehow to get this DRL done.
Do you know anything about this??
Also, thanks for the tether info, I guess I will get this from an Audi dealer, (even though I don't want to pay Audi rip off prices).
Thanks in advance,
MM
AnswerOK how about these? I know this first one is for a passat, but the wiring should be similar:

Or for the Audi, this is an option:
