Audi isn’t just another car brand. It’s precision-engineered, software-driven, and loaded with advanced modules built on the VAG architecture. That’s where we come in. At VAG Programming, we specialize in Audi systems—from MED17/MG1 ECUs to MLB/MLBevo chassis modules, and even GEKO-secured component protection removal for retrofits.
Whether you drive an A3 with a DSG gearbox, a Q7 running dozens of control units, or an RS model with launch control and adaptive suspension, we tailor our service to your specific Audi’s electronic and software DNA.
Audi-Specific VAG Services We Offer
Audi vehicles are known for their complex CAN bus networks and module interdependencies. We use OEM-grade diagnostic tools (ODIS, VCDS, VAS5054A) to go beyond generic fault codes. For example:
- Fixing common DSG Mechatronic faults in A3, S3, and TT models
- Resolving parking assist module errors often seen in Q-series SUVs
- Identifying sensor mismatches after headlight retrofits in A6/A7s
No guesswork. Just precise troubleshooting matched to Audi systems.
Audi ECUs like the MED9, MED17, SIMOS18, and MG1 series often fail due to water ingress or tuning errors. We clone and transfer data securely to avoid losing:
- Immobilizer sync data
- Component protection flags
- VIN and mileage correction
Perfect for A4 and A6 models where ECU replacement is common after electrical issues.
Buying a used ECU or TCU? Without proper GEKO login and VAG parameter adaptation, it won’t work in an Audi. We re-code used modules and align them to your vehicle’s configuration, especially useful for:
- S-tronic gearbox replacements in S3/S4/S5 models
- Used ABS or BCM modules in Q5 and Q7
- Used virtual cockpit replacements in newer A6, A7, and Q8
Perfect for A4 and A6 models where ECU replacement is common after electrical issues.
Audi’s security system prevents module swaps without dealership-level coding. We remove component protection using authorized GEKO access, allowing full function of:
- MMI screens and amplifiers in A5, A6, Q7
- LED tail lights and dynamic indicators retrofitted into A4/A5
- Climate control units or comfort modules in Audi Q-series
🔐 Audi Key Programming & Immobilizer Coding
Lost keys or added remotes? Audi keys need precise pre-coding and synchronization with the immobilizer via VAG. We support:
- Transponder alignment for A3/A4/B8 series
- Key learning for Q7/Q5 (with KESSY systems)
- All keys lost recovery for Audi models with NEC or Megamos chips
🧩 Audi Retrofits & Feature Coding
Many Audi features are disabled by default or require enabling after retrofits. We activate and code options using official coding tables and parameter sets:
- CarPlay/Android Auto activation in MIB units
- Adaptive cruise control and lane assist in A6 and A7
- Dynamic turn signal enablement in A4/A5/Q5
- Virtual cockpit swaps in TT and RS3 models
Get more out of your Audi with custom tuning that respects the engine’s limits but boosts responsiveness. We support:
- Stage 1 and 2 tuning for TFSI engines (EA888 Gen 3, 4)
- DSG gearbox tuning to remove shift delays in S-tronic gearboxes
- Rev limit, launch control, and torque map adjustments for S/RS models
Perfect for Audi enthusiasts who want more push without compromising drivability.
