Xenon Alignment Audi A5 2014 with VCDS

Hello everyone,

"Given that the 'well-known' control modules 55 or 29, which are used for the basic adjustment of the xenon headlights, can no longer be accessed in my A5 Sportback (manufactured in February 2014), the question arises, and likely for other owners as well, in which control module and channels the basic adjustment needs to be performed."

There are very few helpful resources available online.
According to some information available, the two channels for basic calibration are now located in the body control module.
Can anyone provide information about that?

Sure, here's the translation:

"Thank you in advance."
RB.

Please post the Autoscan results.

Here's the car scan...

Please first update to VCDS version 14.10.1 (using your customer account) and then carefully examine the body control module (address 09)... unfortunately, I haven't encountered this issue on your vehicle before.

Best regards, Rainer.

Current status: Under development.

Thank you for the information.
After updating to version 14.10.1, I navigated through the measurement data blocks.
I came across the text "Learned the rules of the game" on channel 159.
However, I don't want to experiment without a safety net.
Could a schematic diagram of the control unit be helpful in developing a suitable label file?

RB.

Please wait a moment...

Hello,

Is there any news regarding my issue? Has the development that was announced progressed?
Please provide information.

RB.

...I followed up... and I haven't received any new information yet.

Thank you in advance.

If this customer is comfortable using English, please ask him to download and install Release 15.7.0. Using the standard prerequisites, such as the vehicle being on level ground, a suitable aiming target being ready, the ignition being on, and the headlight switch being set to ON (instead of Auto mode): [Select] [09 - Cent. Elect. Check for fault codes first! [Basic Settings - 04] Group 011. [Go!Bitte gib mir den deutschen Text, den du übersetzt haben möchtest. The controller should display the registration position or something similar. [ON/OFF/Next] to activate the Basic Setting function. At this point in time, I would expect the system to display "Wait" (or a similar message) and then switch to a confirmation that the basic settings are active. It should be safe to turn the screws at that point. [ON/OFF/Next] would need to be used again to deactivate the Basic Settings and store the learned positions.

Please test the English VCDS version 15.7.0 using the procedure described above.
Okay, or should I translate something for you?

Best regards, Rainer.

And?

Thank you for the information. I haven't had time to check the forum for the past few days. I will follow the instructions and then report back.

Greetings.

Hello,
I have just completed the configuration process following the instructions provided. It works. After selecting group 011, "learned" appears in the window. With the next click, "adjust" appears, followed by the adjustment process, and then it is confirmed with "Done." I have performed several configuration cycles to identify any potential differences. In my vehicle, the final configuration is only applied when the error memory is completely cleared (even if there are no entries).
Furthermore, I recommend releasing the parking brake before starting the adjustment process and keeping the doors closed during the procedure, as this (in my experience) had an effect (the previously set height would drift slightly). Also, according to the repair manual, the fuel level plays a role (the tank should be at least 90% full). However, I'm not sure if this applies to vehicles without adaptive suspension.

Thank you again, and best regards.
Roman.

Thank you for your feedback!

Update: The basic Xenon settings for this vehicle now also work with the German version of VCDS!
