  • hi, how do I activate boost gauge in DIS? I try using ultra gauss but don’t seem to have any boost meter. My car is Audi A5 2.0L TFSI 2012 Sportback . Pls advice

    • At my experience not every car shows boost gauge. If after following this tutorial you still don’t have boost gauge but lap timer is visible, I’m afraid there’s not much that we can do about it :(

    • That’s because 3.0TFSI is using supercharger and not turbocharger. Pressure increases linear with revs and is not regulated by ECU like in turbocharges.

  • Hello, I can’t find the Long Coding Helper. It doesn’t give me that option. I have an audi a6 from 2008, C6. Can it be done in other way? Or what can I do? Thank you!

  • I have an Audi TTS 2012. But after clicking ‘Coding 07’ – there is no long coding helper? Anyone know why?

  • hi,
    i have tts 8j resty and i would like to activate the turbo pressure display and the oil temperature in the tacho; is it possible without disassembling the tacho?

  • Hi Mr-Fix, I’m driving A3 8P but I cant get the long coding at the instrument menu. How should I activate these options?

  • Have activated the laptimer via obdeleven, but no appearance in DIS. Have a SQ5 from 2014, MMI-SW is HN+_EU_AU3G_P0767.
    Do I have to do something else

    Any advice? Thanks.
