How hard was this?


02070121

Explain please, that’s so cool lol


feelin_raudi

Sure! The TTRS and R8 come with these buttons from the factory. This is a chinese kit to retrofit them into various other models. I got the kit on aliexpress. Obviously, it's not oem, but I'm pretty impressed with the quality.


6786_007

What about programming them in to work? 


Appropriate_Offer550

Why is no one answering this question?


6786_007

No idea but I found a video of a dude doing this retrofit. I didn't watch all of it, but at some point he was making his way to the start button to tap into it. So im assuming the drive select does something similar. But I'd love to do this mod. Feels so racecar.

I’m soooo impressed lol, good on you OP!


onlyr6s

Does the start button work?


feelin_raudi

Yes.


Kie_AS

I really want to know where you got these from, would love to see if my TT is compatible. Thanks.


feelin_raudi

I'm 100% positive you can find some for your TT. Check ebay or aliexpress. People sell them in the US, but they just drop ship them from aliexpress for 3 to 4 times the cost.


Kie_AS

Appreciate it, I shall take a look! 😃


Kap85

MK3 TT should have the same harness as the RS just buy an R8 wheel and hook it up


not_old_redditor

Link us to the kit please! That's awesome.


BlackReddition

I made the * symbol on the steering wheel drive select.


_userxname

You can do it via MMI

Cries in heated steering wheel


ms2102

I don't regret going with the heated wheel at all, but man I still wish the flat bottom wheel just had a heated option. 


whatwhat83

Not in a 9.5


TheyCallMeFrisky

How


BlackReddition

ODB app, you can change a lot of settings.


Lopsided_Violinist69

Would you mind sharing the instructions for this?


BlackReddition

Have a look here, you need to buy a piece of hardware and it plugs in the ODB port and hooks up to your phone with Bluetooth. Then you can change loads of settings. https://obdeleven.com


Lopsided_Violinist69

Thanks, I do have an ODB plug - in terms of settings to change, what am I looking for? Or is it quite intuitive?


BlackReddition

It's intuitive and has quite a nice interface that you can search as well. It's under steering controls.


Belzebutt

Err… since when do you an ODB plug for that? MMI, Vehicle, Vehicle Settings, Steering Wheel Button. Select “Drive Select” or one of the other options.


Lopsided_Violinist69

That option is not available on my car (B9.5 A5)


Belzebutt

Could it be an S5-only thing? Maybe you need to enable that with ODB on the A5. I'm pretty sure mine came with a Lap Timer by default too. I know one of the things you could not do with ODB was enable the center tach on the A5, but other options were possible to add.


Daedelus451

Do you know if they make one for the US?

OBD-II codes are the second iteration of the diagnostic code listing system and are often written as either OBD2 or OBDII. (It’s also easier to write without the dash.) OBD-II codes are well-known among car enthusiasts, so there’s no need to be formal when talking about them. And since the OBD-II system has been around since the mid-’90s, it’s become synonymous with vehicle diagnostics and everyone has their own way of writing about them.

Ok I just watched the installation Video. Even tho it’s a great mod, taking apart so much and drilling into the wheelcover to fit thoses are not for me 😅😅 Looks great tho :)


danx3k

Do you have a link to the specific seller/proof you purchased? Some of them show and say the stop star button won’t be straight/horizontal but I can see yours is and looks great.


Metzga21

Look really good, thanks for posting this. I had no idea they made aftermarket kit like this. always liked these on the newer R8s. How difficult was the install? Anything that needed to be programmed via VCDS or OBD11?

Southern-Orchid-1786

Does look cool, and as you say OEM. What happens if you hit the red button when driving?


Novel_Arm_4693

I would also like to know the answer to this question


AskListenSee

Post the link to these please


RevolutionaryRent225

Looks dope thing


Fast_Pound2032

Looks great, well done!


poor_documentation

Looking for "Engine Select" and "Drive Start" buttons myself


Quirky_Classic_313

Audi's interiors are just awesome.


danx3k

How easy was it to fit?


a42020

Great job, I want to do this soon, was it difficult?


Imtherealwaffle

Didnt even notice at first looks very oem (i guess because they are actually oem buttons). Nice mod


xMilk112x

I would totally pay someone to do this to my B9S5. Lol


rooterroo

No auto start stop disablement? Looks good!


feelin_raudi

Autostart is disabled on my car. It's configurable in VCDS.


Frans51

I love it. I need to research this


not_old_redditor

Did you cover up the start button on the dash, or do you just have two start buttons now?


feeltheFX

I don’t have the need to have the start button on the steering wheel but that drive select SHOULD have always been there.


Legitimate-Image5301

There is this option too…. [https://youtu.be/yNVLPW1xvfY?si=S_l5KQ5vyrXK0idy](https://youtu.be/yNVLPW1xvfY?si=S_l5KQ5vyrXK0idy)


Surround8600

Are they non functional?


feelin_raudi

They are both fully functional.


jelde

I'm trying to understand why it's "not a practical mod" then, as you said. Seems highly practical to have those buttons right there.


feelin_raudi

Oh I see the confusion. I just meant that I already have a push to start button 8 inches to the right, and my * button already changes the drive mode on the steering wheel. So it's not like this mod increases speed or efficiency or anything, I just think it's fun to have to buttons there.


jelde

Gotcha. Still, looks awesome regardless.


Kap85

I’d imagine buying a R8 TTRS wheel would be less cheesy


ToastFaceKiller

The word “drive” not being capitalised would drive me insane.


feelin_raudi

That's how it is in the TTRS and R8 which both have these buttons.


ToastFaceKiller

Really?? That seems absurd.


feelin_raudi

Yep. These are aftermarket, but they replicate the oem buttons pretty well.


bendoscopy

It's always baffled me. All other controls in the cabin are uppercase and screen menus are sentence case. 🤷‍♂️


Nofarious

The drive select button text in the center stack isnt capitalized. Having it capitalized on the steering wheel would look off

dawiicz1

It's literally how it is from the factory in the r8 and ttrs
