This modification is totally reversible and adds the convenience of using the gear shift buttons on the multifunction steering wheel at anytime - weather the main gear selector is in "Tip" mode or not. With this recode you will be able to access the manual shift mode in "D" or "S". For example if you are driving along in "D" and decide you want to downshift simply press the steering wheel shift button in the "-" (minus) direction. The transmission will downshift and the Manual Tiptronic mode will remain active for approximately 30 seconds and then resume the last full auto mode ("D" in my example). If you make another shift before the 30 second time out the clock resets for 30 seconds. Great if you get into a hilly section of road and you need to manual shift for a short duration.

Things you will need for this mod:

• VAGCOM software and cable
• Basic VAGCOM use knowledge
• less than 10 minutes of your time
• Cold beer for "job well done" celebration

1. Attach VAGCOM cable and start the software as normal (don't forget to turn the car on but don't start it)
2. Open Module "02" (Automatic-Transmission)
3. On the controller screen open "Recode-07"
4. Make a note of your original coding (mine is 01002) in case you want to go back to it
5. Enter 00032 in the coding field and click "Do-It"
6. Review the coding data in the controller screen to confirm new coding
7. Exit VAGCOM, turn off your car and disconnect the cable

Now take your allroad out for a spin and play with this new feature. If you don't like it simply follow the procedure again and input your original coding.
