Special notes on coding your Audi A3

While MQB (Modular Transverse Matrix) technology brings many benefits and simplifications, it can make coding your Audi A3 a bit more complicated. Because the Audi A3 shares many of its ECUs and electronic components with other Volkswagen, Seat and Škoda models, it can be difficult to determine exactly which ECUs (and in what combination with other ECUs) are installed in your particular vehicle. Therefore, not all encoding options may be available.

Don’t panic – coding doesn’t mean you have to learn codes or programming

The term “coding” can be confusing to many people and it is often assumed that you need programming skills to do it. However, we can reassure you. By coding, we simply mean adapting the existing functions of your car. This is made possible with the help of software, an external diagnostic device or a smartphone app such as the Carly App. Carly is particularly user-friendly: you simply select the desired menu item, make your selection and confirm with OK. Carly will do the rest for you. To access the features, the Carly app requires Carly’s OBD-2 adapter.

However, please note that the availability of coding options depends on the specific model and trim level of your Audi A3. It is therefore advisable to check the compatibility of each feature in advance to ensure that they are indeed available for your vehicle. However, with the right customization, your Audi A3 can become a perfectly tailored companion for your driving adventures.

What does OBD-2 mean for your Audi A3 and what should you know about it?

OBD-2, the abbreviation for On-Board Diagnostics, is a standard originally developed for monitoring systems related to emission control. It is used to collect and analyze data that could affect exhaust emissions. Error codes that can be read out via an app like Carly play a central role here. Before OBD was standardized, each car manufacturer had its own system.

Over time, the OBD interface has become more and more important and is now used for general communication with vehicles, such as the Audi A3. To connect, an OBD adapter is plugged into the designated jack inside the vehicle. Carly uses BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) for the connection, which means that your device will connect automatically without you having to search for it in the list of Bluetooth devices.

In the USA, work is currently underway on an OBD-3 standard. Imagine the following scenario: You bring your Audi A3 in for inspection and no problems are found. After three months, a warning light comes on, but you ignore it. Only a year later, you bring the car in for another inspection and it turns out that the exhaust gas values have already been above the permissible limits for nine months. This scenario would be possible under OBD-2. But how about under OBD-3?

Under OBD-3, the values in question would be sent (via a SIM card or satellite) directly to the relevant authority when a fault occurs, so you could no longer simply ignore the warning. If you don’t fix the error within a certain period of time, you could face penalties. It is not yet clear whether this standard will also be introduced in Europe. However, it will be many years before this is the case.

By using OBD-2 in combination with an app like Carly, you can optimally monitor and personalize your Audi A3 to make your driving experience even more enjoyable and safe. This way you can have full control over your vehicle and make sure it’s always in top condition. However, it is important to note that not all coding options might be available for every Audi A3, as this depends on the specific model and trim levels.
