Purpose: Displays the Climatronic hidden menu.
Display the instantaneous digital speed? It’s possible! You don’t need to use your VCDS VAG-COM cable for this tutorial.
What is it used for?
In the hidden Audi Climatronic menu, you can easily access secret diagnostic readings such as battery voltage, vehicle speed, engine RPM, sensor readings, system DTCs, and much more.
Hidden single-zone Audi Climatronic menu procedure
- Turn position button II and wait for the Audi Climatronic system to start.
- Press both the air recirculation and windshield defrost buttons.
- On the screen, you should see 1C.
- Select the channel using the temperature buttons.
- Press the air recirculation button to read the value for the selected channel.
- Press one of the temperature buttons to return to selection.
- Turn the key to 0 position to exit the hidden menu.
