Where is the 230 sticker set on the side like the ones in Europe?

[HPRS230]

I believe the Dealer puts them on, thats what I've read from Briskoda.
But they might not of sent 230 stickers to Aus as its a 169 (to match the 162)
???
Guess Ill know in a few weeks...

What do you need to access the menus?
Cable with program or some sort of controller?

Yep thanks Karl - that's where I've been looking as well.

I'll have a better play around with it tomorrow, after some decent sleep and in proper light !!!

Glad I read this - the unlocking of the car has been driving me nuts today (only got it yesterday) - thought it was faulty
User error lol!

Thanks to stu53, Mysticality and others, for clarifying my error in keyless locking/unlocking of the car!

NOW I know how to do it properly !!! I've clearly been doing it incorrectly but it's clear in my head now and I've got it working as expected.

I bought a OBDeleven dongle to do my own programming.

If you're coming to the Happy Laps at Willowbank raceway tomorrow, I can demonstrate if you like - I won't have a lot of time to help guys out with programming their vehicles though, as I'm flying to Tasmania at 1pm tomorrow, so I'm only going out there for a short time to meet some faces, perve on some nice cars and take a gentle punt around the track for a few laps.

Thanks, down the GC though for work xmas party
Had a good look at some of the coding options on Briskoda and a few changes I would like
Traffic updates, boot close with button in car and sunroof with rain
Need to find an iphone version - hopefully will work with the audi as well

All of those things you want, I've managed to program using the dongle.
I can confirm the traffic updates & boot-close definitely work... haven't tested the rain-close yet, but I believe I've coded it correctly.
Nothing seems to ahve been "broken" after I coded it,
Shouldn't take too much time to do - I can give it a crack if you like, otherwise, the dongle costs about $60 I think, delivered to your door. Mine took about 5 days to arrive.

There's no iphone version of the program - and they're apparently not planning one any time soon sadly - so I'm forced to borrow my mates android pad any time I want to poke around with the dongle.
