jb0o Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Hi chaps, Mainly aiming this towards Shark_90 as every Google search seems to bring his name up, so I'm assuming he's the go-to guy But I'm unable to post a PM directly to him so I'll create a thread... I'm retrofitting Cruise + DIS into a B7 in a couple of weeks and I'm fine with the Cruise as I've done a few of these, but I'm unsure of the DIS... I know its just Plug&Play but I've read in a few B6 sections that a repair wire is needed to ground Pin 1 of the blue plug in the instrument cluster... Is this wire needed for a B7? Cheers, Jonny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 He's on holiday at the moment, although he's never normally more than 100yds from his laptop, so he might not see this till he gets back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Jonny I've done the DIS mod myself. You have 2 choices with the Pin 1, you can go for the whole hog and fit the washer bottle sensor or just ground the wire. I personally went for the washer bottle sensor. This involved fitting the sensor to the bottle then running the live wire through the dash and then connecting it to Pin 1. Most if not all B7's have a wire in Pin 1 (red & brown) as was the case with mine. I attached my live to this and job done. The quicker (and easier way) is to take a wire from the Pin 1 (red& brown wire) to a nearby earth point. Hope this helps? I can't take the credit, most of this I got from Shark_90 and Co, couldn't have done it without them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkster001 Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Just to clarify, if you have the red & brown wire in Pin 1 then you don't need a specific Audi repair wire. I just used a red SnapLock Connector to 'T' into the red & brown wire then grounded the other end, works a treat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb0o Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Thanks Yorkster! So by not fitting the new sensor to the water bottle, will this take away the ability to sense when the water is running low in the washer tank? Also, do you have a part number for the DIS wiper stalk? Tried calling the main dealer numerous times and I cant get anywhere without a VIN/Reg No. Cheers, Jonny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkster001 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 By not fitting the sensor you won't technically take away anything as you won't currently have the ability to sense when the water is running low in the washer tank anyway. Enabling the DIS with VAG-COM also enables the washer sensor which when not fitted throws up a warning on the dash. The grounding of Pin 1 just closes the circuit (as would happen with a full water bottle) and removes the warning on the dash. It fools the car into thinking it has a full bottle. As for the part number, I'm sure I still have the invoice. I'll dig it out later and post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb0o Posted February 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Ah, i get it. I didnt realise the car didnt already have the ability to sense if the water was running low. Thanks for help again, and that part number if you have it would be a god-send! Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jb0o Posted February 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Yorkster... having a few problems getting the DIS to work on the B7. Got CC control working fine but the DIS wont work... I was assuming that the only part to change was the coding in the Steering Wheel-16 module, to which I changed to accept CC and On-board computer. Do I need to add any more code elsewhere? Thanks again man, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb0o Posted February 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Ah, found it! Was in Channel 19 of Adaptations on Instrument-17. Thanks again man, first A4 Ive done. Took a while but it went well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
