Code Control Module (scan tool function 
07)
 
      This function is used to code the radio for the 
following:  
     Radio configuration
     Sound system 
     Number of passive loudspeakers
     Country identification
     
Notes:  
     The coding procedure is used to set the various 
radio configuration options. 
     The coding table only gives the combinations 
that are available for the Audi A4. 
     The term "antenna with remote power supply" 
refers to active antennas (e.g. rear window 
antennas) which are powered via the HF cable. 
     The coding must always correspond to the 
equipment installed in the vehicle.
