Audi A4 B9 multiple module warnings after a coding change

I was looking at a 2019 Audi A4 B9 2.0T after the owner changed a few comfort features with a third-party coding app. Auto-fold mirrors, lighting behavior, start/stop memory, that kind of thing.

Afterward it started showing parking brake, lighting, and driver assist warnings. I checked the topology view on a topdon ONE first. The marked modules were mostly around the gateway, body electronics, door module, parking brake, and driver assist.

That didn't prove it was a coding issue, but it showed the faults weren't scattered randomly across the car. From there I checked the recent coding/adaptation changes against the car's actual equipment. A few settings looked questionable, so they were rolled back, then the needed basic settings were run.

After clearing faults and cycling the car, most warnings didn’t come back during a short test drive. I’d still want more drive time before calling it done, but it was a good reminder that Audi feature coding can affect more modules than expected.

Should I choose a robot mower based on coverage area or battery life?

Before we started looking into upgrading our robot mower earlier this year, I honestly had no idea there were this many models and features now. Stuff like 2WD vs AWD, RTK vs lidar navigation, obstacle avoidance, different wheel setups, it got confusing pretty fast.

At first we were mostly comparing luba and hq, but then I started seeing more people using mova and navimow too. I’m leaning more toward a lidar mower. (seem a little more stable?)

We’re in Europe and upgrading from a worx. We want an AWD model because of the slope in our yard, but I’m still confused about whether I should focus more on the recommended coverage area or the battery performance.

Our yard is mostly flat except for one long slope. We also have 5 separate zones, flower beds, a trampoline, and a swing set. The narrowest passage is around 80 cm and the total area is about 1200 sqm. Budget is around 1500 euros.

How did you decide which model size made the most sense for your yard?
