Yes, it is the OBD interface for the dealer to plug in diagnostic computer.

 

My Audi A4 had the same interface, and I think most cars have OBD interface these days. I had a program called VAG-com which use to do lots of tricks on the Audi.

Maybe we will see some unnofficial software for the C4 ?

What do you mean by "tricks"?

Welcome to the forums mate hope you continue to enjoy your car. And all answers have been given. As said just a diagnositic port can also be used to enable certain functions of the car and also allow remapping of the ecu for a little tuning.

As wozza said really.

 

I reprogrammed the Alarm system to not 'beep' when you lock the doors, and my Audi dealer always told me they could not do that! It took me about 30 seconds to re-program after doing my research on the internet.

 

Main use is for reading fault codes, and they are all listed on the internet, as well as what to look for if you get a fault code.

I frigin hate chavs!! normally I would cover myself by saying sorry if it offends etc but if you are a chav you dont deserve a C4....so there.

 

I had an awesome conversation with a chav, he couldnt be a day over 12 bear in mind. He was telling me all about how he was going to nick the motor. It went something a bit like this, He was going to smash the window but I told him that that would set the alarm off, then he started talking about drilling the lock, I pointed out the fact that it doesnt have visable locks....after about 5 minutes of him talking a load of old boll*cks I pointed out that in the off chance that he did get it off the drive I would activate the tracker and the fuzz would be on him in no time at all....I then drove off laughing :blink:

Love taking the piss out of chavs.

 

Personally i think we should put them all on an island in the middle of no where give them random weapons and let nature take its course they will have died out in a few weeks and the rest of us can get on with our lives without the scum who add nothing to society and just drain resources.

Don't forget that when you get the car back it will be registered as stolen recovered and seriously affect your resale. Thats why I don't bother on my ///M Roadster, if someone nicks it, they are welcome to it, I'll just get another one.
