I have 01 AUDI TT Quattro roadster. I want to enable the DRL's when ignition
is on and disable them when off with the least amount of cutting and splicing.
I purchased and installed the "Euro" relay in slot 4, but no change in action.
I Need some help.

I suspect you need to recode the convenience system to enable this function.
Know anyone with a VAG-COM kit?

shipped...now I've downloaded the shareware Ross-tech software onto a
laptop and am looking forward to playing around with some of the
settings on my '98 A6 Avant Quattro and '97 A4 2.8Q, like changing the
country code to display kilometers instead of miles, resetting the
service indicators, etc.

A local fellow was going to offer his VAG-COM stuff for me to use (in
exchange for some beer! lol) but since I already had the laptop and just
needed the cable, I think this will be far more convenient...can do it
on my schedule, etc.

Might be worth the $20-$25 to get a cable for your TT!

necessary relays and connections are the same and present on the US cars as
compared to the Canada/Euro ones. I understand it to be more than a program
function to achieve my goal. Not sure myself. It would be nice if all I had
to do was change a program. Jerry

Sounds rather interesting - is there a page anywhere that shows just what
settings you can change on each car?

from the U.S. so they've needed a few of those changes. I think I paid
$80 for a local shop to change the first one, so buying the cable for
$25-ish seemed to make sense to me. But in my limited Googling on it so
far, there are plenty of things that can be done with the cable &
software, so I wouldn't be surprised if this would solve your problem.
Good luck!

I haven't done much yet - I was having some laptop issues but managed to
get the software on the laptop to recognize that it's connected to an
Audi "computer".

If you get one of these 'clone' USB cables, you might be distressed that
the software won't find the car computer... turns out that the clone USB
cables actually emulate a serial cable, so try one of the COM1/2/3 ports
instead of the USB port when connecting.

That took me a while to figure out... <sigh>

Essentially you're getting an older version of the Ross-tech software
for 'free', but you'd pay for the more recent version. Certainly if
you're running a mechanic's shop you'd want the pay version, but I can
barely change my oil so I don't need much!

I got the CABLE off eBay for cheap, and some of them have links to where
you can download the software.

Good luck!
