What does SWaP mean?

SoftWare as Product (basically you tell the servers in Germany to add it to the options on your car so that any new update of firmwares don’t remove them) you can check out what products you have by looking at the FEC’s listed in your MIB
Basically a upgrade that you can buy (although there are other ways now that don’t require going through VW’s main servers in Germany)
But also some cars if you enable performance monitor the gauges read zero due to either incorrect hardware or firmware

I could go on and tell you how FEC’s work but that’ll probably bore you😂

The only stupid question is the one you don’t ask.
Feel free to bore away👍

Thanks for that. It isn't the end of the world not having it that is for sure.

Yeah I’ve got it, saw what it looked like, thought that’s cool, never looked at it again 😂

Use it to keep track of oil temp so I can have other data in the instrument screen. Don't use satnav much.
