MK7 and VCDS (VAG-COM) thread

If you go to the module and click on security access, VCDS usually brings up a dialogue box with the code. At least it did for me on the 09 Central Electronics module.

I tried that before my initial posting and VCDS offers no security code for the ABS module.

It was 40168 for the MkVI

Depends on the vcds software your using, if it's too old it won't pop up with the right codes

It's the latest release. 12.12. There is still a lot of work to be done on the Mk7 by RossTech to access all the functions on the car. A lot of it is to do with communication, as different protocols are used compared to the Mk6 apparently.

I'm using 12.12 also. Earlier versions other than 12 (Beta), won't even read modules in my FR184. I would guess the same in the Mk7s?

Might have to wait for next issue then, you sure you don't get a pop up box?

Another vcds change that might already be standard On Gtis but I know it's something that needs activating on other models, but do the wingmirrors drop when you put it in reverse?

The wing mirror dip on passenger side is a standard feature with the GTI.
