The SFD is unlocked with a one time generated code. I've no idea how obd11 frigged it because normally these come from VW's online systems. Each token has a defined validity period and I don't think obd11 shows you the token and I suspect it has be sent along with each command.

So no I don't think vcds can do what you want

https://youtu.be/rWVycZsKrEU?si=u3X-qHrDchTOf**k4 watch these for wiring help and installation. https://youtu.be/luYWF5b6TTw?si=OafMp6ZdYyRYT3KC

power from fuse box you can watch the end of this video if you want to try but i couldn't get the terminal through so i just used a piggy back fuse of same rating. https://youtu.be/oYKR06io0nM?si=kegtqArt1o2Rk2Jn

Great, thanks again.

It seems the calibration might only be to set between LHD & RHD.

On viewing all the resources I still cannot see how the pins are released from the gateway plug. Have I missed it? Is a pin release tool needed?

Cheers.

Hi, removing the pins was easy, just a fine screwdriver needed. As for Changing LHD to RHD I tried for a few weeks messing around with settings to no avail. And in the end I came to the conclusion that the pre set parameters were set for LHD so me changing settings didn't work.
