Well the 7th post on here
Where they said "I wouldnt spend that much on a device that cant code". If that's true its a lot of money for a device that can't code.
You'll get diagnotics out of
obdeleven which costs you a lot less pairing it to your phone so you arent paying for hardware you already have then you have the
coding side of
obdeleven. In the old days
coding was free now new users have an annual license to pay or you use the micro payment apps. They were put in to fight off the likes of Carista. So they were covering two bases, the coders which are really pick off screens and toggles and the one click app people.
Against that you got sfd and sfd2. Sfd2 came in on 2025 models, sfd on 2020. Sfd controls aspects of
coding so you can't meddle with protected stuff. International standards on that. You can read about it on Googles.
As for "
coding" there is a certain level of misunderstanding on that. The last Leon4 post. I didnt comment they were asking about the centre light bar.
Basically Vag systems get parameterised for how they behave in a particular brand and model.
Coding is changing this behaviour. In the rear lights if it was never intended that, that was an option then you can't do it. Scandinavian DLRs is an option that is obviously toggled on in Scandinavia. Other regions the car may be sold without it. If Vag engineers never saw a market where you could turn the centre light bar off, then you cant. Unlike computer
coding you are toggling the designed sub systems on and off in the behaviour. You can only have programmed behaviour.
You might be too young to know about "packages" and programming. Old mainframe lingo. A package is written for a task and you can wiggle it's behaviour, programming or
coding is programming, so really
coding isn't programming on the car, its like using a package. Clear as mud.
