R28LT : Hi.
I'm ALWAYS a big fan of following advice from folk that have actually done stuff with their diagnostic devices - so I respectfully bow to gerhard's advice which is in the post before this reply!!
That said, I'm very surprised that it was possible to use ANY diagnostic device (other than the dealer tool ODIS) to unlock even the most basic servicing functions on a vehicle with SFD2 protection.
With absolutely no offense intended to gerhard - my strong hunch is that his "2023 T-ROC R" does not have SFD2! In fact I suspect that his car doesn't have any version of SFD!
Again with no offense - according to the T-ROC wiki site HERE, the "first generation" version of this car are sold from "2017 - present". This means that a "2023 T-ROC R" is a "first generation" model.
The wiki site identifies that current release T-ROCs are ALL built with a Volkswagen Group MQB A1 platform - so they share the same DNA as other models with a MQB build, like Golf mk7, Audi A3 8V, and many others. Further down the wiki site, the following statement is made about the "second generation" T-ROC that was due in 2025 (I'm not sure if these cars are available in Australia yet):"The second-generation T-Roc is built on the MQB Evo platform, which it shares with the Golf Mk8.5"
So, using the T-ROC wiki information:
- MQB platform cars like the "2023 TROC R" use the normal 5 x digit security codes to unlock modules.
- MQB Evo platform cars have SFD/SFD2 protection

Please don't PM to ask questions about coding, or vehicle repairs. The better place to deal with these matters is on-line, in the forum proper. That way you get the benefit of the expertise of the wider forum! Thank you.
