My belief is that this matter has nothing to do with "the module on the battery" because the absence of SoC on mk7s/mk7.5 affects cars that both have and don't have this module.



The SoC facility was removed from later model mk7s and on ALL mk7.5s by the deities on the VW mother-ship. My hunch is the the reason for this decision was because of the volume of complaints/questions from early mk7 owners about a SoC reading never approached 100%. The change was made to the firmware in the hex17 module (the instrument cluster module) and this altered firmware affected ALL subsequent, later model cars -even "Yankee" model mk7/mk7.5 that didn't have the battery monitor module.



Mine was a 2019 Tiguan 162 and I could never get it to show up. I read on another forum that it was missing a part and they showed a pic of a battery which had more than your pic beside the battery> Thats all I know but nothing worked.
