It's definitely not a new thing.

Current era of ECUs used, shows in VW's diagnostic software how often it's been flashed, and whether the current version is correct for the car.

Hence why everything started off with piggy-back modules on the Mk7s, before the knowledge base caught up.

The thing about being undetectable, is knowing what the ODIS software is looking for, and what it sends back to Germany, before you can figure out what to hide or mask.
