Also NZ-GolfR, the colour change looks pretty nice. Makes the AID look like the new Arteon's.

Good going mate, if you can take screenshots step by step for any working tweaks I'll add it to my OP under an OBD11 section.
Cheers!

theitchy: I've now amassed quite an arsenal of different diagnostic tools - some better than others, but my go-to device still is my trusty HEX-NET. Runs "like a cut cat" compared to all other devices that I have tried and the service/updates from Ross-Tech are the best!!
Alas though - I'm about 880 kms South West of Sydney, but I'm sure that you will find a forum colleague closer to home.

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.

DV52 you mean Ross Tech offer this kind of activation also? If they are i can give them a try to open more functions for the car. Thank you

Where is the best place to purchase an obdeleven unit?

theitchy: No- I'm confusing you! Ross-Tech themselves don't offer a coding service, but they do offer an excellent support service for registered users of their products (great email support and the contributors on their forum have awesome expertise!). They are also excellent in their software updates - VCDS cables aren't always able to keep-up with every new car that VW/AUDI/SKODA etc release, but they aren't too bad (IMO).
But (there is always a "but"), RT cables aren't inexpensive! So, it's cost/value proposition for prospective buyers and many choose OBDeleven for this reason (OBD11 is still a reasonable cable).
Your choice, but don't buy a fake cable - you are only supporting the theft of RT's intellectual property

I've used RT for years and yes they're great, but now with the 2016+ MQB platform I need to upgrade my cable. They offer a trade in but to get the Pro version, which is the equivalent of what I currently have, I'm looking at $399 USD.
As an enthusiast that has helped many people over the years (above the 10 VIN max of the "cheaper" $249 cable) I just can't see the justification in this, so I've ordered the OBDEleven Pro instead.
Will see how I go.

Shane: good choice - you won't be disappointed with an OBD11 dongle (make sure that your internet connection in the workshop/garage is good)!!
The software currently has an incompatibility problem with some MY17 MQB control modules (i.e. the new ABS module with the 47 byte-count), but I suspect that the designers back at OBD11 HQ will have this matter fixed shorty!

Hi Don and Shane
With the RT product if you run out of VIN spots does it just ask you to choose which one to forget or are you cactus?
Can you save a complete VIN profile xand then reload it back when you want to work on that car?
