The VAG Group informs on its “ERWIN” portal that the introduction of the SFD with the introduction of the Golf VIII will be introduced in the 1st HJ 2020 and sukessize will be extended to all models. As a result, certain ECUs can no longer be coded (by means of the 5-digit log number) and addressed, since they are locked from home. This is then only possible via a dealer/service logon by means of generated software tokens (secured and tunneled connection, PassThru). s will also greatly restrict the coding possibilities of VCP and VCDS. It is therefore necessary to activate the SFD-IT. However, read and delete error memory is not affected by this. In the annex the info of VW.
