I just got my Ross Tech VCDS scan tool and I’ve been messing around with it some. I know i’m going to need it eventually and now was a good time to buy one. The car I’m using it on is my 2007 S6. So far I’ve been messing around with activating new features that I’ve been reading about.
One thing has been puzzling and confusing to me. I cannot seem to figure out the “long code helper”. Basically I don’t see the button showing up on any coding screen I go to.
Here is what i’m looking at as far as instructions:
From the first VCDS screen, click “select”
Next screen, click “17-instruments”
Next screen, click “Coding-07”
Next screen, click “Long code helper”
I can get all but the last step… Do I need to do something inside the VCDS to let the program know what kind of car I have so it knows how to help with the coding? or does my car not support long coding?
