Volkswagen hidden functions
Your Volkswagen leaves the factory with many functions already built in but switched off. We activate them by coding the car's own control modules, so they look and work like factory equipment.
What it is
What is a hidden function?
Modern cars share the same hardware across many trims and markets. The difference between them is often only software: a setting in a control module that turns a function on or off.
Coding changes those settings for your vehicle. Most functions need no extra hardware, use the original buttons and menus, and can be reversed later.
Before we start, we read your vehicle's configuration and confirm which functions it supports.
Examples
