The service interval setting for VW vehicles.
VAG vehicles have been equipped with a service interval display/maintenance interval display for several model generations.
It is always located at address 17 within the circuit breaker panel (combination instrument).
The +0 Adaption++ function allows you to read out individual channels.
Unfortunately, the reset process is not consistent (at this point, a heartfelt thank you to the developers).
what quickly turns it into a complex task.
