Hello everyone.

A few days ago, we switched our garage over to using VCDS. Now, the first customer task is to code an original Audi tow hitch. Since the tow hitch was purchased on eBay, the coding instructions are missing. The wiring harness is a new one from Audi, including instructions.

The car is an A3 8V, manufactured in September 2014.

We look forward to your feedback.

You're very welcome.

Good morning.

Congratulations, have you already seen the various tutorials on how this generally works?
The search function is your friend.

Sure, I will translate the text from German to English, keeping all https://community.dieselschrauber.org/en/viewtopic.php?t=24420&highlight=ahk+codieren exactly as they are. I will only provide the translation.

Please provide the text.

Generally, when dealing with questions like this, it's essential to include a full vehicle scan so that it's clear which control units are installed/involved, what type of vehicle it is with its specific equipment, and how the control units are coded.

Best regards, Rainer.

Thank you for the quick response. You're right, I forgot about that. I think the link with the instructions should work. Otherwise, I'll get back to you.

Sincerely,
