VCDS V2: Customization Options & Settings

Translated on 14-10-2026, 2:40.

Hello community,

Does anyone know how to access the correct adaptation window in the central electronics module for Steuergeräte

?
When I go to the customization settings, this window appears for me.

Hi,

You've taken such a nice, large, white Screenshot. Just read what's written there. Expand the drop-down menu, see what options are available, and select one.

Best regards, Rainer.

Hi there,

You're really searching through that dropdown menu, aren't you?
I actually expected this window in the adaptation.

What you're expecting is how it used to work with cars, which are now almost considered classic cars. Now, instead, a dropdown list appears.

Best regards, Rainer.

Okay, I guess I'll just have to accept it.
How can I search for channels using the search function? I want to be able to enter a channel number directly, but entering "36" doesn't work.

Sorry, but maybe I'm just not understanding something right now

Since the "channel number" is no longer fixed, searching for it is rarely useful. However, while it might be the same for the same control unit, it can be completely different for a different model.
IMHO, there's no way around skimming the texts.

Okay, I'll take a look.
Thank you for the good and quick response, Rainer.

Best regards, Mario.
