Hello,

After my Golf 3 was gone, we only had TDIs in the family, all with the WFS integrated into the instrument cluster (a Polo 04 and an Ibiza 01).

When I try to open the WFS using the button in VAGCOM, I get a message.
"Please select address option 17."

17 is likely the AI (which makes sense), but VAGCOM only accepts 2 characters in the field for direct numerical input, so you can't enter anything like "e17".

So, how do I get into the WFS? icon_eek.gif icon_question.gif icon_question.gif

Hello Ulf, if you select cluster or address word 17, you will automatically also be activating the immobilizer.
What do you want to do there?

Just taking a quick look, out of curiosity icon_smile.gif.
(You never know when you might need it.)

17 is the combination instrument.
But I can't find anything there that looks even remotely similar to what I had with the Golf 3 at address 25 (like authorized start attempts, etc.).

Or how do I have to navigate the AI to get to the WFS section? icon_eek.gif icon_question.gif

Besides adjusting the key and modifying the anti-theft system on the MSG, there probably isn't much else you can do.
Whoever knows more should share it. icon_wink.gif

IMMO-3 is the one.

Sure, here is the translation of the text from German to English:

Okay, so it seems I'll find the WFS information around channel 020. I hadn't scrolled that far up before - I'll try it out soon.

Thank you http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/cars/index.html.
