CarCoding is an iPhone, Android, and Windows app that works with an ELM327 OBD2 adapter. It covers the VAG GOLF8 5H coding platform, a shared ECU family. The platform has 26 modules and is shared by 1 vehicle; Volkswagen is the brand, and an example vehicle is Volkswagen Golf VIII (CD) (2020–).

The platform has 26 modules. Examples include ACCESS START B7, ADAS ACC 13, BLIND SPOT 3C, BRAKES 03, CAMERA 6C, CENTRAL ELECTRONICS 09, CLIMATE 08, DOOR DRIVER 42, and DRIVE SELECT 44. CarCoding resolves the settings list at runtime from the vehicle unit's part number (ODX); example settings include Partial networking deactivated, Soft start, Country variant, Steering Side, Keyless Entry, and P Button Memory.

On Volkswagen Group cars the setting list is resolved from the car: CarCoding reads the unit's part number and fetches the matching ODX bit map at runtime. The list you see is the one your unit actually carries.
