CarCoding covers the VAG PASSAT B6 coding platform, a shared ECU family. This platform includes 9 modules and is shared by 3 vehicles. Examples of vehicles that share it include Volkswagen Magotan (2007-2011), Volkswagen Magotan (2011-2016), and Volkswagen Passat (2005-2010).

The platform includes 9 modules: CENTRAL CONV 46, CENTRAL ELECTRONICS 09, DOOR DRIVER 42, DOOR PASSENGER 52, INSTRUMENTS 17, NAVIGATION 37, PARKING ASSIST 10, STEERING COLUMN 16, and TELEPHONE 77. With CarCoding, settings include Door lock/unlock confirmation (beep), One-Touch Window Closure, Central locking behaviour, and Comfort Function automatic Closing. The setting list is resolved at runtime from the part number of the unit in the vehicle (ODX).

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.
