The platform is shared by 1 vehicle; an example is Volkswagen Passat (B7) (2010–2014), and CarCoding works with it on iPhone, Android, and Windows using an ELM327 OBD2 adapter.

With CarCoding, settings on this platform can include Rear lid remote release button, Mirror light, Turn signal in exterior rear-view mirror, Inside Door Handle Light, Automatic release, Mirror heater, Door Exit Light, Doors, Mirror memory, Steering, Type of lock, and Force limitation. The available settings list is resolved at runtime from the unit part number (ODX). CarCoding runs on iPhone, Android, and Windows with an ELM327 OBD2 adapter.

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.
