The VAG PASSAT B8 3G coding platform is a shared ECU family used by Volkswagen vehicles, including the Passat (B8) from 2014 onwards. This platform comprises 7 distinct modules that can be accessed and configured using the CarCoding app on iPhone, Android, or Windows devices with an ELM327 OBD2 adapter.
CarCoding allows users to configure settings across the 7 modules in this platform, such as CLIMATE 08, ENGINE 01, and INSTRUMENTS 17. Example adjustable parameters include Speed warning, Steering side of vehicle, Daytime lights (pointer), and Lane keeping assist. The specific list of available settings is resolved at runtime based on the unit's part number using ODX data.
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.
