CarCoding supports iPhone, Android, and Windows and works with an ELM327 OBD2 adapter, covering the VAG PQ26 coding platform, a shared ECU family. The platform has eight modules: BRAKES 03, CENTRAL ELECTRONICS 09 PQ, CLIMATE 08 PQ, DRIVE SELECT 44, ENGINE 01, GATEWAY 19, INFOTAINMENT 5F PQ, and INSTRUMENTS 17 PQ. Vehicles sharing it include Skoda Rapid examples such as Skoda Rapid (NH) (2012–2017), Skoda Rapid (2017+) (2017–), and Skoda Rapid (2020+) (2020–).

With CarCoding, settings on the VAG PQ26 platform can be changed. Examples include Lock Autolock Rear, Lock Auto Unlock, Lock Autolock At Speed, Corner Regulation, Light sensor sensivity customization, Turn Lights Polite Blinks, Emergency braking lights, All doors on one side, Key Fob While Engine Running, Horn working when ignition turned off, and Anti-theft alarm. The available settings are resolved at runtime from the vehicle unit part number via 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.
