CarCoding covers the VAG PQ35 Q3 8U coding platform, a shared ECU family. This platform has 10 modules, including BRAKES 03, CENTRAL ELECTRONICS 09 PQ, DECK LID 6D, ENGINE 01, GATEWAY 19, HEADLIGHT RANGE 55, INFOTAINMENT 5F PQ, INSTRUMENTS 17 PQ, PARKING ASSIST 10, and STEERING COLUMN 16. The platform is shared by 2 vehicles, such as Audi Q3 (2011-2015) and Audi Q3 (2015-2016).

With CarCoding, settings are resolved at runtime from the vehicle unit's part number (ODX). Examples include Lower passenger mirror when reversing, Corner Lights Activation, One-touch turn signal, Parking Light Front - Brightness, Headlight Cleaning, and Teardrop Wiping Rear. These settings apply to the VAG PQ35 Q3 8U platform's shared ECU family.

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.
