CarCoding supports the VAG PQ35 coding platform, a shared ECU family used by Volkswagen, Seat and Skoda vehicles. The platform is shared by 13 vehicles and has 12 modules, including ENGINE 01, CENTRAL ELECTRONICS 09 PQ, INSTRUMENTS 17 PQ and CLIMATE 08 PQ. Example vehicles include Skoda Octavia II (1Z) (2004–2013) and Skoda Yeti (5L) (2009–2017).

CarCoding resolves settings at runtime from the part number of the unit in the vehicle (ODX). Example settings include turn signals front as parking light, one-touch turn signal, parking light front - brightness, parking light rear - brightness, headlight cleaning, and voltage monitoring. Modules include ADAS ACC 13, AIRBAG 15, CENTRAL CONV 46 and STEERING COLUMN 16.

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.
