Reprogramming control units

All data for the control of components are stored in the control units. Some convenience functions, such as lane change flash, single door
unlocking and displays, can be reprogrammed using special workshop equipment. If the convenience functions are reprogrammed, the
descriptions in your vehicle wallet will no longer match the original functions. Volkswagen recommends that you have any reprogramming
confirmed in the service schedule under Workshop comments.
Information about possible reprogramming can be obtained from the Volkswagen dealership.

Reading the vehicle's event memory

There is a diagnostic interface for reading the event memories in the vehicle interior
electronic control units are stored in the event memory. Additional information on the stored data is available from qualified workshops.
In some models and with some equipment levels, the diagnosis interface can be found in the footwell on the driver side underneath the dash
panel or next to the bonnet release lever, possibly behind a cover.
The event memory should only be read and reset by a qualified workshop.
After a fault has been rectified, the information in the memory pertaining to the fault is deleted. Other memory content is overwritten on an
ongoing basis.
WARNING
Incorrect use of the diagnostic interface can cause malfunctions, which can result in accidents and serious injuries.
Never read the event memory using the diagnostic interface yourself.
The event memory should only be read out via the diagnostic interface by a qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends using a
Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.

Mobile communication in the vehicle

Volkswagen recommends always using the external aerial for safe use of mobile communication equipment in the vehicle. he connection quality
is improved and the range of the mobile communication device is increased.

Electromagnetic radiation

If a mobile communication device is used without being connected to the external aerial, the electromagnetic radiation will not be optimally
directed to the outside of the vehicle. This can pose a health risk
Using a telephone
In many countries, making telephone calls when driving is permitted only using a hands-free system, e.g. via a Bluetooth
integrated telephone holder ⇒ Booklet Infotainment system , . Secure mobile communication devices in a suitable holder before use
stowage compartments in the vehicle, e.g. in the centre console, to stow mobile hands-free systems.
Use a compatible mobile phone if the hands-free system supports SIM Access Profile (SAP).
Two-way radios
Observe legal regulations and the manufacturer's operating instructions for operation of two-way radios. Approval is required for retrofitting two-
way radio systems.
Ask your Volkswagen dealership for further information on installation of two-way radio systems.
WARNING
Objects that are placed loose in the vehicle or not properly secured could be flung though the interior and cause injuries during a sudden
driving or braking manoeuvre, or in the event of an accident.
Secure or safely stow mobile communication devices and accessories outside the deployment zones of the airbags.
