Saving/Recording original settings

[Will ST]

I am shortly going to purchase a genuine VCDS unit but I am aware of the potential slip ups that could happen with it.

Is there a way to record all the settings in a car when you first connect to it, so after you've messed with things or made a boo boo, you can then just re load them.

I've a quick look around the forums etc but can't seem to find anything referencing to this,

Many thanks in advance

VCDS records all changes automatically.

C -> Rosstech -> Debug -> CodingLog / AdaptionLog

Thanks Chris,

Always nice having the comfort of a log to refer back on.

You're welcome.

For example -

ddress 10:8P0 919 475 C recoded (Long Coding) from 00010B to 10010B  (06751/128/28888)  Monday,24,February,2014,18:18:40:49196
Address 10:8P0 919 475 C recoded (Long Coding) from 00010B to 01010B  (06751/128/28888)  Monday,24,February,2014,18:19:13:49196
Address 10:8P0 919 475 C recoded (Long Coding) from 01010B to 00010B  (06751/128/28888)  Monday,24,February,2014,18:19:38:49196

Sort of makes sense Chris,

In your example, its saving the overall binary total for the 8P0 .. etc module your working on so if I made a boo boo, I'd just reset it to 00010B, being the first recorded value in this example ?

I guess once I've got my hands on it, it will make a lot more sense.

Thats it, basically once you start changing bits and pieces it'll list every module you've worked on and give you the before and after coding so easy to revert to should something go wrong.

Sounds good,

Many thanks for your time this evening ! !
