Description

As part of the security strategy, some parts of the modules build in the VAG vehicles, implement the so called “component protection”. This is a mechanism dedicated to prevent exchange of modules between different vehicles without central authorization from the VAG online database.

Such modules build in another vehicles activate the “component protection active” DTC and are with restricted functionality when build in another vehicle. This special function allow to remove this “component protection active” trouble code and allows to the module to works with its full functionality.

Component security is not implemented in all VAG vehicles. The first vehicles starting with the component protection are Audi A4/A5/Q6/A7/A8/Q5/Q7/Allroad....

This special function currently works on:

Audi A6/Q7/Allroad 2004-2008. In these cars the customer is able to adapt completely by OBDII without any restrictions the component protection for the airbag, instrument cluster, comfort module and EZS-Kessy. For the remaining modules having a component protection (e.g. DSP, Climate Control) the customer can adapt the component protection only if he have the Gateway EEPROM dump from the car from which the replacement module is taked.
