12 months of SFD unlock for Audi, Cupra, Seat, Skoda, VW and commercial vehicles – no token costs per activation.
With the VCDS SFD subscription you can unlock SFD-protected control units online, directly through VCDS. This gives you access to the supported diagnostic functions as well as coding and adaptations – without having to buy individual tokens for every unlock. Service-relevant functions are now available, such as service reset, brake reset or DPF regeneration. VCDS shows which functions your vehicle supports after unlocking.
