    Possible to FEC code restore using VCDS?

    Hi All

    Just had CP removed from a MIB II unit. was not hacked. Having issues with navigation working. I was told that a FEC code restore was required. Can this be done via VCDS or do only on the ODIS system?

    Yep- definitely ODIS for official method (or VCP - for "hacked" modules).

    But why not go back to the dealer and ask them why they didn't undertake the FAZIT authorization process correctly? There are 2 x separate and allied processes required for official removal of CP errors: first, the identity of the new module needs to replace that of the old module in the car's encrypted module-list - and second, the old module FeCs need to be transferred into the new module.

    Sounds like only half the job was done?

    Please don't PM to ask questions about coding, or vehicle repairs. The better place to deal with these matters is on-line, in the forum proper. That way you get the benefit of the expertise of the wider forum! Thank you.

    If the car which it's been installed into did not have navigation, or App Connect (for example if the original infotainment was MIB1) then you cannot restore the missing FEC using ODIS, VCP or VCDS.
    The FEC is tied to the VIN.
    There are some less traditional methods and tools required to get the features activated.
