Well, inspired by this fantastic guide, I have taken to my Skoda Combi with a dremel, wired up with all the same parts as above, bought a genuine VCDS, but stumped at the coding.
I have managed to activate 6C controller, it accepts the security access (22351) but won't let me code the unit as described above, I just get "out of range" when I try to code.
I was hoping mine would accept 0020011 much like above.
Any ideas would be great!
As per OP's:
"VCDS:
This was supposed to be the easy bit. but. nope.
short version of what to do is as follows:
1: make sure that the camera module shows up in the CAN Gateway (17) installation list - the group for the camera is 6c
2: code the RVC module for your car. this is module 6c, and you then go to "Security access" to log in to the module (following the VCDS directions very carefully so you dont get locked out), then go to "coding'
this was a pain. there were no instructions with the kit I received, so I had to play around a bit to get this to work. the module I was supplied was a VW one which (it turns out) cant be coded specifically for a skoda. I wasted a lot of time here but eventually figured out that you could code it for a Seat Alhambra (listed in the options list) and it would work. the coding I used was 0030011 as I have a towbar."
