I think initially the new MQB platform for Golf 8, Octavia 4 Formentor etc has security keys that are required before coding can work. But that may have been worked around by now
just found this on the OBD11 site.thats a bummer i wonder if there will be an update for the OBD11 to allow this in the near future
Pretty much this, and I found out the hard way. The car runs fine - it's just some convenience things I'd like to "liberate"on reading more from obd11 it will be late this year before it is ready ,shame but at least i dont get my car until october.
I went through a list of modifications listed on OBD Eleven forum for Leon MK4 and did some changes to my car. Below what worked and what didn't work.
1/ Deactivate overtaking right prevention - Thanks to zelue1995
- Select Control Unit 13
- Select Long Coding (0)
- Select overtaking_right_prevention
- Change from activated to Deactivated
That worked and I don't see cars on the left or right and Formentor doesn't slow down any more. That made huge differece.

2/ Lane Assist Point Of Intervention: thanks to tommy95
- Select Module A5 (Driver Assistance) ->
- Select Long Coding ->
- Select Point Of Intervention ->
- Set To Early
Didn't touch it, since I always switch off Lane Assist anyway and used another code to do it permanently now.
3/ Lane Assist Warnings: thanks to tommy95
- Select Module A5 (Driver Assistance)
- Select Long Coding
- Select Lane Assist Off Text
- Change to Set To Disabled
That worked, I think it also disabled other warning icons on my dash, because I don't have christmas tree any more, when I disable other systems. Or maybe something else disabled warning icons, not sure.

4/ Lane Assist Settings: thanks to tommy95
- Select Module A5 (Driver Assistance) ->
- Select Long Coding ->
- Select Configuration For Lane Departure Warning K15 ->
- Set To Last Setting
That worked. My lane assist was of next time when I switch on the car, even though I didn't switch it off last time.

4a/ Lane assist systems is a bit annoying that once it is turned off in maxidot menu - assistance systems, it turns back on upon cycling a key.
Thanks to tell @ www.seatcupra.net/forums/threads/obd-modifications.463977/#post-4961854
However this is the coding that prevents this from happening:
-> Control Unit A5 - Driver Assistance
-> select Long coding
-> Select option 0
-> change setting Perso_HC from Activated to Last_settin
There's not Perso_HC setting in Formentor, I couldn't find it. But number 4 solved that issue anyway.
5/ Deactivate Stop Start
Disabling Stop Start thanks to Phipilipipp on the seat-leon.de forum
I have seen that some users have problems with this coding on MK3 but It has been confirmed that it works fine on MK4.
- Select Control Unit 08 (Air Conditioning)
- Select Adaptation
- Select Deactivation of Start Stop Function
Value change was accepted, but start/stop came back on next restart. So doesn't work.

Some other codes from the link above which I used and tested. Not really needed, just cosmetic changes.
4/ Remaining Fuel Quantity thanks to massimo23
1 - Select Control Unit 17 - Instrument panel (Dashboard)
2 - Select Long Coding
3 - Adjust Volume to be replenished: Set to Yes if you want to see it. If you have it and don't want it then change to No
That worked and now I can see in left scrolling panel how many l to refuel, quite like it.

I didn't try Control Unit 8 coding, as I didn't see any of that needed or useful.
Control Unit 9 is blocked, so didn't try it either.
Control Unit 17
Seat belt warning off/changed
Control Unit 17 - Long Coding - Text Version (0) -
Select Seat belt warning - Default is Version 1 (European) you can change it to Version 2 (US) or Off
thanks to massimo23 forum.obdeleven.com/post/49811
Didn't try, doesn't bother me.
Offroad View in the Dashboard: thanks to massimo23
this is from golf8 so may be different setup on Leon
In 17-Dashboard
go to Adaptions.
Set Offroad to Display
Go to View Activation
Change the setting in View_10 to active.
You should see the following in the View cards.
That works, but view is different in Formentor. Not sure if it's going to be useful for anything.

Control Unit 44 didn't try, don't see it as useful.
Switching off sound actuator.
Select Control unit A9 (Structure Borne Sound)
Select Adaptation
Select Volume of structure-borne noise actuator
Select % you want 0 to turn it off or reduced to lower sound.
Didn't try, already pulled the plug from the device.
I didn't try code mentioned here, it doesn't bother me that tailgate beeps, at the beginning yes, but maybe it will save someone's life at supermarket, when they walk too close to the boot.

What I could still code for the Formentor with electr. Tailgate to deactivate the "warning / beep" sound. This sounds originally on
1.) Open / close by pressing a button in the driver's door
2.) Open / close with a long press on FB
3.) Close with foot gesture control

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It would be good, to be able to switch off start/stop, front collision and emergency braking at the back. Because even with Lane Assist switched off, I still have to switch off the other 2 manually and emergency braking is there when reversing.

As proved above not true .In a nutshell No
The only thing currently that can be coded is the Soundaktor.
All modules that you’d want to make changes in are locked from OBD usage.

Hi Agnes, could you link us the site and dongle that you bought for this? And the total cost of the dongle/pro software?I used USB Dongle I ordered yesterday, it came in the evening and I went straight to the car to test it.
I didn't go through German link yet, I think you posted it in the evening, so hadn't have a chance to look at it yet. Ok, read it. Nothing new in there. I already enabled Standard Cruise yesterday, but it didn't change anything.
