Feels like SFD. There was SFD 1 then 2. Not sure where we are with the rollout of that.... did a Google for you
SFD 2 unlocked for 2024 models | OBDeleven
Has anyone been successful in modding a 2024 year model? I learned from an expert coder that SFD 2 has not been unlocked yet. Therefore we are not able to code some of the things in OBDeleven in our
forum.obdeleven.com
If it's 2024/5 car then you might have fallen into SFD2 issues if it's prior then it's not that, that was sorted out. Basically VAG license the software to the coding companies then get income of it. If it's SFD2 then it's a teething issue yet to be fixed... I guess.
i have almost complete to enable trailer assist at Cupra Formentor Hybrid MY2022 with stock tow hitch and no 360 view , it recognize the trailer it shows at the dash to enable the trailer assist from the infotainment but i can't code the infotainment because is SFD 
The Vag crown jewels are in the infotainment unit protected by SFD and they might have decided to release protection on other SFD units via a compliant app like Obdeleven whilst still protecting the infotainment unit from user mods. So you probably need to keep an eye on the Obdeleven board. SFD 1 and 2. Fortune my car is pre SFD.

Reddit one here on SFD2
Let others read through that as to whether there are SFD 2 gems in that.

That will tell you what is open.
Formentor always had SFD 1 it's what SFD 2 may limit and 2024 models. The link is suppose to tell you what is unlocked whilst the Reddit link is worth a read.
The Reddit link is telling you to do this first which unlocks SFD:

I'm sure I'll be told whether this is useful or not.
Module 5F problem with adaptation and long coding | OBDeleven
Hi, I have been having trouble with adaptation in this module for some time. Previously, I could perform adaptations or long coding without any problems. But now despite SFD unlock it shows up eve

It seems I mixed up some things when writing my complain about unavailability to modify 5F module. Actually modifications under this module are working fine, the one I can not change is actually STG13 (to diasble prevention of overtaking on the right side) - long coding - overtaking right prevenion - disabled -> error message appears like something went wrog. Any solution on this?
I have some qustions whihc refer to coding from German guy list:
- Point 2: does modification under ACC to acivate classic cruise control eliminates operation of ACC, or it will be possible to choose between ACC and classic cruise control when driving? I would not like to turn off ACC in favor of classic cruise control.
- Point 21: parking aid - automatic activation when driving slowly forward: This coding switches the PDC sensors on when driving forward slowly, but in most cases this is how it is set straight from the factory! Experimental!
STG 76 ÿ Long coding ÿ Byte 03 ÿ Activate bit 4 – I get a message "function not available"
- Point 26: I activated driving school mode but not sure where to look for it in the infotainment? I mean, this is not important option for me but just wanted to check how it works.
- Point 43: I do not understand this mod, is it related to voice control of AC?
- Point 51: acknowledgement tone via horn and flashing (without DWA): I did modifiation but not wokring for my car, forgot to save factory setting before mod so I am now unsure if I turned back everything according factory settings (because some lines were already active compared to instructons give. If somebody could give extract of factory settings for this I would appreciate.
- Point 63: START/STOP system: anybody tried it, is it safe to use it (modify)? I still have not enough time to investigate proper option to turn off permanently SS system on Formentor, would appreciate somebody share information n this matter.

They like to take the beep off in gated communities so you can get back late without disturbing everyone. The beep with the door open... if it does that, is another one. I've seen people seeking answers on that. That one might be like stop / start more tricky to stop.
The tailgate can hit you if you have a pet and it replicates the foot underneath process. Not been hit but have heard the beeping start off with the feline charging left to right underneath. What caused that and ball of fluff runs out the other side.

The second one you can turn it off from the car settings , the first one I think no !
Did you get travel assist to work i have the same formentor as you had 2021 though and am looking to get travel assist retrofit/code. Think it's just the upgraded steering wheel and code.
I do suggest you eyeball this thread. It's what SFD2 allows you to do which was put in with 2024 models

It's still a live subject and I see trusty DV52 is posting towards the end of that. Suspect it's a suck it and see and a moving target.

Does OBDeleven work with VAG and BMW vehicles manufactured from 2024? | OBDeleven
support.obdeleven.com
Afraid OBD11 in my opinion is not worth the money till they and VAG sort out the interface for the newer models.
I am also fairly sure that VAG had put a lot of limitations on what users can do on the newer models as the business model is all about selling features via VAG shop.
Interestingly OBD11 have today released a new version that also works with ELM327 Dongle for basic scanning and they have not updated the VAG App in some time (in terms of new features or fixing the large backlog of bugs) it feels like they are more interested in the one click app model for BMW/TOYOTA (And there are more to come)

Work in progress... but if you haven't got a 2024 model then it isn't. Balancing act of trying to stop people getting features they haven't paid for, charging dongle manufacturers a fee / income stream for mods and keeping within European safety / security standards. Pre 2024 it's fine. It could be a re-run of SFD 5 years on.
