Hi there i used the latest version of odis not vag com one thing to note is odis will rest the unit completely after a coding change. what I suggest you do is after you change the coding hold the power button on the radio for 30 seconds and it will reset it this should apply the skin let me know how you get on I'm not 100% on vag com as I have always used factory software I just no the coding should read 00000010
Apologise if I miss lead you on the bit change i just assumed on vag com bit 7 and 8 had to be changed that's why I put the coding up to show how it should look
The reset has done it - cheers.
So - for those using VCDS
Select 5F ( Information Electronics )
Then coding - 07
Then click on "long coding helper"
Go down to byte 17
Un-tick bit 1
Tick bit 2
Exit
Click "do it"
After it says code accepted - come out of all the controllers
Do a system reset - hold power button in for 30 seconds
You now have carbon background to the media unit.
