SVM code programming.

[DarkMatter]

Do I need to go to an Audi main dealer to get an SVM code programmed into my Q3?

The final part of the instructions for fitting my tow-bar electrics says...
With a VAG service tester with the help of SVM code '050200' the software of the vehicle must be adjusted to trailer coupling converted D12.

I was hoping that this was something that could be achieved using VCDS.

As my vehicle came with the 'Audi tow-bar preparation' option is there a way in which I can check whether or not SVM code '050200' has already been programmed, using VCDS?

Thanks.

'Software Version Measures' code is required to download a specific piece of software. The code is sent to the Audi mirror server which then can be exchanged for the software via a secure login. In short if you don't have access to that server and a login, it's dealer only.

Thanks bigjobbo, looks like I'll be visiting my Audi dealer then, that'll hurt my pocket
