I retrofitted an MHI2 Infotainment unit, with screen and controls.
After a local VCDS guy tried coding in the differences between the donor car and mine, I had weird issues.
Ultimately, I resorted to buying VCP, to try and code it myself.

Picture of the "window" / "frame" this post is about (It shifts the current position that far to the right, this is "centered"):

Missing Model in the menu:

(Sorry for the image quality)

The solution was rather simple in the end:
I collected as many coding strings from module 5F as I could and compared them.
Code:
5F Information Electronics:
Coding:
    Byte 02:    00    -> 30 (Model, Reference from internet)
    Byte 15:    40    -> 00 (Equipments, Reference f. I-net)
    Byte 19:    E7    -> E5 (Equipments, Reference f. I-net)
    Byte 01:    70    -> 73 (Experiment, References had this)
It actually needed Byte 01, even though I am not sure what it represents. All the Audi A3 8V FL cars I could find autoscans of had it though.

Hope this helps someone searching for the same error I researched for 3 months now.
