I just fixed my own car after weeks of ******* around, if you got an RB4 dash you can probably use VCDS depending on what you wanna do, but VCDS can’t do anything with an RB8 dash.Lesson learnt do not try to reprogram instrument cluster by your self . I have fuxkup big time . Now it appears I have blanks original dash and the replacement RS4 B7 dash . I have no idea how to repair it . Cars now stuck at GF house . Swapped the dash over and it goes into safe mode tried to read it and immobiliser has incorrect numbers . Time to get specialist on the case with vagcom I think oh and another dash

I bought an Abrites clone to fix mine, previous owner threw the old dash away and put in a used one so I had no login pin from either the old or the new dash. Abrites can find the pin luckily, but had to buy a new transponder for the key as well cause no key dump was saved from the old one. There’s plenty more to the story and the fix, but you get the idea, VCDS could be useless in your case
