Difference between "Coding" and "Adaptation"

androdev · 10-10-2007, 09:08

I am new to VAG-COM. What is the difference between Coding and Adaptation? When would you use one instead of the other?

I changed my Central Conv Long Coding to enable beeps while locking but it did not work, so I thought maybe I don't have the alarm horn fitted. So I changed the long coding back to the original code. However, my "anti hijack" auto lock (when the vehicle goes past 20KMPH) stopped working. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance.

In my experience, Adaptation requires a 1 for on and 0 for off when in particular channels of the controller you are adapting.

Coding is a bit more complicated, this might be useful to you mate:

In terms of your problem with locking. What car do you have, and what year? It is possible that you have changed the coding incorrectly and disabled the antijack.

I have the Octavia-2 (1Z) model. I reverted to the 'copy-pasted' original factory code. No mistake in that.

Funny thing I noticed today: I changed "adaptation" to ON the anti hijack lock

46 central convenience
10 - Adaption
Channel 4
1= on, 0=off

And it is working. But when I view the long code, the tick-box against anti-hijack is disabled. Contradictory stuff. So I am wondering how these two are related.

I know Basic Settings is for calibration, Output tests are for 'testing.' But there seems to be an overlap between "adaptation" and "coding"??

My problem is solved - but I am a bit confused.

Yeah, thats a funny one mate. I wonder whether that is to do with the label file that is used to translate the long coding.

IE, the labels against the ticks in boxes on yours. I wonder if the labels are incorrect for some reason due to the file it looks at to determine the vehicle type??

I would always use Adaptation to be honest. I have activated Alarm Chirps and Antijack on an 06 Superb lately and Adaptaion worked perfectly.
