Hope you don't mind me asking here, will VCDS cable work with ios software or is there any alternative to VCDS that can be used for coding?

I can vouch for VCDS mobile.

I've seen/heard of Carista about on Facebook etc. but I wouldn't touch it personally.

Today I have removed all the BG racking from the back of the van, given the inside a good clean and am about to start some sound deadening. I think I'll start with the inside of the wheel arches and go from there.

Any specific areas people would recommend?

@mikeb1810 one area I’ve found troublesome is the roof. I used silent coat under dodo mat and the silent coat will fall off in warm weather. I’d recommend just using dodo mat or similar on the roof.

I wouldn’t be without my Carista now, comes in really handy, it’s very good for amateur as it’s very easy to use, can do some great basic tweaks with it but is no match for VCDS.

Cool!
That's pretty much what I understood it's use for. Kinda the known adaptations/long coding changes.

Can you "backup" the long code/config prior to re-writing or is it just like tick boxes?
