    VCDS security access codes for B9 Q5/SQ5 needed

    Got my new HEX-NET from Ross-Tech today and went to make some changes, such as display gear, and others. Found that for several of the modules, you cannot go into coding to change without entering the security access code/login for the module. Someone had posted codes for the electrical group and sunroof, but I need them for the 02 auto transmission model and the Central Convenience module. I spent over 2 hours searching sites for these, and the best RT could show me was “they are found in your factory service manual.”. That doesn’t help. Some questions:
    1. does anyone have a list of all the SACs for the modules?
    2. Where can they be sourced?
    3. After running and saving a full scan, I noted that the workshop code on almost all modules was the same. Only lights and a couple of others were different strings. Are these workshop codes related to the security access codes in any way?
    Without the codes to get into the coding blocks to make changes, my VAGCOM is pretty worthless to me.
    All assistance appreciated.

    I have the RossTech cable and software too. When it requires a code, simply hover the mouse over it and it will display it for you. At least it did for me and they all worked.

    EDIT: Just noticed "B9" in the title. I don't know if the codes are the same, or how the software works. Still. . .worth a try.

    Tried that on one module, moving the cursor by trackpad over the block, and no balloon with the code popped up. Will try others later this morning

    Okay, just went out and was able to make all my changes. I could go directly into "adaptation" and see the pull down menu choices without having to enter the security codes. So, success so far!

    I didn't dig deep enough in codes to see what was there, but from others that have answered this question, it sounds like VAG-COM won't do it, that a factory programming system is required.
