I have seen the article and video about control maps and that an autoscan with debug level = 2 will provide useful information. However I also read the following on the product tour pages:
Debug Level controls how much debugging information VCDS records. A zero in this field (the default) means NO debug output will be generated whatsoever. This should decrease VCDS's susceptibility to interference by things like virus scanners (except when logging data). There should be no reason to set Debug to anything other than zero unless you are instructed to do so by Ross-Tech.
Despite the caveat "except when logging data" and the fact that clearly a lot of people have been doing this, I remain concerned about that warning. Can anyone easy my worry by explaining a bit more about this "susceptibility" and why it is safe for me to do an autoscan with debug level 2?
