Yes that’s true. I for some reason looked from the autoscan that OP has 3Q0 camera, sorry. TJA is only supported on those cameras as you wrote. 5Q0 does not support it.

But still, don’t downgrade the camera. G has much better tracking still than E.

Edit :

Had to check. My Leon originally had E index 5Q0 camera and that was upgraded to G. That also added adaptive lane tracking option (requires naturally that the MIB unit also supports it).

And CAN connections on gateway seem correct. PIN 17 for CAN high and 7 for CAN low.

But there seems to be some issue with the connection as there's a communication error visible.

So I have a supplier with VCP he his happy to lend me for a few days and I was wondering - should I update the software in all modules there are newer software for? Or am I opening a can of worms?
I was checking here https://vag-flashinfo.de and all my software has later revisions (assuming you can/should always use a later letter suffix after the 9 digit part #)

I am looking to upgrade the MIB to v2.5 with 9.2" screen and AID eventually, so wondering if I should do what I can with VCP whilst I have it.

DON'T. Just upgrade the gateway.

If you start randomly updating modules, you will be introducing problems.

For the AID you need 3Q0 gateway for it to function properly.

Thanks for that - I thought was probably best.
Will report back once I have updated he gateway and had the camera calibration done

Remember you’ll need correct parameters for the gateway after upgrade.

No need. It does not lose those.

AID works fine with a 5Q0 gateway.

Yes, seems only hybrid cars need 3Q0 due to fuel amounts being incorrect with 5Q0 gateway.
And yes it does work as I have 5Q0 in my Tiguan and it has also AID ��

Just a quick q - does the traffic sign recognition feature work if the MFD in the cluster is monotone? All the pics and info I have seen is with a colour display only.
I have coded it all and the system says it is active, but I have never seen anything come up yet. Although I am still to get the camera calibration done.... Which I will do once I have updated the gateway to AM software as soon as my acquaintance can spare his VCP

I think it should work. I remember seeing pictures of monochrome display with traffic sign displayed on it.

yeah, me too, although probably nothing will work until you calibrate the camera.

So, I finally have got my hands on the loan VCP, and been sent what *should* be the correct files to update my Gateway. However, I have no access to the VCP forums, so if someone was able to message me on how to confirm files are correct etc it would be much appreciated - if I brick the wife's car CoVid-19 will seem like a small mishap :p

You mean parameter files? You did not download them from the filemanager?

What are the files you have?

I have no idea how to use this. I have been given an odx file and an xml file but I cannot find any info as to how to actually use VCP and upload them

Edit : I have 5Q0907530AM-2265 ODX file. And a xml file of the same name. But when I have followed an old youtube video on doing it the system stops and closes with "error at sending Key 35 Key incorrect"
No idea where to go from here.

Authentic VCP? If Chinese clone throw it to trash bin quickly. You’ll ruin your camera with it.

If authentic ask the owner to download the dataset file from filemanager. Or you can actually do it as well as the files are tied to interface serial.

Genuine licensed.
So I found an AJ version .zdc file in the file manager and have downloaded it.

Is this all I need, instead of the odx and xml?
Thanks for your patience and help, it is appreciated

Well I can’t get the gateway to update. I constantly get error 31 request out of range In the parameter upload, or file not valid if I try thru the flasher tool.
I don’t know what’s not going right, and I’m sick of mucking round with what has to be one of the most unfriendly pieces of software I’ve come across. VCDS is far more intuitive. Might help I suppose if I could see a manual it seems you have to have paid the money for it before you see how it works....

So a quick question - why did I need to update the gateway?

What is your gateway now? AM? Then AJ is not correct parameter file.

There's Ax on the file manager as well.

I don't know why you upgraded the gateway? Due to missing message errors?

Agree, that software is crap to use. But it is mandatory one as you can't do without it on MQB cars anymore.
