<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n \nWith this SFD2 unlock license<\/strong>, your TOPDON diagnostic tool can perform supported write operations on Volkswagen Group vehicles protected by SFD or SFD2. This enables supported functions such as coding, adaptations and basic settings. The license is valid for 12 months and covers supported vehicles from VW, Audi, Seat, Skoda, Porsche, Lamborghini and Bentley.\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \nSFD<\/strong> stands for \u201cSchutz Fahrzeug Diagnose\u201d and refers to Volkswagen Group’s diagnostic protection system. It was introduced on newer vehicle electronics generations from around 2020, including models such as the Golf 8. Control units protected by SFD can generally still be read, but supported write operations are restricted without authorization.\n<\/p>\n \nSFD2<\/strong> is a newer level of diagnostic protection used on current Volkswagen Group vehicles. For workshops, this means that a diagnostic tool supporting only the original SFD system may no longer be sufficient for some of the latest vehicles. This license covers both SFD and SFD2 for supported applications.\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \nSend us your device model and serial number. We can check compatibility with the SFD\/SFD2 unlock before you place your order.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\nVAG SFD\/SFD2 Unlock for TOPDON \u2013 1-Year License for VW, Audi, Skoda, Seat, Porsche & More<\/h2>\n
