Code series used
What wafer are likely to be in the door lock. Code rules which can help quite a bit to ensure you are decoding correctly. Other features available are:

VW Heads UP
The new T7 generation is going to be one of the biggest nightmares we've seen yet in the VAG world because VW physically split the platform between their commercial and passenger divisions.

Here is the trap for anyone out in the field:

Transporter T7 (Cargo/Panel Van): Built by Ford alongside the Transit Custom. Uses Ford OBD, Ford proximity systems, and the HU101 keyway.

Multivan T7 (Passenger): Built by VW in Germany on the MQB Evo platform. Uses VW OBD, VW proximity systems, and the HU162T keyway.

Have fun out there and please let me know of any weird & wonderful things like this I can add to LARA to help YOU!
