However, the core challenge for independent workshops lies in the "Online" aspect of ODIS. Many critical functions, such as , Software Version Management (SVM) updates, key adaptation, immobilizer work, and unlocking newer SFD (Vehicle Diagnostic Protection) , require a live, authenticated connection to VAG's central servers.
