What is the component protection of ODIS on VAG group cars?

Model: Audi Audi Various
Part: Onboard computer

In this video we see what ODIS (Offboard Diagnostic Information System) component protection is: it is a database of components of the Volkswagen/Audi group, which tracks every single electronic component and the vehicle to which it is assigned. Essentially, it functions as an electronic lock that ties the vehicle components together. This lock must be opened if we need to code, customize, or set a component, and this is where the ODIS system comes into play, which encodes and decodes control units. Naturally, we recommend having this work done only by specialized workshops, otherwise it is very easy to cause serious damage to the vehicle's software, as is easily visible from the video details.
