Volkswagen Audi Group (VAG) software updates…
Aftermarket tow bar fitting is still being affected by the software access problem on new VAG vehicles.
It appears that currently, software updates to all late 2024 and 2025 VAG vehicles is not possible due to the encryption algorithm they are using on their vehicles. VAG have used a secure encryption code that is required to access the software and up to now they have not given access to the aftermarket, this includes VAG dealerships.
According to the company that supplies us with vehicle coding, VAG is due to release the encryption keys at any time now. (An update will be published once this happens.
For the moment, we are fitting customer vehicles with the approved tow bar electrics and will be going out to update the vehicle software once the update is available.
