Unable to unlock SFD - Golf MK8 Dec 19, 2023 18:43:22 GMT via mobile

Hey all,
I have a brand new Golk MK8 and want to activate a few features using long code.

Some require SFD to be unlocked but it seems OBDeleven is unable to do so or I am doing something wrong.

I open my hood and left door, connect the dongle and app having my cars system powered on without a running engine, perform a full scan, remove all errors but still get an error when trying to unlock Andy console's SFD protection.
I have two way authentication and my profile is up to date and I am using a pro plan

The error shows "something went wrong, try again"

Do you have any I put for me?
Am I the only one with this problem?
What am I doing wrong?

I believe it auto-unlocks SFD on the module you're attempting to long code when you apply the coding.

Unsure if it errors out when attempting to manually unlock SFD on a module that is already unlocked.

From the FAQ support.obdeleven.com/en/collections/3195142-sfd:
"To simplify SFD protection usage, we have created SFD auto-unlock feature which will make SFD protection almost invisible. If SFD auto-unlock is turned on and you try to change Long coding, Adaptation or use One-Click Apps in locked control unit OBDeleven application will automatically ask for the SFD token from Volkswagen servers, unlock control unit, and store value which you would like to change. You will need to have a PRO or ULTIMATE plan in order to use this.

WARNING: the unlock of SFD will not work if you are located in China. "

Hey ch47av8r , that's just it, neither unlocking the full control unit in the "main module view" or only for a specific activation/adaptation/long coding attempt works.
in short, i can't unlock SFD to write new value's.

SFD auto-unlock is turned on.
I never got the queston to input a "SFD token"
I have a PRO plan
I don't live in China

Nothing i try to do seems to work.

I have one question: does the hood need to be fully opened or is is OK to “unlatch it”
Meaning, fully open the hood or us it OK to keep it unlocked but not fully open?

As long as the car thinks the hood is open. Here are all the things people did to get their SFD unlock to work in the past: forum.obdeleven.com/thread/13788/sfd-failed

bumble: Does "Confirmation of installation change" in 5F need a Pro or Ultimate license? Nov 21, 2024 10:09:51 GMT

whataboutthis: le4dsoldier if you have a pre 2024 VAG motor that is supported and you have the Pro or Ultimate license you can code Adaptions and long Coding but after 2024 SFD2 STOPS YOU. SFD Can be unlocked but basic plan only allows you to use OCA Nov 21, 2024 16:52:53 GMT

whataboutthis: fliew you need to share more info, car year have you coded in obd11 or vcds etc there is no magic button to revert to factory setting you have to undo all your changes manually in Adaptions and Long Coding you can copy/paste if you have backup Nov 21, 2024 16:54:18 GMT
