Hello again 
I used my OBDEleven (OBD11) to enable to two features in my 2016 MK7 GTI:
1) "State of Charge"
2) Fuel used since last fillup
Neither of which has resulted in the desired outcome.
Directions can be found here for the VCDS version instructions
Since OBD11 does not show "byte" and "bit" info like VCDS, I had to look for corresponding descriptions in the similar sections.
The functions have been enabled, but do not work as they should.
1) I can now see a menu item under "car info" that says 'refill quantity' but it only shows '0 gallons'.
I was hoping that it would show how many gallons of fuel I used since I last filled up the car, but it does not.
I was hoping that as I continue to drive since enabling the tweak it would start measuring how much fuel I have used, but it does not.
Now I am hoping that after my next fuel up that it will start measuring, since I enabled it after I filled up the tank, but I am dubious.
2) Also, I can now access the menu on the MFD to show "Battery", but the State of Charge only displays '---%'
I found a few references around the web for other people that are having this similar issue here, and here.
I wonder if this problem is with the OBD11, with the programming that I performed not being correct, or with the car?

1. Amount of fuel (in Gallons) used since the last fill up
Go into [17] Instruments
Long Coding - (Function 07)
Go to Byte 10
Enable bit 4
5. Display the battery charge level or SOC (state of Charge)
Enter [17] Instruments
Go to adaptation channels, (no need for a security log in with this module)
Scroll down until you see Battery Charge > simply change it in the new value drop down to "active" and it's done.
Usage
Switch the ignition off, then press (and continue to hold) the trip reset button in the middle lower of the instrument panel. It will cycle from first resetting the trip to 0 miles > show "Time" to allow you to change the clock > then keep holding until say "Battery".
Release the button and display SOC for a few seconds before returning back to the main screen.
