Request for the Software Version Management (SVM) fix - applies to lots of VAG makes/models
Copy of discussion from Golf mk7 thread below
The SVM question must be the most popular on this forum - I think!!.
But no, I never get bored by these (or any other) questions on this forum- they are ALL genuine inquiries that are real for the requestor! And, since the person authoring the request has made the effort to pen the words, the very least that I can do is treat it seriously!!
Actually, your comment has crystalized a concept that I have been intending to discuss for a while with the deities on the OBD11 mother-ship  - but I haven't managed to put my thoughts in writing yet (my real life has a much higher priority than my virtual identity as dv52 (Australia) !!). I'd welcome your comment on my idea - and the views of others reading this reply
As you will be aware, lots of "more informed" forum colleagues are wary of One Click Apps (OCAs) because they leave no records of changes made.  Clearly OCAs have a reasonable appeal with OBD11 users in general and I'm guessing that the facility must result in a commercial advantage for the shareholders. 
I don't use OCAs, but my uneducated observation is that they are focused exclusively on tweaks! Why not extend the scope of OCAs to include diagnostics?
I'm not sure how extensive this new class of OCA would be (probably not a big field)- but the SVM fix would appear to be a perfect example where the OCA could read adaptation channel setting, then calculate the XOR value and apply the answer (and clear the error-code if needed). 
Given that the ONE SVM procedure works for a number of different vehicles in the VAG stable, I suspect that it could be applied to many make/models.
What do you think?
