The various computers in the car are
called �Control Modules� or "Controllers". On this screen, you select which Control
Module you want to "talk" to. Note:
Your car will not have all the Control Modules listed in VAG-COM, only
the ones on the Applications
Page for your car. Newer cars have more, older cars have fewer.
Each tab on the
top of this screen contains a number of different controllers grouped by
category: Common, Drivetrain,
Chassis, Comfort/Conv, Electronics 1, and Electronics 2.
Each possible controller is listed as a number and a description, i.e.,
[01-Engine]. The
number corresponds to the controller number that you'd find in your
Factory Repair Manual in the instructions for using a VAG-1551 or other
factory diagnostic tool.
To establish communications with a particular Control Module, simply
click on the appropriate button.

from various different Controllers (Engine, Airbags, Instruments).
