Bottom number is the Software version NOT the part number, if you look middle 3 numbers are different, 910 instead of 614.

Your software should be 4E0 910 517 A (VAG Number)
If you go to advance ID you should get the part number (BD for example) which is 4E0 614 517 x or xx

Well, yeah, it's a bit of a struggle due to wrong PNs being installed, but heads up, we will get there

Hold on, so you logged in to W12 LWB, coded it so what's wrong with it??
Do you get any errors??
Any lights on the dash??
So it does accept coding or not if you said you recoded it??

Out of range means usually that unit is dead so it doesn't matter even if its the correct PN or not, it will say same thing for any dead unit

That could mean just that unit which you've installed is fully working, but not compatible ??? Unless needs adopting? test drive? or other bits adopting?
I'm not an expert, but in my opinion non of the above, it's just the wrong part number in my opinion.

From my experience I was able to code modules (coding accepted) even if coding was wrong for the spec of my car, but it wasn't functioning properly.
