Excellent.

I just found this comment about measuring blocks in the online VCDS-Lite manual (https://www.ross-tech.com/vcds-lite/...sblocks.html):
Shareware Limitation(s): • You can only view groups 001-025. Groups 000 and 026-255 are blocked

So maybe you can't actually look at the brake switch measurements in group 66 using a third-party cable?

(I used to have VCDS-Lite but it was a fully-registered version that I paid for, so had fewer limitations.)

I should probably spend $99 on the "home mechanic" version as let's be honest here, I'm not driving anything else but Audis
