VCDS can definitely recode Motronic 7 ECUs (and others) - I've done it myself on V8s and TDIs. However, in order to recode it you have to log in to the ECU with a specific code. Only then will it accept the new code. There's nothing in the W12 documentation about logging in, which surprised me, but it may simply be an oversight.

I will have a look and see what the code is for the V8. As both ECUs are ME7.1 it might be the same on the W12.

Well i have found time to google about login to ecu. Now i need code to apply procedure,
Maybe code from V8 is same for W12 because they use 2 ecu module and same generation.
If you can find your code to try loging in with that.

Forgot all about this sorry - I did look in Elsawin but couldn't find it, and also can't find my notes on the manual swap so I don't know where I found it originally.

It might be worth having a poke around on the Ross Tech forums?
