How to use ECUTOOL SFD Online System?

What is VW SFD Protection?
SFD (Schutz FahrzeugDiagnose= Vehicle Diagnostic Protection) is not like the historic 5 x digit security codes that locked control modules of old.
For new MQB2020 platform, VW have adopted a lock out system that requires a license to access the ECU. To get access to adaptations / coding and even output checks, ECU has to be unlocked by special Token.
Why must need VW SFD authorization?
No one will be able to perform online or offline coding / adaption / parametrization for control units without:
1) Full dealer access account with SFD authorization for ODIS online (Dealer Portal account + Geko account)
2) or SFD Token for the control unit in case of offline adjustments (coding, adaptions, parametrize) in ODIS self diagnosis or VCDS / VCP
For example, without an authorization token from VW, You can do a diagnostics scan but you can’t do software changes, coding/adaptations in the new Mk8/Tiguan and ongoing models.
