<p><strong>Component Protection is part of the security strategy on some Audi and VW vehicles. It is designed to stop the exchange of components between different vehicles, without authorization. In other words, control modules must be matched to the vehicle’s VAG online database.</strong></p><p><strong>Here at Clusterfix Texas, we can clone your original data from the faulty module over to the new or used replacement module so that it can be addapted to your vehichle.</strong></p><p><strong>What is Component Protection?</strong></p><p>Each control module is locked with Component Protection data, and stores a crypt code of the model and the matching CAN Gateway of the original vehicle. When a part / module is installed in another vehicle, the code contained in the new CAN Gateway does not match. This triggers an anti-theft feature and Component Protection Fault / DTC. As a result, the part will now be limited to being partially operable — until the CP has been removed and reconfigured for the current vehicle.</p><p><strong>Here are some modules with component protection :</strong></p><ul><li><p><strong>Power Seat Memory</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>Transmission Control</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>Engine Control</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>ABS Control Module</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>MMI Controller</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>CD Changer / MP3</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>Comfort / Convenience Module</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>Airbag Module</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>Can Gateway</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>Steering Lock</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>HVAC Control</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>Air Con Control</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>Driver ID Module</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>Amplifier Modules</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>Instrument Cluster</strong><br><br><strong>What Is VAG Component Protection?</strong><br>Component protection is a security lock applied by the Volkswagen group to lock each module to a specific car which stops stolen parts to be installed in another vehicle.<br><strong>Models We Repair Include:<br>Audi</strong> – A3, A3 E-TRON, A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, TT, S3, S4, S5, S6, S7, S8, TTS,RS3, RS4, RS5, RS6, RS7, TTRS, Q3, Q5, Q7, Q8, SQ5, SQ8 and R8<br><strong>VW</strong> – Passat, Taos, Tiguan, Arteon, Atlas, Golf GTI, ID.4, Jetta, Touran, Toureg, Beetle and Up!</p></li></ul>
