= Volkswagen SFD, SFD2 & Service Reminder Reset (SRI) with VCDS =
 
 
== Overview ==
 
 
Volkswagen Group introduced SFD ('''Schutz der Fahrzeugdiagnose''' – Protection of Vehicle Diagnostics) in 2020 to enhance cybersecurity and control access to vehicle software. In 2024, a second layer called '''SFD2''' was introduced, requiring cryptographic validation for critical changes.
 
 
This page explains how VCDS interacts with SFD and SFD2 systems and provides step-by-step instructions for resetting the Service Reminder (SRI) on protected vehicles.
 
 
== What is SFD and SFD2? ==
 
 
'''SFD (v1)''' restricts coding, adaptations, and other “write” functions unless a one-time unlock token is used. VCDS supports this system using a manual token entry method.
 
 
'''SFD2 (v2)''' is used in 2024+ vehicles and protects specific data changes using encrypted, per-operation validation. SFD2 requires Volkswagen’s online infrastructure and is currently unsupported by VCDS.
 
 
SFD and SFD2 do '''not''' block:
 
* Reading fault codes (DTCs)
 
* Viewing live data (Measuring Blocks)
 
* Performing an Auto-Scan
 
 
== How VCDS Works with SFD ==
 
 
VCDS supports SFD by:
 
* Detecting SFD-protected modules
 
* Displaying the module's challenge string
 
* Allowing manual entry of the corresponding unlock token
 
 
VCDS does not generate or request unlock tokens itself. Tokens must be obtained separately and are valid for:
 
* One module only
 
* One session (approximately 90 minutes)
 
 
'''SFD2 is not supported by VCDS.'''
 
 
== Manual Unlock Process in VCDS ==
 
 
# Open VCDS and connect to the module
 
# Attempt a function (e.g., Adaptation or Security Access)
 
# Copy the displayed challenge string
 
# Submit the challenge to a trusted token provider
 
# Paste the returned release token into VCDS
 
# The module unlocks for ~90 minutes
 
 
== Resetting the Service Reminder (SRI) ==
 
 
=== Vehicles Without SFD (Pre-2020) ===
 
 
Older vehicles do not require SFD unlocks. 
 
→ [https://www.ross-tech.com/vcds/tour/sri-reset.php SRI Reset Tour Page]
 
 
=== Vehicles With SFD ===
 
 
Some newer vehicles (e.g., Golf 8, ID.4) have SFD in:
 
* '''17-Instruments'''
 
* '''5F-Infotainment'''
 
 
Steps:
 
# Retrieve the challenge string in VCDS
 
# Obtain and enter the unlock token
 
# Perform the SRI reset within the 90-minute window
 
 
=== Vehicles With SFD2 / Gateway Filtering ===
 
 
Newer platforms may also use a diagnostic filter in '''19-Gateway'''.
 
 
Steps:
 
# Retrieve and unlock 19 using a token
 
# In 19, go to Adaptation and set: 
 
  <code>DE16611 – Diagnosis filter: temporary deactivation → not active</code>
 
# This disables the diagnostic filter for ~20 km
 
# Unlock 5F (or other protected modules) using tokens
 
# Perform the SRI reset
 
 
<span style="color:orange;"><b>Tip:</b> While in R-Mode, you can collect challenge strings for both 19 and 5F and request both tokens at once.</span>
