Search on "Coding 101" and it explains how and why parts are coded.

VagCom / VCDS is a life saver for any post 94 cars
Just be aware because VCDS is now limited to a certain number of VINs the older Hex USB cables are expensive 2nd hand.

I have had a play with Calista and have a generic ELM327 running Torque or VAGEraseDTCALL in the car for emergencies but these are just get you out of jail options.
