I drive a 2019 Bora and have enabled some hidden features myself, which feels very convenient. At that time, I searched for tutorials online and saw many people using diagnostic tools like ODIS or VCDS. I first bought an OBD2 interface scanner, plugged it into the car's port under the steering wheel, and then downloaded Volkswagen-specific software to connect to my computer. I enabled features like the locking sound and automatic window closing in the rain, which was very simple and only took half an hour. However, DIY modifications come with risks; if the circuit gets damaged, the car could malfunction. I recommend beginners to first check detailed steps on the Bora forum and back up the original car settings. The tools aren't expensive either, costing just over 100 yuan, saving hundreds compared to going to a 4S shop. The key is to be careful and not rush to modify codes randomly; following video tutorials step by step is the safest way.
