Default VAG-COM Reporting a Shop Code. Is this normal? (more)

I hooked up the VAG-COM to my 2002 S4 with all the default settings. I did not change or alter anything. I then went into the Engine module and there was a shop code being reported. I was under the impression that since the VAG operated in "Stealth" mode, that a generic shop code such as WSC 00000 should be displayed. However, on my car the Shop #: in the Engine Module (and I would suspect in all other modules) shows up as WSC 63351. On the "About" screen, the workshop code says 00000. What is going on here?

Default Not sure, but try here...

you should be able to find an answer by searching the archives, or post and someone will help you out. Uwe Ross, the designer of the Ross-Tech Vag Com software answers the majority of the questions. By the way, you missed a good lunch !<ul><li><a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/VAG-COM/">http://groups.yahoo.com/group/VAG-COM/</a</li></ul>

Default Leave the 0000 in the workshop code area... this retains whatever shop code is there right now...

AOA sometimes uses this to tell what shop was working on the car last.

That's what I though, but I've never had a shop work on my car
