Cant remap using vcds.

You can do extra things like code modules abd diagnose errors.

Loads of info in vagcom sections

It's primarily a diagnostic kit that allows you to scan the car faults etc but also allows you to change the coding for certain features.

It has nothing to do with remapping and not sure what you mean by lights but I do believe you can alter the coming home light functions and things like that.

It's also known as VCDS these days. Have a look at the Rosstech website for more info

Standard lights cannot do this.

You can also use it to do data logging. Sometimes helps diagnosing problems
