They don't mearly re program the unit for it too work,
You were fortunate that the gateway you fitted didn't have CP
If cp were simply removed by reprogramming the options that you have access to in Vcds it would be possible in Vcds to remove cp
But as we have seen countless times with mmi updates activating cp on amps requiring a trip to the dealer.
Also if it was mearly a case of using vas to remove cp without connection to the mothership everyone and there dog would be buying clones and doing themselves.
And before one goes thinking a but that's a clone tool so it won't work that's been proven not to be the case either because if you have a clone tool the friendly chap at Poland or wherever using your cloned vas can use his geko login details or whatever the mothership is called and remove cp via Remote Desktop connection.
The only other tool I know of that can do cp removal is arbrites commander and it's a fortune to buy. And even then it needs a dump from other modules before it can do the required magic to remove cp from your replacement units

Vcds most definitely will not remove cp
Things like kessy can be cloned via a chip on the board
A couple other modules can be done like this
I don't know how the remove cp from Mmi head unit but they do as I have used one and I can say it does work
But basically for cp you have to connect to server in Germany

So, after replacement of control head module, the MMI came back to life with VCDS indicating "component protection active" fault. The symptom was no sound with speaker icon crossed out. I booked appointment at dealer just to remove the component protection and everything is fully functional again.
I want to mention that the exchange control module that I received from Hi-tech electronics for $375 was P/N 4E0 035 729 Model BE 6346 and it was exact same model and P/N as original unit.
Big thank you to members on this thread for sharing your knowledge and getting me back on track.

They estimated 1-2 hrs and came up as 1.5 hrs (282 CAD) on the bill. The report says:
"Performed GFF scan diagnostics. Set basic setting adaptation of MMI system for components installed. Performed component protection test plan after online connection and confirmed J528 front control head was enabled successfully and sound was restored"

Probably took 1 hour to work out how to do it.

I have had cp done twice online with Jack in Poland.
Once for MP3 CD player and once for the sds
Both times took him 30 to 45 minutes to download his software on to my laptop through my terribly slow internet connection and a couple of minutes to do the cp.
