There are still a few modules that don't show up but was able to do:
- Needle sweep
- Gear # indicator (D1/S1, etc. instead of just D/S)
- Disable seat belt warning

Did you try the lap timer? Nevertheless this is great news.

I did but nothing happened. I'm going to ask in the other thread.

No I haven't. I most likely will wait until the final version to come out and see.

Looks like there is no need to get a hex-net if the newest VCDS is able to read the modules.
