Code it with the standard expert profile, so that it gets the new VO settings and see if anything changes. Just so you know it turns out you don`t need SIM aktiv.

Just to confirm: expertmode profile, normal procedure up to PROCESS ECU, READ ECU, select TCUM - no FSW PSW manipulation - just select straight away F2 change job, SG Codieren and execute job - is this correct ?

Yes that's it, it will then read the VO and set the functions in the module. This is what progman and ISTA/p does when doing retrofits.
