Top program!

Absolutely. It is a great tool for editing BCM lighting configurations without dealing with raw hex data. The SGO viewer feature is also very useful for checking firmware versions before flashing.
 

Indeed. It is a lifesaver for PQ35 retrofits (like LED tails on a Golf Mk6 or Octavia 1Z).

Just a quick tip for anyone new to this tool: Always save your original Long Coding before writing anything.

If you are messing with Byte 18, remember that once it is set to 00 (masked) in the actual BCM, you can't see the real value via standard OBD diagnostics (like VCDS) anymore. You need a tool like this or VCP to calculate the correct hex value or write the parameterization directly.

Are you planning to use the Steering Curve Editor as well, or just the lighting functions?
