Are you familiar with the Mk. 6 CAN? I was told that in the Mk.6 platform you can drop in the GU1R and the vehicle self learns the new battery so no coding is required. I had hoped that the Mk.7 platform would react the same.

Yes & yes...
However by using VCDS it speeds things up & the battery life is better used. Also with either an AGM or lithium which are very different to standard or EFB batteries the MK7 platform might not auto adapt..or make full use of the battery.
The MK7 electronics are very advanced...best to tell it with VCDS as to what battery it has....better safe than sorry in my book..
