Is there a helix programming discussion thread separate from this one, or is it kosher for me to ask what I should do in here? I already rented it once from dan, didn’t even use it because it was already programmed for a GTI/57. I reprogrammed it for an estate/60 later on (which I don’t really see why there’s a difference, nothing is different in front of the rear axle), and it still doesn’t feel right. Hurts my ears anywhere north of like 30% volume.

I guess I should be doing the low-powered estate, number 98 right?

This post has a lot of info in it, and what I used when getting everything ready:

To answer your question:
With a 7.5 wagon, most people prefer to use the 98 program as they don't have the 8 speaker system that the MK7 has (two rear door speakers). I have a 2017 with 8 speaker and Use 60, think it's pretty spot on. Most MIB 2.5+ owners tend to go with the "New" programs too from what i've read. The thread is kinda long, but a lot of the facelift owners talk about liking the 90's programs:

^19 Alltrack SE that preferred 97 over 98, but used 60 originally*

Two and half hours of waiting and watching techs plug into the OBD2 port for some reason, the dealership has no idea how to program the soundbox. Just completely clueless despite giving them part numbers and detailed instructions on everything. Back to waiting on the waitlist! (I have a vacation coming up in a couple weeks and I got impatient.)
