so everything they said couldn't be done I have now done. Thanks to the interwebz and forums like VWWatercooled and Briskoda, it's the guys around here that without them we would not have all the cool stuff we can do in VCDS and we would be at the mercy of the dealer network with their, for want of a better word, lack of knowledge of their own cars.
I am already now looking to see what other cool things I can do in VCDS but there is a bit of a lack of Skoda coding documents out there, you've really got to search and search and weed through all the junk to find the gold.
I do have one I'm interested in and that is Flashing Stop lights when emergency braking. Just like in the mercs and other newer high end euro's.
The coding is [09 Central Elec / 07 Long Coding / Byte 16, bit 1 & 2]

Glad you worked it all out! VCDS is a handy tool to have, although chances are you have done all the tweaks you will every want already... from here on out it's for reading error codes(and helping fellow your fellow VAG enthusiasts).
Sadly the staging doesn't work on the 118TSI Golf
Some ideas to look into:
Does the Skoda have hard buttons for the bluetooth phone? You can re-program them to a useful number of your choosing on the Golf...
Horn on unlock if you feel so inclined.
(although I assume you have flicked through the coding for each module to see what's there)

yeah I haven't really looked through everything yet but I will. Interestingly when I did the staging it said it didn't know a particular code so can it just use a default 12345 and I said yes and it worked still.
Horn on unlock I thought about it but I leave home very early in the morning and if I woke up my wife i'd never hear the end of it

118TSI Daytime running lights coded at dealer
It didn't work on my Golf either but I got it to work on a new Polo the other day
There are plenty of "things" the computer seems to know about but not all of them will work, best bet is to enable and test them one by one.

the RS has needle staging by default.
i haven't bothered with flashing lights with emergency braking. considering the number of times i plan on emergency braking, nil, i didn't bother.

Not too sure, might I only allow you to read fault codes ie. be a lite cable. The cheapo Chinese cables are usually that. If you can afford it then get a RossTech if not then got the cheaper VagDiagnostics one both have full support, VagDiagnostics were really quick on the emails too
