Now ... I got another little problem.
I was stupid enough to try "Code Default Values" because "Code" gave me an error (no idea why, tried multiple times, some ECUs worked, some not) and I got lots of dumb errors like windows not working, collision detection not working, front camera not working, stuff like this (probably because values were set to "no options on the car"-state). I restored from the latest saved files, now everything is running with no problems.
BUT, I read somewhere about these so-called shadow errors ... Will the dealer see I had all those dumb, theoretically without logic, errors? How can I remove them, if so?

Thanks.
1) Which modules gave you an error with CODE? Some module have no codeable data like ZGW, RDC, etc., so maybe that is the reason. If the ECU has no CAFD, it has no codeable data, so you won't be able to FDL Code or VO Code it.

2) DON'T EVER HIT CODE DEFAULTS! This codes the ECU to a factory floor condition, and does not use your VO at all. If you mistakenly hit CODE Defaults, then the solution is to CODE afterwards to VO Code the ECU based on your specific vehicle order.

3) I have never heard of "shadow error codes", and I wouldn't worry about them. If the car isn't throwing and error code on the Instrument Cluster or an iDrive Control Message, you should be fine.
