Plug into the obd with the vw cable. Go to vw menu and do a auto detect.

Instead of wasting more time on it just strip dash, remove eeprom and program that way. Job done! ;)

Don't know what setting you are on about, but the Seat Inca / Vw Caddy WILL NOT GO via diagnostic, the only way with Tacho universal is to take it out and go direct to eeprom

No lead mate. De-solder eeprom and program directly. Make sure dump is good before saving it. If you corrupt data you probably wont be able to start the vehicle afterwards.
