Note: This is basically a copy of the Audi S3 8P VAG PQ35/36 2010 (MED 9.1) OEM CAN protocol, with some small changes to work on this vehicle.
NOTE: PDM20 uses the 0x50 CAN message ID for communication, which might be available on some Audi (equipped with airbag modules), do NOT use on the same bus!

Additional information
This CAN protocol has been tested with an Audi A4 B7 2006 with MED 9.1 Bosch 0261 208 464
Passat 3C instrument cluster
Wheel circumference must always be calibrated using an OEM CAN protocol
When we calibrate the wheel speeds from an OEM vehicle (to make an OEM CAN Protocol), we always use the stock wheel sizes, so to get correct wheel speeds within MaxxECU, you must calibrate your wheel dimensions, since they are used to show you the correct speed in MaxxECU.
