What fools.

Do this and within 6 weeks there will be a YT video of a guy worth a crazy accent jailbreaking the car's hidden hp. Probably with a $2 thing you can buy online.

Nah you'll need a $300 VCDS (or rent a legit one somewhere like eBay)...or at least a $20 AliExpress clone and a burner laptop/windows VM to plug it into.

More likely, your friendly neighborhood VW enthusiast, or your introverted-but-adderalled-VW-driving-nerd-slash-aliexpress-enthusiest (ahem) will do it for $50 bucks and half a blunt.
