What year is your car?

Your battery will drain if you have a can gateway older then a version K.

They are probably refering to battery drain issue ......

You could run C version on a modified firmware or change the can gateway to solve the drain issue.

Although a B version on a newer firmware will still give you drain.

So in short its not the 'version' thats the issue, its the firmware on the unit.

You should be ok 2008 58 SHOULD have an L gateway so you SHOULD be ok.

You cannot be 100% sure though so you need a VCDS scan.

Later K gateways onwards won't give you the battery drain with any unit running any firmware  :happy2:
