Can I swap my DSG transmission without too much hassle on the computer side? I have a donor transmission that I'd like to swap in, but I am wondering if there will be computer issues. Can any computer processes be handled with VCDS? Cheers.

There are just too many to list....
Context would be helpful here. The DSG's control unit is INSIDE the transmission, so it really won't require anything but sometimes the CAN bus can get fruity and needs to be reset to "welcome" the "new kid on the block", so to speak, even though the new kid looks and behaves exactly like the old kid.

There will be computer issues.
They cannot be handled via VCDS since this is a BRM.
The ecu will need to be changed on the Bench with a BDM. Chiptuners can do this.
