I believe it hasn't been proven 100%, but Damien had a Chinese market charger and was able to re-code it to Europe via ODIS, VCDS is also an option.
Some details on coding are in the other forum items related to the PHEV and E-Tron charge threads.

Wiring diagrams seem to indicate that the GBT port and CCS chargers use the same 60 pin LV plug, but the configuration enables/disables the various comms to the respective pins.

And the comunication protocols are switcheble? In our market 99% ID4 come from China, and who wants to use CCS2 change port + charger to eu ones. Trying to make it cheaper, so asking if it is possible.
Thanks
