It depends on what specific item you are changing to ROW. Get an exact item and we can help you further.

It all depends on where you set the changes.
I'm really pulling all this from my head (nothing definite, just an educated guess) but changing your settings to "RoW" or other countries will define what your car will do in certain situations.
For example, maybe in other countries, they do not require a chime when you open the door with the lights still on when key is out of the ignition. But North America does so changing it to RoW will disable this chime, while setting it to North America will activate the chime. Another chime would be a seat-belt chime dependent on the country. God forbid someone is retarded enough to drive with a seal-belt.
Sorry, I can't really figure out any other things that might be different.
I've only found that changing it to RoW (in the Instruments settings) MIGHT make your light sensor more sensitive to light changes. That's what I've noticed when I changed it, but it could just be a placebo effect.
Basically, it changes settings depending on the rules and regulations of the country it is set to. That's what I think it does and, honestly, that's probably what it is for.
NOTE: I don't recommend and/or condone doing it though - just in case you get in shit by doing it.

Imagine you're new with vagcom and you have to search many threads to find all the info you need and some of that info is incomplete or hasn't been updated since the latest version of vcds came out... Do you think that's frustrating? Don't play Internet tough guy man. Somebody else already has that job.

Zvp thank you for providing a very nice response with exactly the answer I was looking for! Some peeps on here need to make things Soo hard and or prove how awesome they are. Your vagcom thread is by far the best one out there and will be my go to source in the future. Thank you sir!

No problem!
And also, don't worry about about the other members. They're both extremely informative and knowledgeable members of this board. You just have to put yourselves in their shoes sometimes because I'm positive they've probably heard these questions before, many, many times (and are probably sick of it). That may explain the hostility
But, I'm sure they mean no harm or offense to you, even thought it may seem like it from their tone. In a way, just think of it as them giving you a little nudge in the right direction.

Haha some of us just need to be reminded from time to time that we are not all VAG specialists (pun intended) and sometimes I need to choose my words more wisely

I have spent hours searching vagcom threads...hours and zvp has put all the latest pertinent info in his thread. I asked a simple (I thought) question what the purpose of RoW setting was and he answered it perfectly. Now it is here for eternity when the next newb wants to know what it is. Searches did not reveal the answer, that's why I came here. Peace
