It is possible to flush modules with a service odis only having dealer online access, offline they can do coding, adaptations, diagnostics, run convenient service procedures (with tips on what and how to do), for example, DSG adaptation, etc. All the same can be done for example VCDS, but you need to know how to do it – there will be no prompts in software.
VAS6154 (Chinese) works with Odis in J2534 mode, it is dangerous for them to update the firmware of units
a) if money is not a problem – the original VAS6154 (~ 1000 euros)
b) a good quality copy of VAS5054a.
c) an original adapter with j2534 passthru support, for example MongoosePro® VW / Audi or any other e.g. Chipsoft Lite / Mid, Scanmatik 2 pro, Dialink, Mongoose
as of March 2019
ODIS Service 5.1. *
ODIS Engineering 9.0. *
in new versions, the manufacturer fixes bugs, adds support for new machines,
so if you are not going to work with new VAG models, a new version of ODIS is optional
Windows 7 and 10 – for newer versions of ODIS
there is such a feature VAS5054a is officially supported only on Windows 7
i.e. Windows 10 VAS5054 will not work with newer versions
Windows XP, 7, 8.1, 10 – for older versions, for example ODIS Service 3.0.3 and Engineering 6.6.1
you cannot officially do this – new versions of ODIS work with VAS5054 only on Win7
a) install a virtual machine (VMWare, VirtualBox) with Win7 and run fresh versions of ODIS
b) install old versions of ODIS – for example, ODIS Service 3.0.3 and Engineering 6.6.1 (you just need to set compatibility mode with Win7 in the launcher settings)
c) install j2534 drivers for VAS5054 (this method is unstable)
d) use the crack solution, crack an odis to support vas5054 on Win10
1. – install Odis. as for PC / Laptop, adapter 6154, specify the folder with licenses
2. – copy the contents of the folder to
“C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Offboard_Diagnostic_Information_System_Service”
3. – install D-PDU_APISetup.exe (the archive contains version 1.20.042!)
copy 1.20.042 dir to “C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Softing \ D-PDU API \”
copy pdu_api_root.xml into “C: \ ProgramData \ D-PDU API \”
run D-PDU_API_root_path.reg (FYI: will write the correct path for the D-PDU API settings)
4. – Installation of projects. We start ODIS from the administrator ( this is an ODIS feature), specify the path to projects, etc.
– Installed ODIS-S 5.1.6 for PC / Laptop, 6154 (optional, check above, but … then you need the directory 1.20.042 from the 3.x ODIS-S archive)
– Installed ODIS-E 11.0.0 for PC / Laptop, 6154
– VAS5054 adapter supporting D-PDU_API 1.20.042 (other versions not tested)
2. Copy and replace the “plugins” directory in “C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Offboard_Diagnostic_Information_System_Engineering \”
// After installing the D-PDU_API, you can select EDIC_D_PDU_API_OE (! Last letter ” E “,” S “- for ODIS-S) in the” PDU_API Test Application “and test.
