1.What is VAG OBD Assistant Function? Why do you need a VAG OBD Assistant? Where to get VAG OBD Assistant?

Vw, Audi, Skoda and other 4th generations of anti-theft system of the cars , in the situation of needing add key or the situation key all lost, the current market equipment can not read anti-theft data (such as Xhorse VVDI2, AVD,I AP PRO, Lonsdor K518ise and other equipment), or need to disassemble the dashboard to get anti-theft data. The steps is complex and risky, and it takes a long time.Now you only need to use VAG OBD assistants, connect to the vehicle and connect to the network to get the anti-theft data of the vehicle in about 3-5 minutes (depending on the network situation, or the number of users to determine the length of time)

After online access to anti-theft data, the system will automatically save the documents according to the frame number in the VAG OBD document directory, generated files, support the use of current popular equipment, can directly generate dealer keys, and learn key data.

For vehicles with MQB anti-theft system, this device can also be used if the anti-theft data cannot be read directly, but it can only be used to add keys. (for example, add the key of Johnson dashboard).A4L Q5 can not read BCM2 data directly, showing data length error, you can use this design to calculate BCM2 data.The 14-year A6 A7 A8 Touareg hui ang 5-generation anti-theft system can not obtain BCM2 data when all the keys are lost. It can also be used to calculate BCM2 data online, and then match the keys with VVDI2 APPRO and other equipment.

Note: The premise of using this equipment is that the vehicle can not be tampered with information, the vehicle state is legal. If the information is tampered with, then the data can not be calculated.

2.How to use VAG OBD helper to read out 4th IMMO data / MQB data?

1.Hook VAG OBD helper up the vehicle.

2.Click on “Read car info” to get manufacture, VIN, immo type, power, key count, key ID etc.

3.Enable the network connection and upload data to calculate.
The system is reading ECU type.
Click on “Online calculate immo data”.

4.Online calculate immo data successfully and saved automatically, click on “Yes”.

3.How to use Lonsdor K518ISE to program key with the IMMO data?

1.Connect Lonsdor K518ISE and computer using one USB cable, open “My Computer”, click on the portable device “K518”.

2.Click on “Memory Device”.

3.Rick click to open the folder “Customfile”, copy the VAG 4th IMMO data or MQB IMMO data, paste it into this folder.

4.Enter Automotive key Programmer K518 function menu, select “Immobilizer”, then ” 4th IMMO”.

5.Select “4th engineering mode”.

6.Select “Generate dealer key”.

7.Select “Yes” to ensure the immo data(bin file) is put into the customfile folder of k518.

Has anybody used one of these Chinese knock offs GM Tech 2 Scanner to troubleshoot the BCM on the 1996 OBD2 Vettes?
I am wondering if it can cycle the ABS pump, diagnose air bag module among other things.
The price is reasonable around $350.00 and if it doesn’t last that long at least it’s cheaper than the thousands I would pay for a used Tech 2 original.
Thanks!

You need to be concerned that the ‘card’ used is programmable using current Car Diagnostic Tool GM technology. I’d be concerned with the included years with the buy. If there’s ‘no card’ and just the hardware it ain’t worth squat. I’ve never looked at the offers of them so I’ve no idea of what they say is included.

It says it covers most 1991 to 2013 GM cars.
I just bought one off Ebay and I am going to give it a try. I purchased it from a US seller but there are others from China. I contacted the seller and asked if it would cycle the ABS pump on a 1996 Corvette and other body control module diagnostics, he said that it would.
It does come with the 32 Mb flash card for GM. He has Saab and Isuzu cards and they are $60.00 each.

Mercedes offline programming/coding recommendations and guides:

Offline coding:

SCN or CVN coding was added to the automobiles back in 2003 if not earlier . The idea of OFFLINE coding was to become capable to create SCN codings whenever you don’t have an world-wide-web connection at your workshop to be capable to execute this on-line. In both situations an SCN or CVN coding was necessary.
Let’s not confuse OFFLINE coding with basic CODINGS !

Codings could be completed with standard DAS or Developer DAS extra deeply. Coding doesn’t imply that you just need to replace your unit application totally. When you have to produce an Offline coding this implies to flash your unit with an updated application version or a minimum of exactly the same version which you have got currently (not sure in the event you will likely be capable to downgrade your software) and after that SCN code that a single to be activated within your auto. I’m not conscious of any car or truck which is usually OFFLINE coded without having the request for an SCN code.

The only good point right here will be the time required to perform this. Yes , you can make OFFLINE coding together with your technique then go back for the dealer and ask them to produce an SCN coding for you…however are u sure they’ll not charge you the same amount as if it was done in their workshops ?

The internal VIN of this auto (e.g.w211): is WDB2110261AXXXXXX

The first letter of the external VIN after “WDB” gives the physique style, like
– U for MB implies 211
– F signifies Sedan
– next two digits will be the model inside the body form, appears to be a direct copy in the internal VIN
– subsequent digit is in regards to the SRS system, I’ve found explanations as much as the letter F, so this auto should have additional SRS equipment than known when my reference was drafted
– position 9 is actually a verify digit and the tenth digit comes from the model year.

It is considerably a lot easier to seek out this if you enter the external VIN to EPC and let it decode the internal VIN for you personally. Then choose up digits 4-9.

Ps. 17-digit code & 6 digits of numbers

Office programming:
For those who want to program ecu ‘offline’, there are several options:
1. In DAS, you are able to program ecu’s offline. (In xentry, you have to buy xentry calculator.)
2. Vediamo may be the way to go to program ecu offline and is used by daimler factory
3. Should you want only for 204.041 as above, you are able to try to use 204 in DAS. and there is free offline programming
between those three options, vediamo could be the best and could be used for 99% vehicle’s model

Noe that: For those with Star diagnosis for 100usd around. DAS is your way to go.

DAS (older models before 2011, but still most cars communicate through this program)
Xentry (new model automobiles 2011-2016)

Should you set it up correctly, it is possible to program offline in DAS only. Then if we need to go online with DAS we switch the modified flash folder to the original.

Xentry there is no offline programming, only on the internet. Obviously, you need to have login and pass to go on line.

Btw, offline programing is an ancient way from the service,..nowadays its better to use on-line services,…its safety,..and quickly

The last, how to enable DAS for offline programming:

Option 1: (try on your own risk)

It’s very very simple to enable “Offline” programming in newest DAS version

copy this file to

F:\Programme\DAS\trees\pkw\flashen\ini

(click yes, to replace existing).
And Be Happy !!!

in case you not have this function for any concrete automobile – verify initially six VIN digits for this automobile, and add to this file in model section.

for sample – to enable option for WDD221054 – add text string to file :

221.054=YES

Option 2: (try on your own risk)

Open F:\Programme\DAS\trees\pkw\flashen\ini on the notepad and add ->
1st of all
—-A451—-
451.331=YES
451.332=YES
etc
etc
etc

IMPORTANT!!!!!!!

The options above are diy solutions from DAS users.

TRY ON YOUR OWN RISK.

NO A single HOLDS RESPONSIBILITIES For you.

If solutions above remain useless or you want a solution WITH SECURITY, please try option 3, the idiot solution.

Option 3: (use with relief and security)

Spend a little bit money on an enabled DAS for offline programming.
 

Though the DAS 2012.11 version is kind of old, this is definitely the one we highly recommend. It has been tested for thousands of times on vehicles, verified to work definitely.

And it also could be come with the full package V2012.11 MB SD Connect C4 with DELL D630 laptop, very convenient for customer who do not have DELL D630 laptop or do not know how to install software correctly.

This will save a lot of time for urgent needs. That is, users can directly use this set for offline programming when they receive the package (including setup offline mode in old DAS software program) and open the function. But they need set up WIFI and Lan cable connection by themselves if wanna do on-line programming.

In short,
For offline programming,
DAS 2012.11 is definitely the best solution for old automobiles before 2010.

For on the web programming,
You can use the latest version 07.2018 or 09.2018 Xentry program for the old and new cars.
