Jon,
ArgH!!!
I wish I was a better typist!
I just hit a wrong key and erased this
reply.
I was finished and just typing my postmaster close!
Here I go again!
Access to VW’s coding and programming starts with the VAS19 software download on a computer. For security reasons there is a $100 fee paid to VWAUDI.
That computer needs a LAN connection for the Internet.
The 5054A will be your connector. Bluetooth is OK for diagnostics. We want wires for programming.
You also need a clean AC ripple free power supply for programming.
It is also very important for long Key On Engine Off diagnosing.
I recomend the Programma 75 Amp power supply for $420.
Now that computer is for programming.
The ELSA website is different.
The VAS19 software for SVM/GeKo will only open when VW AUDI cann see your payment. $29 a day.
On another laptop we install the full version of VAS19.
This one will open and allow all diagnostic functions.
Including guided fault finding.
Guided Fault finding pops clickable boxes, situationaly, providing you with wiring diagrams, component locations, live data and more.
The 5054A head will go back and forth between the two installs with no problem.
Please tell me a little about your shop.
Where are you?
How many tech’s?
Do you work on other lines?
What other diag equipment do you have?
Please consider using me for any of your special tool needs.
I am a distributer of Hazet, Stahwille, Zelenda, Assenmacher, Sir Tools, Pendergrass, Timesert, Baum, etc.
Thanks for your time.
