VAG diagnostic tool compare list: VAS 5054A VS VAG PRO 5.5.1

If you are looking for a VAG diagnostic tool and still have no idea before so many products, here is a compare list between VAS 5054A and VAG PRO 5.5.1 from eobdtool.co.uk engineers. It will advise you which one is better to choose.

VAS 5054A VS VAG PRO 5.5.1, get which one?

First, these two are both PC-based scanners for VAG Group vehicles, both can run on Windows7 or Windows XP.

Next, VAS 5054A OKI Chip and VAG PRO VCP 5.5.1 separate feature you should know:

1. VAS 5054A OKI Chip 3.0.3 €88/$96

It is OEM;

With OKI chip;

Support UDS protocol;

Support Bluetooth connection;

Support diagnose VW, Audi, Seat, Skoda from 1996-2013 and Bentley and Lamborghini around year 2011.

2. VAG PRO VCP 5.5.1 €45/$49

It is clone but tested work as the original;

Support CAN BUS+UDS+K-line;

Support diagnose VW, Audi, Seat, Skoda from 1990-2015;

Support VAG coding or programming (NO need engineer codes!);

Then, we discuss about the difference between VAS 5054A VS VAG PRO VCP 5.5.1

1. vas 5054a francais is OEM, so it fully supports every VAG model, but it’s slow and you need online connection for being able to do a lot of things. Coding must be online. (Need get software from VW dealer for online coding function) And ODIS 3.0.3 is best for flashing. But kind of slow when diagnose.
2. VAG PRO VCP 5.5.1 reads DTC fast, every feature is done offline, and work very well with Volkswagen Group MQB platform. It can do offline coding and programming as the original without need of engineer codes. VAG PRO is best for parameter and quick EEPROM read; It runs fast than VAS 5054A and more stable when directly connect to VAG ECU.
3. VAS 5054A support update online, but VAG PRO 5.5.1 does not support.

So answer on the bottom to “Which VAG diagnostic tool to choose?” is VAG PRO 5.5.1 is better and cheaper than VAS 5054A, but 5054A is also not bad. Both are advised by engineers and worth to choose!

How to users think of VAG PRO diagnosis?

** Audi A4 8E B6 owner says:

This model has a can-bus (TP1.6), but it is not connected to the diagnostic socket. The car is fully diagnosed on the K-line (VCP required interface + K). Used protocols KWP2000 and KWP1281 it.

** Audi A4 8E, B7 owner says:

This model has a CAN BUS TP2.0, but the diagnostic socket is only connected to the so-called CAN-Antrieb, i.e. Engine, transmission, airbags, ABS, Quattro drive.

In addition, a standard K-line. In other words, VCP fully supports the diagnosis B7 models, but only in the CAN-Antrieb. Other controllers are available through the K-Line and KWP2000 KWP1281 protocols.

** Mike talks about differences between VAG PRO (VCP) and VCDS:

I have both, and can say with absolute certainty that VCP does NOT replace VCDS in any way.

VAG Commander is a tool used to retrieve and modify information from the program area of the ECU.

VCDS will give full access to all control modules in the car for diagnostic purposes. It will not allow you to modify the program memory of any ECU. Having said that, VCDS does allow you to "code" a module - selecting different factory installed options. All diagnostic procedures performed by the factory tool at the dealer can be performed using the VCDS tool. In fact, the tool design is made to conform with the same terminology used on the factory tool so that factory repair information can be used with the VCDS tool.

s on your PC. VCDS only supports the functions built into the modules that were intended by the designers for diagnosing problems and effecting repair of those problems.

VAG PRO VPC 5.5.1 vs VAG-COM VCDS:

VCDS and VAG PRO + K are very close level features (there is also a small resemblance in the software interface of the two).

VCDS is the best known and most used of the two, so you more easily find topics on speaking forums VCDS that VAG PRO + K.

diagnostic Level, VCDS exceeds VAG PRO + K, even if it progresses from version to version.

coding level, some encodings are sometimes not possible with VCDS then they are with VAG PRO + K (RLFS coding, coding ESP, also VIM coding which is a "specialty" of VAGPRO + K).
more anecdotally, sometimes with some encodings require VCDS resume it several times before it is taken into account by the vehicle, while with VAG PRO + K it works 1 shot.

the VAG + K PRO software has a list of predefined functions, kinds of shortcuts to quickly do some actions without knowing the value of adaptation or corresponding coding.
It also has a backup feature and flashing the entire contents of a computer, that does not have the VCDS software.

prices level, it's a little more complicated for VAG PRO + K.

in official, there is a price to pay (€ 306.27) for the purchase of the interface (this price includes free updates for 1 year), there is a price to pay (50 € per year) for 1 year annual subscription to updates and there are also 3 price to pay to activate each of the three following additional features:

flash EDC-16 (65 €),

ESP coding (95 €),

access to all files for VIM coding on various VAG vehicles (105 €).

(it is rare, but the VAG + K PRO interface is also in clone / unofficial 3 with additional features enabled, clone VAG PRO for nearly 45€ from http://www.eobdtool.co.uk/wholesale/vag-can-pro.html .)
