A sample photo
Depending on the engine, the display also looks different.
What is needed:
ODIS-E 12.2 or higher
VAS5054A or VAS6154A
or VXDIAG
VCX SE 6154
An Audi model (A3 8V, A4 B9, A5 F5, Q5 FY, Q7 4M, TT 8S) up
to 2019 (Gen1 VC)
Virtual Cockpit Version 1 with at least SW 0300(for A4, A5,
Q5 and Q7) or highest possible update. (Updates are available on the net)
No
errors should be stored in the ECU 17. Delete or fix them beforehand.
The lap
in control unit 17 via the long coding > byte 01 > bit 3 to 1 must be
activated beforehand.
Limitations / Errors:
No errors are stored in the error
memory as a result of the change.
No mileage manipulation (checksum error) or
other errors like this will be shown with this solution. Everything
original.
The Boost feature (below left) is known to be non-functional. This has
something to do with the engine or the engine control unit.
There is no
A-Sport layout. Only the S and RS Sport layouts exist. If you use the A-layout
(classic), the S sport layout will be shown when you change the layout to the
sport layout. In order to change the Sport layout in RS, the coding must be
changed for this.
A layout and S sport layout
S layout and S sport layout
RS layout and
RS Sport layout
Recommended guide:
We recommend the instructions with macro
script, as this can be carried out easily and also safely against incorrect
entries.
1. Download the attachment, unzip it and save the file called
"sport_layout_vc.py" in Odis under:
sport_layout_vc.zip
enable_sport_layout_vcp.zip
C:/ProgramData/Offboard_Diagnostic_Information_System_Engineering/macros/
or C:/ProgramData/OE/macros/ (depends on ODIS-E Version, since 15.0 it should be
OE)
With default windows setting, you will not find the C:\ProgramData folder in Windows Explorer. To open it, you have to paste C:\ProgramData in the Windows Explorer Address Bar and press enter. Then you can search the right ODIS-E folder and can go into the macros folder to extract / save the file into this folder.
2. The car only has to be on ignition (do not leave the engine running!) and
open the bonnet if necessary.
3. Start ODIS-E 12.2
4. Connect Odis-E and
VAS5054A/VAS6154A/VXDIAG
VCX SE to car and open an engineer session / with the right project for your
car.
5. Select macros on right side and select the file "sport_layout_vc.py"
and press play.
6. The display restarts and the Layout should now be
changable.
7. Delete all error memories. (Is normal because VC was
restarted).
Hope it helps.
VXDIAG VCX SE and SVCI J2534 Which is Better?
VXDIAG VCX SE and SVCI J2534 which is the best VCI for Ford IDS diagnostic software?
Here's the review on Ford Transit 2017.
Ford IDS V127 is installed on the Windows 10 PC. Connect the vcx se with vehicle vai OBD and must switch on to scan the Transit.
We are surprised how quick it is. We are really surprised compared with SVCI J2534 from STIC company.
This is unbelievable fast comparing with that one.
The SVCI is also not bad, but VCX SE is 6 or 7 times much faster than virtual machine if you run the clone from vcm2.
This one it's in my opinion it's it's unbelievable fast.
Just give a click and we'll be there.
I didn't believe this software is so fast before that because I use a STIC dongle.
This j2534 as I said it was no bad comparing with vcm2.
I am quite happy to have this diagnostic tool.
The software react really quick with this diagnostic.
You can give a search and look on the internet the people who use the vcm2 Clone through the virtual machine how slow it is comparing with svci j2534.
So VCX SE > STIC J2534 > VCM2 in virtual machine.
What's more:
1). VCX SE is an affordable vci/j2534 device that has hardware/software to accommodate multiple can comm channels and car brands. STIC J2534 is compatible with less software than vcx se.
2). VCX SE software is always kept up-to-date. The VCX is compatible with V128 and without change date. The SVCI with red housing only can make it working with old loader and V125, I have to install it in date 05-05-2022 , and make a batch file to change to that time so it works and don't expire
3). VCX SE works without problem with Ford FJDS and FDRS programs for online programming. It is more stable than STIC j2534 when used as j2534 passthru device.
