2 Application and Use of the VAS 5054A
2.1 Properties
The VAS 5054A is a universal diagnostic interface for the vehicles of the Volkswagen Group
and all OBD vehicle systems from other manufacturers. The integrated Bluetooth interface
connects the vehicle with a notebook, desktop PC or test system. No cables are needed for
vehicle diagnostics using the VAS 5054A.
The range of the wireless Bluetooth connection is 5 to 10 meters, depending on the
environment and the type of Bluetooth adapter used on the PC side.
The Serial Port Profile (SPP) is used for data transfer via Bluetooth. Different Bluetooth security
levels are supported.
The following vehicle bus systems are supported:
K line (ISO9141-2)
High-speed CAN (ISO 11898-2)
Low-speed CAN (ISO 11898-3)
J1850 (SAE J1850)
The vehicle protocols are handled directly in the VAS 5054A. This ensures fast response times
and a reliable real-time behavior independently of the PC operating system.
Every time a connection is established, the VAS 5054A software is synchonized with the version
installed on the application PC. The VAS 5054A thus automatically adopts any new features
provided after a new software version has been installed on the application PC.
