VAS 6154 VCDS Diagnostic Tool

The diagnosis interface VAS 6154 with wireless network technology supersedes remote diagnosis head VAS 5054A and diagnosis interface VAS 5055. It makes wireless transmission of data possible from the interface in the vehicle to the diagnosis unit.

If a wireless connection is not possible/permissible, the USB module is used, which guarantees a reliable wired data transmission to the diagnosis unit.

It is still necessary to use remote diagnosis head VAS 5054A or diagnosis interface VAS 5055 in conjunction with the VAS-PC diagnosis software.

Infrastructure mode

In infrastructure mode, several network-capable devices can be connected together (network subscribers).

For a wireless network, a WLAN access point is required. This access point forms the connection to WLAN-ready subscribers.

Point-to-point connection

With point-to-point connection via a wireless network, VAS 6154 creates a radio network. VAS 6154 thereby adopts the role of a radio access point (Access Point). A direct connection is made between the diagnosis unit and the diagnosis interface VAS 6154.
