Hi all.
I have vas5054a on a windows xp lap top. Ive had it for years now. However windows xp is no longer supported. I have bought a new lap top to replace the old one. My question is, where can I buy the latest software to work with the vas5045a obd interface. I have tried to copy the software across to the new hard drive but as expected no luck. Can I run ODIS software with the vas obd interface?

 

Thanks Dark Green.
As im not all that bright with computers, can you please explain a bit more in depth. It sounds like a good workaround.
​Thanks aagain.

Now thats what I call a really good reply.
Thank you for taking the time an effort.
I am going to take this reply to my local P C repair shop and ask him to do the work you suggested. It is probably a bit tech for me.
Having the original hard drive as a back up is a brilliant idea.
If I wanted to load the latest odis where would I get a good working version
My new laptop is running Windows 11. Im still getting used to it so not sure if its better than windows 10.
Thanks again . I will post back when I get your idea implemented.

I did a similar thing at work using software called hyper v which was bundled with my pc.

That might be worth a look. It was basically - create an image of the drive. Open hyper v & load up that image. It was very straightforward. There was a bit of tinkering to get the virtual world connected to ports but entirely doable.

It's a great idea!

 

But IETIS is legal to be used with simpla change of date, running it, and changing date to auto and that sdoesn't make ietis to close and you can use it till next reboot...

 

Funny thing but i don't know where it orginates. In my country we had troubles from russian hackers, Also i know about china and so on. And USA by the way is not last trojan making country.But i bought new legal copy for 45+ delivery and there is no problems) Or i don;'t now about them couse i never use antivirus couse it is ****.

I finally choose foxwell NT530 from https://www.foxwelldiag.com/nt530 for less than $200 usd and it works great. It just supports every thing DIYer will need. Really good unit that comes with lifetime upgrade.
