Works as designed
Worked as designed for Audi etron GT. Only tested wired functionality although it does come with a Bluetooth adapter. Did not use included software. Device drivers automatically loaded via Windows (PC). No issues. Worked first time.

Middle-Tier Clone that will work for most users shopping for one of these on Amazon.
The brief review is that this VAS5054A clone for sale by OBD2 HUB will work for most users that are shopping for one of these on Amazon (probably to activate various retrofits with a third-party). Just do NOT install the software that comes with; find an alternate source if you need ODIS yourself.....The in-depth explanation is that genuine VAS5054A and VAS6154A units cost over $1100 USD. Fortunately, various clones have been manufactured by copying the PCB, microcontrollers, and firmware. These clones range from ~$50 to $150+ depending on the quality of components used. VW has seemingly turned a blind eye to them as both ODIS and erWin require a (much more profitable) subscription.The best clone (1:1 for those familiar with reps) will have: all green PCBs, an OKI M6636 (SAE-J1850 controller), a NXP TJA1054 (CAN transceiver), an Infineon SAK-XC167CI (microcontroller), an AMB2300 Bluetooth module, and Samsung K6-series SRAM. All components are genuine and identical to that of a real 5054A.A top-tier clone will have: all green PCBs, an OKI M6636, a TJA1054, an AMB2300, an Infineon SAK-X16-series microcontroller, and Samsung RAM. Basically a few components (mainly the memory and microcontroller) are swapped with pin-compatible versions from the same manufacturer and family of products, thus having no effect on performance.A middle-tier clone, such as this one, will have the same components as a top-tier EXCEPT for the Bluetooth module. It will be swapped for a seemingly pin-compatible but cheaper module by a different manufacturer. My unit contained a BC417 on a blue PCB. The reason that this (albeit unfortunate) change WILL in-fact work for most users, myself included, is that most programming is done over USB which is much faster and more stable. Only if you have a specific reason to use Bluetooth with ODIS, would I then firmly advise against buying this unit.A bottom-tier clone will have all blue or white PCBs, with barely any original or genuine components. The firmware is made to trick ODIS into thinking it's a 5054A. This approach may or may not work depending on many factors.Ultimately, I would advise against these units as it's purely a gamble.As stated, DO NOT INSTALL THE SOFTWARE THAT COMES WITH ANY OF THESE 5054A CLONES! As pictured, my clone came with four simple DVD-R's labeled "1", "2", "3", and "4". Curious, I booted up a sandbox and extracted the 21-part .rar file across the four discs to find .txt instructions and some .exe files. Basically to "install" ODIS 5.1.3, you run the setup.exe, then the patch.exe to modify the boot shortcut, and finally the keygen.exe to "license" it. The problem is, the latter two .exe files also tried to install EIGHT various trojans and viruses. Not keygen-related false alarms either (e.g., Photoshop cracks), but real defined malware like Zegost and Sality. Nonetheless, because it was sandboxed, I let it install only to find it NOT work at all with Windows 10. Seems, all these cracked ODIS images rely on Windows 7.The good news is, most third-party activation services don't need you to install the software or drivers for your 5054A. They will send you a VMware image to boot that directly links your unit to their machine with a legitimate licensed subscription to ODIS and FAZIT. You of course also have the option to subscribe to ODIS yourself, or acquire it from various forums that thoroughly vet their bootlegged software to be clean and functional.I give this unit three stars: Minus one for it only being a middle-tier clone for the price. And minus one for the inclusion of true malware. For most users that are shopping for one of these on Amazon (versus AliExpress or eBay): this unit does in-fact work, and it arrives FAST via Prime. You're paying for Amazon's fulfillment and excellent Return Policy.

Came quick and at a reasonable price. Great stuff
I use this cable for coding the C8 RS6 and it works great for remote work

Works great. Comes with malware.
This worked exactly as described for a remote session. DO NOT INSTALL the included malware software. This is about twice as much as from China but it’s in stock in the USA and you can get it quickly.

Son tramposos no devuelven el dinero
Es el peor servicio, no devuelven el dinero no lo recomiendo, son muy malos en lo que venden

Does the job!
Works well. Didn’t use the software it came with due to the other reviewers’ statements about malicious software on the discs. I ended up using ODIS 4.4.1.Using Windows 7 for this is absolutely paramount. I tried ODIS installations on my Bootcamp partition with Windows 7 with my Late 2013 MacBook and ran into several issues, primarily with device drivers (e.g. W7’s lack of native NVMe support). I ended up just buying an old HP W7 laptop off LetGo for $20 to use with this.Both the wired and Bluetooth connections worked well.It’s also important to note that PDU 1.20.042 will not work. You HAVE to use PDU 1.20.041 with this particular 5054A clone and ODIS 4.4.1. You can find everything on the web, but it may take a while.In the EDIC configuration software, it’ll say the device is not accessible, but ODIS was still able to see and use it, so fret not.I used this to remove component protection on a retrofitted MIB2 unit and display for my MK7 Golf.

This works. Supplied software was good, no viruses.
I was super stressed over where to buy one of these.... This product has worked 100% well for me:The components on the pcb are not exact replicas of the original, nor are they the same as another reviewer posted. The product has changed I guess? But it works.The included CD rom has a good working ODIS installer and it didn't have any viruses on it.The adapter also works with ODIS engineering.***my experience was limited to using this on an Audi S4 and A4, both B8. I ran it on a VM running on MacBook pro.
