Hello,

Can anyone point me to a tutorial or instructions on how to use certain VAG Flashdaten file with ODIS-E?

I have ODIS-E 17 installed and the VAG Flashdaten collection downloaded.


How can I update a specific module to a specific file from the flashdaten collection?

For example the DSG gearbox tcu, or the bluetooth module. (Skoda octavia vrs 2010)

Thank you!

Bet you need older datflash files for that..

Put all the files in the datflash folder and see what´s up for an update..

Well, since i believe you are DIY person, if you want an advice, better STOP and forget anything about flashing and Odis-E because you risk to f****k deeply your car and your bank account!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the reply! I do indeed a lot of DIY, mostly on BMW's and use original icom, ista, etc. 

I am familiar with VCDS for VAG  for years and recently got ODIS-S, but I wanted to get familiar with ODIS-E, and since the information available around is less that for BMW's, I thought I would ask here, where I see are a lot of people that use it properly

ODIS-E needs a good PassThru (J2534) or OEM VAS..
If something goes wrong when flashing, VCP "always" helps to flash modules ODIS no longer can..

Well, on any Vag car that the ECU/s are under UDS protocol you can execute any flashing you wish since the ECU/s can be remain alive on the network after any failure.............
Even if by mistake or just for fun you disconnect the diagnostic device from the car during flashing..............  
But when the ECU/s are on KWP protocol (like this of your old Octavia) then for to bring the ECU/s alive on the network if something going wrong you will need to use 'external tuning tools' (if you own the correct ones) or to contact with any special Tuner guy or to buy new ECU and so on..........
Finally do not compare BMW with VAG because not exist any relation....... NONE even in 1%!!!!!!!!!!!
Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!

Probably the best way if you never work a lot with VAG is to use tools like VCP or VVDI2 or Abrites (easier) you can use for reflash.

I started the same for a MEB vehicle platform (vw id6 and id4). I didn’t l knew anything. If you look at the hardware part numbers and software version numbers they tell you about the part you’re going to be updating. Also Odis E will check firmware file metadata to look for compatible hardware and it will tell you if the selected file is not for that part. I started flashing basic modules and ended up flashing EMU and brakes. Some considerations: 

• KVMS, VSM online account might be required for some modules configurations or calibrations after flashing. 
  
• Always use original VAS if possible or get a good proven clone (VNCI, VCX SE). 
  
• Use a good power maintainer when flashing
  
• Get ready to break the car while learning, keep calm and figure and fix things out.
  

My id6 is already using most recent parts production vehicles come with. Except for the gateway I’ve updated every module I can. I’ve heard gateway can be complicated so I ordered a new one just in case it breaks and can not be restored. I’ll mess up with it as soon as I receive the new one.
