How to Install VXDIAG 5054 and VAS5054 ODIS on Win7?

How-to: set up ODIS software for both vxdiag vcx nano 5054 and vas 5054a interface.

What is ODIS
ODIS stands for “Offboard Diagnostic Information System” – basically the tool VAG dealerships use to perform diagnostics, and flashing. There are two versions of ODIS, one is called ODIS-S (“Service” aka Diagnostic Tool), and the other is called ODIS-E (“Engineering” aka Diagnostic, Flashing and more”). ODIS-E functions more like VCDS.
Pre-Requisites:
* A Laptop with Windows 7 (64-bit Preferred) – 32-bit works as well with the latest updates / patches from MS
* A VAS5054a clone
Caveats:
Offline mode only, in order to connect to ODIS-Online – you need an account.
I used both this VXDIAG VCX Nano 5054 ODIS and VAS5054a clone. The VCXDiag Nano requires VXManager which installs a specific “PDU connector” for ODIS support, the VAS5054a works with the Softing driver installed out of the box by ODIS installer.
The ODIS-S (S stands for Service – the diagnostic tool) I used is version 4.3.3, and the ODIS-E (E stands for Engineering – more features) I used is version 8.1.3.
Installation went as follows
ODIS-E = ODIS Engineering 8.1.3
ODIS-S = ODIS Service (Diagnostics) 4.3.3
Patches = Softing patches (in case your interface doesn’t work with the version included with 4.3.3)
AllScanner = VX Manager (only required for VXDIAG VCX NANO interface)
[PRE-REQUISITES]
Windows 7 OS – 64-bit with the latest patches from Microsoft
[INSTALLATION-INSTRUCTIONS]
* ODIS-S – Service/Diagnostics (version 4.3.3)
1.1 Navigate to the folder “ODIS-S\1_Installer” then execute “OffboardDiagSetup-Service_VWMCD_4_3_3-B43_3_1_2.exe”
Note: when the installer runs, looks like the text is garbled but you’ll be able to select “English (US)”
1.2 Target Platform should be set to “Standard PC/notebook”
1.3 Diagnostic Interface should be set to “VAS 5054”
1.4 When asked for a “License File” point it to “ODIS-S\2_License_Launcher\license.dat”, make sure [x] Copy license into the installation folder is checked.
1.5 After installation completes, copy the file “ODIS-2\2_License_Launcher\OffboardDiagLauncher.exe” -> “C:\Program Files (x86)\Offboard_Diagnostic_Information_System_Servi ce”
1.6 Execute ODIS-S via the start menu or the shortcut in your desktop as “Run as administrator”
1.7 During first startup, the PostSetup dialog will pop up, “Select local directory” and point it to “ODIS-S\3_PostSetup”, hit OK
1.8 Click on the “Right Arrow” icon no the screen, and select “English (US) (en_US)” then click on the “Right Arrow” icon again.
1.9 It should state that update “51.0.670” is available, click on the “Right Arrow” icon to install the update.
* Softing – Update 
1.1 If you have a good VAS5054a clone, copy the file “Patches\pdu_api_root.xml” to “C:\ProgramData\PDU-API” otherwise continue to the next step.
1.2 Merge the folder\files enclosed in the zip file “Patches\ENABLE_CLONE_SOFTING.zip” to “C:\Program Files (x86)\Softing”
Note: you need to merge the files and overwrite, not delete and rename the Softing folder.
* AllScanner – VX Manager (USB Interface) only required if you are using a VXDiag VCX Nano 5054
1.1 Navigate to the folder “AllScanner” then execute the file “VX Manager 1.4.2.0927.exe”
1.2 When the installer prompts for “Select Components” check both
[x] 1 – PASSTHRU
[x] 10 – VW
1.3 After installation, Plugin USB Cable to computer
1.4 Launch VX Manager
1.5 The Device should be detected as a VCX-NANO, click on the “Diagnostic Icon” then the “Automotive” tab on the left
1.6 Click on “VW ODIS” then hit “Install”
1.7 After it’s installed, you should be able to Run “VW ODIS” from the “My Apps” tab.
* ODIS-E – Engineering (version 8.1.3)
Notes: the installation of ODIS-E is similar to ODIS-S – you start with the installer “ODIS-E\1_Installer\OffboardDiagSetup-Engineering_8_1_3-B81_3_0_1.exe”,
selecting the “ODIS-E\2_License_Launcher\license.dat” for the license. After the installation is complete, overwrite the “OffboardDiagLaunch.exe” in
“C:\Program Files (x86)\Offboard_Diagnostic_Information_System_Engin eering” with “ODIS-E\2_License_Launcher\OffboardDiagLaunch.exe”. Then
run as “administrator” ODIS-E pointing PostSetup to “ODIS-E\3_PostSetup”. After PostSetup is complete, execute “ODIS-E\4_Diag_Module\ODIS-DIAG-MODULES-ENGIN.exe”
which will extract its contents to Drive C.

Here’s what ODIS-S and ODIS-E looks like after installation

Wil VXDIAG Ford work with FJDS 116?

As titled, is the vxdiag vcx nano ford compatible with FJDS 116?

*Ford IDS vs. FJDS
IDS (Integrated Diagnostic System): Diagnostic coverage includes most 1996 – 2020 MY (produced 1995 – 2020) Ford and Lincoln/Mercury vehicles.
FJDS (Ford J2534 Diagnostic Software): Provides the same functionality and vehicle coverage as IDS for the model years below with J2534 Devices.
FORD
The following vehicles are supported by FDRS
2018+Expedition/Navigator
2018+Ecosport
2019+Ranger
2020+Transit
2019+Transit Connect
2020+Explorer/Aviator
2020+Super Duty
2020+Escape/Corsair

VXDIAG engineers didn’t test it yet. But some users have managed to use it without issue.
You’d better contact vxdiagshop.com customer service on detail Ford model before hook it up.


Customer feedback:
1. Yes, it works. Uninstalled everything, install the drivers from allscanner, then installed FJDS 116 and updated.
Payed for the two days and it works.

2. just did one 2 days ago and another today, yes after you’re done with programming with FJDS and PATS keys, you have the perform the CEI lock configuration.

3. My programmer arrived last evening (VXDIAG VCX Nano for IDS Ford/Mazda).   It has the drivers that are needed to make it work and you can test that the device is working properly before getting the required FJDS license from Motorcraft. You’ll want to do this because the most cost effective license (at $50) is only good for two days. Make sure you also have the FJDS software from Ford up and running before you acquire a license key. When programming, you just enter the PCM part number and FJDS pretty much picks up everything else including getting the correct VIN transferred into the used manual PCM.


FYI:
FAQs VXDIAG Ford FJDS

A: If you are using FJDS it will work .

Q:If i use this with a fjds license, can i program ford modules on the ms can bus? like the driver and passenger door modules?
A: No.
