Vehicles are reliable for their transport needs. Low cost of used vehicles is popular among people. The majority of used vehicles is reliable and gives you no trouble. However, before you buy a VAS 5054A , you need to consider some points; after you buy one, you should have it repaired and maintained with diagkey tools regularly.
You should be ensuring the used vehicle should give you good service, or you will spend much money and time on repairing it to workshop or by auto diagnostic tool yourself. Then you should have the used vehicle inspected. If the dealer reject, you can buy somewhere else. 

Often the inspection should include a test drive over a bad road. It is better to have a little money on this rather than spend more on repairing with auto diagnostic tools e.g. VAS 5054A or workshop. In brief, you should follow these advices to buy a second-hand vehicle.

VAS 5054A Can Connect My Car via Bluetooth

My friend felt worried, when I told him that I bought VAS 5054A from China. But in fact, this VAG diagnostic tool works great. I just spent 79 dollars and I got my package in ten days in London. Nothing is damaged or broken.
I met a little trouble due to operation system. My PC is Win 7, VAS 5054A is not fit on my laptop. I contacted with the seller. They told me that it supports Win XP only. They gave me a link in time:
I downloaded the Win XP system on my laptop. And VAS 5054A can work smoothly.

When using, I do not need any cables. It can easily connect my Audi A6 via Bluetooth. I also diagnosed my brother car VW, it worked great. I heard that it can support all OBD vehicles systems. I need time to test it in following days.

K-TAG ECU Programming Tool Mater Version ONLY US$99

K-TAG ECU Programmer Customer Use experience:
I bought a K-TAG ECU Programming Tool from UOBD2  last month. The following parts are my real experience with it.
KTAG was operated well on Windows XP computer system. It is said that it can also work on Win 7 professional. I have not tried it yet.
 ktag ecu
  is quite easy to operate. I have mastered relevant knowledge about protocols, so use KTAG is a piece of cake for me. I have got hardware. I chose the protocol to enable and then it started programming. I connected the device to the diagnostic OBD16 pin port to install the software according to the . The software displayed “Read the ECU” after installation. Then I closed the software when it successfully read the message. Finally, I was allowed to disconnect the KTAG from the pin port.
The  ktag ecu  programmer also allowed me to download new information to my car computer to increase power band and store the original stock computer program.

Broadly speaking, K-TAG is really a reliable tool for ECU programming.

How to scan BMW with BMW ICOM BMW ISIS ISID A B C

BMW ICOM A2 would be the most up-to-date BMW diagnostic tool
All contemporary BMW models use various diagnostic systems. Accessing all of them calls for specialized hardware. Depending on the process you wish to engage, obtaining a BMW scanner or code
reader (just like BMW ICOM-the newest BMW diagnostic tool) might be either hard or tough and expensive. Second generation On-Board Diagnostic scanners would be the most common and easy to discover. Other
systems, like Supplemental Restraint Program air bags, are usually not readily offered for the general consumer. Irrespective of the system, the procedure of retrieving codes and arriving at a diagnosis is
comparable.
BMW ICOM Instructions
1) Open the BMW’s driver-side door. Appear into the leg-space beneath the dashboard. There, you will discover 16 pin-receiving Information Link Connector. This DLC outlet is featured in unique areas,
depending on the model of BMW that you are working with. Some might readily seen, but other people may perhaps be concealed behind an access panel. Need to you have got difficulty locating your BMW’s DLC outlet, there is certainly an
on the web application that could assist (see Resources).
2) Connect your BMW ICOM to the DLC outlet. For most BMW ICOMs, this is a similar process. A scanner or perhaps a code reader ordinarily includes a diagnostic cable with a 16-prong plug. Connect the
cable to the BMW ICOM, and plug the cable in to the DLC outlet.
Switch your BMW ICOM on. Then slide your BMW’s important in to the vehicle’s ignition. Switch to “On.” This may activate the BMW’s electrical array. Based on the BMW ICOM plus the method you are
working with, you may also need to have an active engine. If this can be the case, get started the automobile’s engine at this time.
4) Wait some seconds to a minute. Your BMW ICOM and the vehicle’s diagnostic process will establish a connection. Some BMW scanners, as soon as an incoming information stream is detected, will automatically
retrieve active difficulty codes. In the event you don’t possess a BMW ICOM preprogrammed to do this, seek the advice of your BMW ICOM’s handbook. Button configurations and common layout differ by brand and type of
diagnostic handheld. Your BMW ICOM’s handbook will detail the exact instructions on the best way to enter a code-retrieving command.
five) Look by the codes on your BMW ICOM’s display screen. How the codes are displayed also is determined by the BMW diagnostic tools that you are utilizing. OBD-II codes are alphanumeric, along with the very first
letter with the trouble code will specify where the problem is positioned. Anti-locking brake codes usually be purely numerical. Many BMW scanners will even differentiate a code’s status. Any code
listed as “pending” are infrequent malfunctions; these problems have not activated a single of your BMW’s warning lights.
6) Copy the active difficulty codes onto a separate sheet of paper. In case you are utilizing more than BMW ICOM and troubleshooting more than one diagnostic technique, be certain you categorize this list.
Columns are useful methods to netanize trouble codes. This can be also correct for OBD-II diagnostics, which acts as an umbrella for many varieties of codes. For example, P-codes cover the BMW’s powertrain,
though B, C, and U codes cover the physique, chassis and network communications method.
7) Look up every single code pulled from the BMW. BMW ICOM handbooks will consist of coding definitions. OBD-II scanners, for example, present generic coding lists fantastic for all post-1996 vehicles. On the other hand,
you’ll have to go on the net to locate BMW’s supplemental OBD-II codes. As a general rule, a vehicle’s owner’s manual won’t include coding definitions for any diagnostic technique. However, difficulty
codes can very easily be identified online (see Resources). Listed here are I provide a PDF file which lists coding definitions: BMW ICOM A2
eight) Copy the suitable definitions to their corresponding difficulty codes. Read by means of all the definitions and make a choice. For those who have the mechanical practical experience, you’ll be able to try DIY fixes
on a number of the issues. However, some diagnostic systems, like ABS brakes, are very complicated and should be deferred to a educated mechanic.
9) Take your code list with you, when you decide to seek advice from a BMW-certified mechanic. This list will save you funds in diagnostic costs.
Video demo on how to set up and use BMW ICOM
First part
BMW ICOM Guidelines & Warnings
Most scanners can only read 1 diagnostic method. As an example, some OBD-II scanners cannot translate ABS codes. As technology progresses, some newer types of diagnostic are becoming

multifunctional, BMW ICOMs is such tool which not only support one program also cost much a lot more than a simple one-system code reader.
