VAG Virtual Cockpit Tool — MQB Cluster Utility

VAG Virtual Cockpit Tool vFinal — MQB Audi/VW cluster ID, EEPROM read/write, SRI & adaptations.

Quick take
VAG Virtual Cockpit Tool is a Windows utility for MQB-platform clusters (Audi/VW/Škoda/SEAT). It identifies modules, reads/writes EEPROM, handles key/ID data reads, and performs service interval operations—purpose-built for bench/off-road engineering and authorized workshop tasks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Windows version is recommended?
For maximum stability during ECU flashing and diagnostics, a clean installation of Windows 10 (64-bit) is recommended.
Is it compatible with J2534 PassThru?
Most modern software versions support standard J2534 interfaces like Scanmatik 2 Pro, OpenPort 2.0, and specific VCI adapters.

Thanks for sharing this resource!

This looks like a very useful utility for the MQB platform, especially given how tricky the Virtual Cockpits (AID) can be compared to the older analogue clusters.

A couple of quick questions regarding this "vFinal" release:

Does this support the encrypted EEPROMs found in the newer 5NA part numbers?
What hardware interface is required? Does it work with standard J2534 devices (like Openport 2.0), or is a VAS5054A/6154 required?

I'll give this a try on a Golf MK7 retrofit and report back.

You're welcome!

If you are planning to use this on a live car, please make sure to backup your original EEPROM and Coding before attempting any write operations. Virtual Cockpits (AID) are quite sensitive, and having a recovery point is essential.

Let us know which model and part number you test it on!

Hello everybody
Thanks for this soft
Plz I have a question

if any one have a tuto or video how to use it
And can use it with VCDS 17.8 ?
Thank for help

Hello,

Regarding your questions:

1. VCDS Compatibility: No, you generally cannot use this software with a VCDS cable (version 17.8 or otherwise). VCDS cables are proprietary interfaces designed specifically for Ross-Tech software. For this tool, you will likely need a J2534 Pass-Thru device (like a Tactrix Openport 2.0) or a VAS5054A / VAS6154 interface.

2. Tutorial: There isn't a specific official video for this tool, but the workflow is usually similar to other engineering utilities:

Connect your J2534/VAS interface to the OBD port.
Launch the software.
Identify the cluster.
CRITICAL: Always use "Read EEPROM" first to save a full backup bin file before doing anything else.

Please be very careful. MQB Virtual Cockpits are sensitive, and writing incorrect data can brick the unit (black screen). If you are new to this, I recommend reading more about MQB cluster structures first.

Bonjour,

Concernant vos questions :

1. Compatibilité VCDS : Non, ce logiciel n’est généralement pas compatible avec un câble VCDS (version 17.8 ou ultérieure). Les câbles VCDS sont des interfaces propriétaires conçues spécifiquement pour les logiciels Ross-Tech. Pour cet outil, vous aurez probablement besoin d’un périphérique J2534 Pass-Thru (comme un Tactrix Openport 2.0) ou d’une interface VAS5054A / VAS6154 .

2. Tutoriel : Il n’existe pas de vidéo officielle spécifique pour cet outil, mais le flux de travail est généralement similaire à celui d’autres utilitaires d’ingénierie :

Connectez votre interface J2534/VAS au port OBD.

Lancez le logiciel.

Identifiez le groupe.

IMPORTANT : Utilisez toujours la fonction « Lire l'EEPROM » en premier pour enregistrer un fichier binaire de sauvegarde complet avant toute autre opération.

Soyez extrêmement prudent. Les cockpits virtuels MQB sont sensibles et la saisie de données incorrectes peut rendre l'appareil inutilisable (écran noir). Si vous débutez, je vous recommande de vous renseigner au préalable sur les structures de cluster MQB.

Thank you so much

Good luck with the tool. Just remember to keep a battery charger connected to the car while working on the cluster, as these operations can sometimes take a little while and you don't want the voltage to drop.

I have also the cable Godiag GT109
Can i use it ?

The Godiag GT109 is typically an ENET (Ethernet) cable, which is mostly used for BMW F/G series or vehicles requiring DoIP (Diagnostics over IP).

This VAG Virtual Cockpit software generally communicates with the cluster via CAN Bus (UDS) using the J2534 standard. It does not usually use a direct Ethernet connection for these operations.

Therefore, the GT109 will likely not work.

You need a J2534 Pass-Thru interface. If you want to stick with the Godiag brand, the Godiag GD101 J2534 is the correct cable for this type of work. Otherwise, a Tactrix Openport 2.0 or VAS5054A is recommended.
