VAS5054A adapters clone are multi-choice, they differ from each other in price & PCB chips being used. Question arise which one has the better quality? And what’s the difference between these one and the one with OKI chip?
Here we go.
Part 1: the differences:
- Differ in price: good clone VAS5054A price usually range 90dollars and up.
- Differ in PCB:
Here I only list the available top 4 versions well-received ones:
- l Best Green PCB
With AMB 2300 (works more stably)
With OKI chip (works on UDS Protocol)
Compatible with the newest ODIS 4.1.3 crack.
Works on: VW, AUDI, SKODA, SEAT Bentley and Lamborghini
Flashing works
Online coding works (with VW dealer software)
- l Green PCB with OKI chip
With OKI chip and works on UDS Protocol.
Compatible with the newest ODIS 4.1.3 crack.
Works on: VW, AUDI, SKODA, SEAT Bentley and Lamborghini
Flashing works (The experience has verify this)
Online coding works (with VW dealer software)
- l The blue one with OKI chip
Works on: VW, AUDI, SKODA, SEAT Bentley and Lamborghini
Flashing works (The experience has verify this)
Online coding works (with VW dealer software)
- l The cheapest one PCB
Works on: VW, AUDI, SKODA, SEAT Bentley and Lamborghini
Flashing works (The experience has verify this)

Buying tips on how to buy best VAS5054A :
Q: But unfortunately, like always with the Chinese stores, the picture doesn’t matter much.
A: so advice you buy from the old famous shop, better the one your friend always buy from i.e http://www.obd2diy.fr.
Q: There isn’t HQ clone at all or just in Chinese market?
A: It’s not true, this point of view is something unprofessional.
Q: Whether it is worth to buy the HQ clone VAS5054 interface ?
A: Usually, follow the above tips to select is correct.
In fact, it’s common to rework on the clone VAS5054, I’d like to share how I rework VAS5054, here instruction:
The Bluetooth module is a fake one since it has no capacitors and no resistances on the back.
Tips:
The rework job is something risky if you are not qualified, so take the below instruction or not, it depends on you.
It needs to remove the black transistor completely for the LT3010EMS8E that gets placed in there.
It’s true that voltage regulator that is commonly found on most clone units is actually better because it outputs more current than the original LT3010EMS8E. Because the dedicated regulator used in genuine units is not used with his “fine tuning” options enabled. That makes him to act as a simple voltage regulator and not as an advanced one, even if the chip itself is able to handle those extra features.
