(the Smart Card will also be correctly displayed)).
Interface and
Smart Card drivers
installed
successfully.
If you encounter any problems at this stage, we suggest to try and connect the Interface to a
different USB port. The assignment of the driver may take up to 5 minutes depending on the
hardware configuration.
You can now start using the new VCP Activator version v6.
2 Initial Configuration and Smart Card Activation via VCP Activator
The Activator software is primarily used for the purpose of matching the Smart Card
information (security authentication) and updating the program functions.
(via Download I [Program parts] and Download II [Label files, ODX Database update etc.])
The application also has an integrated File Manager with which you can load all available (or
active) ZDC files (including VIM ZDC files).
With the help of the Activator software one can also update the state of charge (Key-batch) of
the smart card (Recharge), perform an interface Firmware Update (Update iFace) or initiate
interface repairs (Repair interface)
Further information about the Activator and the operation of the respective functions can be
found in the further sections of this Handbook.
2.2 VCP ACTIVATOR Update
During the initial start-up VCP ACTIVATOR needs to be updated to the latest version. The
relevant prompt will appear after the first connection and the update will be automatically
carried out upon Users confirmation. See the information on the picture below
1.
2.
Wait until the installation is completed and continue once the VCP ACTIVATOR restarts
2.3 Activation of VCP and Program Parts Download
After a successful update of the VCP ACTIVATOR select (1) Recheck dongle and then in
the pop-up window click USB (2)
1.
2. CLICK
After successful authentication of the Smart Card press Connect (3).
Please take note: When you launch the VCP ACTIVATOR for the first time you have to
first activate your Smart Card by pressing Activate (4). After doing so it will no longer be
possible to return the software, according to GTC, because it has been personalised and
used to download the program. As a result, returning the activated software is not
possible.

2.5 Cannot connect with the server - not authorized to connect
If you receive the not authorized to connectmessage, this means that your Smart Card is not
yet activated on the VAG-TECH Servers. Please contact support@vcp.pl to inquire about the
current activation status.
2.6 No connection to server no connection / response from the server
There are 3 VAG-TECH servers available with which the Activator can communicate. If you
cannot establish connection (as presented in the picture below), please check whether the
necessary ports are unlocked for the installed software or whether the hardware firewalls do
not prevent the connection:
Should in addition to Software Updates a new version of firmware for the VCP Diagnostic
Interface be available, you can update it as follows:
Launch the ACTIVATOR and connect on-line. Update the Interface (1).
The necessary steps of the Update procedure will be carried out automatically (2). Once the
update is completed, reconnect the Interface. The new version of firmware should be now
available.
In case you have decided to purchase the K-Line variant you have obtained it by means of
upgrade (http://vag-tech.eu/additional-functions/upgrade-vcp-to-vcpk-detail ), after a
successful activation of the Smart Card you can perform the necessary Firmware upgrades to
the VCP + K-Line version via the ACTIVATOR, as described above.
2.8 Update renewal - Subscription Status
You can learn about the status (1) of your update renewal or subscription status via the
ACTIVATOR after connecting with the server. Once your subscription has expired you can
no longer use the Download function to update your software.
1
3 Basic Information about this Software
The basic functions of VCP Software are similar to the solutions used by our competitors.
In the upper part of the Interface you can select the cars ECUs. More ECUs will be
displayed/manually selectable after clicking More...
Info: Our competitors offer a decreased selection of all available ECUs of a connected car (in
case a vehicle has CAN) in their software.
VCP does not perform any such preliminary tests and displays a full, not reduced list of
available control devices in the latest version (4.0.2), therefore, all ECUs will be displayed but
must be accessed manually.
So, if a particular ECUs is not displayed in the main list, you have to access it manually via
the More... (1) button. A functionality analogous to the ones used by the competitors is being
currently tested and will be incorporated into one of the next release updates. Alternatively,
provided if your car supports CAN, you can access via the Gateway-Assembly list all
available ECUs in your vehicle, instead of having to manually check / select the ECUs.
If an ECU (e.g. STG 17 - Instruments or panel) is selected, you have to establish the
connection in the Details page via the Connect button. Afterwards, all functions of the ECUs
(coding, adaptation, fault memory, etc.) should become available.
1
3.1 ECUs Details page - more ECUs
You can switch between the four tabs to access the needed ECUs (1), or enter the number of a
particular ECU in the field in the lower part of the screen (2).
In VCP you can choose from a number of available diagnostic sessions. Depending on the
required adjustments / coding / flash operations different communication channels will be
required
OBD/EOBD mode a diagnostic session for a regular OBD2 coding mode (e.g.
ELM327)
EOL VW - End Of Line diagnostic session for parameter upload (ZDC), necessary
to carry out special encodings (e.g. ESP deactivation for Audi A6 / A7 4G). This
diagnostic session also requires different adaptation channels
EOL ECU Manufacturer similar diagnostic session as above, however, it uses the
manufacturer-specific default settings (e.g. Conti). Certain settings are functional only
here (e.g. MK60EC1 Conti Kommandos)
Update programming diagnostic session for flash operations. Set automatically to
Flasher / Multiflasher mode by VLC, cannot be used for any other diagnosis (coding,
adaptation, parameter settings, etc.)
Engineering mode The Engineering Mode diagnostic session allows you full access
to the respective ECU (however, logging in is still necessary) and all of its functions
(e.g. EEPROM read/write, adaptation of the hidden adjustment channels, etc. p.p.)
Standard diagnosis the Standard Diagnosis is used by default. It encompasses all
common diagnostic activities (with the exception of the ones listed above), (e.g.
coding, adaptation, measurement reading, parameter settings etc. p.p.)
4 VCP Initial Configuration
After a successful Download of Program Components via the VCP ACTIVATOR you can
launch VAG CAN Professional (VCP).
After closing the ACTIVATOR simply double-click the VAG CAN Professional icon on the
desktop.
4.1 Language settings
Open the Settings window (1), select a language (2) and save (3).
3
4.2 Select Log Path
In Settings you can enter the path for the Program log.
We suggest:
[Implemented by VCP in version 4.0.3 on our recommendation, therefore we will discuss this
topic very briefly]
Once the communication with the respective ECU is successfully established, select the
Establish Communication Automatically setting (1) and save.
From now on you will not have to establish the connection manually every time you select
this particular ECU. Instead, the program will establish the connection automatically.
1
In the program options - Settings you can choose from various interface skins, that is, desired
colour schemes for the VCP program interface.
Windows 7
4.5 ECU favourites editor (v 8.0.3+)
You can customize the list of the ECUs youre frequently working with.
To edit the favourites list right-click on empty area of the ECU-favourites panel. New editor
will pop-up
To add ECU to your favourites panel, select it (you can choose multiple ECUs by
CTRL+click) and press Add button. The ECU will be added to list. Maximum you can
assign 16 ECUs to your preferred list.
You can change the order of the ECUs on ECU list using UP and DOWN arrow buttons.
Select the ECU and then press Up / Down to move it higher/lower on the list.
After restart, VCP will show Favourites panel instead of default. To revert to standard
behaviour, clean up the ECU list on favourites editor by select the ECU followed by pressing
Remove button
5 OCF One Click Functions
OCF functionality (One-click functions) which gives you the advantage of easy access to
various functions, such as automatic coding / performing adjustment settings of ECU
functions or upload ZDC parameter files using the data uploader.
By using the ZDC Container Upload you can upload the necessary parameter settings files
(e.g. to enable VIM in all MQB models) into the respective ECUs. You can read below where
to obtain these files (5.1.1) and how to upload them. (5.1.2)
Using the File Manager you can view the current state of ZDC container files and, for
example, load the required VIM files.
If you want to move the data to a different sub-folder, simply change Save location (2).

5.1.2 Practical example; VIM activation with ZDC Container File
In this example we flash the 5F controller for Golf 7 in order to unlock the speed index of the
installed Discover PRO.
Click the Guided Functions button in the Additional functions area of the main display.
In the Guided functions assistant please select Other, mark one of the listed options and
confirm with NEXT
Please note that you select the correct/appropriate file for the particular ECU (eg.
Navigation or radio for VIM) the correct/appropriate file. You can find more detailed
descriptions of the ZDC Container Files at: support@vcp.pl
1
Next, select the appropriate ECU from the list:
For all MQB (Audi A3 8V, Seat Leon 5F, Golf 7, Skoda Octavia 5E, Audi TT 8S)
and MLB models (Audi A6 4G Facelift, Audi A7 4G Facelift, Audi A8 4H Facelift, Audi
Q7 II) you have to select STG 5F Infotainment (Information Control Unit).
For Audi A1 8X / Audi Q3 8U select STG 5F or STG56 (Radio) depending on the MMI
version.
We advise you to check this in advance by connecting to the respective installed ECU and
selecting the correct ZDC container file
After selecting the appropriate ECU you can click the Upload Selected Data button to start
the flash operation.
The status display area (lower left side of the window) will show a different message
depending on whether the data was uploaded successfully an error has occurred.
In the example below a connection error has occurred (error opening communication with
ECU) which indicates that the selected ECU cannot be reached.
Please repeat the process again, however, check the connector of the interface, the status
of the ignition and whether the particular ECU (in this case STG 5F) can actually be
accessed beforehand.
In order to simplify the management of the ZDC container files, a script is used (which
creates the following folders in the local program directory):
ZDC
ZDC_VIM
Thanks to this, the corresponding files are stored in the File Manager in the respective folder
and in turn can be easily found during the upload for a particular ECU.
VCP_Ordnerstruktur_ZDC.bat
Note: When the scripts starts you have enter the relevant drive letter, for example: C), on
which the VCP was installed. As a result, the above mentioned folders will be created. You
can also do it manually without the script.
VIM Manager provides the user with an important advantage: the file-based management
processes become a lot less complicated (File download via the File Manager, file upload via
Config data uploader) and the configuration of the video image threshold can be performed
faster.

You have not completed Download I and Download II (as described in section Initial
Configuration), and as a result, some rudimentary boot files for VCP are not available yet and
the program cannot be launched. You have to redo the steps described in: 2.3 Activation of
VCP and Program Parts Download
Please make sure that the USB Smart Card reader (HID Dongle v1) or the VCP Interface (v2)
is paired/connected with the integrated Smart Card. If this message continues to show-up
connect the Dongle (or the Interface) to a different USB port and wait until the driver is
assigned.
Keep in mind: VCP Activator must not be launched, as it blocks the Smart Card.
