UPDATE PLANFluent in the newest language your car speaks.
CAN-FD (Controller Area Network – Flexible Data-rate) is a next-generation automotive communication protocol adopted by V.A.G group vehicles.
What is CAN-FD?
CAN-FD (Controller Area Network – Flexible Data-rate) is the next-generation evolution of the classic CAN bus, now adopted across the newest V.A.G group platforms.
- Flexible Data-Rate: Transfers larger data frames at faster speeds than classic CAN, keeping up with modern vehicle electronics.
- Adopted by Audi / Bentley / Bugatti / Lamborghini / SEAT / Skoda / VW / VW Commercial Vehicles / VW LT3 / MAN Light-Duty: The communication standard used on the group’s latest chassis generations.
CAN-FD Ready, Out of the Box
- Native CAN-FD Support: Talks the Audi / Bentley / Bugatti / Lamborghini / SEAT / Skoda / VW / VW Commercial Vehicles / VW LT3 / MAN Light-Duty CAN-FD protocol directly from the standard OBD2 port.
- Newest Models Covered: Keeps the VAWS V1.0 connected to the latest chassis in its 1996–present coverage range.
One Tool, Every Protocol
CAN-FD is only the newest layer — the VAWS V1.0 speaks the full range of protocols used across three decades of Audi / Bentley / Bugatti / Lamborghini / SEAT / Skoda / VW / VW Commercial Vehicles / VW LT3 / MAN Light-Duty models.
- Beyond CAN-FD: Also supports classic CAN (ISO 11898 high/medium/low-speed & single-wire), K/L-Line, ISO 9141-2, ISO 14230-2, ISO 15765, SAE-J1850 and more.
- One Standard Connector: The 16-pin OBD2 main cable plugs straight into supported V.A.G group models.
Plug in — your V.A.G introduces itself.
Skip the manual VIN typing — simply plug in, and the tool identifies your vehicle in seconds. No typos, no extra lookup time. This boosts accuracy, eliminates input errors, and delivers a smoother, more reliable diagnostic experience.
One-Plug Identification
- Automatic VIN Read: Simply plug into the OBD2 port and the VAWS V1.0 identifies your V.A.G group vehicle in seconds.
- No Extra Lookup Time: Skip manual VIN typing and model-menu digging entirely — go straight to diagnostics.
Accuracy Built In
- Eliminates Input Errors: No typos means the scanner always loads the exact software profile for your vehicle.
- Smoother, More Reliable Sessions: Correct identification from the first second delivers a more reliable diagnostic experience.
Manual Selection Backup
AutoVIN depends on individual vehicle ECU protocols. If AutoVIN skips your car, it doesn't mean the device is faulty — you always have a second way in.
- Manual Selection Mode: Pick your model from the menu and every diagnostic and service function works exactly the same.
- Growing VIN Database: Send your VIN to the support team and it will be verified and added in the next software update.
The two resets every V.A.G owner ends up needing.
The VAWS V1.0 is far more than a basic code reader. It integrates 2 commonly-used service functions for daily maintenance.
Allows you to reset the engine oil life system, service lamp, service mileage, and service intervals after an oil change.
Calibrates the steering wheel to the straight-ahead position, or re-calibrates the SAS after steering component replacement.
Wrench in the language you think in.
The V.A.G scanner VAWS V1.0 supports English, German, French, Dutch, Spanish, and Italian.
Every ECU on the bus, within reach.
In addition to the four standard systems (Engine, ABS, Airbags, and Transmission), the VAWS V1.0 provides diagnostic coverage for more complex vehicle systems.
Read & Clear Codes and Freeze Frame
- Read and Clear DTCs: Pull trouble codes from every supported system and clear them once the repair is done.
- Read and Clear Freeze Frame Data: Review the exact sensor snapshot captured when a fault occurred, then clear it after servicing.
Live Data & ECU Information
- Read Live Data: Watch real-time sensor values and parameter streams while the vehicle is running.
- Read ECU Information: View each control module's identification details for accurate servicing and part matching.
Every Module, One Connector
Full-system coverage means the VAWS V1.0 doesn't stop at the powertrain — it reaches the complex body, chassis and driver-assistance modules too.
- Access all ECU modules via OBDII-16 DLC: Reach every module on the vehicle through the standard 16-pin diagnostic connector.
Emission day, sorted in one pass.
Supports all 10 OBD2 test modes for vehicles compliant with 1996+ OBDII/EOBD/JOBD/KOBD/CAN/CAN-FD standards: Read Codes, Erase Codes, I/M Readiness, Live Data, Freeze Frame, Vehicle Information, O2 Monitor Test, On-Board Monitor Test, EVAP System Test, and Pending Codes.

Questions about your exact model year? Confirm compatibility by VIN before you order.
Contact Support →Everything you need to know.
Persistent hardware faults need physical repair prior to code clearance.
A small number of SRS/ABS fault codes can only be cleared after completing active (bi-directional) tests, which require a tool with bi-directional control such as the VAWS V2.0 or higher.
Check Vehicle Compatibility: Ensure your vehicle belongs to the V.A.G group (1996–2025).
Turn Off Power-Saving: Disable any eco/battery-saving modes on the vehicle that might shut down modules during diagnosis.
Update Device: Update both the firmware and vehicle software to the latest versions.
Check Ignition: Ensure the vehicle key is turned to the "ON" position.
