What is ODIS Component Protection:
Component Protection is a database of the VW-Audi Group. It keeps track of every single electronic component and which vehicle it is assigned to. Essentially, component protection works like an electronic padlock, tying components to your vehicle. If we need to code, customize or set up a component, we need to open its padlock. This is where ODIS comes into play. Component protection can be removed by any number of legitimate and other entities.
Why component protection is necessary: ??When it comes to cars, it is usually the parts with the highest quality engines, transmissions, interiors and wheels that get stolen. Provided you have the various control units for the major mechanical components, you can put them in a car with a major mechanical failure and it will run because it sees the associated boxes it expects. Any independent workshop working on VAG vehicles on a regular basis needs to purchase the software license for ODIS to be able to perform updates on newer vehicles if they want to use the right channels to remove CP or even code retrofits or replace defective parts.
What do you need for component protection:
1. ODIS software
2. Use name and password are unique to each and every subscriber of ODIS
3. VAG diagnostic tool confirmed to work, such as VAS5054A, VAS 6154, Vxdiag VCX Nano
4. A good laptop/PC better running Windows 7 operation system
