Here’s a brief overview; a more detailed article will be published in a couple of days. Please be patient! 🙂
Key Features and Enhancements
1. Dual Architecture Support:
• VCTool now includes both x86 and x64 versions.
• The x64 version is optimized for 64-bit D-PDU API drivers provided with ODIS, enabling expanded compatibility for many J2534 interfaces.
• Note: x64 functionality with J2534 device drivers is currently limited to Lawicell CAN-Hacker devices for ECU Simulator and CAN Logger. Full compatibility via D-PDU API drivers will be prioritized in future updates.
2. KWP2000/TP20 Protocol Support:
• Enhanced compatibility with vehicles built on PQ, PL, and MLB platforms.
• Flashing ECUs with SGO/SGM containers via ECUFlasher and BatchFlasher.

• Access to adaptation channels (APK) and execution of basic settings.
• Execution of actuator tests on control units.
• Integration with ZDC containers in ZDCoder.
• Support for KWP2000/TP20 in parameter loaders, login tools, and memory cell readers.
3. Advanced Features for Professionals:
• Backup and restore capabilities for KWP2000/TP20 control units.
• Simulation of vehicle connections using backup files (available for Pro and Ultimate subscriptions).
• Simulation support for the KWP2000/TP20 protocol in ECU Simulator.
4. Expanded Dataset and Diagnostics:
• Support for DSG DQ200 gearbox diagnostics in KWP2000/TP20.
• Integration of SOAP datasets for multiple control units.
• Expanded firmware database with over 34,000 containers.
5. Improved User Experience:
