General information

OBD program text/data generated by "Premium IV / V / VI" and "Monsoon" radios (where applicable) may not be recognized by VAG1551/1552 Scan Tools (ST) with the latest program card. For example: scan tool display shows "text 799", "01529 /references" or similar.

Only the VAS 5051 Vehicle Diagnostic Testing and Information System or VAS 5052 Vehicle Testing and Service System is capable of processing all display text/data on these radio systems.

All OBD program functions (including radio system coding) on vehicles with "Premium VI" radio systems must be performed using the VAS 5051 Vehicle Diagnostic Testing and Information System or VAS 5052 Vehicle Testing and Service System in mode "Guided Fault Finding".

Radio sound system coding must be performed in order to account for presence of CD Changer (if installed), Monsoon system (where applicable) and interior sound field differences between models.
