How the remote session works

1. Order the activation and, if you don't already have one, the DoIP cable and USB-Ethernet adapter ($39.95, yours to keep).
2. Book a session time. You receive a confirmation email with the preparation steps.
3. At the session, plug the cable into the car's OBD port and your laptop, and run FlexiHub so our technician can connect.
4. We do the programming remotely – usually about 30 minutes; a slow internet connection can make it longer.

What you need

• A laptop (or Android phone with USB-C) next to the car: Windows 7/8/10/11, an Apple-silicon Mac on macOS 10.15+, Linux (Ubuntu 20.04+) or Android 5.0+.
• A stable internet connection and the free FlexiHub app.
• An ENET DoIP cable with USB-Ethernet adapter, a VAS5054 or a VAS6154. Ross-Tech/VAGCOM, Tactrix, J2534, Unitronic UniCONNECT+, APR Ultralink/Cheetah, 034Motorsport R4, COBB Accessport and VCP cables do not work.
• SFD unlock: 2022–2024 MK8 cars need the SFD security unlocked for the session – we do it remotely for a $20 surcharge, or you can use your own OBDeleven Pro/Ultimate plan.
