Hello,
Welcome to the Two-Hundred-Thirty-One of Tech Tuesday, a weekly email/newsletter where Tech Ops will provide you with new ideas, new procedures, new tools, and anything new to help you in the field.
ODIS Changes
A new version of ODIS (25.1.0) is being released on August 18th. A full ODIS software uninstall/reinstall will be required to update to this version.
What's New?
• The ODIS license file is no longer required.
• Only the security certificate will be needed going forward.
What You Need To Know
• If you choose not to update to version 25.1.0 immediately, you may continue using your current ODIS software version until your existing subscription expires.
• After your current subscription expires, you must update ODIS (ie, uninstalling/reinstalling) to the latest version to continue using the software.
We currently have 2 ODIS video guides saved on the Internal Resources page that will need to be updated once the new process is live:
ODIS Uninstall/Reinstall Video Guide
ODIS Renewal Video Guide
We will get the videos updated as soon as possible to reflect these changes, but both should still be useful in the interim. Volkswagen will be releasing a new PDF guide to uninstalling/reinstalling ODIS a few days before the new version is released.
If anything changes between now and August 14th, we will let everyone know.
SmartPro: REMINDER
Regularly updating your SmartPro is the most critical step in maintaining your device. You should update individual modules every other day and perform a full software update once a week, at minimum.
