Specifically, these instructions apply to existing VAS 6150A, VAS 6150B and VAS 6150C devices that were updated from Windows XP to Windows 7 using the VWGoA-supplied installation DVDs, and new VAS 6150C devices purchased with Windows 7 already installed. Due to their function as diagnostic tools, VAS diagnostic laptops are equipped with a proprietary Windows® 7 operating system. Unlike commercially-available Panasonic CF-52 or CF-53 laptops, a partitioned hard drive is utilized. These instructions were validated using US/CDN market devices and software. The various operating manuals included with the laptop may contain information that is not applicable to the US/CDN market.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2014/MC-10125554-9999.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2014/MC-10125554-0001.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10125554","components":[{"id":"electrical","name":"Electrical system","parent":null},{"id":"software","name":"Software","parent":"electrical"}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"AUDI","model":"AUDI","year_from":null,"year_to":null,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
