Choose Your VAWS
Four generations. One clear sweet spot.

The VAWS V3.0 keeps the proven 4-inch button-operated format of the VAWS V2.0 — then adds the two things workshops kept asking for: bi-directional control (active tests) and a vastly expanded set of high-level service functions. Here is exactly how it stacks up against the VAWS V1.0, VAWS V2.0 and the touchscreen flagship VAWS V4.0.

34 High Level Service Functions

The two marked rows are where the VAWS V3.0 steps decisively beyond the VAWS V1.0 and VAWS V2.0 — bi-directional control (active tests) plus a greatly expanded set of high-level service functions, at a fraction of the VAWS V4.0 flagship's price. Core service resets, full-system access and lifetime free updates are shared across the range.

01Advanced Bi-Directional Control
Don't just read the car. Command it.

The VAWS V3.0 goes beyond reading codes. With full bi-directional control, you can command individual components and watch them respond in real time — cycle the ABS pump motor, run window regulators, activate the fuel pump, open the throttle, and run output tests on almost every onboard module. Pinpoint the faulty part in minutes, without trial-and-error.

Cycle the ABS Pump Motor

Command the ABS pump and watch it respond in real time.

Run Window Regulators

Activate window regulators and output tests on almost every module.

Activate the Fuel Pump

Trigger the fuel pump on demand to confirm a fault in minutes.

Toggle Wiper & Washer Motors

Trigger wiper speeds and fluid pumps to resolve homing circuit and non-functional faults directly.

Cycle the EGR Valve

Drive the valve open and closed to clear carbon causing a rough idle.

Command the Fuel Injectors

Cut or drive individual injectors in real time to isolate misfires.

Trigger the Cooling Fans

Switch high and low fan speeds on demand to verify relays and motors.

Sequence Transmission Solenoids

Cycle shift solenoids one by one to pinpoint slippage and harsh shifts.

⚠ Compatibility Notice: And More · 22+ active tests across every onboard system — and growing with each update.

FAQ
Good to know before you buy.

Yes! The iCarsoft VAWS V3.0 includes lifetime free software upgrades. There are zero annual subscription fees or hidden costs. You pay once and get continuous software updates forever.

The ultimate upgrade of the VAWS V3.0 over the VAWS V2.0 is its newly added Bi-Directional Control (Actuation Tests) capability and a significantly expanded range of service reset functions, both of which are completely unsupported on the older VAWS V2.0.

Not at all. AutoVIN depends on individual vehicle ECU protocols. If AutoVIN skips your car, simply use the Manual Selection mode—all diagnostic and service functions will work perfectly. Meanwhile, please send your VIN to our support team; we will verify it and add it to our database in the next software update.

Please keep ignition on and engine off. Record freeze frame data first before clearing codes.

Persistent hardware faults need physical repair prior to code clearance.

Some fault codes of systems like SRS and ABS can only be cleared after finishing bidirectional tests.

Please check the following steps to troubleshoot:

Check Vehicle Compatibility: Ensure your vehicle belongs to the V.A.G group (1996–2025).

Turn Off Power-Saving: Disable any eco/battery-saving modes on the vehicle that might shut down modules during diagnosis.

Update Device: Update both the firmware and vehicle software to the latest versions.

Check Ignition: Ensure the vehicle key is turned to the "ON" position.

Yes, absolutely! The VAWS V3.0 offers deep, dealer-level diagnostic coverage for the entire Volkswagen lineup across all major production years.
