How it works
SAE J2534 is a standard interface between a PC and a vehicle. A Pass-Thru device works as a gateway between the vehicle's control units (ECUs) and the manufacturer's software on your computer.

Open FAQ & SupportFAQ
Do I need a separate licence for OEM software?
Yes. OEM diagnostic and programming software is licensed by the vehicle manufacturer, usually as a subscription on the manufacturer's service portal. ELP5 PRO-VCI is the interface the software uses. See where to get OEM software.
Which OEM applications work with ELP5 PRO-VCI?
[TODO: verified list of OEM applications]
Functionality depends on the OEM software subscription and on support for the specific vehicle.
Which versions of Windows are supported?
Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit. Installing the J2534 driver needs administrator rights, and Activation needs an internet connection. The OEM software may have its own PC requirements, so check them too.
Where can I get technical support?
Write to us through the contact form or at office@elprosys.com. Describe the vehicle, the OEM software and what happened.
