Before you connect

Know your setup.

Studio currently supports reviewed EDC15VM+ and EDC15P+ software. Check your exact ECU and connection before moving from the recorded Preview demo to live work.

Supported families

Built around EDC15.

The current family packages cover the reviewed ECU part numbers below. A family name alone does not confirm every software variant.

ECU familyEngine type and powerReviewed ECU part number
EDC15VM+1.9 TDI VP90 / 110 hp038906012
EDC15P+1.9 TDI PD100 / 115 / 130 / 150 / 160 hp038906019

Check the exact ECU and software in Studio's compatibility catalog and in-app Help before installation. ECU family support may expand over time.

System and connection

What you need.

The recorded Preview demo runs on a Windows PC. Vehicle work adds a supported interface, the correct connection and a matching licence.

01 / DESKTOP

Windows 10 or 11

Install RACE15 Studio on a Windows 10/11 PC. Preview activation is required in Studio; its recorded demo needs no vehicle or adapter.

02 / INTERFACE

Supported J2534 adapter

Live data and CAN programming require a supported J2534 adapter and the correct CAN connection for the ECU.

03 / ECU

Matching RACE15 setup

The supported ECU needs the supplied RACE15 bootloader patch for the live CAN workflow, plus a Full licence with its ECU family package.

First installation

Check the installation route before using CAN.

CAN Flash is for an ECU with RACE15 already installed. The initial image uses a compatible full-image method, such as Studio's supported K-line or boot-mode route. Preserve a backup of any tune you need to keep, and follow the in-app guidance for your exact ECU.
