If you currently use a diagnostic hub with the VG34, set it aside as you will not need it with the VG54.
From a technical standpoint, VG34 + Diagnostics Hub + C-Class cable = VG54. The VG54 now has a built-in vehicle diagnostics hub so there is no need for an additional accessory with the VG54.

Obtain the appropriate Camera Connectors for use with the VG54.
