Ross-Tech support FAQ

Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.

  • What vehicles does Ross-Tech VCDS support?

    VCDS specializes in diagnostic software for European automobiles. For 2019 and newer models, a current-generation interface like the HEX-NET or HEX-V2 is fully required.

  • Can I use older Ross-Tech interfaces on modern cars?

    Legacy interfaces such as the HEX+CAN and Micro-CAN will not work properly with 2019 and newer model cars. Upgrading to one of the robust newer platforms (HEX-V2 or HEX-NET) is recommended.

  • Do I need special drivers to use VCDS?

    For most modern 64-bit systems, drivers are included in the default installation. Choosing to 'Install USB Drivers for Legacy Interfaces' is only needed for older platforms and is not available on ARM-architecture devices.

  • How do I prepare for Ross-Tech technical support?

    For vehicle-specific technical support, you must be prepared and consult the Ross-Tech Wiki and Car Info & Procedures page first. Have your interface handy when calling the main support line.
