VCDS

Windows-based Diagnostic Software
for VW / Audi / Seat / Skoda

• USB connection for compatibility with all modern laptops.
• Compatible with all diagnostic-capable VW/Audi passenger cars from 1996 to current; K, K+L, dual-K, or CAN.
• Detachable USB cable. The supplied cable has a proprietary screw locking mechanism, but it can be replaced temporarily with a standard USB-A to USB-B (“printer”) cable should it become damaged.
• Modern 32-bit micro-controller and fully updateable firmware.
• Tri-Color (red/green/blue) status/activity LEDs with greatly improved visibility from almost any angle.
• 12 month guarantee against defects in workmanship or materials.
• Includes an embedded license for VCDS and thus acts as a “dongle” for the software, allowing the software to be used and installed on any compatible PC.
