The new VCDS WIFI interface has been released by Ross Tech. The diagnostic equipment has become faster and more complete than its predecessor.
New to the VCDS interface is the wireless operation of the equipment. In short, the device can be used in 3 ways:
1. You can connect the VCDS interface familiar via USB cable to your PC/laptop and continue to use it with the VCDS software.
New:
2. You can use the familiar VCDS software. However, the difference is that this is no longer via the USB connection, but completely wireless via WIFI. The device works like a dongle.
3. You can use VCDS Mobile. This means that you can use the online VCDS software with any browser, via your PC, laptop, phone or tablet (see images).
This HEX-NET kit is suitable for all Volkswagen, Audi, Seat and Skoda models, both old and new (OBD1, OBD2, including K-Line KKL). The included diagnostic software (VCDS) is in English and includes a license.

Reviews
Write your reviewWorks perfectly well and good explanations are included.
14-11-2024In combination with the software vcds a perfect readout and programming plug
23-08-2024Perfect product, does as described.
20-07-2023easy to use and very fast
03-11-2021Works very well in dutch
09-09-2021Easy to use, and is a registered version with the updates included.
13-07-2020Good once you get it working (am not an IT specialist)
28-04-2020Because it has a good connection even with cable-less use.
30-12-2019Works quickly and easily with the computer.
12-11-2019Good but it could have been smaller
25-07-2019Although the Dutch language software is outdated, which I understand is being worked on, the VCDS Hex-Net Pro with the English language software is easy to install and register. The advantage of the VCDS over cheaper alternatives is that it has many more error codes and matches the designations used by the Volkswagen Group.
19-09-2018Extensive tool, can do almost everything that is possible at the brand dealer. Especially the wireless possibility is 'nice to have', although it works a bit slowly. Also, the wireless capability seems less extensive than connecting via cable, but I haven't done enough with this to judge properly.
17-08-2018Indispensable when many VW group cars are in maintenance/repair.
01-05-2018Ideal module with which you can do a lot. Only it works through your mobile only in English and very different from the windows version.
23-03-2018Product sweet looks good. Not tested yet
