For this market sector, the likelihood is that the tool will be used for a small range of cars. well, without wanting to sound too critical about an otherwise excellent device - of limited value. However, for the vast majority of "enthusiasts" (like me, and many other VCDS cable users - I assume), the huge VCDS-ready database is.

Having a diagnostic tool that is fully capable of accommodating such a wide variety of vehicles is doubtless of great value to professionals where any car can roll-into the workshop at any time. I've noticed when updating that the exe-file seems to delete and then re-load the label files for every vehicle type in what I assume is the full VCDS repertoire of cars (which is an impressively large list). ^^^^^ Uwe - I suspect that my question is probably bordering on heresy, but I ask for your brief indulgence as you consider the following:īecause I'm a relative new-comer to the heady and fascinating world of VCDS, I assume that Ross-Tech has always had a one-size-fits-all concept for it's software release versions.
