Suitable for VW, Audi, SEAT and Skoda cars and light vans from 1990 through to current 2019 models. Formally known as VAG-COM, this system connects via your OBDII Port which is usually in the driver’s footwell. This VCDS system is a powerful diagnostic tool that allows you to connect to your Volkswagen, Audi, Seat or Skoda vehicle via your PC, Laptop or Tablet. I bought this cable some time ago and ran it on Win XP, everything ran fine then with no issues at all so the car definitely accepted the cable.The New and Improved Ross Tech® VCDS® Interface is back and is now known as the Ross Tech HEX-V2 VCDS System. My understanding of the error message is that the interface cable is connected to the right port however VCDS cannot establish a connection to the car or perhaps it just doesn't recognise the cable anymore. I redownloaded it and installed the driver that comes with the software this time but once everything is up and running, the same error all over again. I then uninstalled all VCDS drivers and VCDS. I've tried changing the COM to 1/2/4 also and still I get the same result which ever way, I have also tried all of the different USB ports on my laptop, installing the driver for each but again the same error message. I then connect the cable to the car and turn on the ignition, the cable lights up blue to indicate a connection has been established so I open op VCDS and test the connection to COM3, I then get this error.


I right-clicked the VCDS lite icon and selected "compatibility", from that I set permission to the application as administative, applied and okayed it. Once the driver had installed it assigned it to COM3 which is not in use by anything else.

I started from scratch and plugged my non-genuine cable into my laptop, Windows 7 searched the internet for a driver and found one, presumably from Ross Tech. Casn someone please help me rectify the issue? Hi All, this is the error that I get all the time since switching from a Win XP OS laptop to Win 7 laptop & from 409.1 to the new VCDS Lite 10.6.
