There are mobile apps for smart phones - but they lack the function of a keyboard and big screen - plus I can't really get on with "touch screens" and dirty wet hands.īut for activating EPB motors with a car on a two post ramp - doing brakes - wifi is the plan - you won't need to keep lifting the car up and down. I can see me using the USB lead with the VCDS HEX NET for some jobs. You are adding another margin of error to the party - if you understand what I am trying to say. We do allot of electrical work here - road testing and getting coms drops - is the order of day - intermittent power hold relay and ecu coms drops - I sort of loose the logic sometimes - with wireless - if you get a drop of coms - it maybe down to signal not a fault on the car - I seem to be looking too much at the LEDS on the interface to see if I have coms.
HEX NET VCDS BLUETOOTH
Plus range of signal - I been caught out a few times with our Bluetooth Gscan - just back from a test drive - wanna re read any logged error codes - in workshop door way - wasted time trying to get coms - then have to re position car or laptop to do it. Not being near the throttle to do engine testing on live data (you still gonna have to have a laptop on the front seat of the vehicle).Ĥ.

Road testing on live data - if you have loaded software onto desktop.ģ. The obvious downsides of wifi interfaces are:Ģ. I always thought - someone else would do the same with other car makes - but they did'nt - there has been a few attempts - but none as good as RossTech offerings Plus they do 3 VIN and 10 VIN lower cost kits for DIY repairers.

To find the Chassis Type for your car, look at the 7th and 8th digits of the VIN number. The new Hex Net worked a treat with the USB cable supplied - but it was a pig to network on wifi - reckon it took me two hours - port problems with Windows firewall. The following VCDS Compatibility Charts are based on Model and Chassis Type. We have upgraded to the HEX net because in the next few months - Rosstech will be releasing software for Crafter vans (we do fleets of Crafter vans).Īnd the USB V2 interface we have here - won't do the new software.
I bought my first Rosstech Beta 0.50 in May 2000 - this came from the USA by post - reckon I was one of the first people in the UK to have one?Įver since then I have upgraded the interface - as and when new protocols have come out - downloaded the software with updated versions when new ones have been released. Unlimited VINs at £574.92 including VAT - Givusaclue gave me a link for Ilexa - they were £25 cheaper than Hinkleys where we normally buy diagnostic kit from.
