Title says it all. I sold my 2013 A4 and want to remove it from my account as I only have the 3 VIN version.
How would we know it hasn't been used in a year, or that a year has passed since the last VIN was deleted? The interfaces do not have an internal real-time clock/calendar, so the current time and date would have to come from the user's PC (or mobile device with a HEX-NET), meaning it would be trivially easy spoof.That could be a nice option to have, the ability to delete a VIN that hasn't been used for let's say more than 1 year or once a year to delete 1 VIN of your choice.
Given that Ross-Tech sells worldwide wouldn't this have privacy and compliance implications (such as dealing with GDPR for EU customers)? This would impact the business costs and maybe their IT strategy. My guess is that these costs (and possible extra staff) could be a large extra financial burden.It would need to have some sort of records on your server.
That is actually a good question. It would need to have some sort of records on your server. The if it is has been used or not in the last year part is probably too tricky/complicated to implement but just to be able to delete 1/3 or 2/10 VIN once a year would be nice. I just sold my car last week, so 1 of my 3 VIN is now completely useless unless this kind of mechanism is implemented in the future.
When we conceived the HEX-V2 with a 3 VIN limit and set its pricing at the low value, we also provided a means to add more VINs. The VINs are written in the interface in a uni-directional write memory location - it cannot be erased. It was the only means to have permanent storage and still let the customer move from one place to another and not need an internet connection for every use of the tool.When all 3 numbers are "expired" you can always pay for 10VINs.

So, if 3 are used, 7 can be added for $169. Cost per VIN? $24 and some change.
Use 10? The unit can be changed to Unlimited VIN for another $169.
In our marketing plans, we felt this to be a fair means to help the enthusiast user and specifically the shade tree mechanic keep costs low.
whoa whoa whoa..whatta ya mean by HexNet Pro ? How do i get that ? Any difference from my hexnetV2?@JMR Ross-Tech does not offer the HEX-V2 Enthusiast Interface in unlimited form. Only the Europeans sell that product as for the US market, our Pro device is the HEX-NET Pro. If you want unlimited in the US, you must get there through upgrading the Enthusiast Interface.
i did many times. Forgive me, told ya today is a blurry hazy day in my brains . I forgot what Enthusiast edition is . ) soooorryyyy... I thought you guys have some goodie there which i don't have , but i do have that goodieEver been here? https://store.ross-tech.com/shop/cat/VCDS/

Quite a few of our distributors in Europe use the same phrase, "Pro" or "Professional" to denote interfaces with Unlimited VINs.you guys started talking about PRO In the USA ,
