I am reading this after June 1 and don't qualify for a free year but I do have a genuine need for SFD (hope the attached verifies this). I am willing to provide feedback in the the form of scans and logs. I hope you will consider this 'an exception' Thanks for all the hard work making this possible.

There's nothing attached. Nor is it possible to attach an Auto-Scan. It's just text that must be pasted in-line. In a new thread.

Resumindo: a partir de 1º de junho, aceitaremos pedidos de serviço SFD apenas de clientes com sistemas elegíveis para um ano gratuito de SFD , ou seja, aqueles que adquiriram sistemas com VIN ilimitado ("Profissional") desde o início de 2023.

" Quando você torna algo gratuito, cria uma demanda ilimitada por esse algo. "

Pessoal, até o momento, temos quase 900 pessoas inscritas no Beta gratuito do SFD, mas a maioria delas sequer tentou iniciar uma sessão no SFD, muito menos solicitou um token, e a quantidade de feedback que recebemos dos usuários individuais tem sido insignificante. Como prova disso, observem a quantidade ínfima de tópicos nesta seção do fórum.

Dito isso, processar esses pedidos dá um trabalho enorme: verificação de identidade, checagem de que o firmware da interface está atualizado, etc. O que isso nos ajudou a fazer foi agilizar um pouco os processos e encontrar alguns problemas aqui e ali, principalmente relacionados ao firmware e ao gerenciamento de senhas. Ainda temos mais trabalho a fazer nesse sentido, mas não vamos continuar processando pedidos gratuitos para pessoas que não se dão ao trabalho de fazer o que uma versão Beta realmente faz, que é testar as novas funcionalidades.

Ainda não estamos totalmente prontos para lançar esta versão completa e começar a cobrar taxas de assinatura. Esperamos chegar a esse ponto em algum momento de julho. Portanto, a partir de 1º de junho, aceitaremos pedidos de serviço SFD apenas de pessoas às quais já temos um ano gratuito.

Se você estiver lendo isto antes de 1º de junho e quiser obter o serviço SFD gratuitamente, mas ainda não se cadastrou, apresse-se e faça seu pedido. Veja ESTE TÓPICO para obter instruções.

Se você estiver lendo isto após 1º de junho e não se qualifica para um ano gratuito, mas realmente precisa do SFD e está disposto a fornecer feedback na forma de scans e logs, inicie um novo tópico nesta seção com um Auto-Scan completo feito com a versão Beta mais recente do VCDS em um carro que tenha o SFD, e consideraremos uma exceção.

Prezado Uwe,

ainda não me registrei no SFD porque não sei se ele me permitirá desativar o aviso sonoro do cinto de segurança, inverter a função start-stop e desligar o sistema de assistência de manutenção de faixa (ou ativá-lo/desativá-lo conforme desejar).

Augusto

Hello I would like to be considered for SFD access as I work in a shop that sees several SFD enabled Audis and Volkwagen's, Currently I am mainly only doing service resets on vehicles but there could be a need for further uses later on down the road, I am happy to provide a scan or whatever is needed from one of our candidates here on the lot. Thanks

From what I've seen here on the forum, I believe so.

so If is possible and can be added there I will provide feadbackwhen will be done.
.

This is what "provide feedback" means , so if you agree to what is stated in the below link(s) , you should be welcomed to testing.




BUt now when I firs need add autoscan from interest car
Yes, you are required to post a complete Auto-Scan (typically of a SFD vehicle).

@ejne , regarding your message, the first item you need to address is a complete Auto-Scan of a vehicle with SFD . Once you post that Auto-Scan, Admin. will grant you permission to apply for SFD access.

W skrócie — od 1 czerwca zamówienia na usługę SFD Service będziemy przyjmować wyłącznie od klientów, których systemy kwalifikują się do bezpłatnego rocznego dostępu do usługi SFD , czyli od tych, którzy zakupili nieograniczoną liczbę systemów VIN („Professional”) od początku 2023 r.

Kiedy udostępniasz coś za darmo, stwarzasz nieograniczony popyt na tę rzecz.

Kochani, w chwili pisania tego tekstu mamy blisko 900 osób zapisanych do darmowej bety SFD, ale większość z nich nawet nie próbowała rozpocząć sesji SFD, a tym bardziej nie poprosiła o token, a ilość informacji zwrotnych, które otrzymaliśmy od poszczególnych użytkowników, była znikoma. Dowodem na to jest niewielka liczba wątków w tej sekcji forum.

Mimo to przetwarzanie tych zamówień to ogrom pracy: weryfikacja tożsamości, sprawdzanie aktualności oprogramowania układowego w interfejsie itd. To pomogło nam nieco usprawnić procesy i znaleźć kilka problemów tu i ówdzie, głównie związanych z oprogramowaniem układowym i obsługą haseł. Wciąż mamy w tym zakresie wiele do zrobienia, ale nie będziemy dalej przetwarzać bezpłatnych zamówień dla osób, którym nie chce się robić tego, na czym polega beta, czyli testować nowych funkcji.

Nie jesteśmy jeszcze gotowi, aby udostępnić to jako pełną wersję i zacząć pobierać opłaty abonamentowe. Mamy nadzieję, że uda nam się to osiągnąć w lipcu. Dlatego od 1 czerwca będziemy przyjmować zamówienia na usługi SFD tylko od osób, którym i tak „winniśmy” rok darmowej usługi.

Jeśli czytasz to przed 1 czerwca i chcesz skorzystać z darmowej usługi SFD, ale jeszcze się nie zarejestrowałeś, przygotuj się i złóż zamówienie. Instrukcje znajdziesz w TYM WĄTKU .

Jeśli czytasz to po 1 czerwca i nie kwalifikujesz się do darmowego roku, ale naprawdę potrzebujesz SFD i możesz podzielić się swoją opinią w postaci skanów i logów, rozpocznij nowy wątek w tej sekcji, w którym zamieścisz kompletny automatyczny skan wykonany przy użyciu najnowszej wersji beta VCDS w samochodzie z SFD. Rozważymy możliwość zrobienia wyjątku.

-Uwe-
Dzień dobry.

Nazywam się Tomasz Płotczyk. Posiadam zarejestrowanego VCDS Pro. Potrzebuję dostepu do SFD z racji wykonywanego zawodu mechanika. Z chęcią podzielę się swoimi doświadczeniami. Jeśli nie kwalifikuję się do darmowego dostępu do SFD poproszę o udostępnienie mi zakupu takiego dostępu. Dziekuję. Tomek.

1) Post in English.

2) Do what is required in last paragraph of the first post in this thread -- the same post you quoted above.

Dziękuję za odpowiedź. Jak mogę wykupić dostęp do SFD? Opcja za 100 dolarów rocznie nie jest dostępna na Państwa stronie, a bardzo bym chciał. Prowadzę warsztat wielomarkowy. SFD w Grupie VW staje się coraz bardziej powszechne. Mam dostęp do SFD za pomocą urządzenia Snap-On i Bosch KTS, ale wolałbym VCDS, ponieważ interfejs użytkownika i funkcjonalność VCDS są niezastąpione. Pozdrawiam, Tomek.

Translation of post #74

Hello.

My name is Tomasz Płotczyk. I own a registered copy of VCDS Pro. I need access to SFD for my work as a mechanic. I would be happy to share my experiences. If I do not qualify for free SFD access, please let me know how I can purchase it. Thank you. Tomek.


Tomek, we/forum can't read Polish, you need to communicate in English.

Translation of post #76:
Thank you for the reply. How can I purchase access to SFD? The $100/year option isn't available on your website, but I would really like to get it. I run a multi-brand workshop. SFD is becoming increasingly common across the VW Group. I currently have SFD access via Snap-On and Bosch KTS devices, but I would prefer VCDS, as its user interface and functionality are irreplaceable. Best regards, Tomek.

Ross-Tech SFD is currently in Beta testing (you can't buy it or subscribe to it Yet.) However, a free trial is being offered; you must follow these instructions on these links (again, post in English).

https://forums.ross-tech.com/index.php?threads/54957/ Read post #1 , especially last paragraph

https://forums.ross-tech.com/index.php?threads/55267/ These are the requirements you should agree to.

Please don't ask random questions without reading these published Instructions.

Please read the TWO Links in post #75 (post above yours). This will answer you SFD questions regarding Ross-Tech.

Also, I just noticed a Web-site maintenance Notice, so be patient as no authorizations will be sent until the Web site maintenance is completed ; I'm not sure when that will be, but I'm sure it wont be more than a few hours.

If I understand this correctly, you are not getting the e-mail with the password confirmation link?

I have checked and all the e-mail addresses we have for you match; the one here in the forum, the one your interface is registered with (which is where the password confirmation e-mails go) and the one in our customer records. All are the same @gmail.com address.

You first set a password on 2026-08-07, and have done so several times today.

Is there any possibility that the the password confirmation mails are landing in your Spam or Junk folders?

Hi Uwe

I’ve been offline for a while using other tools for cars I’ve had in so missed this. It’s finally here, awesome. I’ve been waiting for this for years. Is this SFD1 and 2 (updated version) or SFD1 only?
