Sticky Updated to Release 26.3 and Having Trouble? Read This Thread

4) Start up VCDS (it may have already started at the end of the installation, which is fine). If VCDS won't start up at all after updating, make sure that Zone Alarm or your virus scanner are not blocking/quarantining the file. Make sure it says Release 18.9 at the top of the screen. If says an older version then something didn't go right. Check the shortcut on your desktop to make sure it's for Release 19.6. If needed, exit out of VCDS then repeat steps 1-3.

I'm guessing that should be 19.6 now?

Does it mean my interface is too obsolete?

There are at least four control modules in that car that your "legacy" interface can't communicate with. So yes, an interface upgrade would be recommended.

Hi,

Recently, I had upgraded to a new laptop that runs Windows 10 64 bit version. I installed VCDS version 19.6.1. When I launch VCDS from desktop shortcut, the program does not launch. Following are the checks I have performed.

1. When I check the task manager, the program is not listed in the processes.
2. Tried running the program in Administrator mode.
3. Tried troubleshooting compatibility issues and ran in Win8 and Win7 compatibility modes.
4. Checked that firewall has been configured to allow VCDS.
5. Added VCDS.exe as an exception in the antivirus software.

None of these work. Any pointers to what could be the problem?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: I have the Hex-V2 interface with a 3-VIN license.

At this point, I think there are more people running Windows 10 and the x64 version of VCDS than any other combination, so there has to be something peculiar about your computer.

Try the "Install 32-bit EXE on 64-bit System" option in the installer to see if that helps.

If that still doesn't work, I would suggest uninstalling and and all bloatware and nannyware that came pre-installed on this computer.

That solved the problem. VCDS now works.

Thanks a lot for the solution.

Possible bug?

Hello!
I have a problem with latest version of VCDS (19.6.1). When I try to access some of control modules of my car (for example, ABS and steering angle sensor), the error balloon above "Advanced ID" button is shown: "Vehicle is unsupported". Every other button stays disabled.
I know about legacy interfaces and 2019+ cars... BUT! My car is 2013 Polo sedan (russian market model), my interface is HEX-USB+CAN, OS is Windows 10 x64. When I've reinstalled previous version (19.6.0 - thank God I kept distro) - all work fine again.
Here is the log from the "Advanced ID" window (sorry don't know how exactly it's called):

Ok, nevermind, here's a bunch of errors mainly in BCM and Discover Media

Need to find a time to kill most of them ("echoes" of retrofitting

There are several modules with "Status: OK 0000" but then shown as "Cannot be reached" - something isn't right here :confused:

Modules ## 37, 56 and 77 are not "real", i.e. their functions is handled by 5F - Information Electr. (Discover Media). When I've tried to remove them from gateway's installation list - there was an "module incorrectly coded" error.
But "Cannot be reached" on engine is a different story... I think it may be related to low battery charge... It discharged right after the scan, when I tried to start the vehicle with no success. I've recharged it but I think it's dying and I need to replace it ASAP.

Can it be related to "Unsupported vehicle" error in 19.6.1? But why there's no such error in 19.6.0 and earlier versions? I've tried two versions (19.6.1 and 18.9.0 RUS) one after another, in one shot, with different results. Then, after battery recharging, I've tried 19.6.0, and it worked fine, like 18.9.0 before.

yep, fixed,
but why VCDS not detect new update ?
I always select - check Beta version too
and did not even know there is 20.4.1

Looks like someone forgot to tell the server. :facepalm:

Hmm... Which German version are you using, exactly?
