A little finding/noticing in the VCDS.
My car lives in a parking garage below the apartment complex I live in. Since it's i Switzerland, it is probably capable of withstanding a nuclear blast.
I don't know why, because who would nuke Switzerland, but hey, that's what they do here.
My WiFI doesn't reach into the parking garage, neither does a cellular signal.
Yesterday I was starting VCDS and it didn't pop up. I was stuck with a VCDS process in the task manager of about 56MB but no show.
I tried various things, like restarting the virtual machine, connecting/disconnecting the interface cable, restarting the laptop.
When I came back up into the apartment, it popped up straight away.
I'm not sure my interpretation is correct but it appears VCDS does some update check and only launches until it can talk to ross-tech.com.
(or maybe it's a validation check?)
I was slightly panicked at some point but it does make sense now.
Not sure whether it's a bug or a feature, but at least you know.
