Just a placeholder for more information about my experience with VCDS Mobile and the latest dataset update.
1. 30 MB, using VCDS Mobile, it takes a while over a slow network (e.g. tethering). When interrupted, verification runs nevertheless and hangs. After successful download, extraction takes a while, too.
2. An ASAM update is required, 990 KB. After successful download and verification, extractions gets stuck at file 32/64 or 36/64. Interface hangs (LEDs stuck at random color) and needs to be power-cycled.
3. ROD update via VCDS Desktop succeeds and getting MVB via VCDS Mobile works fine in general.
4. Values selected in VCDS Mobile HUDs have changed. HUDs have to be rebuilt, but are functional (as before).
5. Some values (e.g. IDE08985,AC line current: actual val and IDE08986,AC line voltage: actual val) are not decoded correctly.
6. Selecting OBDII too quickly after reading from other units causes a car connection timeout. This does not happen when switching more slowly, e.g. until the "Installed" list is fully available in the main Select screen.
With all the retries and hangs and waits I didn't have time to do an AutoScan and get version info and updated channel maps. It's on my list ...
