You need to get a hex net. If you PM Uwe he will advise you of a trade in option.

There is no Bluetooth dongle for VCDS. The HEX-NET uses WiFi.

Matt already has a HEX-V2. As it is a current interface and universal to all VW/Audi, we don't have an upgrade program from HEX-V2 to HEX-NET.

There is no Bluetooth dongle for VCDS. The HEX-NET uses WiFi.

HEX-NET is the only option offered by Ross-Tech that will allow a phone to speak with a car. There are other products out there. They do use Bluetooth. They are not discussed on this forum. Please search for info on them in other places. Good luck!

I think it wasn't entirely clear what you were asking for.

If you're looking to use VCDS-Mobile, then you need a HEX-NET interface (which also fully supports VCDS running on a PC), but the HEX-NET uses WiFi, not Bluetooth.

If you're looking for something that really used Bluetooth, there are a number of other products out there that come with their own apps, but this forum is probably the wrong place to ask for a recommendation. ;)

I have a generic elm bluetooth dongle I use (less often now) on android with torque and dash.

But the one I have doesn't work with IOS, so I need to find something that works with both IOS and android.

You must buy something with BT LE support. Kiwi 3 work with iPhone without problems. Limitation is, that you can read in iOS (and Android too) only basic OBDII PIDs.
