Hi All,
Glad to be here finally after thinking about getting this software for a few years!
I have bought a Hex-V2 and have downloaded the newest VCDS software (19.6.1?) from the RT website. I have also updated the firmware and registered with RT. So hopefully, I'm good to start using VCDS and the Hex-V2.
My questions are:
1. Why are some boxes not available to me in the VCDS software. For example, there are 4 boxes for 'Engine' under 'drivetrain' but I can only click on 01-Engine - the others throw up a ' not found' message. Similarly, 'measuring blocks' using 01-engine is not available to me ???
2. The videos in the Wiki (e.g. for Throttle Body Alignment) show a much older software version of VCDS. As such, when I try and do the same steps using the current software, they look nothing alike. In the video, the very first step in the TB alignment shows 01-Engine / measuring blocks. I do not have the same pages . For example, there are no group boxes anywhere? So how do I check the battery voltage first - measuring value block group 004 ? Since measuring blocks are not available (as above), how and where do I enter values in group boxes ???
3. How can I find out my engine variant? My car is a 2018 Audi S5 coupe. UDS is displayed in the comm status box so therefore I presume my car uses the UDS protocol?
4. How do I code to release the rear electronic brake so I can change the rear rotors and pads?
5. Ditto for headlight adjustment - I need to raise them. Is there a page with coding on the forums or the wiki?
Thanks in advance. I hope this thread is in the right place.
