If you encounter difficulties, check FAQ 2.4 and 2.5
When it's done click Close then Save.ħ) At this point all of the buttons in VCDS should be available so you should try communicating with the car, for example by clicking on Select then 01-Engine then Fault Codes-02. You do not need to be connected to the Internet to do the firmware update but you DO need to remain connected to the car. If you test without a car it will be unable to check for a firmware update and will be unable to update.Ħ) If the Options>Test result shows everything OK but Firmware Update Required, click OK then Update. It doesn't matter if it's a VW/Audi, just something with an OBD-2 port with the key ON. In order to fully test the interface, it needs to be connected to a car so that the interface has 12V of power. You should acknowledge that message then go to Options and click Test. If needed, exit out of VCDS then repeat steps 1-3.ĥ) You should get a message saying something about "First Use, No Config File". Check the shortcut on your desktop to make sure it's for Release 15.7. If says an older version then something didn't go right. Make sure it says Release 15.7 at the top of the screen. 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. If you encounter difficulties, try these instructions:Ĥ) Start up VCDS (it may have already started at the end of the installation, which is fine). Depending on the version of Windows it may pop up with a USB Driver Installation Wizard or it may just automatically do its thing.
At the end of the installer, it will prompt you to install USB drivers which you should let it do as well.ģ) If your interface is plugged into a USB port, unplug it, leave it unplugged for 5 seconds then plug it back in. The updater in VCDS should accomplish the same thing but when in doubt, install a fresh copy.Ģ) Allow the installer to run through completely, agree to the terms, and unless you have some compelling reason to the contrary, allow it to install into its default location with the default installation options. Therefore, here are some things to try if "it doesn't work".ġ) Make sure you have downloaded Release 15.7 from our website and installed it onto your PC: The natural human inclination seems to be to blame the last thing that has changed but we have found explanations and resolutions for most of these cases. We have gotten a handful of reports from customers who are having various difficulties after updating to Release 15.7.
