VCDS Release VCDS-Lite

Important Notes: Beta versions contain new features and functions that have not yet been as fully tested as have Release versions. If you use a Beta, you may find bugs or problems and you are expected to report them to Ross-Tech so that we can fix them before making a new Release.

Beta 23.7.0 included the following improvements:

• Preliminary Model-Year 2024 support
• Many behind-the-scenes changes
... internal improvements, but nothing worthy of a screen-shot.
• All new ROD data build
... DS350.0

• New Label Data
... version 20230804

• New LCode
... version 2.1.4

• New VCDSSCan Toolbox
... version 23.7.1

Beta 23.7.1 includes the following improvements:

• Fixed MK8 Battery History Support
• Force-close LCode when exiting Coding screen in VCDS
• New LCode
... version 2.1.7

Beta 23.10.0 includes the following improvements:

• New DS251
• Removes UDS Freeze-Frame Status line and bit-decodes the DTC status instead
... in order to make DTC info more closely resemble what the current version of ODIS.
• Fixed a UDS basic settings issue where user-inputs with a specific default number assigned would not be visible/selectable

Release Notes:

• Beta 23.10 works only with Ross-Tech's current HEX-NET and HEX-V2 interfaces.
It will not work with any of our older, legacy interfaces.
Support for legacy interfaces will be included again in the next Release version.
• HEX-NET and HEX-V2 interfaces must be set to the Beta channel using VCIConfig.
CB v0.4643 or higher is required to use this version of VCDS.
Beta channel for your interface can be selected on the Advanced tab in VCIConfig.
Updating your interface will not affect compatibility with previous versions of VCDS.
• Default installation location is C:\Ross-Tech\VCDS-Beta\
If allowed to install to its default location, it will not overwrite or interfere with the use of Release 23.3
• Works on Windows 7 and newer, including Windows 11.
32-bit or 64-bit and ARM-64 versions of Windows are fully supported.
It might still work on XP as well, but we no longer consider any version of Windows older than 7 to be "supported."
• The Copyright Notice, Disclaimer, and Instructions posted on our main download page apply to this version as well.
