Back in 2005<\/a> I bought a VCDS<\/a> cable for my then car, and because I bought the right, CAN-compatible cable, that’s done me well for 17 years, and pretty much copes with any VAG car up to 2018.<\/p>\n

Then I bought a 2018 car<\/a>, and started seeing this issue:<\/p>\n


\n----------------------------------------------------------
\nAddress 4B: Multifunc. Module
\nInterface not compatible.
\nPlease upgrade to a current Ross-Tech interface.<\/p>\n

----------------------------------------------------------<\/code><\/p>\n

So a new interface is required.<\/p>\n

The interfaces aren’t cheap, as they also act as a key for the software, and eligibility for lifetime upgrades and support. The original HEX+CAN USB<\/a> was, i think, around \u00a3200 or so, and its replacement, the HEX V2, comes in at \u00a3225-\u00a3450, depending on how many cars you need to do the more advanced stuff<\/a> on.<\/p>\n

Interfaces can be traded in for upgrade, but after asking the nice people at Gendan<\/a> about it, the only way to trade in against a 3 VIN or 10 VIN licence is to send my old cable back to the USA, with the associated hassle and carriage\/customs charges that incurs, all for \u00a3100 trade-in.<\/p>\n

Added to this is that the original cable works completely on cars up to 2018, and has no VIN limitation, and actually, the sane option is either to just keep it for older cars, or sell it. I think it’s most likely I’ll retain it for the older car<\/a> in the household and for doing people favours, leaving me with 2 spare VIN slots for future use with the new cable.<\/p>\n

[edit 2022-12-31]
\n<\/p>\n

In an absolutely amazing bit of logistics, the interface arrived, and sure enough the complaint message has gone, and the multifunction module (actually a control module for lighting that does stuff like cornering lights) shows up:<\/p>\n
