Description
This VCDS HEX-V2 Enthusiast USB Interface (3 VIN) gives you authentic Ross-Tech diagnostic power — at an entry-level price. Perfect for personal use, hobbyists, and DIY mechanics working on a few Volkswagen Group cars, this unit delivers dealer-level vehicle diagnostics, coding, live data and more — all from your Windows laptop.
Whether you’re fixing your own VW, Audi, SEAT or Škoda, this interface brings full VCDS Ross-Tech diagnostics to your toolbox without paying for unlimited licences.
Features & Benefits
Ensure your Ross-Tech VCDS diagnostic interface works on older Volkswagen Group vehicles with pre-OBDII connectors using this authentic VAS 5051/2 “2×2” Adapter. Whether you’re diagnosing a classic VW Golf, Audi 80 or early Škoda model, this adapter lets you bridge the gap between early diagnostic ports and modern OBDII tools.
Older Volkswagen Group cars sometimes lack the standard 16-pin OBDII diagnostic port that modern diagnostic tools require. Instead, they use the older style 2×2 Data Link Connector — commonly found in VW and Audi models from the early 1990s. This adapter converts that 2×2 plug into a standard OBDII socket, so your Ross-Tech VCDS interface can connect seamlessly.
The kit includes :
- 2 × Genuine Ross-Tech HEX-NET Diagnostic Interfaces
- USB cables for wired operation
- VCDS licensed software (download)
- Quick start documentation
- Unlimited VIN professional licensing
- Lifetime software updates
Benefits:
- Enables use of VCDS Ross-Tech diagnostics tools on classic cars
- Converts 2×2 diagnostic port to a modern OBDII connection
- Helps unlock advanced fault code reading and reporting
- Works with most early VW, Audi, SEAT and Škoda vehicles with 2×2 ports
- Durable, workshop-ready build quality
