Many other small fixes and improvements, as well as everything which was introduced in Beta Versions 11.2 - 11.10.
Release 10.6.4 posted 18 Apr. 2011
Label File Name and additional Information now shown in Control Module Identification
New Firmware for HEX+CAN interfaces

Support for Subsystems ("Slave Modules") in UDS/ODX
Support for Audi A1 (8X Chassis)
Improved display of fault codes on UDS/ODX modules
New Firmware for HEX+CAN and Micro-CAN interfaces
Improved control module documentation (Label and .ROD files)
Release 10.6 posted 30 June 2010
Supports Basic Settings on control modules using the new UDS/ODX/ASAM protocol.
Adds new UDS addresses and updated ODX data for 2011 models.
Support for new addresses in latest cars
Improved Readiness Screens with additional info
Full 64-bit support on systems which can use it.
New CODES file, now with over 14,000 fault code and measuring value texts.
Updated Label files; improved documentation for new and existing models.
Includes everything introduced in Beta versions versions 912, 10.3, and 10.4.
Release 908.0 posted 30 August 2009
Supports Measuring Values, Output Tests, and Adaptations on control modules using the new UDS/ODX/ASAM protocol.
Adds new UDS addresses and updated ODX data for 2010 models.
Includes support for TP1.6 protocol which is required for the 6J Ibiza and speeds up access on many modules in other models.
The Select Control Module screen now shows "Installed Modules" rather than "Common Modules" if the car being worked on is new enough to have a proper CAN Gateway.
Modified SRI Screen to show more info and force user to select a job before proceeding.
Adds drop-box function selection in Basic Settings and Adaptation.
Reads Mileage stored in many EDC16 ECUs.
New CODES file, now with over 13,000 fault code and measuring value texts.
New USB drivers for enhanced PC compatibility and stability.
New firmware for HEX interfaces required for compatibility with 6J Ibiza
Updated Label files; better documentation for new and existing models.
Too many other improvements to list here. For details see the Beta 812, 904, and 907 pages
Release 812.4
Measuring Values for UDS/ODX/ASAM Control Modules.
These control modules do not support traditional VW/Audi "Blocks" or "Groups" of live data. Instead, measuring values must be selected from a list via Advance Measuring Values. Up to 12 values can be selected and viewed, graphed, or logged at the same time:
This functionality requires a control module specific "data dictionary" file, so as new modules are introduced, it becomes more important than ever to be sure you are using the latest version (including the latest Data Version).
Support for new UDS addresses.
We believe that VCDS now supports addresses for all UDS control modules in production as of this writing.
Support for TP1.6 CAN Protocol.
Required by ABS system used in 6J Chassis Ibiza.
The Select Control Module screen now shows "Installed" modules instead of "Common" modules.
On CAN based cars which have a proper Gateway that supports an Installation List, VCDS now shows exactly which modules are installed on the Select Control Module screen:
It does take about 1.5 seconds to get the list from the Gateway, so a bit of a delay when clicking [Select] is normal/expected. When used on a car which does not have a Gateway that supports an Installation List, the old-style "Common" tab will still be shown. For customers who use VCDS primarily on older cars which do not have an Installation List available, this feature can be disabled on the User Interface and Identification tab of the Options screen.
Support for logging data simultaneously from both ECUs on cars using Dual ECUs.
For example the B7 RS4 and R8 and various W12 engines:
New HEX Firmware Version 1.79
Required for compatibility with the 6J Chassis Ibiza and also speeds up getting the Installation List in Auto-Scan and for the Installed tab of the Select Control Module screen by booting the interface in intelligent mode. However, this means that HEX interfaces no longer boot in "dumb" mode and are no longer compatible with 3rd party applications, so the "Boot in Intelligent Mode" feature can be disabled on the Options screen in those cases where compatibility with a 3rd party application is required.
Supports Transport Mode on a number of new models
Such as the R8, new Ibiza, facelift Touareg, facelift A6.
Improved Support for Coding of Slave Modules
Correct coding information is now supplied to the Long Coding Helper and the master module's Workshop ID is used when coding is sent to the slave module in those instances where the slave module does not yet have a Workshop ID.
SRI Reset button moved to main screen.
It has swapped position with Control Module Finder because SRI Reset is used much more frequently. In addition, the SRI Reset function has been optimized in a manner which we believe will eliminate compatibility problems previously reported on certain PCs. [Save] and [Clear] buttons on the Control Module Finder screen are now functional.
Display EDC Mileage now works with many EDC16 ECUs.
Support for Readiness on US Common-Rail TDI-140 Engines.
Support for Coding Suggestions on a number of new Airbag control modules.
Support for new South African CityGolf 1400 ECU.
Support for Non-Uniform Fault Code Subtypes
In SAE/ISO "B" and "C" codes VW sometimes uses non-standard Subtypes which are now properly supported in VCDS with a new CODES.DAT file containing over 12,600 texts.
Optimized position of Session Log and Advanced Measuring Value select dialogs
Based on user-selected window size and actual size of the PC's screen.
Session Log Filename dialog now allows browsing and opening an existing file
If a VIN is available, existing files are filtered for those containing the VIN.
Improvements in Generic OBD-II:
- Turbo Mode and No Wait for 2nd Controller for increased sample rate.
- Compatibility with BMW models with newer Automatic Transmissions.
- [Copy] and [Save] buttons now functional in Mode 1.
Installer Modified to work with Windows 7.
Release Notes:
Works only with Intelligent Interfaces (HEX, KEY and Micro-CAN).
Works on Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP, and Vista. Windows 95 is not supported.

Numerous small bug-fixes and stability enhancements.
Release 805.0 posted 29 May 2008

New Session Log capabilities.
Support for Generic OBD-II Mode 10.
Support for vehicles with dual ECUs, or example the RS4 and W12 engines.
