VCDS Tablett | Posts 32+

I have been using an Archos 9 tablet exclusively for VCDS for the past 6 years.
Works great, whether with a pen or your finger.

Hello everyone, I would also like to use VCDS with my Samsung S2 Tab from time to time. Which adapter for the USB port do you recommend that works with the cable?

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Hi Brezelmann,

I assume that the Galaxy Tab S2 has a Micro-USB port, correct?
In this case, almost any mechanically usable connector adapter would be usable, as there are simply 2 connectors (Micro-USB connector and USB 2.0 Type A port) and a cable in between.

Best regards, Rainer
PS: I didn't know that the tablet had Windows on it. Win 10?

Hi Rainer,

It's not a Galaxy, but rather a Tab S2, as mentioned above, and it runs on Android. And there seems to be an APP available in the Play store. Or is this something that is not allowed?

Greetings, Brezelmann

Ok, well, it seems like the USB and HEX-USB+CAN devices are potentially fake. Unless the app allows VirtualBox to run with Windows 10 inside.

Can it be that you mean the app for VCDS Mobile? This is for a different diagnostic interface (HEX-NET) and only opens the VCDS-Mobile website:

In this case, you don't need an app, but you can directly start the browser.

For this, you don't need a USB, as the HEX-NET interface is also accessible via Wi-Fi and a web server with VCDS-Mobile is running on it.

The VCDS Mobile is not bad, but a) it is currently only available in English and b) it is not yet as mature as the Windows VCDS software.
If it's intended for daily workshop work, I would recommend a tablet, netbook, or laptop with Windows 10.

Best regards, Rainer

Uhhh. Very embarrassing . You're right, that's actually the VCDS mobile for the Hex Net adapter. So, I guess I'll have to continue using my IBM T60. Found the idea of quickly logging with a tablet to be too tempting

Thank you for your efforts!
