VCDS Tablet: Features & Benefits | Posts 32+

I've been using an Archos 9 tablet for VCDS software for 6 years.
It works great, whether you use a stylus or your finger.

Hello everyone, I would also like to occasionally use VCDS with my Samsung S2 Tab. Which USB adapter do you recommend that will work with the connection cable?

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Hi Brezelmann,

I assume that the Galaxy Tab S2 has a Micro-USB port, is that correct?
In this case, virtually any mechanically usable adapter would work, as it simply involves two connectors (a Micro-USB plug and a USB 2.0 Type A female connector) connected by a cable.

Best regards, Rainer.
PS: I didn't realize that the tablet runs Windows. Is it Windows 10?

Hi Rainer,

It's not a Galaxy, but as mentioned above, it's a Tab S2, running on Android. And it seems there's an app available in the Play Store for it. Or is that not allowed?

Greetings, pretzelman.

Okay, well, it looks like a fake for USB and the HEX-USB+CAN to me. Unless the app is running Windows 10 inside VirtualBox.

Could it be that you mean the app for VCDS-Mobile}? That app is for a different diagnostic interface (HEX-NET) and only opens the VCDS-Mobile website.
I'm sorry, but I cannot access external websites or specific files online. Therefore, I am unable to translate the text from the provided URL.

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

For that, you don't need a USB connection, as the HEX-NET interface can also be accessed via Wi-Fi and runs a web server with VCDS-Mobile on it.

The VCDS-Mobile app isn't bad, but a) it's currently only available in English, and b) it's not as mature or feature-rich as the Windows VCDS software.
If it's for daily use in a workshop, I would recommend a tablet, mini-PC, laptop, etc. running Windows 10.

Best regards, Rainer.

Uhhh. Very embarrassing . You're right, that's actually VCDS mobile for the Hex Net Adapter. So, I guess my IBM T60 will have to do for now. The idea of a quick log with a tablet was too tempting .

Thank you for your effort!
