VCDS (VAG-COM) is a computer program for car diagnostics that connects via a personal computer to the control units of all Volkswagen Group vehicles (Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, SEAT and some Ford cars).
Its functions are compatible with the VAG 1552, VAS 5051 and ODIS diagnostics used by authorised Volkswagen workshops. The program works on any computer. It is ideal to have this program on a laptop, tablet or smartphone - so the vehicle can be checked while driving.
This program must be used with the HEX-V2 or HEX-NET connection cable or reducers for older vehicles. The knowledge of a computer novice is sufficient to operate the program. The VCDS (VAG-COM) program has been working exclusively with the HEX-xxx cable since version 409.

Vehicles of other brands can be diagnosed using OBD, OBD-II, EOBD standards. The VAG-COM diagnostic program (VCSD) contains all functions used in the diagnostics of Group vehicles.
