Any one dare to get a VCDS with HEX-NET Professional USB & WiFi Interface

[DV52]

so how much is the extra licenses? because guaranteed i've already stuck my Hex-CAN in more than 10 cars already - and counting

LOL

Ian: According to the current prices on Ross Tech's webpage, the differential cot between HEX-NET with 10 Vin versus Unlimited VIN is $150 USD.

I suspect that if you purchased a limited VIN HEX-NET initially and then upgraded later, the upgrade price would be (should be?) marginally higher - but I'm not sure of the upgrade price

I use my cable fairly regularly and really can't complain about speed. If you had a workshop and can't wait the 5mins for an autoscan to finish maybe it's worth the upgrade?
But wireless has it's own issues and in my experience with bt vaspc interfaces (and more generally with other rf radios) there's no substitute for an actual cable when it comes to data transfer.
However I've not ever seen the new product so can't give any direct advice other than to as always applaud rosstech for continuing to invest in their product and support their users worldwide 👏

kamold: I'm getting very nervous responding to another moderator (only kidding)!!

I must agree with the underlying sentiment in your reply - which is (I guess) that value is in the eye of the purchaser!

HEX-NET cables are not inexpensive (even the limited VIN version is expensive). Whether the cost is worth the purchase is ultimately a personal decision about "value". The decision to buy is made more stark if the potential buyer already has a perfectly good cable!

In my case, a unique set of circumstances arose which resulted in a value proposition that was impossible to ignore! Best decision that I have ever made - to get my HEX-NET!

Thanks for all that. I figured you meant it was faster to read stuff but I didn't really expect quite that much faster!

That would make the decision to buy one over the other that much harder (given the limits of the WiFi version)... but speed is very nice.

Fair point about adaptation channel Maps Don.
Not owning an mqb platform vehicle my controllers have far fewer channels.
