VCDScan (VAG-COM Diagnostic Software) is a professional diagnostic tool originally developed by Ross-Tech for Volkswagen Group vehicles (VW, Audi, Skoda, Seat, etc.). It allows mechanics and automotive enthusiasts to access vehicle systems, perform diagnostics, adjust settings (e.g., speed limiters, fuel trims), and program modules. Over time, VCDS became integral for advanced tuning and repairs beyond standard OBD2 capabilities.

Ross-Tech (now part of Launch Tech) explicitly prohibits unauthorized use of their software.
