Vcds for mac serial#
Ross-Tech: VCDS: USB Driver Installation for Windows XP Of course, the same would apply with a serial interface as well. When I start the software from Mac's Finder, I get an error message: Can't Open Codes File: CODES.DAT when I use explorer.exe from Wine, and manouvre to the installation-folder, the software starts correctly.
Vcds for mac mac os x#
The host operating-system is Mac OS X 10.6.2 the version of Wine is 1.1.34 the installation is done with Wine. Hi, I am trying to get the VAG-COM software from Ross-Tech to work with Wine.
Vcds for mac full#
The full path is: C: program files vcds vcds.exe how can I make such link? Obviously, I need a shortcut / link, that gets me to the correct folder first and than starts the softeware. Also when I open a command-prompt, and manouvre to the installation-folder, there is no error. If you want a corded solution, the Hex-CAN v2 is solid and cheaper.Hi, I am trying to get the VAG-COM software from Ross-Tech to work with Wine. The WiFi link works really reliably, though it’s a bit of a hassle to setup initially. I can connect wirelessly from my iPhone in a pinch and do some logging and stuff, or connect wirelessly from my laptop and get full VCDS functionality without needing a cable. Īll in all though, the thought of using my MacBook to run VCDS while working on my car is probably my biggest worry and why right now I'm leaning towards the "beater laptop" to run VCDSĪs far as which cable to buy, any suggestions or things I should consider? Do they offer a wireless solution? Best place to buy (Europa has free shipping, any advantage to buy direct from Ross-Tech)?Yea it’s possible that your laptop might take some knocks while in the garage so in those cases having a beater laptop is a good idea.Īs far as cables, I have a Hex-NET right now and it’s great.
Vcds for mac windows 10#
Interesting that you can download Windows 10 & use on a limited basis, also did not know this. I have plenty of hard disk space & feel like I should just partition off some of my 2nd hard drive & go the bootcamp route, but reading about the VM solutions has got me thinking about that now. haha.Īwesome thread, been sitting firmly on the fence here for almost a year now! This is not a pressing need, so that is probably partly reason it's taking me so long, but I think mainly I just keep going back and forth.
VM sounds like a solid option, just wasn't sure if firmware updates would go well for the Ross-Tech cable and Ross-Tech specifically says not to use a VM and to use a "robust" Windows install. I can use Ross-Tech as a guide but often the menu options aren't quite the same or the wording is different and I don't like that, "well this seems like what I want" feeling. There's just not a lot of support for OBDEleven. Sounds like there might be a way with OBDEleven though so I guess I need to run that down a little more. I guess I gotta do what I gotta do though. Either way I’m far more versed in Macs (only have a Windows box to game in the living room) so the vagaries of external booting is something I know little about so I’ll absolutely defer to you on that.īut yea in general boot camp or a VM are the simplest, VM gets my vote because it’s super easy to spin up without having to reboot which makes it far more handy for quick “let me just check this one thing” and not having to re-open browser tabs or whatever when you reboot to windows.Ī cheap laptop on clearance is a solid option as well, it’s just not free.It's less about spending the money and more about having another single use gadget laying about. I sorta figured you meant BIOS as “pre-boot environment” not bios exclusively but wasn’t sure.
