About Ross-Tech HEX-NET

HEX-NET is Ross-Tech's premium interface. It does everything the HEX-V2 does over USB or Wi-Fi with VCDS on Windows, and it also has a built-in web server for VCDS-Mobile, a reduced version of VCDS that runs in the browser of a phone or tablet.

What it adds over the HEX-V2

  • Wi-Fi connection to a Windows laptop running VCDS, so the laptop does not need to be next to the car.
  • VCDS-Mobile: fault codes, measuring values and some functions from any browser, with no software to install.
  • Can connect through your own Wi-Fi network or create its own access point.

Versions

  • Like the HEX-V2, it is sold as a VIN-limited Enthusiast version and an unlimited Professional version, with paid upgrades.

Good to know

  • VCDS-Mobile has fewer functions than full VCDS; coding and adaptations are best done with VCDS on Windows.
  • Ross-Tech supports VCDS-Mobile mainly through its own forums.
