Can I get VCDS for free?
The unregistered shareware version of VCDS-Lite is free for non-commercial use, but no support of any kind is available. Use in a commercial environment requires registration. VCDS uses VW’s proprietary diagnostic protocol and is only designed and supported for use in VW/Audi vehicles.VCDS may offer greater detail, including the ability to search through the coding bits and access more documentation, as it’s a PC-based software. It’s also a better choice for those looking to code on older vehicles with legacy protocols.vcds software is free and installation instructions are provided. Free support: we offer free support with our rental. If you have any questions about how to use vcds or need help diagnosing your vehicle, we are happy to help!
