For customers who use VCDS primarily on older cars which do not have an Installation List available, this feature can be disabled on the User Interface and Identification tab of the Options screen. When used on a car which does not have a Gateway that supports an Installation List, the old-style Common tab will still be shown. It does take about 1.5 seconds to get the list from the Gateway, so a bit of a delay when clicking is normal/expected. In CAN based cars that have a proper Gateway supporting an Installation List, VCDS will automatically populate one or more Installed tabs containing buttons for only those control modules that are actually installed in the car. Newer cars have more, older cars have fewer.Įach tab on the top of this screen contains a number of different controllers grouped by category.

Note: Your car will not have all the Control Modules listed in VCDS, only the ones on the Applications Page for your car. On this screen, you select which Control Module you want to "talk" to. The various computers in the car are called "Control Modules" or "Controllers".
