- Fix: In Device Manager > Advanced, change COM port to COM1, COM2, or COM3. Also, ensure the VCDS software is running as Administrator.
Troubleshooting

- Re-run installer as Administrator.
- Right-click device → Update driver → Browse my computer → Let me pick → select the installed driver from list (FTDI-based).
- COM port not listed in VCDS:
- Confirm VCDS is set to the same COM number shown in Device Manager.
- Try another USB port or a short USB extension cable.

- Replace cable or try a different USB port (avoid hubs).
- Update VCDS software to latest compatible release.
- Windows blocks unsigned driver:
- On modern Windows, enable test signing or use the signed driver recommended by vendor. Prefer vendor-signed packages.
Where to Find VCDS USB Driver Version 02.10.00
Legitimate sources:
- Ross-Tech’s legacy downloads: If you have a paid support account, Ross-Tech maintains an archive of previous driver releases.
- FTDI’s CDM archive: FTDI keeps a repository of old Combined Driver Model (CDM) releases. Look for CDM v2.12.00 WHQL Certified (note: 02.10.00 is an internal FTDI version; Ross-Tech may have renumbered it as 2.10.00 in their bundles).
