Ross tech vcds mac5/21/2023 This could also effect PCs with USB 3 ports as it appears that the HEX is not compatible with USB 3 for some reason. So, it seems that, for whatever reason, the HEX USB dongle doesn't play nicely or switch down when connected to a USB 3 port but works fine when a USB 2 hub is used to force the downgrade. ![]() ![]() I connected an old USB 2 hub to the MacBook Pro, connected the USB dongle to that hub and it appeared in the system report and then worked in the virtual machine. ![]() After much pratting about, rebooting machines, disconnecting and reconnecting the USB connector I still had no joy with the USB device not even being listed in the available devices.Ī month or so ago I'd upgraded my Macbook Pro to a new one which lists it's USB ports/hubs as USB3 and this is the first time I've used it with VCDS so figured it's not a coincidence. Went out to the van today to run some checks and it couldn't find the USB connector in the virtual machine and, when I checked, it wasn't showing up in the Mac's system report either. I have been running VCDS with A Ross Tech Hex-USB for a couple of years on my MacBook Pro without any issues, running Windows XP in a VirtualBox machine. ![]() Thought I'd post this on here in case anyone else finds themselves with the same issue as I couldn't find a solution anywhere and wasted a couple of hours trying to figure it out.
