I am probably going to get banned for not owning a TDI. So this is all new to me, and without these great posts, I would not have been able to get VCDS up an running on my 'new' 2012 CC. I had never used any sort of emulation program for running windows on a Mac. Due to not being able to upgrade it any longer (old processor), I purchased a new laptop. My current desktop Mac is about 10 years old and slow as poop. Please note that my Macbook Pro is the first Apple laptop I've ever owned.

But it's working with the setup above.ĭue to the extremely helpful CTD_Chevrolet, I decided to register for this forum just to add my recent experience. How things go in the future with licensing on windows for ARM, parallels support, etc, is up in the air. Interface firmware version etc is in the screenshots. Did the update, tested again and it worked. Nothing happened, unplugged vcds interface from dongle and plugged it in again, parallels popup asked if I wanted to pass it through, I selected the VM, hit test on VCDS and got the popup for a firmware update. Today I plugged in my dongle and interface with windows booted. I ran the VCDS installer on windows, rebooted the guest and host a couple times (didn't try it for a couple days after doing the install). Windows 11 Pro for ARM Build 22478.rs_prerelease.211008-1414 - Evaluation copy, originally installed image was build 22454 Parallels Desktop version 17.1.0 (51516) - trial Platinum brand USB-C to USB-A dongle ( $10 at best buy) - Plugged into 2nd usb-c port from the edgeĢ015 Jetta S TDI DSG - 'Tuna, No Crust' sticker low in front of drivers side rear wheel I haven't seen anyone confirm it working with details anywhere so I thought I'd make a post with my exact setup for future reference. I did some preliminary research and figured this wouldn't work so I planned on buying another cheap x86 laptop for vcds and a couple other one-off applications, but for poops and giggles I gave it a try and it worked. The price and performance of the M1 macbook air finally got me to do what I thought I never would and buy an Apple machine.
