Functions
From Ross-Tech Wiki
This chart shows the functions currently supported by each of our software products, as compared to the factory scan tools. Keep in mind that not all controllers in all cars will support all functions so please refer to the Factory Repair Manual for each vehicle to determine what should be supported. Also some functions (such as Advanced Measuring Values) may only work with supporting documentation which may not be exist for some modules at the present time. Some UDS functions require supporting documentation for VCDS-Mobile that requires a cloud connection at least once.
