The information below is not well detailed anywhere that I have been able to find. Ross-Tech briefly reviews this below, but requires a lot of knowledge on manual driver installation in Windows. A lot of enthusiasts have genuine Ross-Tech cables, and this can be used to make them even more useful than they already are with VCDS, as 3rd party applications can provide more than VCDS has to offer. This can save you the cost and headache of having to buy and use a second cable. I have been able to use the genuine Ross-Tech cable in any place that a generic FTDI OBD-II cable would otherwise be needed after installing the drivers and setting them up properly. This is going to require that you are at least somewhat familiar with navigating around Windows.

This is being displayed on Windows 10, but the process should be similar, if not identical, on Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8.x.
First, download the drivers from Ross-Tech. While it is very tempting to skip to the very end and download away, be sure to read the text on the page so that you at least know what you're getting into. Pay special attention to the first bullet subsection. Consider yourself warned. After you get the drivers downloaded, unzip the files and remember where you put them.

Open up Device Manager, either by itself or through the computer management console. You'll need to plug your Ross-Tech cable in for the rest, but you don't have to be at your car to do this, so you can do so pretty much anywhere if you want. Once the cable is plugged in, expand the USB controllers section and find your cable. Right click and select Update Driver Software... I realize that the driver is already installed, but we need to 'update' it again.
