'''Ross-Tech Wiki''', founded January [[:Category:FoundedIn2006|2006]], is a [[wiki]] run by Ross-Tech, LLC for general {{tag|information}} and detailed help on their 'factory level' VAG-COM Diagnostic System (VCDS™) – for use on all Volkswagen Group (VWAG) {{tag|vehicles}}; which include Volkswagen Passenger Cars, Audi, Seat, Škoda, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, Lamborghini and Bentley.  It can also be used on other vehicles which use a VW Group engine, such as the Ford Galaxy, Volkswagen {{tag|Maritime|Marine}} motor {{tag|Boats|yacht}} engines, along with specialist equipment such as generators which use Volkswagen Industrial Engines.  Due to the extensive nature and deep complexity of the VCDS tool, and the very real scope for causing permanent damage to {{tag|cars}} (or associated equipment) due to inappropriate use of VCDS – creating and editing of wiki articles is normally only carried out by Ross-Tech staff (mainly [http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/User:Sebastian Sebastian] and [http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/User:Dana Dana]), although other trusted individuals may also be {{tag|ByInvitation|invited}} to edit.[http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/Special:ListUsers]  The content of the wiki (and its related website) is copyright protected by its creator, Ross-Tech LLC, and "VCDS" is its Registered Trademark.
