VCDS doesn’t work properly on newer Audis

Hoping this is the right place to put this. If not, mods, could you move it please?

I have a VCDS HEX+CAN for many years and it still works fine on my D2 S8 and my 2008 TTS. But recently, I’ve tried it on a more recent TT and a ‘22 A4. It connects and scans but I don’t get much information and it ...
