What is the point of this?

It just installs VCDS into a wineprefix, which is meaningless since VCDS will not see the USB interface anyways.

Make sure you have the needed rights to access your computer's serial and parallel ports. On Linux, a user must typically be a member of the sys or dialout group to access serial ports, or the lp group to access parallel ports. :-)

Wine can't access usb devices, but can use serial devices. Maybe there are some rs-232<->CAN adapters that work?

EDIT: there are also network can bus adapters

There are, you can find them at your local museum.

Those host a website which imitates the VCDS UI and does not use any PC software.
