VXDIAG VCX SE Benz supports Vediamo?

Question:

I cannot decide which device to buy for a long time.  then I came across the VXDiag VCX SE device.  It says it can do doip, and I won’t have any problems while flashing.  Other devices I can think of are VXDiag VCX C6 and SD Connect C4 Plus (Clone).   Which would you prefer?  ? Does it work with Vediamo?

 

 

Answer:

DTS Monaco: 100% Yes.  Xentry hard drive/solid drive comes with DTS software.

Check: How to Set up DTS Monaco for VXDIAG Benz C6?

 

Vediamo: No

Only 2 of our customers passed the test.  Most failed to work Vediamo with vcx se. So better don’t use the vcx se with Vediamo.

 

 

Vcx se or vcx c6:

They use same software. As for hardware difference, check post here

VXDIAG VCX SE vs. VCX Multi Tool Hardware

VXDIAG VCX SE Benz vs MB SD Connect C4

 

Both supports WiFi wireless connection

Both supports DoIP Benz

MB SD C4 supports both DTS Monaco and Vediamo, vcx se does not support Vediamo

vcx se allows firmware update online, C4 cannot.

vcx se has vx manager to check device connection features, C4 does not.

vcx se can be enabled with DoNET remote diagnosis, C4 cannot.

The biggest advantage of vcx se is that you can add other brand licenses to the device, c4 is for Mercedes only.

vcx se is cheaper than SD C4

Tech2Win Fix GM Corvette C5 2000 won’t start

Car model and year: GM Corvette C5 2000

 

Symptom and what I tried to do:
I have narrowed it down to the Tdr not actuating, however when I test it there’s power to the solid yellow when the ignition key is turned and constant live on the thick red but it seems that the black and yellow is not being actuated inside the bcm to allow it to start.
If I ground the black and yellow by bypass, the car then starts and the Tdr clicks but the car immediately stops again.
I have checked the clutch safety switch which is ok, and the Security light goes out. Obviously, the fact that the car starts eliminates the battery, solenoid, starter and ground terminals which have been cleaned and greased.
According to the diagram of the circuit everything seems to be working normally except the bcm starter enable relay control.

 

Problem Analysis:

The body control module is grounding A9:C1 through splicepoint SP208 to the G104 in the engine room (below battery)

The splicepoint SP208 (shown in photo) is located above footwell (fusebox) on passenger side .

 

Someone has the problem with the TDR , the reason was a bad connection in the SP208 splicepoint. Due to this the BCM was not able to energize the TDR relay.

How to do next?

I’m starting to think that either I scrap my nice condition c5 or I invest in a knock off Tech 2 but I see conflicting opinions on the subject.

 

I have both a Tech2 clone from China and a VXDIAG VCX NANO for GM (also from china) and are running Tech2win software on my win 10 64 bit laptop .

The Tech2win has the same menues as the Tech2 clone , but you need to download and install some software from VXDIAG to install Tech2win on your laptop . Not hard to do .

 

Installation

I prefer running Tech 2 menus on a bigger laptop screen instead a smaller Tech2 scanner screen.

Tech2win is also cheaper than a Tech2clone

 

Another Possibility:

The ground is the C3 connector pin B7 on the BCM !!

How to Fix No Device in both MDI and VX Manager?

VX manager is supposed to crack the license and I think it would of it was connected to a proper Bosch or VXDIAG VCX Nano GM device. When I open the manager it says no device in both mdi and vx. How can I fix that?

 

To be clear at first: 
GDS2 uses the J2534 protocol. Therefore you can actualy use it with multiple interfaces….

Tech2Win ONLY runs with an Interface which has the bosch PDU-Api. The Mongoose GM Pro II has this function and is fully compatible to tech2win.

But dont get confused. You dont need the Mdi-Manager. It will only show BOSCH MDI I and II interfaces. Nothing from Third-Party. But thats not problem because MDI-Manager is only for configure the MDI-Interfaces and to update them.
Nothing to do directly with Tech2Win.

First you should check, that you installed the Drewtech Tech2Win driver as Administrator. AND be sure that it is the ONLY driver for this. No vxdiag nothing else than the Drewtech driver.

If you had different drivers previously installed, also check your device manager, but activate “show hidden devices” look under all the folders (mainly com-devices and system-devices) maybe you have multiple Eltima virtual com port drivers! If yes, delete them all -> reninstall tech2win -> Install Drewtech tech2win drivers.

Then you connect your mongoose to the usb port and open Tech2Win. You should hear the usb-connect sound again and your mongoose appears in the list.

 

the smoothest way… install globaltis on your device… than you can always give yourself an tech2win license an security access

But if some functions are not working or some ecus not responding etc… open an ticket at drewtec. maybe it is an hardware fault. Then you get an new one.

 

Tech2Win ist the Tech2 Emulation (which GM uses today with MDI for example) for Cars that were built before 2010.

GDS2 ist the Diagnostic and Calibration System for everything since 2008 (2008 they started with gds2 like Insignia cars etc)

For example. If you own an Astra H 2008 you need Tech2Win. If you own an Insignia B 2011 you need GDS2

Both are complete separate systems.

For good results with GDS2 and cracked leases I would recommend some virtual machine you can find anywhere on the web.
Just load them into VMWARE Workstation and you are done.

For using Tech2Win you don’t need virtual environment. That runs very good even on win10 x64 (with defender and everything enabled. never had issues).

 

Alright, here is the source of VXDIAG VCX NANO for GM / OPEL GDS2 V21.0.01501 / 2020.4 Tech2WIN 16.02.24:

VXDIAG VCX NANO GM Setup on HP DM4 Laptop

Out of the box you receive the VXDIAG VCX Nano GM, USB cable and a not so clearly written instruction pamphlet instructing to download the software. The download provider is MEGA which when you use the link provided in the instructions requires you to register for an account. Not feeling comfortable using this service I just Googled VCX Nano and I found it on the Allscanner blog VXDIAGSHOP.com after collecting the three software packages, Tech2Win, GDS, and VX Manager I was ready to start.

 

I have an older laptop HP DM4 which has the 2.0 USB ports that I use to program other cars. This is important because you have to turn off all Antivirus. If you don’t the antivirus quarantines the programs due to finding Trojan Software. So after turning off the antivirus, you wouldn’t want to use the laptop for anything but programming.

 

Back to the installation, I moved all the install Files to a root directory on the C: drive and named it VXNANO then extracted each of the zip files to that location. First I installed the GM GDS by using the GDS2Autoinstall, Then I installed the Tech2Win software by using the Tech2WinAutoInstall, and lastly I installed the VX manager by clicking the exe file and letting it run. Once the VX Manager is finished you will find the VX Manager Icon on the Desktop, you will need to click it. Then in VX Manager use the Configure option to verify its set to use the Auto connect. At this point you can test the VCX NANO by connecting it to the Laptop and the Vehicle. Then start the VX Manager it should find the NANO and give you the Serial Number, Configuration and Licenses If you click on the license tab in VX Manager it should show each device which you purchased and the expiration date. Return to the Home page in VX Manager and select Diagnostics you should find the Passthrough, GM, and GMSDS Icons you will use the GM Icon first to install the MIDI Driver. (I missed a issue at this point My Laptop USB driver was out of date, this became an issue that drove me nuts trying to figure out. My solution was to completely uninstall the USB port in Windows Device Manager, including the driver. ) then return to the VX Manager and install the interface for each.

There are some decent videos on Youtube to walk you through the configuration of the GM GDS and Tech2Win. But you can click on the GM Icon on your desktop this will start the program, be patient as it takes some time to load. Then select the MIDI2 Interface, the next screen will be the USB Interface with some numbers click it. Then use the GDS2 Interface to connect the banner will change form yellow to green across the top when it connects. If you have a vehicle older than 2010 the GDS2 will not program your car. Just close out, we were just checking the MIDI to USB Interface. Now before you start the Tech2Win Interface you need to know it may or may not work on Windows 10. I had to configure the Tech2 Link and program in Windows Compatibility Mode, and use the advanced settings to set the “Run as Administrator” The software would not communicate with the USB Port in Windows 10, when configured for Windows 7 Compatibility it would work but crash while using the program. When I set it to Windows 8 Compatibility it works, communicates, scans with no problem. Once you set this up the Tech2Win program will ask for the interface to connect MIDI, MDI2 OR VCXNANO.

I have used both the MDI2 and the VCXNANO interfaces and they both work. Just because the Tech2 shows the VCX NANO in yellow doesn’t stop it from working. At this point your Tech2 will boot up in a virtual window, click the expand button on the top to fill your screen. Use you mouse to navigate the screen and buttons. Some of the Icons on the screen require you point the mouse and click others require you to use the virtual keypad on the side. Its time to click through you vehicle by make, model, type, then notice at the bottom left you will see the small icons for the Tech2, MDI, NANO, and car the arrows show if they are communicating.

 

This will now let you scan your car. If you want to program your car you will need the ACDelco SPS program found on the acdelcotds.com website. You will need to purchase the SPS service which runs on a Java app. Register for your account pay the $40 for 2 years, verify your e-mail address. When you return you will need to look at the line for the SPS Subscription and on the far Right you will see a small hyperlink View this is where you will enter your VIN number and where you will return to use the program. When you click on the SPS Icon it will download the Java App, which your browser will try to stop. You will need to right click the download file and tell the browser to keep the file. Once downloaded you can click the file and it will bring up the programming interface which allows you to program the modules in your car. Just Remember Tech2Win to Diagnose and SPS to Program. If your car is newer than 2010 then you can use the GDS2 program to diagnose. Took me three days to get it working. Hope you can do it sooner.

VXDIAG VCX NANO Ford IDS 2015 F350 Review

VXdiagshop.com says the vcx nano Ford IDS will not work with F-Series vehicles before 2010 implying it works with 2011 and later, other sites and sellers have said it did not work with any F series vehicles.

I bought it via vxdiagshop so I could return it for free if it didn’t work, but thankfully, it wasn’t needed. I was able to perform an SCR DEF injector cleaning cycle using IDS, which was my purpose for buying it today. It worked with my 2015 F350 despite conflicting information. I could replicate most functions of the IDS software / VCX Nano with a much cheaper ELM327 adapter and Forscan, however, the SCR injector cleaning cycle was not available.

The item itself is fine. Everything still worked being used.
