VXDIAG Xentry Can’t Read Benz 2004 VIN Solution

I used VXDIAG Xentry to diagnose Mercedes Benz W230 2004, it failed to get VIN reading and in this way I can’t talk to the car.

vxdiagshop.com engineer replied:

For the Mercedes Benz before 2010 year, enter from “DAS” software.

For the Mercedes Benz after 2010 year, starts with “Xentry” software.

 

Your Mercedes Benz model is before 2010 year, and the software will automatically jump to DAS software, there is no software problem actually, just click on “F2” to continue now.

Finally!

Yes, I click on “F2” to continue in DAS software and VXDIAG Benz DoIP Kit worked! I can get the VIN reading, and the I can talk to the car.

 

Get one vxdiag benz kit to talk to your Mercedes Benz now:

VXDIAG VCX NANO GM Review on Vauxhalls

I have a VXDIAG VCX NANO GM with Tech2win. I use it for Vauxhalls. Great bit of kit.

That’s what i used and its fine on the later GM cars.

It better runs on Windows 7, and the VM is included on the little CD that came with it.

Download and install the latest VXMANAGER to the VM.

Do not change the timezone, and Do not attempt to update Windows.

Its all been turned off anyway. The VCX has to run on Chinese time. If you set the clock to GMT London, it will never work.

Plug in the VCX, open the VCXmanager.
Update its firmware. Click the License button to get the licenses applied to the unit.
Now its ready.

Now you can use TECH2WIN.

Or, additionally, you will need to acquire GlobalTIS to connect the car with GM to pull codes. And update all software within the car etc.

I’ve just checked, my VM is 26GB. That’s fully running with GlobalTIS all active.

I’ve also used it on a Saab once, and it was a later Diesel. 2010 i think and it worked fine.

Program Chevy Caprice Remote Start with VXDIAG and SPS

Chevrolet Caprice Remote start programming experience with vxdiag vcx nano gm and SPS.

 

Model example 1: 2013 Chevrolet Caprice PPV

Tool required:

the hood latch with connector, PN 92258586.
two transmitters, PN 92237316. This includes the battery and buttons.

VXIAG VCX NANO for GM programming tool

 

I ordered the VXDiag programming tool on vxdiagshop.com
I followed their pdf installation guide to setting it up. In order to use and run the tool. It also emulates Tech2 which is nice to have. It can also clear and reset modules, including brake position relearn among others.

After getting setup I paid $40 for the SPS subscription from AcDelco. You’ll have to use Firefox or similar browser with the latest Java updates, as AcDelco SPS would not launch in Chrome for me. In SPS I went to the (IMMO) Immobilizer module and programmed it yes to have remote start. I noticed there were three different options to program.
*(9C1) SALES PACKAGE POLICE VEHICLE
*(9C3) Police Vehicle, Limited Content
*(9C1/9C3) – Standard vehicle ***Only this ones shows a different calibration code than the other two***
I also programmed the RFA module (Remote Function Actuator). It has an option for Middle East, and USA and Canada (Police Cars). I chose the obvious one, and programmed it.

After all of this, remote start DOES NOT WORK. All doors, trunk, and hood are closed. The signal lamps flash once like they are supposed to. I emailed the local dealership and he said that is exactly why he offers the service, and he said it can’t be done otherwise.

So the VXdiag is a good investment, it emulates Tech2 and can be used with AcDelco SPS. I would have had to order the parts anyhow, but if you’re not interested in having a programming tool, just send your BCM to dealership. I am $300 invested, with no remote start and my TPMS was cleared during one of my many programming cycles so that light is on too.

 

Updated:

Alright got my BCM back today. Remote start is a go.

The option shows up in the DIC. The relearn steps I had to perform via the VXdiag and Tech2 were:

Brake pedal position relearn
Setup primary SDM key in BCM
Tire pressure/size information to 39psi front and 44 rear
Use TPMS tool to re-pair sensors.

No lights, no Christmas trees, no codes in any modules, and with remote start.

In conclusion, I bought two fobs with the PNs listed above. I bought the hood latch with connector. The VXdiag helped me perform SPS functions to flash the Immobilizer and RFA modules. In return for a $40 subscription to ACdelco SPS.

With the $150 plus shipping to send my BCM to dealership, I’m under 500 bucks for fully functional factory remote start.

 

 

Model example 2: 2011 Caprice PPV

If you are not a IT guy or under 30 years old I would highly suggest taking your car to someone else to deal with this mess but it is very possible to figure out if you can take your time and be patient after each step

You need:

$165 Send BCM to dealership
$115 plug it back in and then get the VXIAG VCX NANO for GM unit, install the software for such and then connect the TECH2 clone software to car to erase all the error codes your car now has.
$0 jumper your hood switch or buy new part (stupid it doesn’t need it)
$23 buy a remote start GM fob half to keys….
$40 get a ACDELCO.com SPS subscription to your VIN# and then enable the option for remote start inside of their software which for me was a giant struggle as its clearly from the 1980’s and only runs in Windows Explorer using JAVA which is eliminated now in Chrome, etc….

So $350 plug whatever beer or therapy you require after attempting to do this and you can have factory keyless remote start…

VXDIAG VCX Nano for Holden Commodore VF(2013 – 2017)

Car model and year: VF Holden Commodore SSV Series 2

 

Symptom: 1. Faulty Injector 2. Services Airbag light 3. Service Steering Column Lock

 

GM OBD2 scanner to use:

1. GM Tech2: Tech 2 doesn’t work on GDS2 vehicles such as VF’s.
2. I purchased this one. Bit tricky to set up but worked well in the end.

VXDIAG VCX Nano with GDS2 Tech2WIN software for GM / Opel

About function:

I successfully updated mylink to the latest firmware. being a MY14, I didn’t have the reverse lines but I do now.

It was fairly easy. Using the TIS2WEB java interface, you download the update to a USB, plug it in the the mylink and press start. Then once that’s finished you need to reprogram the radio module which is only a few clicks.

 

Yes all those functions work. Can confirm, using GDS2. Personally I’ve done EPB calibration, release etc, I’ve done steering angle reset and can control everything the BCM does too e.g. unlatch boot, lock/unlock, etc. etc.
I have seen the ability to do the brake bleed but I haven’t actually done it myself.
Reprogramming requires TDS subscription.

 

About price:

If it’s any help I got mine VXdiag VCX nano for GM/OPEL with GDS2 and Tech2win from vxdiagshop.com, it is $125 with Wifi and $115 without wifi (on Amazon it is $180, On ebay, $249 for the WiFi + Usb.)

 

About installation:

I have finally gotten the Tech2 software to play nicely with the Nano and talk to the car..

Finally sussed out how to get on to the acdelcotds.com website, a VPN comes in handy here, so now have SPS ability.

 

NB:

Win 7 64bit VM guest on a Slackware Linux host

No programming yet… Just doing a vehicle wide capture of Module ID’s

 

Win10 no luck? look here:

I was on windows 10 and gds2 has no problems whatsoever.

Maybe try reinstall the software with the latest from vxdiag

https://www.vxdiagshop.com/info/download/

Also in VX Manager make sure you have these 3 installed

 

Finally, got it working. Reinstalled everything from scratch and downloaded the latest vx manager.

For what format does the USB have to be in, found an old 8gb USB 2.0 and formatted it with MBR fat32. Works great. fat32 is always the best for this type of application.

 

About how to fix vxdiag to not communicate with the vehicle:

ok i sorted out the issue that was causing the vxdiag to not communicate with the vehicle.

they are not providing the correct redist package for their updated driver, they are installing 2010 but it needs 2012.

 

you can run it on win7 32/64 or win10 32/64 and if it does not let you select and connect to the MDI 2 device you need to install

Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 x86 make sure you install the x86 version.

 

after that it will work without a vm and communicate with the vehicle.

 

remember to select the MDI 2 in the list and not the vxdiag that shows up.

 

Conclusion:

Yeah the vxdiag can be a bit complicated to setup but once you get it worked out it does the job.

Most of the problems people will have will be prerequisite files like .net 3.5 and vs redist packages.
