Can I use VXDIAG Mazda as MDARS Passthru?

Question: 

I got the vxdiag vcx nano for Ford/Mazda 2 in 1 and downloaded Mazda IDS V123 on vxdiagshop.com. It failed to test on a Mazda 3 year 2021.  It said MDARS is required on this model.

Can i use vcx nano with MDARS (Mazda Diagnosis and Repair Software) and how?

 

 

Solution:

Yes, vxdiag engineer has confirmed vcx nano is compatible with MDARS software.

To use MDARS, you need to delete IDS vci driver, select it as a Passthru device instead of vxdiag.

Mazda MDARS software

MDARS works only with VCM II or certified J2534 interfaces (i.e vxdiag vcx nano Mazda J2534/Bosch KTS560/ Drew Tec CarDAQ-M / CarDAQ-Plus2 etc).

Mazda MDARS provides complete dealer-level vehicle diagnostic and reprogramming coverage on Mazda 7th generation vehicles, starting with 2019 Mazda 3 and 2020 CX-30 models.

MDARS is used on Mazda 7th generation vehicles starting with the following all new models:

  • 2019 to present Mazda3
  • 2020 to present CX-30
  • 2021 to present CX-5
  • 2021 to present CX-9

 

  • A Mazda IDS subscription will also get you access to MDARS, a cloud based software, for 7th generation vehicles. Subscription is available from mazdaserviceinfo.com.
  • MDARS uses the same license as IDS at no additional cost. Mazda IDS license you purchase also includes the MDARS license.
  • MDARS can also be purchased for 72 hours or 30 days like PCM reflashing software (MMP/MDSFA) because they will not work on 7th generation vehicles.
  • After 100 days of non-use, your MDARS password will have to be reset. This will take at least one day to have Japan send a password reset email.
  • $49.95 – 72 hours subscription
  • $94.95 – 30 days subscription
  • $899.95 – 1 year subscription
