Does DTS Monaco 9.02 work without Activation/Certificate?

As titled, we have customer asking do we have the DTS Monaco 9.02 (Softing 9.02) on xentry passthru.  Yes, the vxdiag benz c6 xentry passthru does have free 9.02. But we don’t provide activation nor certificate. 

What’s new in DTS Monaco 9.02?
Diagnostic Tool Set (Softing DTS 9) has new functionalities enable even faster and more cost-efficient diagnostic development.

The highlights of the new 9.02 generation include, in particular, remote diagnostic support in the engineering network (remote diagnostics) and the display and recording of Ethernet communication (DoIP, Diagnostics over Internet Protocol). New functions in the area of OTX support, based on the latest standard, enable a perceptible increase in the speed of work thanks to automation and the ability to precisely solve individual problems with self-generated user interfaces. The integration of function-oriented diagnostics with the Smart Diagnostic Engine (Softing SDE) has now already made the leap to the next generation of “diagnostic systems”.

Remote Diagnostics in the Engineering Network

the engineer can connect up remotely, carry out his/her own tests and correct any problems directly (remote software update) so that the actual tests in hand can be continued. This can save a lot of time and money, especially in globally operating teams, as travel can be avoided and expensive test resources shared.

 

Does DTS 9.02 work on W206?
ZenZefi certificates are needed.

 

Does DTS 9.02 work on W223?
For w223 it needs ZenZefi certificate.
This project files works partially not all ecus are able to be coded in w223 and w206 cars.
The zenzefi certificates are around 10 certificates as of now.
Xentry diagnostic still doesn’t work if you are having that 10 zenzefi certificates also still it doesn’t work.
You need for every single ecu separate certificates for Diagnostic and separate for coding. And there are 6 different Types of certificates. After sales Basic, Aftersaleaenhanced, Development, Development Enhanced, Production and Suppliers.

 

Do I need to remote DTS Monaco 8.13/8.16 if install 9.02?

No, you can have both DTS 8 and 9 on the same laptop.

 

Does DTS Monaco 9.02 work without activation/certificate?

No, without working zenzfei it’s actually less useful than DTS8. 
and works on SMR only but not CBF.
Full DTS have support for cbf. The i9.02 is incomplete version.

DTS 8.16 works perfectly with all chassis. Online and Offline.

8.16 works with 223 and 297, it has been working for a ling time, but you need online account.

You need to register and get account to use 9.02! Kline, can and doip protocols are supported. Not like the bad and first test dts from softing wich is viral on internet. Better use 8.16.

Flash Mercedes W221 ECU with VXDIAG VCX SE and PCMFlash

As we all know, vxdiag vcx se is a good passthru j2534 device. Possible to use it with pcmflash?

 

MBCoding has tested the vxdiag vcx se benz (as well as other vcx se series) as a good pcmflash passthru j2534 device.

Here is the demo example on how to flash the Mercedes S500 W221 with M273 engine ECU ME97 using PCM Flasher and vxdiag vcx se j2534. So you can make a chip tuning yourself, Stage 1, Euro2.

Make sure you set the power supply to 13.5V.

 

Read data with pcmflash on bench under module 69 Mercedes M156/M272/M273 (ME 9.7)

Detects VXDIAG J2534 as passthru

They read it on the table but will flash it directly through the OBD connector

Connect vxdiag vcx se unit with vehicle and laptop

Write flash

GM Volt Gen2 Android Auto Update by VXDIAG VCX NANO and SPS

My car is a generation 2 GM Volt year 2017 but was made early 2016. I got the vxdiag vcx nano gm scanner and SPS2 subscription ($40 for two years per VIN unlimited) last night, rushed the Android auto update in late night, haven’t had a chance to look around much at the software.

it can update gen2 or any GM car, but only with the latest software available. Android auto is not available for gen1.

My Volt Gen2 had apple car play, but no Android auto. It’s software version was definitely old. I’m not sure about the new apps, I’ll investigate. This only gives me access to updates GM as specifically released for this module.

It went through the sps software. To update my infotainment system (human machine interface) I actually had to download some software onto a USB, and uploaded that into the system. Then had to do a separate overall update to it.

I select which module I want to update, and it pulls from GM database the files. If there is an update to that module that GM has released, then you can access it. I can’t update say my gen two infotainment system with an entirely different modules software, say a Corvette infotainment system, if that makes sense. At least, that’s my understanding.

Still testing the device.  I’m curious what else you can do with it besides scanning, live data, component actuations.

Will VXDIAG VCX NANO do Old Ford UBP Protocol?

Question: 

I have a 2003 Ford Expedition, and UBP refers to the communication protocol.   OBDLink MX Bluetooth and Forscan have had very few troubles connecting to several vehicles from early models to more recent MS-CAN equipped models. I wonder if the vxdiag vcx nano ford ids is able to access old Fords with UBP.

 

 

Answer:

Most other vehicles use CAN, but these older Fords use UBP to communicate with the PCM. Most devices available cannot communicate with UBP.

Obdlink does not support UBP. VXDIAG VCX NANO does not do old UBP Ford either.

Forscan has UBP support as of version 2.3.09 but only for Ford VCM2 Adapters and VCM2 Clones.

Support for UBP protocols in ELM327 based adapters is still being worked on hence the prompt for the switch change if ISO/UBP is expected on the board but to date reading UBP with ELM327 adapters has not been successful!

You need a UBP compatible scan tool. One of the few scan tools with UBP support is Ford VCM II.

Will VXDIAG Benz C6 DTS Monaco do W206?

Can anyone confirm can i connect VXDIAG Benz C6 DTS Monaco with the new Mercedes W206? I have not found w206 files for DTS (cbf /smr-d?). There is a 206 folder in C:// but nothing in the folder.

VXDIAG C6 DTS Monaco does do w206. But VXDIAG does not provide 206 CBF file.

Find or create 206 CBF files yourself and import to CBF.  You can google search DTS project files.

Forscan Disable 2021 F150 Auto Start Stop Function

2021 Ford F-150 Auto Start Stop can now be disabled via FORScan. You will need a Forscan compatible J2534 interface, i.e the vxdiag vcx nano ford interface.

 

The following has been reported to disable Auto Start/Stop:
PSCM 730-03-01 xxxx xxxx 00–

If you keep the Stop Start status monitor open in the IPC (found in the Trip Fuel menu) you can monitor that every time auto stop start should kick in it will not due to a ‘steering maneuver in progress’, which is an auto stop start interrupt generated by setting this.

 

The person that first tested this newer mod (Airborne_Ape) said “In the tests this generates no errors, no DTC’s, no prompts, no chimes and keeps the battery monitor system active. The Auto Start Stop algorithm is just always interrupted by the PCSM and will never work.”

Can confirm: This is the only notification that I get, and it is only visible if you are already looking at this screen.

No errors, no warnings, no side effects (so far).

By changing that “1” to a “0” you’re basically just tricking the Power Steering Control Module into thinking that the steering wheel is currently in motion, and therefore A.S.S. is not activated.

Since this is a normal action that it looks for each time you stop it wouldn’t generate any kind of error, therefore, no error or warning messages.

Mission accomplished.

Can I Install VXDIAG VCX NANO GM GDS2 T2W on Windows 11?

Possible to set up vxdiag vcx nano gm gds2 and tech2win software on Windows 11 operating system?

 

Here is the test report from one of vxdiagshop.com‘s customers.

 

‘Just finished installing the VX Manager software on my new Win 11 laptop. The installation went normally and everything works as it should.

Thought you guys would want to know the software works with Win 11 Pro 64 bit.

I am pleased to report that the GDS2 software as supplied by VXDiag installs and runs ok on my laptop using Windows 11 Pro 64 bit. So far I have used the laptop and GM VCX Nano successfully with Tech2Win on my ’09 Corvette Z06, and with GDS2 on my ’14 Silverado LTZ.

Two observations:

The defender anti-virus supplied with Win 11 and some third party anti-virus programs do not like the VXDiag software suite. They will block the download, installation, and running of the software. Care must be taken to adjust the settings in the anti-virus software to prevent this.

The VXDiag supplied Tech2Win and GDS2 software does not have 100% functionality as the real GM software. They cannot communicate with all the car’s modules at one time but can communicate with each module individually. This is the same as under Windows 10.

Thanks for the interest and support.’

How to Fix VXDIAG Benz Error Code 193?

Problem:

I got the vxdiag vcx se benz doip well connected but the computer cannot detect the device. It reported the error ‘LoadlibraryEx Error Code 193.

Any idea?

Solution:

Uninstall VX Manager driver and install again.  Better install version 1.8.6.

Make sure you have disabled the anti-virus program. Otherwise, it will eat c:\windows\vcx_x64.dll file.

VXDIAG Ford FDRS Program Mustang 2021 Proximity

Here is a quick guide on how to program a new key to a Ford Mustang Mach E year 2021 using vxdiag J2534 interface and FDRS software program.

 

Tools required:

VXDIAG VCX NANO Ford J2534 passthru

Ford FDRS online subscription

2 keys to be programmed

Here we have a new key and the factory proximity smart key

You need ford vcm2 or other compatible tools for FDRS.
There is a list of them on Ford’s website.
You might need a dealer login that case obviously a dealer can do it or a dealer tech.

I am logged in as a dealer here. Check: How to set up FDRS with VXDIAG VCX NANO for Ford?
All I’ve done is plugged it in and I hit Read vehicle, it’s been reading for around 10 seconds.

it’s pulling every single module in the car and this car is i believe it has 37 modules.

 

It looks at code and checks software versions in every module.

the car doesn’t have to be on for this but if it’s not it won’t actually read all the modules.

We just read some of them.  I think it’s about half maybe a little more read with the car off and the rest need to require the car to be on.

What we’re going to do is i’m going to go ahead and put this key in the backup slot right here.

We’re in it’s basically showing if we have any codes and it’s showing all the part numbers here.

So anything in orange we have what they call DTC’s which are just a stored code.

It shows some information on the side here which is also an oasis.

Go ahead and continue it shows your battery voltage right here. By the way at the bottom right which is helpful again, it shows codes here shows all the tests you

can do here so what we’re going to go ahead and do is just type in the search bar in the top right when type PATS  passive anti-theft system

we’re gonna hit download.  FDRS downloads all modules individually.

It doesn’t take very long usually though if you have a good WiFi connection.

It’s gonna connect to the car real quick.

Check how many keys are programmed and then you just do what we want to do or

whether it asks what we want to do count, erase, program, lost or initialization if you replace it

We count keys, it tells us there are actually two keys.

Here we select Program Key 

Put it in the backup slot we already did

It’s in the bcm lights flash that means it’s programmed

Now it says three keys and takes this new key out

It’s working you can hear the door locks and here’s the first key.

See they both work now so perfect that’s how quick it is for a dealer to program a key.

Super fast and enjoy.
