VXDIAG Benz Xentry Adaptations Not Accessible?

Problem:

Tried to code the Backup camera module on a Mercedes CLA 177 with VXDIAG VCX SE Benz and 2024.09 xentry.

There is nothing on the adaptations selection (see image). Xentry has the functions disabled/not accessible.

Error

Caution.

No more updates can be installed on the diagnostic system.

VXDIAG Benz Xentry Adaptations Function Not Accessible

Here is the clue.

Adaptations need to do SCN online and you need a login first.

You have to have Mercedes Benz online account.

Xentry offline will not access adaptations functions.

Or try DTS Monaco or Vediamo to work on that encoding.

VXDIAG VCX NANO GM Works on 1997 Chevy Blazer

Here comes the honest review of VXDIAG VCX NANO GM on an ancient Chevrolet Blazer.

 

“This worked perfectly fine on my 1997 Chevy Blazer. I mainly got it to do a crank sensor relearn, but turns out only 1998 and newer Blazers supported that special function. I read live data though to check everything else out, and it all works as it should.

I have a newer scan tool “Harbor Freight” and an older MacTool code reader that is supposed to read ABS too but, they will not communicate with my 1997 Blazer.

The reviews claiming there are issues are not being truthful, and are due to user error. Just follow the proper install procedures, go to the VXDIAG website and download the current version of ‘VX Manager’ (V1.8.9.0601).

Plenty of instructional videos. Figure it out, it’s not hard.”

VXDIAG PSA Diagbox License Invalid Solution

Problem:

VXDIAG VCX SE PSA Diagbox 9.85 failed to connect to a Citroen DS2. The software searches for the VCI and then it says the license is invalid. However, the PSA license was activated. Both firmware and license are up-to-date.

VXDIAG PSA Diagbox License Invalid 1

VXDIAG PSA Diagbox License Invalid 2

VXDIAG PSA Diagbox License Invalid 3

VXDIAG PSA Diagbox License Invalid 4

Vxdiagshop.com engineer did a Teamviewer check and found the solution.

Many software on his computer conflict with the diagbox software.

Since the VXDIAG PSA scanner uses a separate driver for diagbox, you should install Diagbox software on a separate laptop.

Then it should be fine.

VXDIAG VCX SE Tested Working on Benz W211 2002

VXDIAG VCX SE Benz scanner latest review from one of the Russian users:

“I bought myself a VXDIAG VCX SE in order to save on diagnostics in the future. They says it is not good for old K-line models pre-2005. Although I doubted it would work completely with the old w211. Especially regarding the SBC unit.

Installed Xentry XDOS 24.09 and a short test found out that it sees all the blocks except ESP. Now I just have to sort out the errors)

After the test the unit’s number appears and you can enter it. But the ESP unit does not see.

It read the SBC unit and found a fault code.

Update:
Disabling this option in the dashboard helped, and the error on the speedtronic disappeared at the same time.

SBC -> Developer Data -> Activations -> Full list of all activations. And in the list that opens there will be a bunch of values, among them the necessary ones.

VXDIAG VCX NANO GM Review on Holden Captiva

Here comes the honest review of the VXDIAG VCX NANO GM scanner on Holden Captiva.

 

“I recently ordered a VXDiag VCX NANO for GM. Device works great on my Holden Captiva car (GDS software)!! This device works for the models advertised. Get a buner laptop for the software since it is flagged as a virus. Follow the guode on how to install it for Holden cars (and check yours is supported) and you have a GM scan tool for a pin prick of a price. 10/10 recommended.
Works better than Topdon, Thinkdiag, Launch (tried them all). Overall, I’m still impressed with the level of functionality with the Launch/Topdon scan tools. I’m not in love with the subscription model for the software, but with an acquisition cost.  What’s more, a scan tool like this cannot reprogram the PCM/ECM internal data to adjust the fan on/off temps.

Thanks for this!”

FDRS or Forscan for Ford F-150?

VXDIAG VCX NANO Ford/VCX SE/VCX FD Ford interface is compatible with both Forscan and FDRS software. What software to start with?

 

Both software have their place and you should use the one best suited for each job.

FORScan is great for making config changes/mods to settings as you’ve already figured out. You can reset various modules (including GWM) via FORScan. You can make changes with forscan, including Bambi mode, removed the “full screen not available”, removed the double horn honk, enable cameras at speed, change the tire size and more. Forscan lite (IOS or android) does not support editing asbuilt data of any modules. If you want to edit asbuild data you have to do it with forscan on a windowsn computer with the free trial extended license or the paid extended license.

 

FDRS is a better troubleshooting, diagnostics and firmware update tool … it’s an OEM tool designed to do exactly that. FORScan can technically upgrade firmware but seems to lag behind on versions and complete module support based on my experience. It’s also harder to figure out whether you really need an update. In FDRS, you just click the sw updates tab and it shows everything you need to update and you mash the run button. You still have to subscribe to another service get workshop and wiring diagrams and lastly FDRS is a bit of a “snitch”. It logs everything you do to Ford backend servers. It  is supposed to perform when replacing a malfunctioning module with a new one. It takes the as-built configuration from the server and writes it onto a new module.

Ford FDRS

If you don’t want to spring for the Rotunda, Cardaq or Mongoose interfaces, you can also use a VXDiag VCX FD. It’s about $200 with the Ford/Mazda license and you can also add licenses for other OEM’s if you want. I updated my 2024 truck this week because it wasn’t getting OTA and had some TSB’s I was dealing with.

It was worth a try to use the upgraded VXDiag VCX FD, especially considering some of the riskier and more expensive modules like APIM use a USB to load and flash the software anyway.

It cannot access to 2006 and older models.

Diagnose Toyota Supra J29 with ISTA and Techstream

How to use Toyota ISTA to diagnose latest Toyota Supra J29 vehicles?

 

Step 1: Download Toyota ISTA from the official Toyota website. You don’t need to sign up or pay for anything.
Step 2: Install Toyota Techstream and activate it.
Step 3: After activation of Techstream, install ISTA. Toyota’s ISTA checks for an activated Techstream install. Due to that, there is no need for additional activation in ISTA.

That’s all you need. If you want to use the psdzdata from the ISTA install for ESYS, type this command into CMD as administrator:
MKLINK /d “C:\Data\psdzdata” “C:\Program Files (x86)\ISTA4J29\PSdZ\psdzdata”

I was able to successfully do flashing using ESYS 3.30.1. I was unable to test coding as I was using a VM and launcher pro won’t activate in a VM.

 

NOTE:

If open ISTA J29 and get a window titled: “Toyota ISTA usage notes” and there’s an “X” to close it. But if close it the entire software closes as well.

How to bypass this message screen or how to go to the ISTA menu?
