VXDIAG JLR SDD 164 Software Out Of Date Solution

Problem:
Had problems with VXDIAG VCX SE  JLR SDD V164 software.

when download files its show “it is essential that the software status is updated to the latest version prior to performing a vehicle module software download”
and after that program exit to main page recommendation.

I tired to reinstall and 2 more laptops error same.

Some others may had the same problem on SDD 164 or 159, reinstall windows and reinstall sdd 164 but it still doesn’t work.

164 is doing the same thing whether it’s on or offline.

 

 

Solution:

1.

Official solution is to use patch. It will work with all versions.

In SDD interface, press Continue

Go to Parameter tab->Manual patch file update

Input ‘GCM_SDD_ICA’ and press OK

Install manual patch successfully.

If you cannot see this manual patch, make sure your WIFI connection is activated in SDD settings. You need to go into the SDD settings in the Utility tab. Then the networking tab. Should be the top options in the Utility tab. There you can activate your wifi connection that allows SDD to access the WIFI.

 

2.

Here is the customer solution:

So the solution that worked is to set the date and to 2020 after that there was no pop up for “The software status file is out of date”. Modules software files download as usual worked on 2 cars today so far it is working with setting the data and time to few years back.

 

Open SDD to “continue” then change the year to 2020 and continue using normally.

VXDIAG JLR SDD 165 No Network Connection Icon?

Recently some people have had problems with JLR SDD V164 and V165.

 

Problem 1:

After the update to SDD v165 there is no longer connection to the server. Look at the attached .jpg. Green on 164, but red on 165.

when going from V164 to V165. The icon is always red even if the internet connection tells me it is correct!

Problem 2: 

JLR SDD v165 installs fine and log’s in but cannot get online to download any asbuilt or calibration files using the current patches available.
This is what shows when trying to activate the network and what shows under network status.

Here is the clue.

As per Topix , JLR as of 01-Sep-2024 changed the server security so no versions of SDD prior to 165.00 will download calibration files. They said Icon is not criteria for connectivity with server. You can check connectivity from setting.

But SDD v165 closed online acces for the all known patch.  They changed everything, patch does not work on v165.
They closed online access to all offline versions of SDD, they cut off all offline access. better have the calibration files somewhere.

They also do a trick with kvms. So after a flash they delete the file from vbf so you need to download it online each time. Better make the vbf files existing readonly.
