VXDIAG VCX NANO, VCX SE, VCX Plus, VCX DoIP multi diagnostic tool software and hardware support from vxdiagshop.com
Problem:
The VXDIAG VCX SE Subaru SSMIII software failed to communicate with a 2006 Forester, displaying the error: "Communication initialization error occurred."
Solution:
After a TeamViewer diagnostic session, an engineer from Vxdiagshop.com discovered that the issue was caused by a virus infection on the user's computer system.
Feedback:
Switching to a different laptop resolved the issue, and the software now works perfectly.
Here comes the problem:
I’ve got a VXDIAG VCX SE Subaru scanner and I’m attempting to use SSM3 for key registration with the immo, but it’s asking for a Security ID. I believe this is a 5-digit code that Subaru dealerships typically provide.
The snag I’m facing is that my car is from the USA, and I’m currently in Canada. I’ve visited a few dealerships here, but they won’t give me the code, citing their inability to access codes for American cars.
Is there anyone out there who could assist me in obtaining the 5-digit security code for a 2008 Subaru Outback XT? This is the only piece missing for me to program these keys.
Most of tools either pulls the PIN from the car VIA OBDII or bypass the PIN. But SSM3 requires 5-digit security code to access.
The only way is to go to dealership and pay a fee to get your codes.
User report:
Got the code from dealer. I was successful with the VCX SE by Vxdiag.
Here are some useful tips to run VXDIAG Subaru SSM4 scanner software.
If run SSM4 desktop software after installing software, it will give you the error “Product Password does not match”.
If you press OK, it will ask you to enter an activation password to proceed.
The first time using the software required activating SSM4 through the keygen.
Run SUBARUID keygen on the desktop, copy and paste Product ID and press OK to activate SSM4.
Software will automatically launch.
Next time when you run software, don’t run SSM4 from Subaru.exe patch on desktop. It will ask to activate software every time.
Run Subaru Select Monitor 4 (SSM4) software on the desktop directly.
Don’t need to run SSM3 software. Run SSM4 it will auto-switch to SSM3 for older Subaru models.
FreeSSM is a free and easy to use diagnostic and adjustment tool for SUBARU vehicles. It provides access to the engine and transmission control units of the models Legacy/Liberty, Outback, Baja, Impreza, Forester and Tribeca (not before MY1999). 1.2.5 version is the latest. Possible to use the FREESSM software with VXDIAG VCX SE?
The answer is NO. The best cable for FreeSSM is the cheap $10-$20 VAG-COM KKL 409.1 OBD2 USB cable. It is a cheap cable with FTDI chip.
VXDIAG VCX SE does not work with the FreeSSM software. VCX SE only works with SSM3 and SSM4 software. vag-com is not going to work SSM3/SSM4 software. SSM requires J2534 standard compliant adapter. vxdiag is j2523 compliant – vxdiag can be used instead of openport cable. Vxdiag vcx se Subaru works well with ssm3 and ssm4 the vcx se also has a wired cable you can use.
Check: FreeSSM vs SSM3
Neither FreeSSM nor Romraider will connect to the modules in a 2021 Subarus. only some earlier models are supported.
So you have better keep both VXDIAG SSM3/SSM4 and FreeSSM.
