VXDIAG VCX NANO Volvo 2021 Reviews

 

Today, I’d like to share some reviews on the VXDIAG VCX NANO for Volvo.

 

First of of, let’s check some VXDIAG VOLVO reviews.

 

Review 1:

Great device for connecting to VIDA to diagnose my Volvo. Only concern is in the ad it says it compatible with Windows 10. Which VIDA is not. Was able to install VIDA via bootable USB. Other than this inherent issue, nothing to do with this device. Works great. Connects everytime and installed via their software. Do recommend, much more cost effective option and delivers faster than a DICE unit.

 

Review 2:

The disc they provided doesn’t seem to work well but with some googling you’ll find a pre-setup VM or a easy installer that lets you install this on windows 10. Some people complaining about it not being detected. You need the drivers. Go and download VX Manager. It works like a charm and has already saved me a tone of money with diagnostics.

 

Review 3:

It’s great. Just be wary that while this will allow you dealer level access to your Volvo, little to no documentation is provided on how to get it going. You need to be computer literate and have great Google skills to get this working. It probably took me a solid 4 hours to get a laptop configured properly, but once I got it working it’s been fantastic.

Review 4:

I recently bought a VXDIAG VCX NANO device which can be used with Volvo’s VIDA software to communicate with Volvos from the early 2000s up to 2014 or so.

The device is claimed to be compatible with Volvo’s DICE hardware.

I chose to buy one of these rather than a DICE or DICE clone because these are a bit cheaper than DICE clones, and I have read that many people have had problems with faulty DICE clones.

I had to wait two months to receive the device from China, but this is fairly typical of deliveries during COVID-19 times.

I first tried to use it with a VIDA installation I had already done using a virtual machine image. It didn’t work, I just kept getting an error message: “ERROR: SDK GetProcAddress!”

Eventually, I decided to actually follow instructions and installed VIDA 2014D from the installation DVD that came with the device. It worked first go.

I later tried again to get it working on the VM but without success. I suspect the problem may be due to the VM running Windows 10 and being 64-bit. The recommendation for VIDA is Windows 7 Professional 32-bit.

Using VIDA I can connect to the car and read its details, fault codes and live data. I can also use the activate feature to turn on and off various systems for testing.

I have not tried any programming.

I also used the device with VDASH2 and it also works fine for reading information and fault codes. I have not tried any programming with VDASH2 either.

So aside from not being able to comment on programming, I can recommend the VX NANO as a cheaper alternative to a DICE clone. Just follow the instructions and know that it may not work on a VM.

VXDIAG VCX NANO Volvo VIDA Tested on S40 2005

Since this vxdiag vcx nano volvo scanner is practically new and there is little information about it, I offer this text for review.  I am driving a Volvo S40 II year 2005.

We all know that there is an original Volvo vida dice. We also know that there is a Chinese copy of the above original (the price is around 5 times less, but the functionality is not complete). And now a fresh one appeared: the functionality (as they promise) is more than a replica, and the price is cheaper than a DiCE copy - I took it for the test. I ordered it on a well-known site www.vxdiagshop.com... here it is.

To work with him, you need to install Vida software (There are many places where she is - 2014d, there is no point in talking about her, and so much has been written).
So we installed Vida 2014D, tried to turn it on, let's move on.
To work with vxdiag volvo, you need a special software: vx manager (program), it is free, it weighs a penny and is easy to download on vxdiag.net official website.  There at the bottom of the VX Manager
The current version is V1.6. 2 Build 0902
The latest build date is 2019.09.02 and from the right - download.
Always update the driver to latest version.
Download, unpack, launch. (The antivirus will appear when downloading, but everything is fine.). We connect the device.
Open the program:

This is what the case looks like. Follow the arrows.

We look at the check marks on the side of the icons.  Passthru and Volvo vida driver are required to be installed.

Downloading.

After all that has been done, if you want, you can climb up and down the program, but in fact, at this stage, we don't need it, and we don't need it anymore. We close everything, turn off the laptop.
Next, go to the car, turn on the computer, connect the vcx nano interface to the car, turn on Volvo Vida software (as usual), but in the configuration we select another tool !:

Everything works.
In theory, the device is more convenient than the original or its Chinese copy (but there is anyone else), but in terms of functionality it is no worse than a Chinese copy 100%! When testing the vxdiag device, I turned on (activated) the window closer - everything worked out. Well, I carried out diagnostics with erasing errors. No bugs or glitches were noticed. I will continue the test at the end of the week and try to update the review, maybe I am tormented by doubts that there is a very interesting function for this device, but more on that later.
