How to Change GM PSCM VIN by VXDIAG and DPS?

VXDIAG VCX NANO GM latest software contains free DPS 4.52 software. You can change the VIN number in the power steering controller with the DPS.

You can do this with DPS. If it’s a new/virginized controller – can be done with SPS2 too.

 

NOTE: DPS is just a TOOL. You won’t achieve anything without appropriate RESOURCES (files). We don’t provide calibration files, need to find files by yourself.

 

Here is an example of changing PSCM VIN on a Chevrolet Orlando 2015 using DPS.

Run GDS2, Diagnostics
Select K43 Power Steering Control Module
Read DTC
It displays fault code C0565 VIN not plausible.

Go back to GDS2, select Identification information
Check the VIN number
It is different from the original VIN

Go back to Diagnostics, Copy VIN

Run DPS software
Select Cal
Upload VIN change calibration file

Get Controller Info
Copy VIN here

Press Program
Enter programming mode
Program successfully

Go back to GDS2 Identification Information
You can see the VIN number has changed.

Chevy Bolt Radio Module Programming with VXDIAG GM SPS2

User review on Chevy Bolt Radio Module Programming using VXDIAG VCX NANO GM and SPS2.
“It is a Chevy Bolt. The infotainment system not functioning. The screen worked but it would always freeze at the “Bolt EV” logo.

I took it to the dealer they told that the radio module was bad and needed to be replaced. The quote was for $2400.

That seemed high so I looked for alternatives. I found a supposedly new radio module on eBay for $85 so I decided to fix it myself. Although the radio module lives behind the glovebox, it can only be removed upward, requiring the entire dashboard to be removed. With the help of the GM service manual, I tackled the job and eventually got the radio module replaced. The system now works but it seems like there is some radio module specific programming or updating that needs to be done. The screen now has buttons to control heated seats, an option my car does not have, and when I plug my phone into the USB, it will treat it as an iPod but it won’t activate CarPlay. It seems like my options are to get a GDS2 adapter and attempt the programming myself or pay the dealer more money to do it for me.

To finish the story, I ended up purchasing a VXDIAG VCX Nano GM scanner and paid $45 for a two year subscription for my VIN so I can apply updates myself. The process, especially with software and drivers for the VCX Nano, is not for the faint of heart but I eventually got the computer connected to the car and got an update applied to the radio module. Everything is working as it should now and I didn’t have to give the dealer any more money!

Total breakdown:
$300 to dealer to evaluate the problem and tell me the radio module was bad
$85 for a replacement radio module from eBay. Listing said it was new but I’m pretty sure it had been in a car previously. There were preset radio stations. The radio module is not VIN locked.
$109 for the VXDIAG VCX Nano from vxdiagshop.com.
$45 for the AC Delco subscription for my VIN

Cheapest quote from dealer, with GM Assistance, was $1623.90 including the $300 evaluation fee.
I count it up as a win!”

VXDIAG Tech2win No Connection on Surface Pro Win10?

Problem:

I tried to install vxdiag vcx nano gm software on three of my Surface Pro 2017 models (Windows 10 Pro 32bit) Everything would work except the Tech2win software. CANDI not connected. Not matter what I tried. When launching Tech2 the popup to choose connection to the MDI wasn’t appearing. I looked everywhere for the usb drivers with no luck.

Possible reason and solution:

The issue with the Surface is they all have a usb-c port…and only 1 port and the tech2win software when it loads it also loads a usb driver.

The driver with the tech2win software is not compatible with the surface drivers. Some users have even tried to load different drivers in the surface in the usb port with no luck. But the surface will load and run GDS without issue. It even see’s the vcx nano in the gds software.

 

Some very old software like Tech2Win also has to be happy with the emulated serial port, the Windows version must allow proper control of the emulated hardware to the old program, etc. A lot of little factors that can make these things painful. Part of the reason you will still keep an older laptop that has a real serial port (and runs Windows 7, tech2win prefer 32bit).

 

 

User report:

I got it to work with another laptop running Windows 10 Pro.
I think the problem is that the Surface Pro runs a usb 3.0 port and the other laptop has a 2.0 port. So if you only have a 3.0 port you may run into issues. A possible workaround would be a usb port splitter that supports usb 2.0.
