FAQs - VCX SE for BMW
Enter keywords for answers:
1. Question: What makes the VCX SE BMW better than the ICOM NEXT?
Answer: 1. The VCX SE is way more affordable compared to the ICOM NEXT. 2. It’s much smaller and easier to carry around. 3. You don’t need different adapters for E series and F/G series cars like you do with the ICOM. 4. The VCX SE uses VX Manager to check the device connection, which is super handy — the ICOM doesn’t have that feature. 5. No need for a DHCP server or router; the VCX SE has that built-in. 6. Also, make sure to install the BMW ICOM driver in the "Diagnostic" tab in VX Manager.
2. Question: Can I add a VAG license to this device?

6. Question: Does the VCX SE use pin 1 (KL15) of the OBD2 signal? My BMW 520d F11 (2011) doesn’t have pin 1. I’m using ISTA+.
Answer: Hi, we checked with our engineers, and they said it’s normal if your car doesn’t have pin 1. Different vehicles can have different factory setups. If pin 1 isn’t there, the BMW might communicate through other pins. What function are you trying to use?

Answer: Hi, the VXDIAG BMW device doesn’t support motorcycles.
12. Question: Hello, I just purchased the device and am waiting for it to ship. I’m using ISTA 4.28. Can you confirm if it’s compatible? Any benefits of using an ENET adapter with my PC?

13. Question: Does it support ISTA+ 4.31.40?
Answer: Hi, if you have the original 4.31 ISTA+, this hardware can support it.
14. Question: Does it come with a license? When does the license expire?
