You'll find that this device can read your trouble codes for free-but that's just the tip of the iceberg. I would never recommend taking your car to a dealership because they're charging around -100 per hour (if not more) these days.

Instead of wasting time, call around to some independent shops, compare prices, and check their credentials online. Also, make sure they're doing the right diagnostic tests. Personally, I'd rather invest in a VXDIAG.

I once had a mechanic check my car and he found an oxygen sensor fault. So, I replaced the sensor (about $50) but guess what? The problem wasn't fixed. The customer still had to pay for an unnecessary part and the labor for a misdiagnosed issue!

From past experience, I knew that just because the trouble code mentioned the O2 sensor, that didn't necessarily mean it was the real problem. So, I tested the sensor myself-no issues at all. I started suspecting the real culprit was the mass air flow sensor. Tested it, and sure enough, it was faulty. Replaced the part, took the car for a test drive, and boom-problem solved!

I was absolutely thrilled because I did it myself!

I couldn't find the engine coolant temperature sensor (ECT) on my 2014 Nissan, and the temp gauge was all over the place. Kept getting P0117 and P0119 codes. Hooked up my VXDIAG SE, and sure enough ,the sensor was bad! Swapped it out, and everything's back to normal.

As an auto repair shop owner, I recently bought and tested two J2534 Passthru devices: the VXDIAG VCX SE and the Scanmatik 2 Pro, to use with the Xentry Passthru software. Maybe my experience isnt the most objective, but heres my take:

Scanmatik 2 Pro:
The Scanmatik 2 Pro performs pretty well in some areas. It supports diagnostic software like DAS, Xentry, and Vediamo 4, but when it comes to older cars (especially those built before 2005), it doesnt always recognize them fully or sometimes not at all. For truck diagnostics, its not great either, especially with trucks that open through DASScanmatik 2 Pro completely fails there. When using newer versions of Xentry, the Scanmatik 2 Pro doesnt perform well with certain newer Mercedes models (like Xentry Cars 2024.09) and it even has compatibility issues with the SD Connect C4.

VXDIAG VCX SE:
On the other hand, I think the VXDIAG VCX SE is a more versatile device. It supports DoIP technology and the latest versions of Xentry software. Whether youre using Xentry Openshell or Passthru mode, the VXDIAG VCX SE runs smoothly. When diagnosing newer models (like the MB W167 2021), the VXDIAG VCX SE is really reliableit didnt have the login issues that I experienced with Scanmatik 2 Pro. In Passthru mode, the VXDIAG VCX SE worked perfectly, while the Scanmatik 2 Pro didnt work at all, and in some cases, Xentry Cars 2023.12 wouldnt even connect in Passthru mode.

We needed a device for both Volkswagen and Mercedes, and these guys had it in stock. We were happy to have it shipped to my mechanic for installation. Everything went smoothly, and delivery was on time.

Great price and fast delivery!

The Mangoose cable is seriously risky when it comes to reprogramming. It just can't properly program modules or keys. That's exactly why I went with VXDIAG-everything works smoothly. Forget about that useless device, it was just a total waste of my time and money!

I had a suspension fault on my 2006 Range Rover Sport L320, showing error code U0132-87-lost communication with the Ride Level Control Module (RLCM). My VXDIAG VCX nano JLR SDD diagnostic tool picked it up along with a few other related faults. The orange suspension warning light was on, and it was clear the issue needed to be fixed.

Turns out, even if you replace the compressor with the same model, the control module still has to be recalibrated and programmed. No way around it-new compressor means new programming. I used the latest JLR SDD V166 online with the VCX nano J2534 passthru device, and it worked perfectly. The recalibration wasn't expensive with the SDD online subscription, and after the process, all the fault codes were cleared. Suspension is back to normal, and the car drives great again.

After watching some YouTube videos and doing some research, I found out that you need access to MDI2 and GDS2 to reset the car. There's a function to reset the Security HV DTC, and you have to run it to get the car moving. Otherwise, even if everything is fixed, you'll still have shifting issues.

That's when I found the VXDIAG device and tried it, and it worked great!

I'm using the VXDIAG VCX Nano for Volvo, and it works great with VDASH on my 2014 Volvo V60. To get it running, I had to install the Passthru driver in VX Manager and select the VXDIAG-J2534 interface. Once that was set up, diagnostics started smoothly- Yeah..probably because I bought it directly from the official VXDIAG website (vxdiag.com).

Cracking the CEM pin code took a bit longer than I expected, but in the end, it worked!

On top of that, I was also able to scan and diagnose fault codes on a 2018 Volvo S90 without any issues.

I first bought the VCX SE Pro for Toyota, Honda, Ford and some smaller stuff. It worked pretty well, so I ended up purchasing additional licenses for Mercedes, BMW, VW, and more. Honestly, this is one of the best VCI tools out there..price-wise, it's pretty reasonable too.

I also bought VAG CAN Pro and another VAG OBD VCI, but guess what? The VCX SE can replace both of them. It works perfectly with the latest ODIS for VW/Audi Group. This little device can easily replace at least 20 other VCIs.

I haven’t even told you everything yet! I didn‘t have to start with Mercedes because this small but powerful tool does the job just fine-even replacing ICOM. This VCI can save you a ton of money and competes with original devices that cost up to $3,000.

I recently installed a 3'' lift on my truck, upgraded to 285/70/17 tires and new wheels, and had a frustrating month-long experience with my local 4WP shop. After waiting four days just for tire mounting and balancing, I decided to handle everything myself (except alignment and tire mounting).

One major issue was TPMS programming. I asked 4WP to scan my new TPMS sensors so I could program them via Techstream, but they claimed the truck would "learn the sensor IDs automatically"-which I knew was nonsense as a former diesel mechanic. So, like many others, I bought a Mini-VCI cable, thinking it was a simple plug-and-play solution-wrong.

After installing drivers, setting up the VIM, and inputting the TPMS sensor IDs in Techstream, I kept getting an error. I tried different Techstream versions, tweaked various settings (which all worked), and even looked into OBDII pin jumping, but nothing solved the issue. Many people suggested the Mini-VCI cables were hit or miss.

Then, I came across a post recommending the VXDIAG VCX Nano for Toyota. Figuring it was worth a shot, I ordered one from vxdiag.com.

It arrived today, and after installing drivers and selecting "Toyota J2534", things looked promising. Techstream connected instantly, auto-populated my VIN, model code, and vehicle specs, and loaded way faster than the Mini-VCI. Finally, something that actually works!

It is fully compatible with both Xentry Passthru and Xentry OpenShell. The VXDIAG VCX SE Benz is noticeably faster than the J2534 devices I used before. Tested it on a W212 with Xentry Passthru, and it had no issues reading all modules. The health scan was super thorough, and the DTC code interpretation was way more accurate than third-party tools like AUTEL-none of those weird, misleading error codes.

The A/C system control is also more detailed. Tried the seven-way airflow test, and I could adjust legroom and body zones separately-something my previous tool couldn't do. Plus, it doesn't have that annoying AUTEL issue where the fresh air flap automatically closes after 30 minutes. So, the diagnostics are solid, and the MB fault codes are spot on-unlike generic scanners that sometimes misinterpret the data.

Used ODIS to program the immobilizer on a 2018 VW Golf 7. The device was VCX SE 6154, running ODIS 9.1.0, and it required an ODIS online account (which you have to get yourself). VCX SE 6154 also supports ODIS 11, but I used ODIS 9.1.0, and it worked just fine.

For coding, USB connection is the way to go..more stable, fewer issues. Also, make sure the battery stays above 13V while flashing to avoid problems.

If you have an ODIS online account, this tool can handle everything you need!

I heard the VXDIAG VCX FD Ford J2534 works great, so I tested it with Ford FDRS and a two-day online subscription. Everything went smoothly.

First, you need to install VX Manager and make sure to set it as a J2534 pass-thru device, NOT Ford VCMII, or FDRS won't recognize it.

Then, I flashed all my modules, including GWM and IPMA. The tool itself works fine, but setup is key. If you don't configure it correctly, you'll run into issues.

One super important thing-make sure you have a stable battery charger connected while flashing. The IPMA update takes nearly 3 hours, and if the battery voltage drops, the process could fail.

Funny thing, FDRS actually detected that I was using a VirtualBox VM, which was pretty impressive. But no big deal-I switched to a regular Windows 10 install, installed the VXDIAG drivers, and everything worked perfectly.

For GWM updates, turn ignition OFF, open and close the driver's door, don't remove the flash drive, wait 10 minutes, then turn ignition ON, wait for the SYNC update confirmation, and only then remove the flash drive. Also, you must update GWM before APIM, or it won't work.

The tool does exactly what it's supposed to do, no issues at all!

I have been using the VXDIAG SE diagnostic tool with licenses for Ford, Mazda, Honda, and JLR, and I'd like to share my experience, especially regarding module programming and reprogramming for Ford and Mazda.

At first, I encountered quite a few issues when using Ford/Mazda IDS for programming, but after some trial and error, I finally got it to work properly. This was also the main reason I purchased this device-I wasn't too concerned about the diagnostic functions; I just needed it for module programming and reprogramming.

As for Honda and JLR, I saw that I could get both licenses for just a little extra cost, so I decided to add them. However, to be honest, I haven't tested Honda and JLR yet.

So far, I have tested the following functions and recorded my results:

2005 Ford Five Hundred (3.0L) - Ford IDS

GEM module reprogramming - SUCCESS
2008 Mazda 3 (2.0L) - Mazda IDS

PCM module reprogramming - SUCCESS
2007 Ford Expedition (5.4L) - Ford IDS

DSCM module installation (PMI) - SUCCESS
LTM (Liftgate/Trunk Module) reprogramming - SUCCESS
I highly recommend the VXDIAG official website.it's a worthwhile investment.
