VXDIAG VCX NANO Techstream cleared 2019 Rx350 EPB malfunction
I am driving a 4th generation Lexus 2019 Rx350. My EPB malfunctioned after trying to replace the rear brake pads myself. I am looking for a good Techstream cable to reset EPB.
I read a lot of reviews, I got a VXDIAG VCX NANO for TOYOTATIS Techstream fromvxdiagshop.com$95+tax today. It is working perfectly. Windows 10 and Techstream work perfectly fine on my car. I installed the drivers and software onto a newer laptop with new drivers and their provided 15 series software and all features including the “customize” function worked flawlessly. I have successfully cleared the electronic parking brake malfunction. It’s perfect. The EPB is working now.
I also used it for programming a new key fob of my wife’s 2013 RX and to disable auto steering wheel tilting for another 2017 RX with no issue.
How to Solve VXDIAG VX Manager Offline Problem on VMware?
In theprevious postwe provide the solution tovxdiag vx manageroffline cannot renew license problem on real host machine. Here we share a customer solution on real/VMware machine if it is still not working by changing DNS to 8.8.8.8.
I think by “Offline” it means “unable to reach vxdiag website(s) on the
internet”. Try this:
1. On same pc (real or virtual) where you are running VX
Manager, open a web-browser, either GoogleChrome and/or IE.
2. In the
browser, verify you are actually on internet. One way is to search for “news”
and see if it brings up today’s news.
3. If not on internet at all, run the
internet troubleshooter (in settings on windows), and/or somehow get on the
internet. Maybe re-install VMware tools. Also verify time and date are correct.
I use “Mange: Virtual Machine Settings”: Options: VMware Tools: (enable)
“Synchronize guest time with host” (gives guest correct system time even if
guest not on internet).
4. Once on the internet, see if you open each of
these websites:
A: VXDIAG https://www.vxdiag.net
B: http://www.vxdiag.net/ (http not https) http://www.vxdiag.net
C: http://www.vxdiag.net/managecenter/download/vxdiag.zip
Note that A, being https, will have lock/secure icon by URL and if you cannot
reach A, then that website might be blocked by your DNS server as some files
there seem to contain malware. The malware is why the VXDIAG have you change DNS
server to 8.8.8.8, but you should then reboot and also do ipconfig /flushdns
like so:
Right click on the start menu and choose either Command Prompt
(Admin) or PowerShell (Admin) from the menu.
Type in the commandipconfig /flushdns
If 8.8.8.8 does not help, try setting primary and secondary DNS servers to 209.244.0.3 and 209.244.0.4 (works for me). Or take laptop to various public wifi spots until you find one that lets you reach A, B, and C.
Once you reach A, then you hopefully can also reach B and/or C. Note B and C, being just http (not https), will have “Not secure” icon, but ignore any warnings. C should offer to download vxdiag.zip file. On my win10-64 vm, with all updates and newest chrome, I am still able to download the vxdiag.zip file without problem. If you cannot download it in chrome, try internet explorer or edge, etc. If one browser allows download, temporarily set that as your default browser. For more info google “block some HTTP file downloads starting with Chrome 83” (or similar http file download topics).
WARNING: When all steps below are done, be sure to (re)set your default browser to Google Chrome, as the GM Techline folks warned me only Chrome works for TechLine Connect! (I did all steps below with Chrome as my default browser, but YMMV). I think the ability to download from http (not just https) websites is needed by VXManager to do firmware upgrade(s), Update license(s), etc, and if http downloads are somehow blocked, it gives you “offline” error. (Eventually I would think the VXDIAG folks would make everything available on https URL instead of just http.)
I would think once you can reach A, B, and C then VXmanager should no longer
display “Offline” error, and be able to do firmware updates. Use newest
VXmanager as of today 2022-04-02 is VX Manager 1.8.6.1224 (2021-12-24) in the
69.4meg vxdiag.zip file. Then repeat the firmware
update until it completes without error and you have newest firmware, which is
v1.9.0.0 as of today per update history at http://www.vxdiag.net/managecenter/fws/update.txt Repeat it
even if it says you already have v1.9.0.0 just to be sure. I would think the
licenses should all update as well… all 4 of my licenses say 203012-30 (8 years
from now). Good luck, and patience. Perseverance furthers.)
P.S. As others
found out, it may be best to try from scratch with new vmware virtual
machine.’

Does VXDIAG Benz C6 Xentry Passthru Have DTS Monaco 9.02?
As titled, we have customer asking do we have the DTS Monaco 9.02 (Softing 9.02) on xentry passthru. Yes, the vxdiag benz c6 xentry passthru does have free 9.02. But we don’t provide activation nor certificate.
MBcoding does provide an activation service. $50 per activation.
What’s new in DTS Monaco 9.02?
Diagnostic Tool Set
(Softing DTS 9) has new functionalities enable even faster and more
cost-efficient diagnostic development.
The highlights of the new 9.02 generation include, in particular, remote diagnostic support in the engineering network (remote diagnostics) and the display and recording of Ethernet communication (DoIP, Diagnostics over Internet Protocol). New functions in the area of OTX support, based on the latest standard, enable a perceptible increase in the speed of work thanks to automation and the ability to precisely solve individual problems with self-generated user interfaces. The integration of function-oriented diagnostics with the Smart Diagnostic Engine (Softing SDE) has now already made the leap to the next generation of “diagnostic systems”.
Remote Diagnostics in the Engineering Network
the engineer can connect up remotely, carry out his/her own tests and correct any problems directly (remote software update) so that the actual tests in hand can be continued. This can save a lot of time and money, especially in globally operating teams, as travel can be avoided and expensive test resources shared.
Does DTS 9.02 work on W206?
ZenZefi certificates are
needed.
Does DTS 9.02 work on W223?
For w223 it needs ZenZefi
certificate.
This project files works partially not all ecus are able to be
coded in w223 and w206 cars.
The zenzefi certificates are around 10
certificates as of now.
Xentry diagnostic still doesn’t work if you are
having that 10 zenzefi certificates also still it doesn’t work.
You need for
every single ecu separate certificates for Diagnostic and separate for coding.
And there are 6 different Types of certificates. After sales Basic,
Aftersaleaenhanced, Development, Development Enhanced, Production and
Suppliers.
Do I need to remote DTS Monaco 8.13/8.16 if install 9.02?
No, you can have both DTS 8 and 9 on the same laptop.
Does DTS Monaco 9.02 work without activation/certificate?
No, without working zenzfei it’s actually less useful than DTS8.
and works on SMR only but not CBF.
Full DTS have support for
cbf. The i9.02 is incomplete version.
DTS 8.16 works perfectly with all chassis. Online and Offline.
8.16 works with 223 and 297, it has been working for a ling time, but you need online account.
You need to register and get account to use 9.02! Kline, can and doip protocols are supported. Not like the bad and first test dts from softing wich is viral on internet. Better use 8.16.
How to use VXDIAG VCX SE as PCMFlash Passthru?
As we all know,vxdiag vcx seis a good passthru j2534 device. Possible to use it with pcmflash?
MBCoding has tested thevxdiag vcx se benz(as well as other vcx se series) as a good pcmflash passthru j2534 device.
Here is the demo example on how to flash the Mercedes S500 W221 with M273 engine ECU ME97 using PCM Flasher and vxdiag vcx se j2534. So you can make a chip tuning yourself, Stage 1, Euro2.
Make sure you set the power supply to 13.5V.

GM Volt Gen2 Android Auto Update by VXDIAG VCX NANO and SPS
My car is a generation 2 GM Volt year 2017 but was made early 2016. I got thevxdiag vcx nano gm scannerand SPS2 subscription ($40 for two years per VIN unlimited) last night, rushed the Android auto update in late night, haven’t had a chance to look around much at the software.
it can update gen2 or any GM car, but only with the latest software available. Android auto is not available for gen1.
My Volt Gen2 had apple car play, but no Android auto. It’s software version was definitely old. I’m not sure about the new apps, I’ll investigate. This only gives me access to updates GM as specifically released for this module.
It went through the sps software. To update my infotainment system (human machine interface) I actually had to download some software onto a USB, and uploaded that into the system. Then had to do a separate overall update to it.
I select which module I want to update, and it pulls from GM database the files. If there is an update to that module that GM has released, then you can access it. I can’t update say my gen two infotainment system with an entirely different modules software, say a Corvette infotainment system, if that makes sense. At least, that’s my understanding.
Still testing the device. I’m curious what else you can do with it besides scanning, live data, component actuations.
