VXDIAG VCX SE BMW "A Fault Occurred on Execution"?
Problem:
I cannot connect my BMW 750il 2010 using the vxdiag vcx se BMW scanner. I have ISTA/D and E-sys to diagnostic car but no one works.
From VXdiag website I downloaded VX Manager.
Solution:
To diagnose BMW F series models or use engineering software E-sys, you need to enable DoIP switch.
In VX Manager, press "DoIP Switch"-> BMW DoIP type-> DoIP ON
*You need to turn off windows firewall. Sometimes this wouldn't allow doip to start reading.
VXDIAG VCX SE vs C3 vs C4 Review in June 2023
Here comes the unbiased review of VXDIAG VCX SE Benz DoIP scanner on June 27th, 2023.
"I can recommend is the VXDIAG VCX SE for BENZ which also supports DOIP. I have been using this now for a while and it is really useful as it also works in C6 mode. That makes it useful for DTS Monaco to work with CBF and SMR-D files.
VXDIAG works perfect with Xentry XDOS (VXDIAG works in C6 mode for XDOS and in J2534 mode for Passthru) for cars after 2005-2006. I have one and use it regularly with Xentry and DTS for CBF and SMR-D. Also have the C3 and the C4. I prefer to use the VXDIAG above the C4… why? It just works! No boot time, no bulky interface and no annoying long cables.
You buy the VXDIAG SE for Benz only once and you renew the LICENSE for FREE at least every 6 months via the VXManager.
Never paid anything ever after the purchase.. so the "subscription service" part is totally not applicable.
I'm very happy with this device. I also have several C3 and 1x SdConnect, but
I always grab the VXDIAG for recent models because:
– No boot
time
– Works good via WiFi connection in C6 mode
– Small size, easy to fit
in the bag
– No bulky and stiff cables to carry around
– One interface to
work with Xentry & DTS in CBF and SMR-D
ONLY if you need to diagnose older cars before 2006, I recommend the C3 (use Xentry till 2014) or SDConnect as VXDIAG will not read all modules in the car.
VXDIAG VCX SE J2534 vs CarDaq Plus 3
Question:
Currently looking at the VXDIAG VCX SE or MULTI Tool for all brands including laptop - Have looked at the cardaq but don't know what to choose?
Here is the clue.
CarDag doesn't emulate original VCIs as VXDIAG does. VXDIAG emulates OEM VCIs - also supports J2534 like cardaq.
For example, Cardag cannot work with Ford IDS, only FJDS -FDRS. VXDIAG works with all IDS, Forscan, FJDS, FDRS.
CarDag cannot be replaced for a VCX SE or C6 VCI used in XDOS either. CarDag only works with xentry passthru version. With the Passthru and XPT devices you cannot work a priori on K lines, therefore older vehicles that use them will not be covered. VXDIAG works with both XDOS and Xentry Passthru.
CarDag device can be used as a simple Passthru device, it is not a 1:1 replacement for OEM VCI.
VXDIAG VCI will emulate following software
Toyota Techstream
Honda HDS
Benz Xentry
BMW ISTA
Subaru SSM3/SSM4
JLR SDD Pathfinder
Porsche PIWIS II/PIWIS III
Ford/Mazda IDS
Renault Clip
Volvo VIDA
GM GDS2/Tech2win
VAG ODIS
Vxdiagshop.com has software loaded to a laptop ready to go. We have a decent T440p with an i7 processor and 8GB ram, you could purchase an SSD and then upgrade the ram when you get it.
VXDIAG VCX SE Full with 2TB HDD Preloaded on T440P laptop
VXDIAG Multi Tool VCI with 2TB Full Brand HDD Preloaded on T440P laptop
VXDIAG VCX SE/Multi VCI also can be used as J2534 passthru for Hyundai/Kia J2534, Techstream official, FDRS, FJDS, Techline Connect SPS2, pcmflash, bitbox, alexflasher, gromcalc and much more.
Cardag Plus 3
Cardag Plus 3, openport 2.o, scanmatik 2 pro, Autel maxiFlash and Bosch MDI they are pretty much the same. Only that the Cardaq supports passthru-2 and DOIP and it's approved by all OEMs, but if you're on a budget you can get a good quality GM MDI clone (there's even a Bosch firmware that you can put on it) and that works fine for most applications.
