I got the VXDiag to use IDS for programming a remote for my 2017 Ford Explorer PIU. My browser and antivirus both flagged the software. I ended up using a virtual machine on my laptop in order to use it. It works, for what it's worth.
This is the link for the device: https://www.vxdiagshop.com/wholesale/vxdiag-vcx-nano-for-ford-mazda-2-in-1.html
My local dealership wanted to charge $200 to program and ended up saying they couldn't program it because these cars don't have PATS. So it was my only option for programming the key short of jumping around to a bunch of dealerships and wasting lots of time/money.
Also for Forscan, you do not need to purchase a license. You can keep using the free trial and requesting a trial again once it expires again. Even with the same information/email.
Getting it programmed at Ford is hit on miss. I tried to have them program my keyfob before I found the device. They were going to charge about $180 with the keyfob I included. They weren't able to figure it out, so ended up not charging me.
But seriously use it cautiously if you're going to use it.
Does vxdiag scanner works as j2534 passthru for Mitsubishi MUT III diagnostic software?
VXDIAG does not have license for Mitsubishi. Some tested ok as j2534 passthru device. Some don't. Need luck.
Here is the MUT-3 driver for J2534 device. Free to test by your side. You are at your risk.
You need to copy the driver folder of vxdiag, open regedit navigate to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\PassThruSupport.04.04 and export the folder vxdiag to your desktop, add any name when ask you.
After remove the vxdiag software. Copy the drivers folder at the same location it was before. And click the reg file from the desktop that you save before.
This way you will have your vxdiag drivers installed without the vxdiag software to control your lisense. vxdiag (for example vcx nano toyota) will work, nothing will change there, and try again with mut-3. if dll files from driver are not locked too it will work.
edit: the drivers folder you need to copy before remove vxdiag soft is here: C:\ProgramData\VCX\Apps\PASSTHRU\
open the folder in programdata\vcx\app\and check if you have toyota folder and save it to desktop, remove vxdiag. and download the ready drivers and reg above.
Run the reg file and try mut-3.

VXDIAG Toyota Device Type Selection
Xhorse MVCI Pro Toyota device type selection
Xhorse MVCI Pro is similar to MINI VCI cable, it will read DTC, erase DTC, read datastream, but it cannot program TPMS sensors. It cannot be used as J2534 passthru device to program module.
VXDIAG vcx nano toyota techstream does program TPMS. Tested by many.
