VXDIAG VCX FD vs Cardaq vs VCM vs Xlink

Here comes the unbiased review of VXDIAG VCX FD from one of vxdiagshop.com's customers.


"I already buy 3 vcx fd for my team and love how it's fast and lightweight easy to carry and handle. Always connect fast without issue. I prefer to use my vcx fd than my cardaq plus 3 , vcmii , xlink , no connection problem much more easy going.


I have 2 other customer already buy vcx fd after I tell us how much I like it. And in a near futur I would like each of my customer have one , I do remotely reprog and assistance and love how they work great via flexihub.


Donet are pretty hard to manage fast and didn't make a lot of test right now , you team told me its slow here in north America but the test I already do I see a server in USA to use donet."

 

VXDIAG vs Autel vs Foxwell for Honda Clarity

Honda Clarity OBD diagnostic tool Autel, Foxwell, or VXDIAG Honda HDS scanner? Here comes the user review:

“I have a Foxwell and Autel diagnostics tools that have gotten me by with what I needed to be done.

HDS is definitely increased functionality vs the Foxwell NT710 Elite or the Autel ITS600 (Pro functions enabled,) which are easier to use.

I got a VXDIAG VCX SE Full from vxdiagshop.com because I could get all brands onto one dedicated laptop (started with PIWIS 3).

It took some tinkering to get it to work right out of the box via updated software and firmware for our Porsche, but immediately paid itself in return for the problem I was diagnosing on that car.

The most helpful so far has been occasionally signing up for Honda’s Tech Info and compiling what I need via PDFCreator (in the 74,xxx mi) that we have on our Clarity:

I do almost all services for our Clarity personally, except warranty/recalls and the first free oil change. I even rotated tires when the tire store started asking me to replace them until I felt they were really worn down. Sunday as I was driving car chimed and said “Service Due”. I suspected correctly it needed a tire rotation, rotated in the driveway and reset.”

Both Autel and HDS will do diagnostic and service function. Autel/Foxwell scanner cannot do programming. VXDIAG will do with Honda online subscription, even key programming.
