Question:
I plan to get the VXDIAG VCX DoIP Multi Diagnostic Tool full scanner because it allows me to scan cars. Does it support heavy-duty truck protocols like J1939?
Answer:
It works fine with regular cars and also has DOIP functionality.
VCX DoIP supports following passenger car protocols.
No possible to use this with heavy duty. They used to have a VCX for trucks. Now it is discontinued.
The VCX DoIP now only works for cars.
Problem:
VXDIAG VCX DoIP VX Manager keeps showing this error: “VX Manager has an internal error and the program has exited”.
Uninstall vx manager and reinstall it again, still the same error.
How to fix it?
Solution:
vxdiagshop.com engineer did a Teamviewer check and found that his computer has been infected by a virus.
Have to change operating system or use another laptop.
Problem:
When running 2023.12 xentry software for VXDIAG VCX SE Benz scanner, it reported an error ‘No Access Authorization Code’.
How to fix it?
Solution:
1. Run the “FIX” program on the desktop and open Xentry offline (car) software.
2. If not working, disable security boot in BIOS setting same as 2024 xentry versions. Then try again.

Customer problem:
Bought 2 VXDIAG VCX SE Benz unit. One connects with the laptop well and vx manager detected the device. Another one was not detected by vx manager and the communication lights did not turn on. Any solution?
Solution:
You have to insert USB cable to the VCX SE unit very tightly. If fully insert the cable into VCX SE unit, the communication light till not turn on, there is something wrong with the device. It may need a factory repair.
