Mazda MDARS Not Detect VXDIAG VCX Nano Solution

Problem:

How to set up Mazda MDars and VXDIAG VCX Nano Mazda scanner and make it work together? I got MDars software installed and subscription activated, VCX software installed, but it does not recognize VCX Nano.

Possible solution:

To use MDARS with vcx nano, you need to delete IDS vci driver, install Passthru driver in Vx Manager.

Select device as Passthru instead of vxdiag.

VXDIAG VCX FD for Ford/Mazda is recommended, because the VCX NANO does not support CAN FD protocol. It may not connect with the latest models even if you have an MDARS subscription.

MDARS is used on Mazda 7th generation vehicles starting with the following all new models:

2025- CX-70

2023- CX-50

2021- CX-5

2024-CX90

2022-2023 MX-30

2020- CX-30

2024- MX-5

2021-2023 CX-9

2019- Mazda3
