VXDIAG VCX SE series diagnostic interface can also be used as a J2534 Passthru device for OEM online programming.
How to switch vxdiag vcx se to J2534 passsthru device?
Connect vcx se with laptop via USB
Run VX Manager, Go to Diagnostic Tab- Applications
Delete brand driver in vx manager
For example, if need to use vcx se Benz as MB Xentry Passthru for both diagnostic and coding, delete Benz C6 driver. If you want to use Vxdiag passthru with Mercedes you need to buy a full Mercedes license. Vxdiag passthru license is not a general j2534 license for all brands.
Same procedure goes to other brands
Reinstall vxdiag driver again if need to carry out diagnosis function.
Example:
Ford and Mazda works fine.
vcx se benz is working with Ford FDRS.
test on a 2019 Ford Focus C519E 1.5L sedan
vxdiag vcx nano and vcx plus series can also be used as pass-thru devices.
Reference:
Use VXDIAG VCX NANO on Honda as J2534 Passthru

Here comes the solution of the vxdiag benz C6 (as well as vcx se benz) connection errors.
vx manager can see my device, but the device icon remains unconnected.
Others can solve it by installing the 2021.03 driver. but it still shows error ‘Connect error CAT cannot open caesar.cfg file when trying to install 2021.03 C6 driver.
Delete and reinstall vx manager, still reported ‘Connect device error: ping failed’
WiFi connection no luck either.
Customer’s Solution:
Uninstall VX and vci manager totally
Then install old VX manager version inclusive Daimler Driver
Then reset the vcx se
After this updated the VX manager to new version but without Daimler Driver.
The approach is indeed a method that can be referenced.
Contact our customer service if still not working.
Problem: I have a Vxdiag vcx se with BMW license. serial number V94SE0****. With Ista D it works correctly. Ista P version 3.57.1.003 does not recognize the interface.
Reinstall vx manager 1.8.6 but still no luck.
Is there any process to be carried out so that it recognizes the interface?

Vxdiagshop.com working solution:
ISTA-P 3.57 software version is too old. Actually vxdiag device use ista-p V68.0.800. Try the newer version ISTA-P.
