Here comes an honest review on VXDIAG VCX SE Benz scanner from one of vxdiagshop.com’s customers.
“I recently received a package I’d been waiting for: the VXDIAG VCX SE diagnostic tool, specifically aimed at Mercedes Actros trucks. Let’s dive into the unboxing and my initial experience getting it up and running.
The unit itself is a solid device. But my journey started with a small hiccup. Interestingly, I initially had a significant issue with the device drawing too much power.
To work around this, I found a simple fix: the device operates perfectly well on a 12V power source. So, I decided to use this handy little gadget (the power adapter) to get it going. A major plus of this tool is that it also supports DOIP (Diagnostics over Internet Protocol), which is essential for working with newer vehicles. From what I’ve seen, it seems to be very capable for modern trucks.
The package includes a quality cable, and the main unit feels well-built. The first step was to get it communicating with the software I already had installed on my computer. The setup process was surprisingly quick and smooth. It connected via Wi-Fi without any issues, and I soon saw the icon in the corner of my screen indicating it was ready to go.
I’ve already tested it with both the XENTRY Truck and XENTRY Cars software. It works in what’s known as the “OpenShell” mode. While I don’t have the full, official program to test every function, the OpenShell mode is working flawlessly for me.
I successfully connected to a Mercedes Actros, and this was actually my second time running the software. I’m happy to report that everything works stably and excellently, even on a 24V system, which is standard for many heavy-duty trucks.
Initial Verdict:
So far, the VXDIAG VCX SE is proving to be a stable and effective diagnostic solution for the Mercedes Actros 2009-. After a minor initial power issue that was easily resolved, the device connected quickly and has been performing reliably with the necessary software. It’s a promising tool for anyone needing professional-level diagnostics for these trucks.”
It’s a 2014 GM Volt with fault code P0AFA. Car turns on but will not move, after a failed charge and ‘unable to charge’ message. How to solve this problem and clear fault code? Use the VXDIAG method with a laptop or Xtool D7S to clear the fault code. Many users say the xtool D7S can clear this code.
Here is the clue:
Xtool D7S or D8/D9 indead will clear the P0AFA code. Autel MaxiSys scanners also capable.
Meth path:
HPCM2 module > Special Functions> Reset Functions>Hybrid/EV Battery Contactor Open Reasons Reset> Reset.
The tool will walk you through the process; there is a point where you need to shut off the ignition, open and close the drivers door and then wait a few minutes for the modules to go to sleep.
One of our customers used the Xtool d7s to clear the codes, and the car totally shut down, had to buy and install a new 12 volt battery. Do not recommend ‘Clear all DTC’s’.
Gettng VXDiag vcx nano gm adapter with 2 CAN buses support and need software (GDS2) is not that hard as you think. And it’s way cheaper, than buying a dedicated scanner, i.e Xtool D7S.
Read how to clear P0AFA fault code with VXDIAG GDS2:
Got the SERVICE HIGH VOLTAGE CHARGING SYSTEM (aka SHVCS) in 2014 GM Volt; need to update the HPMC2 & BECM software.
Both vxdiag vcx nano gm and Topdon Rlink J2534 will accomplish the task. But which is better in clearing the SHVCS error?
Here comes the user review:
Both devices are compatible with GDS2, Tech2win and DPS software. The TopDon Rlink J2534 is a lot more expensive and doesn’t come with any car-interface software (eg, GDS2) (which isn’t needed for the reprogramming but means you’d have to pay a lot more for the diagnostics software).
Topdon now cracked the GDS2, but it is older software version than VXDIAG. What’s more, the topdon cracked GDS2 requires remote activation, which means it has a bad crack.
The vcx nano comes with newer crakced software. The software has to run under Admin authority.
The Topdon RLink because it is generally considered a low cost but professional-grade tool for ECU programming and reprogramming across multiple vehicle brands. It is also considered superior in robustness and compatibility. The example of not needing SPS2 inorder to use GDS2 for calibrations.
Based on our research, if you only need a portable, versatile, and cost-effective tool mainly for diagnostics, the VXDIAG VCX Nano would be a better choice.
The VCX NANO WiFi version also connects via WiFi. Rlink J2534 only connects via USB.
VCX NANO has many positive reviews in clearing GM Volt SHVCS error.
Problem:
Tried to diagnose a 2013 Jaguar X350 with VXDIAG VCX SE JLR and SDD V167 software. VCX SE connected with the vehicle but SDD said software updates have not been performed recently. But it is the latest version. Any idea?
Solution:
JLR servers being hacked and down since September 2nd, 2025.
SDD has stopped talking for the corporate server.
Still not right just now. TOPIX still works but has limited functionality.
You are not able to connect SDD to server or run update.
If this version does not work, download and install SDD V166. The previous version works fine.
