User review on Chevy Bolt Radio Module Programming using VXDIAG
VCX NANO GM and SPS2.
"It is a Chevy Bolt. The infotainment system not
functioning. The screen worked but it would always freeze at the "Bolt EV"
logo.
I took it to the dealer they told that the radio module was bad and needed to be replaced. The quote was for $2400.
That seemed high so I looked for alternatives. I found a supposedly new radio module on eBay for $85 so I decided to fix it myself. Although the radio module lives behind the glovebox, it can only be removed upward, requiring the entire dashboard to be removed. With the help of the GM service manual, I tackled the job and eventually got the radio module replaced. The system now works but it seems like there is some radio module specific programming or updating that needs to be done. The screen now has buttons to control heated seats, an option my car does not have, and when I plug my phone into the USB, it will treat it as an iPod but it won't activate CarPlay. It seems like my options are to get a GDS2 adapter and attempt the programming myself or pay the dealer more money to do it for me.
To finish the story, I ended up purchasing a VXDIAG VCX Nano GM scanner and paid $45 for a two year subscription for my VIN so I can apply updates myself. The process, especially with software and drivers for the VCX Nano, is not for the faint of heart but I eventually got the computer connected to the car and got an update applied to the radio module. Everything is working as it should now and I didn't have to give the dealer any more money!
Total breakdown:
$300 to dealer to evaluate the problem
and tell me the radio module was bad
$85 for a replacement radio module from
eBay. Listing said it was new but I'm pretty sure it had been in a car
previously. There were preset radio stations. The radio module is not VIN
locked.
$109 for the VXDIAG VCX Nano from vxdiagshop.com.
$45 for the AC Delco
subscription for my VIN
Cheapest quote from dealer, with GM Assistance, was $1623.90 including the
$300 evaluation fee.
I count it up as a win!"
I paid the freight to get the vxdiag vcx nano gm scanner with subscriptions for SPS, GDS2 and Tech2Win.
After some study, I loaded it on old Acer laptop that I had previously upgraded to Win11 (not Pro). I downloaded the software and got error messages for "malware". Researched the error message and it stated that it was a "Google Chrome based system error". So, I switched to Firefox and downloads went smoothly.
Loaded the software from the vxdiagshop.com website, (not the USB thumb drive). Followed the instructions on the website and had no issues. Was able to scan the ABS on my 2008 GM 3500 Silverado and it worked perfectly, narrowing the issue to the right front wheel sensor. Saved a bunch of troubleshooting hours.
I like everything about this interface and software. Much cheaper than the Tech2 and I've had zero issues using it.
Highly recommend this tool even if you need help installing it. I have 4 GM vehicles, I repaired my Volt quickly. I reprogrammed my ECU and unlocked a donor radio ( but I had to reprogram the anti-theft program to complete). I first thought I had to use the ACDelco program, but i didn't. A dealer wanted crazy money to do any programming and no guarantee if it doesn't work. Takes a lot of patience and time, but it's worth it.
And moved on to my others. No worries. So this is a real value!
Here are the possible solutions to vxdiag vcx nano gm SPS2 Techline Connect program crashes problem
The problem goes like this:
Need to relearn the vin number in a navigation radio on a 2011 cadillac cts.
I get these errors right after selecting the vxdiag as device type
Selecting MDI or MDI 2 at the list does not recognize the vcx nano.
I can get as far as the screen right after selecting programming for the
radio and it crashes
It always crashes right after the module selection
screen.
Possible solutions:
1.Renew license and update firmware on vx manager. Don't forget to connect device with vehicle. If vx manager shows no voltage (as he did), there is no communication between device and vehicle.
2. Don't install vx manager and software on Windows 10 Home edition system.
3. Install vx manager and GDS2/tech2win on separate laptops. Install passthru driver only on the laptop that installs vx manager.
Fresh install Techline Connect Program
1 load passthru
2 passthrough vxdiag
load
3 launch techline from acdelco sp2 hotlink
