The Tech2win is for older cars from about 1992 on the North American side up to 2008, for the Vauxhall we use a little bit later so it will be about 1996 or 1998 up until 2012 up to the Insignia platform then they started moving over GDS2.
Vxdiag vcx nano gm tech2win does not work on Saab nor Opel. VCX nano does not with Saab properly even with bin files, it does not work well with the mdi very well either. It requires a lot of BUS protocol that MDI cannot emulate. It does work on Opel/Vauxhall with proper bin files.
Vauxhall 182 is the latest and most stable version as it is known to all. 137 is good sometimes.
VCX NANO does not have Opel Tech2win bin files. You need to find yourself.

Test Vauxhall 182 with vxdiag tech2win:
Connect vcx nano gm interface with laptop
Run vx manager, you can see it is connected and it is showing its serial number
Do a quick device test, update the license and firmware to the latest
version
Now we go configuration of the Tech2win
and you have numbers of
different rom files which give you different access to different
vehicles
even though this is the Vauxhall platform can be used
We click Vauxhall 182 you will get a TECH2WIN Screen pop-up
you select the
top one MDI-USB
if it is black means vcx nano is not connected
Connect vcx
nano via USB
and it comes to the screen here TECH2
Now select vehicle, model and function you need to perform.

Question:
I have a VXDiag VCX Nano Ford for IDS interface and I tested 2 versions of IDS (118.01 and 121) and in both the error below always occurs when I try to start a new session:
There was a problem gathering vehicle data. The vehicle may have entered Battery Saver mode. To correct the problem, make sure the ignition is ON and the battery is fully charged or connected to a charger. To Try again, start a new session.
Solution:
The problem was solved. I provided a battery charger and kept insisting on the connection until it just plugged in and after that I had no more problems.
I was even able to apply an update to my PCM module.
Question: Which Ford IDS adapters support UBP and FEPS protocol Ford F series trucks and Lincoln models? i.e 2004 Lincoln Aviator uses UBP and FEPS on pin 3 and 13. Gets confusing which adapter, OEM, clone, which SW, Forscan, IDS, etc would do UBP and if needed also handle the FEPS if I need to program a module. Does the vxidag vcx nano ford ids do UBP models?
Answer:
VXDIAG
VCX NANO Ford won't do some F series trucks pre-2010 because of no FEPS
support. The UBP network is a special case, only Ford used it as near as you
can tell and only for about 5 model years and only in North America, and it
seems on SUVs and the F series trucks and some of the cars and is very obsolete
except for those of us that have vehicles equipped with it.
OBDLink EX worked well but it has limitations of what module it could access.
Forscan supports UBP since version 2.3.09 but it only works on Ford VCM2 adapters and VCM2 clones.
Forscan tried for almost a year, to develop a Kline protocol (which is very similar to UBP) during 2.3.09 development to enable UBP support for FTDI/ELM327 adapters but never got it to work (even had the external HSMSCan switch support for it at one time) so it will ever be supported in ELM327 based adapters like the vLinker FS!
Which VCM2?
SP239-B it is basically a VCX NANO in VCM2 clothing. It will not do UBP either.
SP177-C/C1: the best quality SP177-C clone works fine with Forscan and IDS
V86 and with the VCI manager 2.3.85.7 (Latest one V86 will work with needs it to
work with Forscan also) which is still available at the boschdiagnostics.com
site. Unfortunately, the one is not being made anymore.
It will do FEPS
work, our have users have updated the 03 Expedition PCM and changed the tire
size in the 05 F150 using a Patched IDS 86 but you have to use a program patch
to reset and enable the PMI for 120 days and back date the computer to early
2013 for PMI to work!
SP177: SP177 is the replacement for SP177-C and C1. The one has a Blue jack connector in that position and was supposed to be the best of the SP177 series! This unit they say will do FEPS and UBP. It is V108.
The VCM3 is what Ford has replaced the VCM2 with at all their dealers in preparation for the electric vehicles that are coming in the future model years, it is backwards compatable with every thing the VCM2 does and is available at the Rotunda site (for $1499.00US without the cables)! A lot of people who have tried it say it works fine with Forscan and find it slightly faster!
BUT I have to add one thing as apparently UBP support has been removed from the VCM3 as it is not listed as supporting UBP in the Ford specs!
I got Vxdiag VCX nano Toyota Techstream wifi cable for my 2012 Prius v wagon 3 . Working pretty fast and well – faster than the cheaper ones, no glitches. I heard it's the best money/quality.
If you get this some tips: after you install Techstream and you copy Toyota Launcher.exe in the bin folder, and you install VX Manager (anyway dongle software) and update the dongle. Disable firewall defender from control panel. Launch Toyota Launcher.exe. If that doesn't open Techstream like in the VXDiag tutorial (they also have youtube versions), then open Techstream and fill in as per the tutorial with those names, numbers, settings. Then as you reach the key box, close. Then open with Toyota Launcher.exe copied in bin – might take 2-3 seconds before the program responds. It should open Techstream at this point and you know you're good when you see 2d23h59m in the left corner at the bottom.
Reactivate firewall and always use Toyota Launcher.exe in bin to launch Techstream – delete the original .exe and make a shortcut of the copied Toyota Launcher.exe . So far I was able to monitor live my brakes and to run general diagnostics. It works pretty fast; I tried the mini vci a bit and it was much slower and glitchy, every other third major thing I did it crashed.
The reviewer made a point: you gonna keep this car for years; so it's a worthy investment if you DIY. The VCX won't give you trouble as far as I know.
GM Tech2 or the vxdiag vcx nano gm tech2win scanner will calibrate the bpps on Chevrolet Corvette C6 by itself.
Tips on BPS relearn:
Step 1: Set up vx manager and software
First off, you want to install VX manager 1.8.* to a windows 7 or up machine. Windows defender may see the VX manager has a problem during install, so if you do get a pop up from defender that is blocking one of the files, need to click on the pop up and allow VX manager to install.
Once you have VX manager installed and working correctly, plug the VCX Nano into the machine, click on the firmware icon to update the firmware on the nano, then click on the license icon to update the license for the nano.
Leave VX manager open, leave the VCX Nano plugged into the machine, and run the Tech II autoinstall.exe from the disc tech2 win folder that will come with the machine. This will install two Tech2win icons on the desktop, and the one that is Quickstart, Delete it since you will never use it.
Now with Tech2 win installed on the machine, go back into VX manager, click on the top diagnostic tab, go the second tab down on the left hand side, and install Passthrou, GM GDS2/T2W apps in Vx manager. Once these are installed, do a restart on the computer.
Step 2: BPS relearn procedure
Now to use the VXDIAG
VCX Nano GM, start off by clicking on the Tech2win icon in the desktop with
the nano plugged into the laptop.
You will get a pop up screen, so select
North America.
Next pop up screen, select MDI 1.
Third pop up screen,
select USB device in the list.
Now you will be into the Tech2 win
program.
Put the car into ACC mode, connect the nano to the OBDII port of the car,
then in tech2 win back on the laptop.
Click OK,
Click F0
diagnostic,
Click 2013, and not the year of your car if is a 2006 or later.
Hence there is a bug in the program, and to get to the BCM in a car after 2005,
you have to select 2013. any other modules you want to get to, just use the real
year of the car.
Click passenger car
Click chevy,
Click Y body
type
Click body, let the program read the car, then select BPS relearn to do
the re-lean from the body list.
On the relearn, don't touch the brake pedal for the first part, and when you go to press the pedal down for the second part, don't go buck wild on the pedal press. Just press the pedal enough to get into the brakes lightly!!!!
If you need to do a clutch position sensor relearn, then you want CPS and on this one, pedal at rest to start with, then pedal all the way down for that relearn.
