How to solve VXDIAG VCX NANO Firmware Update Failed?

Problem:

My vxdiag vcx nano volvo interface has got quite old version firmware 1.5.1.0 as i see the latest goes to 1.6.6.0.  I tried to update the firmware but it failed me and reported an error “Firmware update failed”. Device was connected and communication indicators turn on.  Any idea?

Vxdiagshop solution:

Firmware version is too old to directly update to latest version.

First download firmware file 1.5.2.exe and install.

Then update firmware from 1.5.2 to latest version.

 

*The solution can be applied to all vxdiag scanners with older firmware version than 1.5.2.

Can I use vxdiag vcx nano for MB software??

Question:
I have a Chinese VXDIAG VCX Nano for GDS2 works on GM, when I try it on MB passthru (2019.03) I get a error
" Error License For Function: BENZ "
can this be fixed?
can I buy a license?

Solution:
The vcx nano for GM has the j2534 protocol only for GM cars. If you will try to use it with another j2534 compatible app like xentry it will not work.
vcx nano is a single car software passthru. It does not compatible with Mercedes/BMW/Porsche software even you buy a license.
For MB passthru, you need a vcx plus or benz c6 doip interface with a MB license.


FYI:
But still some people make it work. You are at your risk.
You can use VCX Nano and Xentry passthru to do almost 98% of all diagnostics.
It also connects through Monaco (smr-d files) and Vediamo (cbf files).
To achieve this, you need,
1) to use VX Manager 1.3 and not 1.6
2)While installing drivers, ensure to install Toyota (if the nano is for TIS version) and passthru only. Do not install/tick Benz software.
That way, you will be able to use it. I have used this tool for the past four years and rarely disappoints.

VXDIAG VCX NANO Not Corvette database

Question:
I bought the VXDIAG VCX Nano GM to bleed my ABS.  Corvette is not in the database of cars with the included database. Does it mean this device cannot diagnose Corvette?


Solution:
VCX NANO GM does come with Corvette database (in GM Global database )
Both our software CD and download link contains GM database.
