VXDIAG VCX NANO Techstream cleared 2019 Rx350 EPB malfunction

I am driving a 4th generation Lexus 2019 Rx350. My EPB malfunctioned after trying to replace the rear brake pads myself. I am looking for a good Techstream cable to reset EPB.

I read a lot of reviews, I got a VXDIAG VCX NANO for TOYOTATIS Techstream fromvxdiagshop.com$95+tax today. It is working perfectly. Windows 10 and Techstream work perfectly fine on my car.  I installed the drivers and software onto a newer laptop with new drivers and their provided 15 series software and all features including the “customize” function worked flawlessly. I have successfully cleared the electronic parking brake malfunction.  It’s perfect. The EPB is working now.

I also used it for programming a new key fob of my wife’s 2013 RX and to disable auto steering wheel tilting for another 2017 RX with no issue.

 

GM Volt Gen2 Android Auto Update by VXDIAG VCX NANO and SPS

My car is a generation 2 GM Volt year 2017 but was made early 2016. I got thevxdiag vcx nano gm scannerand SPS2 subscription ($40 for two years per VIN unlimited) last night, rushed the Android auto update in late night, haven’t had a chance to look around much at the software.

it can update gen2 or any GM car, but only with the latest software available. Android auto is not available for gen1.

My Volt Gen2 had apple car play, but no Android auto. It’s software version was definitely old. I’m not sure about the new apps, I’ll investigate. This only gives me access to updates GM as specifically released for this module.

It went through the sps software. To update my infotainment system (human machine interface) I actually had to download some software onto a USB, and uploaded that into the system. Then had to do a separate overall update to it.

I select which module I want to update, and it pulls from GM database the files. If there is an update to that module that GM has released, then you can access it. I can’t update say my gen two infotainment system with an entirely different modules software, say a Corvette infotainment system, if that makes sense. At least, that’s my understanding.

Still testing the device.  I’m curious what else you can do with it besides scanning, live data, component actuations.

Will VXDIAG VCX NANO do Old Ford UBP Protocol?

Question: 

I have a 2003 Ford Expedition, and UBP refers to the communication protocol.   OBDLink MX Bluetooth and Forscan have had very few troubles connecting to several vehicles from early models to more recent MS-CAN equipped models. I wonder if thevxdiag vcx nano ford idsis able to access old Fords with UBP.

Answer:

Most other vehicles use CAN, but these older Fords use UBP to communicate with the PCM. Most devices available cannot communicate with UBP.

Obdlink does not support UBP.VXDIAG VCX NANO does not do old UBP Ford either.

Forscan has UBP support as of version 2.3.09 but only for Ford VCM2 Adapters and VCM2 Clones.

Support for UBP protocols in ELM327 based adapters is still being worked on hence the prompt for the switch change if ISO/UBP is expected on the board but to date reading UBP with ELM327 adapters has not been successful!

You need a UBP compatible scan tool. One of the few scan tools with UBP support is Ford VCM II.

VXDIAG VCX NANO Review on Kia J2534 OEM Software

In the previous post, we have a customer successfully test vxdiag vcx nano Ford as a passthru device. Today we tested it on a real car.

Get vxdiag plugged into the OBD port
Turn on ignition switch
Don’t need any type of update always make sure that you have a battery tender or maintainer onto your vehicle so that the battery does not go dead

Then you run KMA program (Kia J2534 Programming Area)

initialization of passthru is a pretty long process
The vcx nano is actually worth its value as a pass-thru
It is trying to communicate with the vehicle
all my updates are done
we are actually going to be able to see anything onto

click on the engine
the vehicle program is updated to date
