Question:
Can I transfer all my licenses from VXDIAG VCX SE to this new VCX FD VCI and can I buy this VCI without any licenses?
You are allowed to transfer license from vcx se to vcx FD vci. But have to wait 6 months.
Currently, only Ford/Mazda and GM software are integrated into the VCX FD.
VXDIAG engineers are working on it.
When they integrate all software
licenses to the VCX FD interface, you can transfer license by providing serial
number of both VCX SE and VCX FD.
Question: Can i use VXDIAG VCX SE J2534 as a passthru device for Porsche PIWIS III software? What firmware version do i need?
Answer: Yes, many tested working no issue.
Here is a modified Porsche PIWIS 3 V38.500 vmware software for Passthru devices.
File including:
PIWIS3-PT VMware torrent
and passthru settings files for vas6154 clone, vxdiag vcx se, vas5054, maxiflash vci, avdi etc.
(You need to install drivers according to firmware).
Just load this on VMware Workstation Pro and launch Piwis3. Connect your VCX SE (or other VCI) and you should see the usb connection on bottom left of the screen.
To verify connection with VXDIAG VCX SE:
NOTE:
If using vas6154 clone, must have firmware 1.6.0 or 1.6.6. Newer firmwares will NOT work. If you have 1.6.0 device then you need to set the VM date to before 2020 and then PIWIS will work. 1.6.6 does not need to change the date.
If use vxdiag vcx se, you can update the firmware to latest version but needs to patch or buy VAG license from vxdiagshop (or use VXDIAG VCX SE 6154 with VAG license in default).
Review:
1. Worked like a charm with VxDiag vcx se 6154 Passthru! latest driver 1.8.9.
2. latest firmware works, need vag license from Allscanner. No need to downgrade firmware.
3.
also tested firmware 1.8.4, works fine. vcx se 6154.
Problem:
I cannot install and update vxdiag vcx se Benz VCI driver.
Got an error "Connect device error: ping failed".
Any solution?
Possible reason:
Ping failed usually caused by network issue.
Try solution here first
If not working, check network connection.
If has no network connection, disconnect device, unplug OBD, change USB port and reconnect device via USB only.
Check if WiFi indicator turns on.
Then connect OBD, check if WiFi indicator will turn on. If do all above, WiFi indicator still not turn on. There is something wrong with your vcx se interface.
Need to send back for repair.
Problem:
Topix cloud isnt detecting vxdiag vcx se jlr doip vci. i tried reinstalling vci software but it didnt work.
Keeps asking to install new version of VCI drivers. But cannot find where to install this vci driver. Pathfinder software works though.
Answer:
JLR Topix Cloud banned all 3rd party devices.
So vxdiag jlr device is not working with Topix Cloud anymore.
Choose Pathfinder HDD Offline Unlocked without TOPIX Login instead.
Problem:
The VXDIAG
VCX SE BMW adapter purchased will not work with current ISTA 4.44.30. ISTA
requires a firmware update.
VX Manager indicates that the firmware in the
adapter is up to date.
So the question now is: will this problem be solved in
the future? Or just use the old ISTA version?
Solution:
ISTA 4.44.30 software version is too new. BMW driver is not ready for this version.
Use older ISTA version (4.41.30) instead.
VXDIAG engineer will release new BMW driver in the near feature.
