Can I Use VXDIAG VCX SE with Renault ADT Software?
Question:
Will VXDIAG VCX SE/VCX NANO Renault software diagnose new Megane 5 Electric 2022 car?
Answer:
No, for this model you need Renault ADT software. If use CLIP software, software will throw error “the vehicle is not subject to diagnosis with the CLIP device, please switch to the ADT device”.
Renault Group launched the Alliance Diagnosis Tool (ADT) to its dealer network worldwide. ADT is the next generation of vehicle diagnosis and repair tool for car models introduced after 2020.
VXDIAG VCX NANO doesn’t work via doip, it cannot be used as passthru with Alliance diagnostic tool RENAULT program.
VXDIAG VCX SE does work via DoIP, but some users tested cannot use the physical token for ADT.
So for newer Renault with SGW security gateway, better use original VCI or Autel/Launch X431 scanners (still need to bypass gateway).
BMW E90 Radio Coding with VXDIAG VCX SE BMW
Background information:
Got a BMW radio replaced which was removed from a car with a Hi-Fi system, it did not want to be coded (RAD2 module) to Stereo via a cheap inpa cable (because cheap cables do not digest large packages of LCI versions of radios).
You need a better cable for diagnostics and coding. When retrofitting Top Hi-Fi, you have to code the radio for different configurations, and more than once.
It was decided to buy something more serious than a cable. The choice was between the ICOM clone with an optical adapter or the VXDIAG VCX SE BMW. The second one won.
Why choose VXDIAG? After reading reviews about the very frequent failure of ICOMs clone, their dubious filling, and in principle the presence of at least some technical support, in connection with the above, he ordered the VCX SE in the minimum configuration – just a device, without SSD or HDD, since everything necessary was already installed on the laptop and is freely available on the Internet.
Here is such a little thing with functionality not inferior to ICOM.
Of course, in addition to coding, I had other plans for this adapter. Among them was restoring the functionality of the dead radio.
Once again connected to the machine, but now through a modern interface via Wi-Fi, we try to resurrect the radio.
Tried to flash RAD2 with the programming voltage ON, headed to no result as always.
The radio did not start, the firmware was loaded only with the first strip, and the second remained at zero.
Today I was thinking “what if it’s because of the broken MOST Ring, cause I don’t have any MOST module, but the RAD2 HU Have the MOST GW and it blinks when the ignition is on. So, I just made the MOST loop with original BMW wiring (will retrofit top hi-fi in the future, looking for parts at the moment) and has connected it to the RAD2.
Then:
WinKFP
Comfort Mode
Update ECU
Choose RA2CL2
Prog.
Ok
I did it with VCX SE BMW through WiFi connection. The flash procedure took about 15 minutes.
To program the RAD2 with MOST GW you must connect it to itself or rather have MOST loop.
VXDIAG VCX SE Cannot Connect Benz Viano W639?
Problem:
One of vxdiagshop.com’s customers bought the vxdiag VCX SE Benz scanner with his Mercedes Benz Viano W639. He had difficulty connecting to any of the modules.
Will vxdiag vcx se diagnose and code modules on W639?
VXDIAG engineer solution:
Viano W639 you should manually enter VIN to scan modules. VXDIAG Xentry will not automatically read VIN on this old model.
Our engineer has tested it working fine.
Support 4-way can bus, 2-way K-line / L-line protocol. It works fine on 2005 onwards models. For pre-2005 models with Kline, need luck.
Does VXDIAG VCX SE Work with Subaru FreeSSM?
FreeSSM is a free and easy to use diagnostic and adjustment tool for SUBARU vehicles. It provides access to the engine and transmission control units of the models Legacy/Liberty, Outback, Baja, Impreza, Forester and Tribeca (not before MY1999). 1.2.5 version is the latest. Possible to use the FREESSM software with VXDIAG VCX SE?
The answer is NO. The best cable for FreeSSM is the cheap $10-$20 VAG-COM KKL 409.1 OBD2 USB cable. It is a cheap cable with FTDI chip.
VXDIAG VCX SE does not work with the FreeSSM software. VCX SE only works with SSM3 and SSM4 software. vag-com is not going to work SSM3/SSM4 software. SSM requires J2534 standard compliant adapter. vxdiag is j2523 compliant – vxdiag can be used instead of openport cable. Vxdiag vcx se Subaru works well with ssm3 and ssm4 the vcx se also has a wired cable you can use.
Check: FreeSSM vs SSM3
Neither FreeSSM nor Romraider will connect to the modules in a 2021
Subarus. only some earlier models are supported.
So you have better keep both
VXDIAG SSM3/SSM4 and FreeSSM.
