VXDIAG Auto Diagnostic Tool for Volvo xc90 s60 ( 2000-2015 years) Car Diagnostic Tool With Multi-language more Function Than Vida Dice 2014D Scanner

The first one arrived as a used item without the software, just the OBD adapter loose in the box and the USB cord hastily shoved in there. Item was returned and repurchased as Amazon said that was the only thing I could do.The second one arrived while I was away on business and is a new in box item, however the software DVD is completely blank and ready to be burned.I'm somewhat at a loss as how to proceed at this point. It would be awesome if this product can do what it claims, however 98% of this product is the software, which seems to be elusive in my case.Maybe I should keep buying and returning them until they get the hint? I wonder how many times you can do that. Regardless, if you don't get the advertised product (software) you did not get what you purchased.**UPDATE** May 03, 2018I completed the return and ordered this a second time, hoping to receive everything on the second attempt. My order arrived (new), however, the software disc was blank. I initiated another return citing the blank software disc, and was contacted by the seller who provided a link to the software. Unfortunately, I cannot download the 5GB via my 2MB DSL service, so the seller shipped a software disc to me.Once the software was received, I installed everything and figured out how to use it. First, the Tech2Win must operate as a virtual machine on your computer, so it doesn't matter if you have a 64bit OS (as I do). There are no instructions for this, so this is how I completed the install: - Install the VM software - Install the VX software (the VX software is for the diagnostic connector that connects to the car, and takes the place of GM's MDI) - Use the Tech2 Win auto-install - Install the GM MDI Manager - **Before** you open Tech2 Win, you must first open and run the VX Manger software and connect the vehicle connector to the USB, so the VX manager recognizes it (if you do not do this FIRST, the Tech2 program will not be able to locate the interface, and will display "no communication". - Open Tech2 Win application directly, it will automatically open via through a virtual machine on your computer passively, there is nothing you need to do with the VM software. - Once the Tech2 splash screen appears, press enter. You will be prompted to select which MDI the Tech2 software is supposed to recognize (this is why you must run the VX manager first, otherwise there will be no MDI selection present to select). - Connect to the vehicle and begin polling dataI believe many of the respondents who state this did not work simply couldn't figure out the necessary path. You must install everything, not just parts. The Tech2 looks for the VM software to open, so if you don't install the VM hardware (thinking it's not necessary), it may not function. Also, the VX OBD2 interface and VX manager software must be installed and running before you open the Tech2 application, otherwise the Tech2 won't see an MDI interface (the VX spoofs an MDI serial) for communication.Once I figured out the necessary path for operation, I am able to use this just as a GM supplied Tech2. You are still limited to model years 1992 - 2013 just as with a Tech2, so don't think you're going to use it on a 2014 - 2018 vehicle as they are not supported by the Tech2 anyhow.I've been able to get into my 1996 K1500, 2004 CTS-V, 2005 Uplander (programmed the key fobs), and 2013 Cruze with ease. This is the Tech2 software, so you can execute anything a Tech2 can (save for programming a PCM, you need a separate service for that).All in all, it's a great price for the capabilities you get without the need for a separate hand held device. I used the same laptop which I use all of my performance tuning. I would be hesitant to use this product on a device with personal information, but that's just me.I'm overall giving 4 stars bc there are no instructions, there is no location to download the software if you wished to (although the seller did provide a one time download address). But, it does work as described!

I like the fast delivery and how flawless the device works. Instructions were not provided, but after figuring it out and using it, five stars returned. Scanning with TECH2Win and programming with SPS no issues. Means that when using it , avoid disturbing the PC , USB cable, wire harnesses or other electrical circuits, especially during programming.Platform : Intel i3, Windows Pro 7, 4GB,1. Execute "VX Manager.exe" to install the software (I used options "PASSTHRU" & "GM GDS2/T2W" for the GDS2 module)2. Connect VXDIAG to PC using USB cable and wait for windows to completely install the device and return3. Start the "VX Manager" application (it should recognize the VXDIAG device)4. In "VX Manger" go to diagnostics and click "GM GDS2/T2W" and click "install" to install additional usb support5. Execute "AutoInstall.exe" from the "Tech2Win" folder to install Tech2Win6. Start "Tech2Win" application and it should recognize the device as a CANDi module using USB7. Installation is complete and can start vehicle scanning. (No need to install VMware-player.exe or Extracting GMEM.rar)

Believe me I was skeptical of this Chinese product and bootlegged software. If you have any moral dilemma with stolen software and patent infringement this isn't the product for you! Most of the cheap MDI clones on ebay are actually knockoff VCX Nanos, so do it right and get something that works...I watched one youtube video and the software DVD was the exact same as the burned one I got. You've got 30 days to get the software running or return, so minimal risk.The complaints about needing 32 bit windows xp simply aren't true. I got everything working running windows 10 64 bit on both a laptop AND cheap tablet. Copy the DVD contents to the hardrive and run the autoinstall script that's in the tech2win folder. The VX Manager program should take care of the rest. The GDS2 for 2009 and newer vehicles runs off a virtual pc image of windows xp...so that won't run on an older windows xp machine anyways (does run fine on slow tablet).I emailed vxdiag for a password to the cloud service. It does work but you then tie up your wifi to the internet and have to be tethered to usb. I rarely am able to log into the American server and the Chinese one apparently doesn't offer English support so kinda worthless feature IMO...The wireless feature is worth the $10 for sure! Range is pretty good, my laptop requires too much juice to run on a cigarette lighter inverter so I parked vehicle in front of the house and had half signal. My 2007 Saturn Ion running Tech2Win worked fine. A little slow and laggy but likely faster connected to USB, or it might be my older vehicle too. I was scanning airbag codes with full bidirectional support, radio, transmission, secondary air pump, evap checks...pretty much everything a several thousand dollar scanner can do and more that it can't.UPDATE after several weeks of playing and pulling my hair out.The seller is diligently trying to remote connect in to help me with my tablet, but having problems on my end as I can't simultaneously power tablet, be on internet, and use the only micro usb to VX nano...tablet dies quickly while trying to diagnose mdi not found issue. I've had multiple quick email responses and they were able to remote in but couldn't fix wifi issued so returned for new unit without issue.The wifi was easy to setup for a few weeks then suddenly didn't show up as an available network on any device...will likely have to warranty return!The cheap $64 NuVision 8-inch Windows 10 64 bit tablet connects wirelessly to tech2win just fine and even runs GDS2 on virtual machine at an acceptably slow pace!I have attached photos on how to fix your connection issues. You have to modify your north America com port settings within tech2win!!! I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out why it was so random and sporadic working one minute and not after a reboot etc. You must point it to the COMMUNICATIONS PORT, I believe the drivers point the usb or wifi connection to port 1 at least in my case.

If you're looking for ONLY a diagnostic tool on modernish GM vehicles, then this has you covered. Tech2Win works, but as a note, you CANNOT do any programming. The entire reason I purchased this was to actuate the ABS pump on my 1996 Silverado. Turns out that Tech2Win did not implement some protocols that older vehicles use. I could see the engine and transmission data, but it told me the protocol was not supported for brakes. You also cannot use this with TIS2000 to flash your ECU or any computers in the car.
