Normally I wouldn't recommend it because of the very shady software but I know some of you are desperate for updates. If somebody wants to try, this would be cheaper than the Mongoose interface. Since both programs use J2534 interfaces, I'm fairly confident VXDIAG will work for Mach-E updates in FDRS but I don't have my Mach-E yet to check 100%. FDRS also appeared to work, it connected to my vehicle and read modules, etc., but my vehicles aren't supported by FDRS so there was nothing I could "do" with the software.

I've used this successfully to update my other Ford vehicles via FJDS, which is an older version of this software, nothing bad happened.

After you're done updating your vehicle, I recommend uninstalling the software and doing a full antivirus scan to remove the leftovers.
After things are installed the VXDIAG will show up as a device in FDRS (install per directions in OP).

If you have install issues, disable your antivirus and restart. Install the software, update the device firmware to latest, and install the J2534 driver. When you get it, do not install any software from the CD, download the install files directly from the manufacturer here: VX Manager These could be real or false alarms (I'm not sure), but I would recommend you use it on a laptop you don't really care about that doesn't have any sensitive files. Warning: The software sets off a bunch of trojan warnings with your antivirus software. It's got some drawbacks though being a cheap Chinese clone. Only one way to tell is to get a real VCX and not a clone and see how it goes.I'll mention another possible scan tool that might work that only costs $109. Many have commented that they have had zero problems writing to the modules using the VCX whilst others say they are crap.

IDS or GM or ODIS etc Then they deal with compatibility in the PC driver software which is written by Fly who appear to have some respect at doing this type of work. I like their approach of having a generic high speed programmable interface box that is configured for the particular function i.e. I do believe they exist and maybe the SP177-C series are good A grades - I hope so as I may order one just to test when I have some spare money.īTW, I have just ordered a genuine VXDIAG VCX Nano Wifi to play with direct from the manufacturer off .uk. Price is seldom an indication of the quality too - I too would like to know where we can buy an excellent quality clone that is fully tested with v81 through to v104 firmware, not blacklisted and reliable. So there are good and bad offerings which this thread is about, where to get the good today, as the retailers chop and change their suppliers is always a mystery. I do agree as an engineer it should be done given the nature of a workshop environment - but there is a whole lot of things that need to be designed as part of the manufacturing process for that method before you just spray a hermatic seal on which significantly increases cost. As to the suggestion of a conformal coating being applied, I cannot see such a coating in the pictures I found of a genuine VCM2. The way these things are made you have to have a solder resist, usually the defacto green, so that the surface mount components can be soldered. I have never seen any pictures of a VCM2 clone that has bare copper traces. This loss of a quality connector in favour of a sub D style connector on the VCM2 is certainly no improvement for reliability in my opinion either. Whilst a metal box will survive a crush incident it does nothing to lesson a shock wave destroying reliability of electronic parts - of which many have ceramic as an integral part of their construction. Now to my opinion the new case is an improvement as shock absorption is better than a metal box. Gone is the diecast housing replaced by impact plastic as has the industrial multipin connector. The original VCM2 does not seem to have the same build quality from the photos found as the VCM1. Mine is not "A" grade but likely a B grade as they did opt for the wired banana power jack rather than a PCB version which is such a minor technical issue and not worthy of people's junk judgement.Īs noted in my original post about "Gold", the real VCM1 board has the cadmium plating at exposed test points but also has a diecast aluminium housing so I would opinion that the VCM1 was constructed to a very high standard. There is no sign of cost cutting, all parts are there. Now my clone when compared has nothing missing.
But the good thing is they have high res photo's of the original Vectronix boards. Well they were written a few years ago and I am sure they picked the most rubbish clones then available. I have been looking at a couple of articles extolling the virtues of buying genuine VCM. They must have took some shortcuts to save $$. I'm pretty sure that the Chinese "engineers" who developed those clones didn't copy the OEM board 100%.
