VXDIAG VCX Nano Diagnostic Programming System Compatible for GM/Opel

2008 Hummer, needed to replace BCM. Dealer wanted $170 to program and 1/2 hour $82.50 to install. In the 08 H2 replacement of the BCM takes 45 seconds at most. It (unlike many vehicles) has no need to remove any panels or screws. It’s literally beside the steering column and requires the release of 6 plugs that only go back in one foolproof way. The latest acdelco SDS for one vin is 45.00 for 24 months of access.I used a win11 laptop with all the latest updates. Signed up at acdelco and purchased an SDS one vin subscription. Used edge explorer and “view vin” which installed the SDs and tech 2 win ( more about tech2win later). After install, logging into acdelcosds opens the SDS program. Do not run as administrator- it ( for whatever reason ) won’t load.Prior to accessing acdelco, I downloaded the VXmanager online and installed.The SDs installed, it immediately recognized the vxdiag and the vehicle after 2 reboots. ( turn off antivirus to install ) and don’t pick ( install as administrator)Recommendation : make sure vehicle battery is fully charged and attach a battery charger or power supply ( I used a NOCO 7 amp power supply - charger.I replaced the BCM and the flash downloaded and pushed to the vehicle, now the “problem” after a flash, you need to add the “supplemental restraint system” encoder into the new BCM via tech2win. However the version of tech2win that’s installed via SDS automatically isn’t activated with your SDS subscription. Not a problem. Open vxmanager and install tech2win ( an older version ). go through the menus and find suplemental restraint key and sync the key. This will turn off the airbag light and you’re done. Or you can stay in tech2win and “activate” all your vehicle function switches and relays and check that everything works - for fun or testing “intermittent problems”. You can clear other DTCs and alter customizable settings like “when do my auto headlights turn on - at what dusk darkness” and manipulate other settings like Now, when you reopen SDS via acdelco login, it’s going to re-install the latest tech2win, but that’s not a problem. Most modules do not need tech2win after programming the module. Some do, some don’t. But after the SDS flash, complete instructions are then posted below the flash screen outlining any necessary additional setup up procedures needed. Since tech2win only covers up to 2010 vehicles when GM GDS took over, using an old version of tech2win isn’t an issue, vxmanager must be running when you open tech2win.I’ve had this vehicle since it rolled o off the assembly line in mar 2008. we only use it to tow a color matched enclosed trailer. I know every nut bolt and screw on this vehicle, so I’m sure I’ll need the VxDiag again. 10 years ago the last time I needed a module, I had friends with tech2 devices and access to programming needs. Now I have to rely on myself ( repair shops never do neat, clean workmanship anymore ) and it’s just a hassle to take anything you care about to a garage for even the simplest tasks anymore. Yup, I’m old, meticulous and don’t mind spending a day detailing, maintaining or repairing. Reprogramming modules is one of those “grey” areas of DIY repair. The money of having it done elsewhere isn’t the issue, the problems is - the hassle of taking it somewhere vice the satisfaction of doing it yourself in less time than it would take to drive to - from a shop - with equal or better results and the assurance that your vehicle has the same fasteners back in it that it had prior ( always a sore spot with me - lost / left out fasteners.)After the BCM install, I @went into all the modules and ensured they had the latest updates and options matched my preferences.I didn’t use the USB enclosed with the VxDiag, downloaded vxmanager direct, which facilitates the tech2win download.

This thing has brought me nothing but frustrations and I never did get it working. I had much difficulty getting VX Manager installed and even to connect to the VCX Nano device. Between licenses being expired and the VX Manager always saying offline the software is just a janky mess. Many tabs within VX Manager were blocked from accessing anything by security on my eero router. At one point I bypassed that, which I highly recommend not to do!) and downloaded a newer version of VX Manager. Installing this set off Windows security telling me threats have been found along with one error message after another. Luckily, I was running this mess in a VM so hopefully nothing got out.Based on my experience with this device I would actually be afraid to hook it up to my vehicle. Who knows what crazy crap could happen!If you do decide to give this thing a try, be aware that you will be in for it when it comes to the software and setting it up. Save the money for another option!

Make sure you install the VX Manager software BEFORE you connect it to your computer. It was a PITA to set up, but after all of it, it worked like a charm. Saved me a fortune from towing it to the dealer and it worked with a USED PCM. Would use and buy again!!!! Would have liked to had the WIFI version though this one is USB wired. Do not worry about all of the GM software on the USB drive included with the VCX Nano. All of the pertinent software will be installed when you go to ACDelco Techconnect for the flash package for your car. It will update a few times before it will actually bring you to the vehicle selection screen. Be patient!! It will work.

Recently, my vehicle (2008 Suburban LTZ) had issues with the airbag system. Setting up the applications took a while, as some guides suggested using a virtual system to download the programs. However, running Tech2Win on a virtual system caused issues. After deleting the virtual system and installing the applications on the main window, I fixed the problem and began working.The product identified the issue with the airbag system and more, which helped me resolved the issue. I also attempted to program my radio to include the backup camera (the old one was stolen, and I replaced it with a junkyard unit without a programmed camera). Unfortunately, this product doesn't work well for programming modules using GM Service Programming System 2. Despite following multiple guides, at the end of the "Verified" programming stage, it would throw out an error.

Works like a charm. Full functionality of ForScan.i use it to make keys, relearn procedures, functions testing. Comes with all the software to connect to the cars and the dealerships/manufacturers systems for remote programming.

This thing has saved me so much money, I'm an ASE certified master automotive tech and I've used and own many scanning and programming devices and software, recently I had a 2016 gmc sierra denali that came in from one of our dealer clients, it was towed to our shop no start and a massive amount of electrical issues, turns out the previous owner was towing a trailer with it and got a flat tire, the truck was then switch by lightning and the truck was totaled by the insurance but not before they attempted to repair it, the bcm was melted and destroyed so they replaced it however it was never programmed, the ecm was also destroyed so I bought a used replacement, however the dealer wanted way too much to program it and my GM MDI tool broke about 3 months ago, I bought this and used my current subscription to acdelcotds.com and it programmed everything perfectly without any problems, very happy with it, it seems to work best with a windows surface tablet which I just recently purchased used on eBay for a steal so all together this has cost me about 300 bucks and I was able to make that all back and then some on just this one job.
