Review on VXDIAG VCX Nano GDS2 & Tech2Win: Advanced GM/Opel Diagnostic Programming System with WiFi Capability by Phil Oliveira

Believe me I was skeptical about this Chinese product and contraband software. If you have a moral dilemma with stolen software and patent infringement, this product is not for you! Most of the cheap MDI clones on ebay are actually fake VCX Nanos so do it right and get something that works. I watched a YouTube video and the software DVD was exactly the same as the one I recorded. You have 30 days to run or return the software, so the risk is minimal. Complaints about the need for 32-bit Windows XP are simply not true. For me everything works under Windows 10 64 bit both on a laptop and on a cheap tablet. Copy the contents of the DVD to your hard drive and run the auto-install script located in the tech2win folder. The VX Manager program should do the rest. GDS2 for 2009 and newer vehicles works with a Windows XP virtual desktop image. So it won't work on an older Windows XP computer anyway (works fine on a slow tablet). I emailed vxdiag the password to access the cloud service. That works, but then you connect your WiFi to the internet and it should be connected to USB. I rarely come across a US server, and Chinese doesn't seem to offer support for the English language, so it's a useless feature in my opinion. The wireless feature is definitely worth $10! The range is pretty good, my laptop takes too much juice to run from the cigarette lighter inverter so I parked the car in front of the house and I had half reception. My 2007 Saturn Ion with Tech2Win worked fine. A bit slow and sluggish but probably faster when connected to USB or it could be my old car as well. I have scanned airbag codes with full bi-directional support, radio, transmission, secondary air pump, evaporator checks. Pretty much everything a multi-thousand dollar scanner can do and a lot more it can't. UPDATE after weeks of playing and hair pulling. .The seller is working hard to get a remote connection to help me with my tablet, but I'm having problems on my end as I can't turn on the tablet, can't be online, and can only use the micro USB for the VX nano at the same time the tablet dies quickly when trying to diagnose MDI, no problem found. I had some quick email replies and they were able to connect remotely but couldn't fix the issued Wi-Fi so they returned a new unit with no issues. Wi-Fi was easy to set up for a couple of weeks, and then all of a sudden it didn't show up as an available network on any device. Most likely it will have to be returned under warranty! An inexpensive $64 NuVision 8-inch tablet with 64-bit Windows 10 connects wirelessly to tech2win with ease and even runs GDS2 in a virtual machine at reasonable speed! I've attached pictures of how to fix connection issues. You must change the North American COM port settings in tech2win! I've been tearing my hair out trying to figure out why it was working so randomly and sporadically for a minute rather than after a reboot etc. You need to point it to COMMUNICATIONS, I think the drivers are showing a USB or Wi-Fi connection on port 1 at least in my case.
