just wanted to list all the pieces of software for this VXDIAG interface I am playing with, by the way I have no idea what any of them really do, but here they are
1.
VX Manager launches something called
ALLScanner which has a menu item called Diagnostic but all it lets you do is add an App which they call a "Feature" I guess like the one for GM or Ford or Toyota. You do not Diagnose anything in
ALLScanner.
There is also a menu item called J2534 App which is just a link to their GM Tech Info System website which is a deadlink that redirects you to
https://www.acdelcotds.com aka their
TECHNICAL DELIVERY SYSTEM which we will call Software #2.
2.
TECHNICAL DELIVERY SYSTEM aka
https://www.acdelcotds.com this is where you pay your $40 bucks for a two year subscription to manage one VIN. Once you Register and log in it takes you to
https://tis2web.service.gm.com aka
TIS where you will find:
- Service Programming System (SPS)
- RPO Code Display (RPO)
- Security Access (Security)
- Calibration Information (SPS Info)
I am not making this up! See third screen shot below.
3. That brings us to
Global Diagnostics System - GDS which I guess is one of the "Features" we installed using Software #1. However this also failed us as it starts with model year 2009 and goes up. A guy who calls himself Peter shows us how it is supposed to work on his YouTube channel
Chevy Volt, Opel Ampera VXDIAG, VCX NANO GDS2 Diagnostics
4. And finally we have
Tech2Win which I am not sure if the Win is as in Windows or as in Wining? ha ha
are you confused yet? good, cause I spent about 12 hours on this and still got nothing to work, ha ha
