Question: How to choose an affordable Honda diagnostic scanner then you can easily and quickly determine the cause of the check engine light in my car? I am considering vxdiag and the HIM clone with double-board?
Comparison and Suggestion:
Affected VXDIAG Honda Scanners:
VXDIAG VCX SE Pro with optional 3 car software incl. HDS
VXDIAG VCX SE Full with HDS license
VXDIAG VCX DoIP full with HDS license
VXDIAG VCX Plus FORD MAZDA HONDA JLR 4 in 1
VXDIAG VCX Plus TOYOTA HONDA Land Rover Jaguar 3 in 1
Operating system:
HDS for HIM better loaded on Win7, some tested Win10 success well
VXDIAG Honda Win7 Win8 Win10 all testing working no issue
Software
VXDIAG Honda latest software comes to V3.103.048, multi-language, Free software updates
Software including
- H-D-S
- Honda Extension
- i-H-D-S 1.005.028
- Immobilizer Setup Tool
- J2534Rewrite with calibration files
HIM currently use H-D-S software version V3.103.066,, multi-language , Free software updates
HIM H-D-S does not contain i-H-D-S and J2534 Rewite program.
i-HD-S is used for newer >2017 and more. so VXDIAG will work on both new and old Honda.
HD-S can’t access new Honda IMMO anymore. You will need i-HD-S installed.
The J2534 Rewrite software is meant for the North American market. The Rewrite software allows to update powertrain models such as PCM and TCM.
A subscription to the i-HD-S and J2534 pass-thru device (i.e vxdiag) can access more functions
- J2534 ECU Reprogramming
- ADAS calibration
- TPMS calibration
- Function Tests
- SRS Deployment Status
- etc
Function:
they perform same functions, full system diagnostic, live data, Special functions – changing of permissible settings of blocks, programming etc.
VXDIAG Honda can do ECU reprogramming and IMMO key programming with i-HD-S subscription.
Suggestion:
If you are a DIYer or a Honda car owner, surely HIM clone is your choice. The biggest advantage of vxdiag Honda is that you are allowed to add multi-brand software into one single device, Benz xentry, BMW ISTA, Toyota TIS, JLR SDD, GM GDS2/T2W, Subaru SSM. VXDIAG Honda is your best choice if you are a professional technician.
