Here comes an honest review on VXDIAG VCX SE Benz scanner from one of vxdiagshop.com’s customers.
“I recently received a package I’d been waiting for: the VXDIAG VCX SE diagnostic tool, specifically aimed at Mercedes Actros trucks. Let’s dive into the unboxing and my initial experience getting it up and running.
The unit itself is a solid device. But my journey started with a small hiccup. Interestingly, I initially had a significant issue with the device drawing too much power.
To work around this, I found a simple fix: the device operates perfectly well on a 12V power source. So, I decided to use this handy little gadget (the power adapter) to get it going. A major plus of this tool is that it also supports DOIP (Diagnostics over Internet Protocol), which is essential for working with newer vehicles. From what I’ve seen, it seems to be very capable for modern trucks.
The package includes a quality cable, and the main unit feels well-built. The first step was to get it communicating with the software I already had installed on my computer. The setup process was surprisingly quick and smooth. It connected via Wi-Fi without any issues, and I soon saw the icon in the corner of my screen indicating it was ready to go.
I’ve already tested it with both the XENTRY Truck and XENTRY Cars software. It works in what’s known as the “OpenShell” mode. While I don’t have the full, official program to test every function, the OpenShell mode is working flawlessly for me.
I successfully connected to a Mercedes Actros, and this was actually my second time running the software. I’m happy to report that everything works stably and excellently, even on a 24V system, which is standard for many heavy-duty trucks.
Initial Verdict:
So far, the VXDIAG VCX SE is proving to be a stable and effective diagnostic solution for the Mercedes Actros 2009-. After a minor initial power issue that was easily resolved, the device connected quickly and has been performing reliably with the necessary software. It’s a promising tool for anyone needing professional-level diagnostics for these trucks.”
