VSI NxGen

Product Description

DG Technologies VSI NxGen

The VSI NxGen is a comprehensive ECU re programmer with built-in OBDII diagnostic capability for service bay repairs and automotive engineering

A true J2534 pass-thru programmer & diagnostic tool for newer cars and light commercial vehicles with unlimited functionality that is only restricted by the OEM reprogramming application or diagnostic software capability.

Are all J2534 interfaces the same:

• In theory yes they should be but in reality they are not
• Some interfaces or diagnostic tools that claim to be J2534 compatible don’t have all the different protocols and some may be just J2534-1 and not have J2534-2 or 3
• And many other J2534/pass thru tool manufactures make many claims about how there tool is fully compatible with all brands and all OE software’s but yet they may not have tested all brands so these claims may have to be taken with a pinch of salt as NO one can claim full compatibility
• We only claim full compatibility with the brands we have tested ourselves and if there is any know problems we will let you know
• Some other J2534/pass thru tool manufactures say things like easy ECU programming or software updates by using the OEM software’s with there interface and again in reality they cannot make this claim  as how easy it is depends a lot on how the easy the particular OEM designs there software
• But DG Technologies have been in this business for many years and is validated by a huge range of manufacturers

What is J2534/Pass thru?:

J2534/Pass thru is a standard for communications between a computer and a vehicle.

It was brought into EU law that all car manufactures must provide access to reprogramming files and software for reprogramming for EURO 5 and onwards built vehicles

A J2534 compatible interface can be used to reprogram most control units on all EURO 5 and onwards compatible vehicles (with a valid subscription and for security related control units some manufacturers may require extra subscriptions and identification checks)

Euro 5 was brought into effect for new type approvals (new models) from the 1st September 2009 and new registrations from 1st January 2011.

The law states that the manufacturers only have to give access to the independent aftermarket for technical information (workshop manuals) and reprogramming from the above dates but some manufacturers also gave diagnostics and access to older vehicles some back as far as 2000.

The main brands that gave access to full diagnostics as well as programming/reprogramming are (and more manufactures may follow suite in the future)

• Audi 2005 onwards approx.
• BMW 2001 onwards (no programming for most bus systems)
• Mini
• Opel 2009 onwards (With GDS software)
• Seat 2005 onwards approx.
• Skoda 2005 onwards approx.
• Toyota 2002 onwards approx.
• Lexus 2002 onwards approx.
• Land Rover 2005 onwards approx.
• VW 2005 onwards approx. (not Transporter T5 and Touareg 7LA or any other older VAG vehicle that uses K-line)
• Volvo 2005 onwards approx.
  Most other brands only give access to technical information and reprogramming for Euro 5 compatible vehicles

So with the VSI NxGen and a subscription you can have OE diagnostics on the above brands and reprogramming for others, opening up new jobs to garages that would have been sent to the dealer before

The VSI NxGen has many special features included in its own software

• The VSI NxGen Validation Tool software allows technicians to clearly see that the vehicle network is communicating with the VSI NxGen and the VSI NxGen is connected properly to the computer. This application saves technicians troubleshooting time and provides a graphical display of the vehicle network connection.
• Get current calibration from engine ECU to help you check if a later version is available
• Read VIN from engine ECU
• EOBD/OBD diagnostics
