Tech2 and SPS2 programing

[Mickey_7106]

I have vxdiag download. Firmware and license are up to date. Tech2win was downloaded. Don't remember if was from vxdiag software or the tech line connect. When i click on tech2win app it shows it needs to be updated and expired license

You have to periodically update the Nano license. IIRC, it is accessed on that first page "Device" for VX Manager.

The tech2win app i have is outdated. not sure how to get the most current version.

ive been using different blogs from that site and its confusing. Its easier to download TLC from ACdelcotds.com. It downloads tech2win and MDI manager. Doing it both ways leaves me stuck with an old version of tech2win

Did your Nano come with a CD/DVD? That's where I install from..the tech2win is cracked, tho, to work with their device.

no Cd/dvd. It came with a USB stick but it only has gds2 software

 

[Mickey_7106]

ok. the software was in the usb stick. It was in .RAR format so my laptop wouldnt recognize it until i downloaded a program to read it then extract it. looks like i have access to tech2win but now it wont recognize the nano as being plugged in or installed

If you installed the GM software, it replaces the VXDiag drivers with its own. Might have to start over..uninstall everything and try again.

 

[Mickey_7106]

I Uninstalled everything and started over. Still getting this message when i open tech2win. I can see the vcx nano connected on vx manager. What am i missing?

And now this doing more digging within my pc system settings

Are you running VX Nano on windows 7 or 10?

VX Nano on a Win10 Laptop

Sounds like a USB Driver issue to me.

It was on a windows 10. Gave up on it and returned it

 

[Mickey_7106]

How so?

 

[exp500]

Com port 5 message. Need to check which are active and which is in use. Then compare drivers. Windows has never been good at selecting drivers automatically. You have to give it the right one.

I had major success while using SPS2 and Techline Connect to program my driver door module. Here is what I learned.

Guide I followed: http://blog.vxdiagshop.com/2022/03/...ano-gm-with-techline-connect-vmware-solution/

My particular scenario: Use a VM on my work laptop because my home desktop is everything that is not approved: Fedora 36, Ryzen 7 5000 series, and not portable. The work laptop has a strict security policy, but VMs are approved and there is no security policy for them.

What didn't work: 1) VirtualBox. All sorts of weird errors such as unable to authenticate TDS. I spent 3 hours on this before giving up and moving to VMWare Player. 2) Windows Host: could not download a Windows ISO while already using Windows and can't execute the media creation tool due to the work laptop security policy mentioned above.

What did work: 1) USB passthrough to guest OSes on either VM. Easier to set up in VMWare though. May be useful in the future because I have weird graphics issues with VMWare. (white distorted blocks) 2) VX Manager 1.8.9. I think it is the newest version. 3) Launching from Edge browser. 4) Not installing software in any particular order. 5) Only needing VX Manager and Techline Connect.

Actual process took maybe an hour from start-to-finish, including the Windows 10 Pro install.
The driver door module was programmed in under 5 minutes and resolved all of my weird issues I mentioned in my introduction thread.

I tried this process and followed it down to the T. I did everything correctly but once I plug in the usb to the VCXNano and "Connect to virtual machine" from list it does nothing. The VCXNano is not recognized and upon proceeding to the next step of setting up the VX Manager and updating the firmware, is just give me an error and says "No Device".

Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Also once you get to the final programming screen, could you post some screenshots of what it looks like or even a video of the laptop screen to know if I am seeing the same thing that worked for you?

I used an old Lenovo T-510.
Installed windows 10 64 bit.
Installed java 8 32 bit.
Installed VCX Manager.
Installed Techline Connect directly from AC Delco TDS website launcher.
Can program in vehicle or via bench harness.
No VMWare.
