- In this episode, I show you how to install the VCX Nano software and use the TEC2WIN feature to diagnose the check engine light on my 2007 GMC Sierra.
The VX Manager installation files for version 1.8.0.0814 that I mention in the video can be found on my website here: lowbuckls.com/vx-manager-file...

Thank you for making this video. Explained very thoroughly from start to finish.
Great video. Thank you for making it. Your explanation was extremely helpful in my success with the nano. Without your help I don’t think I would have been able to be successful in fixing my truck. Thanks again
Thanks! As of now there is a new driver on their site, and it actually downloads :)
Been wondering how that device would compare to the actual software now I know thank you Randy.
BCM Programming with VCX Nano and SPS

$109 I got the VCX Nano from Amazon. It does not come with software that will cost you a extra $75 for GM from VCX. Too much for something to see IF ... It works. The FREE version of software does not work. I have screenshots step by step of error messages... IF you feel like you want to debate me on that - I followed your instructions perfectly. Checking the GM box gives you Toyota.
I received a call from Shanghai CHINA at one point.
$184 = IF it works... I can get the dealer to program my stuff for that much.
You made it seem like the VCX + AC Delco software and subscription WAS all that was needed. I now have a AC Delco subscription and VCX that does not work... And It took me ALL day on my day off to determine I needed additional software. The AC Delco software is PUNISHINGLY slow and I downloaded and installed TWICE because I could not get things to work. I followed your instructions perfectly. I'm tempted to get the GM Tech 2 with Candi Module connector... $400-$500 no Chinese taking over your computer.
I use an old crappy Win7 32bit Acer laptop JUST for my VCX Nano (wireless disabled, never on-line), I've had as many weird problems as you. The software is hacked for sure, BUT it does work! Watch out for that crap micro-USB connection, I kinda damaged mine one day by accident (fixed with lots of tape)
Thanks for the informative video.
If you have a newer car and plan on only using GDS2, do you still need to install the tech2win?
Thanks, for the good video. But, what type of Windows software did you install in your laptop, to use this device?
Windows acts like everything is a Trojan or virus that isn't Microsoft made. I wouldn't worry too much about the warning but ya if you don't shut down Windows defender its going to block some of the install and quarantine parts which will have you going crazy trying to figure out why you can't keep up with the directions for install.... so everyone who has all these issues... SHUT OFF YOUR ANTI VIRUS BEFORE BEGINNING THIS PROCESS and then you'll be fine. Idk if someone already said this but.. yea thats my two cents.
Thanks for the video. Half way through trying on my own I somehow accidentally deleted the gds2 and so i had to delete everything start over with your video and success. Thanks much
is there a way to get around the license or you have to buy one?
I'm about to order one of these so I can program the modules in 2014 Chevy Volt. My laptop has Windows 10 Home edition with 8GB ram. Is that good enough or do I have to have Windows 10 PRO?
What do you do if you upgrade firmware. This video got me so much closer but i messed up and upgraded and now it doesnt work. upgraded to 1.8 and then figured out how to downgrade to 1.6 but i cant find a way to downgrade to version 1.5.
Could I use this on my 2013 silverado to program the ebcm?
I don't understnad - did you did you not turn off your anti-virus before installing?
Can you use this device to learn newly installed parts? Also, can you use this device to do a fuel injection diagnostic by firing individual fuel injectors? Can you communicate with different things in the vehicle?
So You Can Program Say A BCM On A 2014 Camaro With The SPS Through The MDI Portion Of VCX?
I’m trying find idle relearn for throttle body on 04 Silverado
Great Video. Will this reprogram a TEHCM for a Saturn Outlook 6T70?
Did you figure this out? I need to do one for a 2013 silverado 6l80
do i have to buy a separate license to install odis
Hey Randy,I could use some advice.I bought a VCX Nano and it installs without the software license.Windows (10) shows the Nano in the device manager but there is no license info coming up when I start VCX Diag Manager.Any ideas?

Good video helped me out a little but before i buy one i would like to know if i can program a alason 1000 tcm on a 04 duramax 04 gmc sierra 2500hd lb7 thanks in advance
That I'm not sure about and unfortunately I don't have a truck like that to try it on... if your want to change your transmission tuning I'm guessing that it probably won't be able to do that... if your just wanting to replace the tcm and reflash the stock tune it might work but haven't tried it myself
so mine came with a flash drive. but it says i dont have a license any thoughts?
Do this works with 1995 OBD 1.5 GM cars like the Pontiac Sunfire?
I have a problem with a error saying no valid lease found , how do you solve this issue ???
Can the VCX Nano be used to get rid of the flashing SECURITY light on 99 Silverado? I have already disabled VATS and related DTCs using HP Tuners. Truck starts and runs fine, except the annoying SECURITY light flashing. Thank you. Charlie.
Pull the bulb out the dash on that security light
hello. i want to disable DRL on Aveo t300 korea made. 2012 year. can you help me ?. what i need?.
Hey Randy, I don't have a disk drive on my laptop. Is their anyway to download the files or do you have a link to the CD files?
The software disc (based on reading reviews on amazon) is probably blank, if you even receive one. You will receive download links to the software you'll need. ----------From the amazon product page: "Using Tips:1. Package do not come with CD, please refer to the user manual for obtain software link."
it does not come with a CD. At least not anymore. It is virtually impossible to download and install the software from the cloud link they provide
Hey, I just got this. I got a question. I ordered the Nano and waiting for it to arrive but I downloaded the software off the website to check it out and I got a Lease not valid error that I can't seem to fix. Does your GDS2 do this when the Nano isn't plugged in?
I’m pretty sure you need to have the Nano plugged in to your laptop, I’ll test it out when I get home without the Nano plugged in and see if I have the same issue.
@@LowbuckLS Awesome thanks!
Hello, I would like to know if the ODIS software & vas5054a is compatible with this device?
if you have a 2013 cadillac ats do u just go to the GM mgi manager instead of tech 2 win it keeps saying license needs renewed
Yes Tech2Win is only for older vehicles
I bought one for my Nissan versa but I don't think it supports it. Help!
Support all vehicles?
I get to the part at 16:25 where I select the interface but nothing is listed.
will it work with windows 64 bit too
donde puedo descargar todos los archivos
?
Hi im Marc. Im thinking about getting this for person use. I have a 03 Monte Carlo i need to put a bcm in. So can it work with windows 10?
Yes it works with Windows 10
new subscriber hear does the vcx have bi directional control ? and I am in Ireland does it do Opel which was owned by GM for years. nice channel great content .
Yes it does have bidirectional control, you can test injectors, ignition coils, solenoids etc using the VCX. I think it supports Opel as it has various options for international models.
@@LowbuckLS Thanks for the reply I am going to purchase one as a second scantool have an Autel and Brainbee its European
@@LowbuckLS vxdaig nano can use for vw group like skoda vw and Audi
Randy, if i just want to use it as a j2534 pass thru, what is the process to install it, and to be recognized, lets say by tunerpro or those programs. Been watching your videos and decided to get one also. Love your content!! Tia!
The process has changed a bit, I’ll try and do an update video soon to explain how it works now.
Cool! I will be on the look out! Thanks for your answer..
Hey brother sorry to bother you man but I downloaded tech2 update from GM without realizing it how do I get rid of those drivers I deleted the software and download it again from the CD but still not working properly
Make sure you have uninstalled all of the related software, it's more than just one program that needs to be deleted. I use a program like Revo Uninstaller but if your on Windows 10 you should be able to go into Settings>Apps>Apps&Features and scroll down through the list of apps installed on your computer. Click on each of the following programs and uninstall it: GDS 2 Java, GM MDI Software, J2534 Wrapper, Java 8 Update xxx, Tech2Win, TIS2WEB IVCS5B Com Proxy, TIS2WEB Proxy and VX Manager Version xxx.
Once you have all of those uninstalled start from scratch and install the software from the CD, hopefully that works.
Jump to 15 mins to skip all the software install.
I have been having a hard time with installing to get this working? I have a thumb drive instead of disk, it says no valid lease ???? Frustrated
Thanks for the info!, can this software be installed on a Windows 10 and or Windows 8.1 computer with or without using "compatability mode" or VMWare? Thanks again..
I can’t say for sure about Windows 8.1 but I am using it on Windows 10 without compatibility mode or a virtual machine
@@LowbuckLS thanks for your reply, you are able to install and use both Tech2win and GDS2 on Windows 10, what version 10, Home, Pro etc? :}
@@nirbhaokhalsa4636 I am using Windows 10 Home 64 bit, I can use Tech2Win with no issues, I can open GDS2 and see that it has a valid lease but I don’t have a GDS2 compatible vehicle to connect it to so I can’t completely verify operation of the GDS2 application
@@LowbuckLS Thanks again for the reply. Have you considered creating a portable version of the program on perhaps a USB 3 thumb drive so you don't have to keep installing and uninstalling the program? th-cam.com/video/R3FhOiXCFGk/w-d-xo.html
@@nirbhaokhalsa4636 I didn’t know that was possible, maybe I will give it a try
Would the VXDiag work to replace and reprogram a used GM AC Delco E39a PCM?
It should work but I haven’t done it myself
@@LowbuckLS Thanks buddy. Really good content on your channel. Lastly, from your experience, after a VIN has been programmed into a used PCM, would the key need to be relearned do you think?
@@xpresscarparts73 I’m actually not sure about that one, I’ve only reprogrammed a BCM, never done a PCM myself
Does Windows 10 work better than windows 7 6 bit for SPS programming. Im getting an error when selecting the vehicle Error E4403. Tech2win works perfectly.
Not sure, I’ve never seen that error before.
@@LowbuckLS In what order was the programs installed and which updates? Do you recommend windows 10 install?
i want to buy that thing ...for ford mazda ...but i have two main questions .....some people say they cant install it on the same laptop ...is it possible to install it ...and a second thing is ,,,,,does this program lock after a while ? does it need updates? do i have to update it every now and then ?....and another one .....is it for all ford and mazda vehicles .....europe ? america and asia australia ?
I have no experience with the Ford/Mazda version of the VCX Nano. I have had the GM version for about a year and it hasn’t locked, there was one firmware update from VCX Nano. Not sure what you mean about installing it on the same laptop, I installed it on my laptop without any problems other than the virus/malware issue I mention in the video
@@LowbuckLS in some diagnostic devices they say we must turn off the wifi every time we use it ,,,in order not to connect on the internet ...my diagnostic devices doesn't have that problem with that ...i dont know about the vx diag
good afternoon friend. how are you? my vxdiag gm device appears to me the license expired. could you help me fix this. please
@@wangwang2003 thanks friend
I have had nothing but issue after issue installing this software. I just don't see what I am doing wrong.

cant seem to find the file on your website ?
I don’t have the file up there yet, shoot me an email at randy@lowbuckls.com and I’ll send it to you. Will try and get it up on the website soon.
The files should be available now at :lowbuckls.com/vx-manager-files-for-vcx-nano/
This might be a noob question but are all the licenses to use the nano included when you buy it?
Yes everything you need is included. The process has changed a bit though, I need to do an updated video for 2024
@@LowbuckLS I appreciate the swift response and your knowledge. I wouldn't realize the process would change a lot from year to year. =/ I am on the fence if I wanna, "turn left and buy one of these" or "turn right and buy a decent scan tool best suited for gm" or just "turn around and drive something much older without a ton of electronics." All your knowledge and effort is appreciated however. Thanks again.
@@LowbuckLSis everything still working the same in 2024 or alot more changes?
How do you get it to connect to PCM Hammer?
If you have it installed on your PC you should be able to select it under the J2534 menu under device setup in PCM Hammer.
Do we actually know that it’s a virus?or is it just windows being confused because of how much communicating this software has to do with different servers to verify vin and whatnot?
I don’t think it’s an actual virus
Well that sucks about the virus stuff I guess when I get one I may just setup a virtual machine to run it on
Best way to do it. Its common for all cracked software the cracked file is recognized as birus or malware etc vxbox is easy to use just download win7 or win 8 run on vxbox especially for gds2
Why dont you install the software in a virtual machine that will keep your computer from getting harmed
Where did you buy it from?
I just ordered mine from Amazon
@@LowbuckLS Are you in Calgary? I would love to rent that tool off you. It's gonna take too long to deliver and I wanna repair my van now.
@@jameybarisoff I live in Sylvan Lake but I make regular trips to Calgary to go to Pick n Pull and Bucks junkyard
Actually amazon had it and will be here in a couple days. So hopefully I can get her working. Thanks for the help my friend.
@@LowbuckLS Long time no talk! Hey I have this VCX Nano with the Tech 2 Win software they told me. I can hook it up to my Chev Impala and it works for a while. As soon as you start doing anything requiring much data transfer or live data, Tech 2 Win just crashes and closes the application. Why does it happen and how do you fix it? You can reopen it and start over then again in the middle of anything like live data it crashes and closes itself.
I always use old windows 7 laptop with none of my details on it for all this chinese cracked software
I don't think its a virus per say its more than likely a false positive script that windows doesn't recognize and thinks its a Trojan or virus which triggers that prompt, and by the way windows defender is trash so wouldn't really trust that either lol, Just my 2c
you lost me 10 mills away,,!
Thanks for the informative video.
