VXDIAG Nano Volvo or VIDA DICE 2014 which is better?

 What's the difference between VIDA DICE2014 unit and that VXDIAG Nano Volvo? Which one is better?

 

Firstly, let's review VIDA DICE:

There's actually 3 types. Vida, Vida clone and vxdiag.

 

Vida is official Volvo tool. Most expensive but fastest to read your car.

 

Vida clone is almost as good as official Vida. Even looks like official Vida.

 

And the only real difference between genuine and Chinese made is the lack of Bluetooth on the Chinese one. But for $700 less, it’s a small cost. The Chinese dice are good now a days for vida 2014D, Vida online (paid subscription, flashing software), vdash, and for tuners to use for their programs. There is no other difference.

 

Secondly is the review of VXDIAG Nano Volvo:

VXDIAG VCX NANO device can be used with Volvo's VIDA software to communicate with Volvos from the early 2000s up to 2016or so. Free Download VXDIAG Volvo_2014D_EN software: https://mega.nz/#F!Mlx1XLjD!-tEaNyUIsHVJtjNqKlqRlg

VXDIAG Nano Volvo

 

Someone chose to buy one of these rather than a DICE or DICE clone because (A) these are a bit cheaper than DICE clones.

 

Attention:

  1. Just follow instructions and installed VIDA 2014D from the installation DVD that came with the device. It will work like a charm.

Someone tried to use it with a VIDA installation he had already done using a virtual machine image, it didn't work, I just kept getting an error message: "ERROR: SDK GetProcAddress!".

 

  1. The recommendation for VIDA is Windows 7 Professional 32-bit.

 

Pros:

  1. Can connect to the car and read it's details, fault codes and live data.
  2. Can also use the activate feature to turn on and off various systems for testing.
  3. Much cheaper than vida dice
  4. works the same as the Vida and Vida clone.
  5. used the device with VDASH2 and it also works fine for reading information and fault codes.
  6. Multi Languages: Italian, English, French, Portuguese, Swedish, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Russian, Turkish, Thai, Chinese

Difference between VXDIAG Nano Volvo and VIDA DICE 2014

Difference between VXDIAG Nano Volvo and VIDA DICE 2014

 

Cons:

  1. A little slower to read your car;
  2. Requires additional software to be install (it does come with all required software on a cd but can also be downloaded for free)

 

Conclusion:

Recommend the VX NANO Volvo as a cheaper alternative to a DICE clone. Just follow the instructions and know that it may not work on a VM.

DoIP MB STAR MB SD C4 Plus updated with new PCB model

 Some people have a strong curiosity about DoIP MB SD C4 Plus because what appears to be a new PCB variant they've not seen before (i.e the analog interface side has some pretty significant differences)

 

Take @ s65amg for example, I quoted what he said below:

CPU Board

https://www.obdexpress.co.uk/upload/pro/20090215990978452295.jpg

Analog board

https://www.obdexpress.co.uk/upload/pro/20090215990978452295.jpg

 

Here's what appears to be a new PCB variant I've not seen before:

CPU Board

DoIP MB STAR MB SD C4 Plus with new PCB variant

 

Even the analog interface side has some pretty significant differences (e.g. using DG406 from Maxim for the analog switches)

 

Analog board

DoIP MB STAR MB SD C4 Plus with new PCB variant

 

Found here: https://www.obdexpress.co.uk/wholesale/mb-sd-c4-plus-diagnostic-tool.html

 

Interesting because, if it's real, they moved to a module for the WiFi, which means that someone actually got ahold of the schematics/layout for one of these (or reverse engineered it from leaked gerbers), but more importantly, made a new PCB spin.  It doesn't solve any of the fundamental issues, but is interesting none the less.  Has anyone purchased one of these units yet?  I'd be curious to see more shots of the interior, esp. what's under the heatsinks.

Before anyone gets too excited, this board doesn't look like any of kind engineering par excellence -- it looks more like a cost optimized respin -- but that said, whoever did this had to know something about what they were at least intent upon trying to do.

 

And someone understand DoIP MB SD C4 Plus gave good review:

 

They've saved by removing a lot of components, but people who have it say it's going well, the wifi connection is simple and for the toolkit it's like it's wired. Below the heatsinks are the same components as in the previous designs: MPC/SPC 5200, network controller...
