Software version: GDS2 V2023.10.19 Tech2WIN 16.02.24 VXDiag VCX NANO Diagnostic Tool for GM Chevrolet Cadillac GMC Buick Hummer / OPEL with WIFI Support GM Tech2Win and GDS2, It can instead of GM original tool of GM MDI, support WIFI connection Compatible with applications that diagnose engines, transmissions, ABS, instrument panels and more
Have a 2013 Chevy Volt in Reduced Propulsion Power state with P1E00 and P0AFA codes. These codes can not be cleared through an OBD2 reader (or even GDS2) but require dealer level reprogramming of the HPCM2 module.
Setting up the VCX Nano on a Windows 10 Pro laptop wasn't bad but not straight forward either. The VXDIAG program on the USB stick that's included was corrupted. Downloaded the latest version from the website and successfully installed GDS2. GDS2 allowed me to see the problem that one of the 96 battery cells was lower than the others (hence the P0AFA code).
To fix the P0AFA problem requires running SDS2 (a subscription from ACDelcoTDS.com is available for $40 for 24 months for one VIN). To run SDS2 requires installing ACDelco's TechLine Connect (TLC). TLC is a monster (comes with the subscription). Make sure you have Windows 10 Pro and at least 8GB. TLC is the way dealers run GDS2, TECHWin and SPS2. After two weeks of crashes inside TLC trying to run SPS2 I was finally able to reprogram the HPCM2 and bring my Volt back to life.
Bottom line it was a challenge getting things setup but the VCX Nano worked at a fraction of the cost. You could buy an official Bosch EL-52100-AM (GmToolsAndEquipment.com) for $790 but you'll have to buy a subscription from AcDelco to run GDS2 or TECHWin. You'll also still need a decent laptop.
I've been through this Reduced Propulsion Power issue before while under warranty. It took four times being towed into the dealer for them to finally decide it was a bad battery module which they replaced. Now the Volt is out of warranty and I'm on my own with dealing with this issue. I'll probably be using VCX Nano often and so I had incentive to overcome the installation issues and get it to work.

The VXDIAG VCX NANO GM dongle and tech2win software works fine on my Win 10 notebook for $119.
I have a 1989 Cadillac Allante.
Mine appears to be able to reset my #3 fob to #1 if I get brave one day. Does scan all of the modules. Think you need subscription to make major programming changes.
Do not reacall “Delete All” as a DTC option, was in the Tec2Win list though. Could just change the #3 with laptop.
I just added the new fob and did not change anything else with the DIC. Just noticed the Tech2Win seems able to modify just one.
Also the notebook I am using has the latest Windows 10-64. Works just fine.

Like many others I fought getting the software figured out. I tried on three of my Surface Pro 2017 models (Windows 10 Pro) Everything would work except the Tech 2 software. CANDI not connected. Not matter what I tried. When launching Tech2 the popup to choose connection to the MDI wasn’t appearing. I looked everywhere for the usb drivers with no luck.
After messing around a couple days with it (frustrating) I got it to work with another laptop running Windows 10 Pro.
I think the problem is that the Surface Pro runs a usb 3.0 port and the other laptop has a 2.0 port. So if you only have a 3.0 port you may run into issues. A possible workaround would be a usb port splitter that supports usb 2.0. I haven’t tried this because I didn’t have one on hand.

I bought this to use it on my mom's old laptop and the software well installed.
The Tech2Win software is pretty good and helped me pinpoint exact issues with one of the sensors on my mom's minivan for the EVAP system. Used it on my dad's car to look at other codes to do further diagnosis of the shifter toggle switch for the lower gears and other issues it may have. Now on my car, 2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue, it won't work with it as the car isn't listed under supported vehicles. But other than those slight issues, I like it so far and it's perfect for looking to see which sensor(s) is/are bad and looking at codes for that specific light that is on the dashboard.

It works great.Worked as expected. Opened account with GM for $40 2 year subscription and programmed module. I have it connected to Chevrolet Cobalt without any problem. I tried to get the device working on different laptops, and was able to use in on a 64-bit computer running Windows 7 Ultimate at last. You need patience and then you'll find it so usable.
