Godiag brand launched a super cheap J2534 cable (Godiag GD101 J2534) which works for many brands. Which is better to choose? VXDIAG VCX SE or the Godiag J2534?

Both devices can be used as j2534 interface for multiple software, Techstream, HDS, ODIS, etc. Also compatible with 3rd party software pcmflash, bitbox etc. They should work on any diagnose software meeting SAE j2534 passthru regulations device.

The difference is that VXDIAG not only works as J2534 passthru but also as an emulator. VXDIAG will emulate software like OEM VCI.

Godiag J2534 just works as j2534 passthru.

Here are some test reports from godiag users:

-It works well with pcmflash.

-Not well with HDS. Live data disconnect every 10 seconds.

– is not fully compatible with Techstream even after using their drivers.

-Xentry passthru is a hit or-miss. cannot access to all modules.

-works with Renault and Nissan software but needs to replace registry

– godiag works with odis without problem

– get godiag j2534 and used it with GM sps2 with my paid subscription BUT it wouldn’t program everything, only some of the modules I tried worked.

-I’ve tried a GoDiag J2534 Nano with Nissan Consult 3 Plus. I could not get it to work. It refuses to connect to the car made in Japan.

 

If you need something just to see fault codes, then Godiag j2534 works fine. It is very cheap. But this is not a universal tool for performing any functions.

Godiag cannot and will not perform any setting changes, cannot communicate with a vast # of computers etc and you cannot do any programming with it.

While the VXDIAG VCX SE can be used as J2534 passthru device for OEM online programming.  Godiag does not support DoIP protocol while VXDIAG does.  VCX SE also allows to connect via WiFi and WLAN. Godiag connects via USB only.
