When I open the program and select J2534 the only options that show in the drop down are a couple of Autel tools (Stupid autel app installs every driver even for devices I do not have). I have manually typed in Bosch - MDI and changed the DLL location in settings to the correct location. If i click INIT with my mdi unplugged it loads the device explorer, if I have the device plugged in the program thinks for a minute then gives me an error "7"
Any help would be appreciated
What device are you trying to use?
Known problem with the vcx-nano and this tool
Hi Ironduke,
I have an MDI (clone), is a proper clone that updates with genuine mdi firmware, not a vcx-nano, I have one of those but it is a paperweight for Holden, will not connect to any Class2 modules.
I was trying to take a read incar, was not sure if this is purely for bench use
OK, it does read in car, although it has errored out on me occasionally.. Since you have an MDI I believe it should work ok.
I just checked and even with the latest MDI software it is still connecting ok for me.
select J2534 pass Thru in the 1st drop down.
Should be showing Bosch - MDI in the drop down
Go ahead and click init.
At that point it should attempt to connect, if wireless then a popup asking to connect will come up with hopefully your MDI as an option, if USB then it should just connect and mdi lights would start to flashing showing that it's connected..
Since your not seeing the Bosch - MDI I wonder if the other tools installed are effecting or corrupting the MDI connection somehow.
If you open MDI manager can you see and connect to your mdi?
