J2534 Devices

[Ecmbuster]

CarDAQ Plus is good but missing CAN connection with GM GDS-2 vehicles (Pins 3 and 11) MDI 2 is best with GDS-2
CarDAQ Plus 2 is much better and faster. It will diagnose over DOIP
CarDAQ Plus 3 is Bluetooth, much better and faster. It will diagnose over DOIP
VAS5054 is not good enough and is only J2534-1. Good for VW/Audi/Skoda/Lambo/Bentley
All CarDAQ J2534-2 devices work with VIDA
All CarDAQ J2534-2 devices work with Honda
All CarDAQ J2534-2 devices work with Older Nissan

All CarDAQ J2534-2 devices work with Tech2Win
All CarDAQ J2534-2 devices work with FORScan
All CarDAQ J2534-2 devices work with TIS2000
Modern CarDAQ J2534-2 devices program everything / All manufacturers
CarDAQ Plus 2 and Plus 3 work good with Dodge/Chrysler/Ram/Fiat (wiTech)
BMW and Mercedes interfaces work ONLY with BMW and Mercedes
Actia if not a clone J2534-2 is very good
Ford VCM 1 good to 2016
Ford VCM 2 good to 2021 (if no CANFD)
Ford VCM 3 good to today and required for secure gateway
CarDAQ Plus 2 and Plus 3 work good with Ford FJDS and FRDS
Depending on software level, CarDAQ devices work with JLR
Depending on software level and model year, VCM 1 and 2 devices work with JLR
New Jaguar / Rover models need VCM DOIP
Drewtech Mongoose cables also work very good.

I would like to bring to this analysis some other passthru devices on the market. Like for example:
Bosch KTS 590, in description compatible with Doip
Eucleia, T6Pro, with some very smart solutions in my view, including with Doip
AVDI, from Abrites
VVDI, says to be passthru too
and finally Scanmatik Pro2

For a Universal all in one tool The Autell J2534 Maxi flash will work on all protocols...
EXCEPT the BMW Platform's. But if u own a Autell no worries!
