What pass thru J2534
- Thread starter Marts
- Start date
I've got a VCX SE Pro works flawlessly as a J2534 device
I have the kts590 and found it fine so far using with PSA and I’ve used it with forscan but if you search this question has been asked already and @Garage Vitals answers in great detail about the pros and cons with passthru.
The KTS 590 is a good passthrough device - but if you don't need or want ESI to go with it then you are better off buying one of the manufacturer devices that are the same inside as the 590 Which is approx £1600? (JLR Pathfinder, Approx £680, Ford VCM3 approx £1200, MDI2 Approx £890)
So for instance if you do lots of Ford - Why buy the KTS when you can buy the cheaper VCM3 and have genuine interface for Ford AND use it as passthru for other brands.
Obviously there are many other J2534 devices as mentioned above - ALL passthru will have some form of limitation somewhere along the line.
As I have previously mentioned some software is better than others with passthru - I.E. Diagbox told me there was no update available when I used passthru but when I used the genuine interface 5 minutes later it updated no problem.
