I bought a cable and software from a site called British Diagnostics. Complete rubbish, would not work and after one email from the company they ignored me. I got my £99 back only by using Paypals returns system.

I have now just bought a VXDIAG VCX NANO from ebay. EBay item number:233064378977.
I bought from this seller because, unlike most he is uk based.
When the item arrived the software cd was blank but the seller very quickly pointed me to a download site.
All set up now and working now. Note you need WINDOWS 7. But that is easy using a VM.

All seems to work as advertised using SDD I can see and clear fault codes plus read the advice to fix any faults. I have used it to enable "trailer module" which is handy as I have fitted a towbar and tow regularly. Also used it to enable the dipping mirrors on reverse selection, plus it updated the car software.

Well worth the £77.70, the stealer would have charged me that much just to enable trailer module.

Not tried it but, as it uses the same SDD software that the dealer uses, I would expect that it would calibrate the throttle body.

I might be wrong but it reported there was a software update, it then went online and downloaded software then installed it to the car.

That’s very interesting, I had presumed that it was off line only , so maybe those of us blessed with older cars that have probably never seen a main dealer since the warranty ran out would benefit.

I think it’s worth a punt at that price... I’ve probably wasted more on worse
