Vcx se ista+

Anyone used a VCX SE adapter with ISTA+? It says it's the equivalent of an icom next.

Defang'd link incase people are interested.

I've got one as well as a genuine ICOM NEXT.

They do work but the support is pretty awful.

Yes I have one too, it works indeed. Funny enough, I had some issues entering programming mode and the support helped me quite well with it. I did a full istep level update with it. Also normal diagnostics is possible. However both is also possible with a ‘normal’ ENET cable.

Your car’s voltage needs to be above 13V all the time during programming mode. Else these connections problems show up.
