We<\/strong><strong>\u2019<\/strong><strong>d collected some reviews for your reference :<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>V<\/strong><strong>xdiag and customized settings: handy!<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s handy for doing stuff like turning off the passenger seat belt warning (my dog rides over there sometimes and doesn\u2019t like wearing his belt) or setting the wiper de-icer to work for as long as I tell it to instead of a 12 minute cycle. Or make the door locks unlock with one press of the remote. All of this is stuff you won\u2019t be able to do (AFAIK) with any other scanner.<\/p>\n<p>I also rebuild wrecks and it\u2019s the only thing that will talk to the airbag systems so I can figure out WTF is making the light stay on after cobbling together a car from 2 or 3 others.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vxdiag Subaru diagnostics: works!<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Complete access to everything with the ability to read and clear codes and manipulate other features. More or less everything that the dealership can do.<\/p>\n<p>It just depends on if you think having complete access to all the systems in the car is worth it. It\u2019s nice to have when I need it. I had a VDC code that was for the steering angle sensor. Rather than go to the dealer, I just busted out the knock off SSM and calibrated it in the driveway.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vxdiag and new remotes: works!<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It should perform \u201clearning control\u201d of TCM after clearing memory2 was done. So, it might be able to program a new remote. if you already know how to use SSM and you know it well enough to tell if this pirate copy is acting up vs. the real thing. It\u2019s not like they give you a license or support, so you\u2019d better already know exactly what you\u2019re doing with it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vxdiag Subaru key programming: a bit different!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is a bit different from most. I make and program keys for a living and for a while the SSM was the only thing that would program the prox fobs. Not true anymore but I still paid less for the VXdiag with software than I would for a single piece of software for my T-code pro. . and there are 3 for Subaru. I have one which only covers the earliest models.<\/p>\n<p>By the way , you have to have a NASTF LSID or be very good friends with a Subaru parts manager.<\/p>\n<p>You need an immobilizer code (which is VIN specific) to program keys\/fobs. It does not change so once you have it for your car you can go nuts. Odds are your dealer would probably give you YOUR immobilizer code if you shop there somewhat regularly. They may charge you for it as I know they have to pay a couple of bucks to mama subie for them.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also an \u2018enabling password\u2019 which is also static and I suppose is a very flimsy extra layer of security to protect the immobilizer features of the SSM. It\u2019s 3781.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Expiry date and additional software: worthy!<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Someone says it will stop working after expiry date. Actually, don\u2019t know and don\u2019t care. mine says 2026, that\u2019s like 9 years from now. If I have it that long and nothing better comes along, I got my money\u2019s worth. I will say licenses for additional software titles (toyota, etc.) are only like $20 extra so I\u2019d speculate renewing the license will be cheap if it becomes an issue.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VXDIAG SUBARU diagnostic tool\u00a0SSM3 functions tested work good : 1.
