Problem:
Tried to use Autel MaxiFlash J2534 passthru device with Nissan Consult 3 software. Everything is updated and installed on the laptop. The Autel MaxiFlash software recognizes the j2534 but the Consult 3 software will not connect. Any solution?
Here is the clue.
Autel J2534 doesn’t support API 5.0 driver required for Consult 3.
Older version of consult should work 75-80 API 04 if correct. New Consult3 V241+ requires API 05 device.
Get a Topdon Rlink instead. Topdon Rlink is the way for r2r consult, inexpensive and it works. Rlink is the cheapest option.
Any Rlink BUT the Rlink X3 can use C3P+R2R and C4+ R2R no problem.
Topdon Rlink is officially certified passthru by Nissan.
Cardaq3+ doesn’t seem to be working on new installs, at least with Consult4. Nissan is aware of the issue, this was couple months ago, maybe fixed now. No issues with Rlink.
VXDIAG VCX-SE also works. You don’t need to purchase the software license for Nissan either. Just install the driver using the VXDiag software suite and there ya go.
