Xhorse MVCI Pro Works with SSM3 or SSM4?

 Does Xhorse MVCI Pro work with Subaru SSM3 and SSM4 Software?

 

SSM3: Yes, MVCI pro J2534 cable works with SSM3 without issue using proper driver.

Install SSM3 driver in mvci pro Device management tool.

If SSM3 does not communicate with cable, delete SSM3 driver and manually install Subaru driver again.

J2534PageInstaller.exe driver

Disable anri-virus program before downloading.

SSM4: Not working.

Here is the user report:

Installed MVCI Pro 2.1.4 and SSM4 on different Win10 computers but cannot communicate. The cable is green but not blinking. The MVCI Pro program finds the cable and installed the Subaru driver from it but it does not work. The weird thing is that it detects the cable with firmware version V1.6.2 and the latest version is V1.3.0.

To use Subaru SSM4 software you’d better get VXDIAG VCX SE Subaru device instead.

How to Configure Subaru SSM3 SSM4 for SM2 Pro?

 How to get the Scanmatik 2 PRO interface to work with Subaru SSM3 and SSM3 software?

 

Here is the clue.

SSM3 is configured for Scanmatik 2 Pro – Only Install SM2 Pro Drivers & Select SM2 Pro.
SSM4 is configurated Passthru – Only Install Passthru Drivers & Select Interface.

You need driver/emulator for you to use a j2534 with SSM3.

For SSM4 you can use any J2534 VCI. Only SSM 4 supports J2534 interface.

 

Download SSM3/SSM4 VM for passthru

Subaru Select Monitor 3 – 04.2019
Subaru Select Monitor 4 – 07.2021

For SSM3 the 1st thing you need to do is install Scanmatik Drivers, after start SSM3 and select SM2 USB.
SSM3 should close and when re-opening everything should work.

For those who want Scanmatik 2 Pro as an option in their Native installation, here is the setup file to those who like to have Scanmatik 2 Pro configurated to SSM3,
SSM3xSM2Pro setup
If you are using x64 then Download SSM3 x SM2Pro . rar  and run the x64 .exe in the VM. It should solve the issue.

The Interface must support old “PassThruSupport” (02.02 NOT 04.04) with registry entry. Then You must export this entry and import and replace it in Subaru Section under:
Right click and Export “PassThruSupport.reg” and upload it.

 

 

 

SSM3 and SM2 Pro some reports:

1.
Legacy 2004
Tested accessing immo, seems to work but did not have security id

2.
Tested on XV, Can connect to ECU and one other system

3.
I can confirm SSM3 is working with Scanmatik 2 Pro 100% (tested on Outback diesel MY 2012). I was able to connect all available modules (although a main purpose was i needed to do EGR compulsory setting).

 

4.
original scanmatik application easely connect to ECM and TCM. Read DTSs and params via ODB. Launch x431 too connect but can’t connect to Air Conditioner. FreeSSM can connet only to ECM and TCM.

Click on Command in the WinSpy window and enable the Enabled checkbox.

 

Feedback:

Before installation, set the date on the computer to July 1, 2021 and after installation, the date can be returned back.

To activate, copy the ssm4_loader.exe file to the c:\Program Files (x86)\subaru\SSM4\BrandCommon\Bin\ folder, display a shortcut from it to the desktop and run from it.

 

If you have other J2534 passthru interfaces, set up as following

 How to Set up Subaru SSM4 (Subaru Select Monitor IV) software with J2534 Device?

 

 

You can make SSM4 work with any J2534 capable device.

SSM4 is compatible with most SAE J2534 interfaces such as Autel Jbox, Snap-On passthru PRO, LAUNCH J-BOX, VXDIAG, Mongoose, Openport 2.0, VAS5054, GM MDI/MDI2, SM Pro2, Cardaq, Nexiq2 original, AVDI etc.

Just replace the DST-i DLL file with your device DLL. (and rename it)

Program Files/DST-i/Drivers/DSTIV32.dll

copy and paste j2534 dll (function library) into Program Files/DST-i/Drivers/DSTIV32.dll

copy original dll name and then rename it xxDSTiV32.dll

then rename your j2534 dll to same name as OEM dll thus tricking the SSM4 into thinking you’re using the SSM4 Device.

 

 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PassThruSupport.04.04\DENSO CORPORATION – DST-i]
“DllVersion”=”02.08”
“ConfigApplication”=”C:\\Program Files\\DST-i\\drivers\\DSTi_ConfigTool.exe”
“Name”=”DST-i”
“FunctionLibrary”=”C:\\Program Files\\DST-i\\drivers\\DSTiDV32.dll”
“Vendor”=”DENSO CORPORATION”
“CAN”=dword:00000001
“ISO14230″=dword:00000001
“ISO9141″=dword:00000001
“ISO15765″=dword:00000001
“APIVersion”=”04.04”

in the line “FunctionLibrary” here is the path to the driver DST-I, you change it to the path to the driver of your PassThru device. I look like this:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PassThruSupport.04.04\DENSO CORPORATION – DST-i]
“DllVersion”=”02.08”
“ConfigApplication”=”C:\\Program Files\\DST-i\\drivers\\DSTi_ConfigTool.exe”
“Name”=”DST-i”
“FunctionLibrary”=”C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\tcnptm32.dll”
“Vendor”=”DENSO CORPORATION”
“CAN”=dword:00000001
“ISO14230″=dword:00000001
“ISO9141″=dword:00000001
“ISO15765″=dword:00000001
“APIVersion”=”04.04”

But to work with PassThru will be only SSM IV. Only SSM 4, cars from 2014 of release. SSM3 is only compatible with vxdiag subaru, Denso DST-i or Hitachi HDS3000 interface. For ssm4 you can make any J2534 interface. 

 

 

Feedback:

1). Just Replace the Program Files/DST-i/Drivers/DSTIV32.dll.

file with the AbrPT32.dll file and rename it DSTiV32.dll and it works perfect.

 

2).

I have a cardaq and have it working with ssm4.

 

3). Genuine AVDI works, no problem. Both SSM3 and SSM4.  SSM3 works with AVDI no problem. Just run the set passthruSubaru.exe in your Abrites start menu folder and choose SDI in the Interface box menu inside SSM3. There’s no need to edit registry or anything like that.

 

4). I can confirm that ssm4 works 100% with nexiq 2 (original). Scanning, flashing, everything works. Replaced and renamed the dll and voila!

Here’s the modified dll file for Nexiq2. It’s already been renamed so leave the name unchanged. You copy it and overwrite the original file in :

Windows x86 : C:/Program Files/DST-i/Drivers/

Windows x64 : C:/Program Files(X86)/DST-i/Drivers/

After that, Nexiq2 will show up in the list of multiplexers-make sure you choose Nexiq Usb Link 2 USB and the pass-thru option anytime SSM4 asks you. I highly recommend you ONLY use the USB option and avoid Bluetooth and WIFI , especially when flashing.

ONLY SSM4 WILL WORK WITH IT, SSM3 WILL NOT !!!

VXDIAG Subaru Select Monitor IV FAQs:

Question: Upgrade Subaru SSM3 software directly to SSM4?

Answer: No, not possible. Please download the above SSM4 software and patch.

Question: Is the VXDiag Subaru diagnostic tool Worth it??

Answer: IMO it will be when you have an issue with any of the systems and can easily view live data and error codes. Or program a new key when you lose one.

Question: SSM3 had an error “can’t function without SSM4 being activated”…… I did upgrade Firmware once or twice in the past few months, this may have been the cause.

Answer: You have to make sure that you run ssm iii from the vx diag software, not just clicking ssm iii from the desktop or start menu. If you run either iii or iv from somewhere other than vxdiag you may need to re-run the vx diag crack and or reinstall.I don’t see anything that vx ssm iii can’t do that a dealer can do.

 

Conclusion:

I spend some time to read some users’ reviews of Subaru SSM3 software, they feedback they had some great success with changing some settings but sadly the access to all sections seems limited though…

” I initially wanted to change a few standards settings like the Lock/Unlock chirpand assumed the shrill chirp for other warnings was just a matter of getting into the ECU with SSM4 and activating it, it is there in the list when I look but I cant seem to get it to activate the Chirp”

“I wanted to activate TPMS but realise my module in the rear driver side panel that handles it is NOT a combined TPMS/Keyless entry type and mine is just Keyless entry.”

” I did adjust my fuel ranger to suit ACTUAL estimates to a more accurate percentage ( SSM4 allows this to adjust % of millage)”

=> So they are considering swapping one out to see if SSS4 will archive these performance.

Alright, take action to download SSM4 and have a try on what it can work more than SSM3. And any more users feedback, obdii365.com will continue write here for your reference.
