I was able to use my clone DiCE unit as a generic J2534 device on Nissan Consult III, this may work on other software such as FORScan but I haven't tried yet.
This was on a clean install of windows 10
First install drivers for the DiCE and plug it into an obd ii port or power it with external 12v as it won't turn on with USB power.
I found drivers here: https://www.swedespeed.com/threads/dice-drivers.603001/
Then install Consult III (I used version 75.15) Don't ask me where or how to get it, you're on your own there.
open device manager and find the device name of your DiCE unit it will say DiCE-xxxxxx@00000000000 where the six x's are a six digit number. ignore the @00000000000
You can also install FORScan which will tell you the device name under settings -> Connection under J2534 Adapter
Open CONSULT-III_plus/System/Application/ApllicationData/Commonsetting/DiagnosticTool
edit the file by adding:
Code: Select all
[current_channel]
channel=0
[system_management]
access_mode=1
[device]
vi_device_name = DiCE-xxxxxx
[mode]
debug_mode=TRUE
debug_mode_vehicle_battery=TRUE
[vehicles]
tab_index=2
It will say that there is no connection, click "Select VI/MI"
You will See a device under VI, click on it and click "Refresh"
If you click "Connect" then the program hangs for some reason.
then click "Close"
Now it will show a green status for a USB VI device.
