How to Install Honda HDS Cable on Windows 10 64bit?

 Many people asking how to set up Honda HDS software for Xhorse HDS cable on Windows 10. Here’s the instruction shared by one of our customers.

To connect and work, you need to install the Honda HDS program.
It’s simple, if you have an earlier version of Windows, you will have to tinker a little for Win10.

 

The procedure here is for version 3.101.019. Didn’t test other versions. You are at your risk.

3.101.019 can be downloaded here for free.

 

1. Extract the archive.
2. Go to the extracted folder “Honda HDS 3.101.019 \ HDS PC”, run “Setup.exe”

Important! Disable Anti-Virus before installation or add it to the exclusions.
Select the Europe region. The dealer code is 208342, in my opinion you can do anything.
3. Select software language
4. We are waiting for the end of the installation. Do not start HDS afterwards.
5. Next, look in the extracted folder “Honda HDS 3.101.019 “, run the patch “HIMGNA.exe”
6. In the folder “Honda HDS 3.101.019 “, extract the contents of XHorse.zip Extract to the root of the C drive! Add Anti-virus
7. Next, connect the HDS cable. Do not update in any case. 
A new device “M-VCI” appears.
Install the drivers manually from the XHorse folder. Important! Disconnect the Internet because Win10 will automatically find and install the drivers. They won’t work! If Win10 automatically installed drivers from the network, then remove the installed devices (USB Serial converter and USB Serial Port) and remove their drivers. Then connect the cable, it will appear in M-VCI with a yellow question mark, on which we manually install the driver from the C: / XHorse location. Do the same with USB Serial converter and USB Serial Port.
8.Next, go back to “Honda HDS 3.101.019 ” and run the registry file “Xhorse64.reg”.
9. Through the Add-Remove Programs we demolish the drivers of dealer scanners SPX MVCI 3.01.37. (Optional)
10. Launch HDS and select XHorse – MVCI in the communication interface
11. We are happy )
The program pleased me with its capabilities, it works slowly, of course, but this is not a big problem, it works.
Hope it helps.

What’s new on Honda CR-V?

The Honda CR-V is a vehicle of the SUV range, developed since 1996 by the Japanese manufacturer Honda . The meaning of CR-V comes from the English “Comfortable Runabout Vehicle”. The Honda CR-V was in 2012, the best-selling SUV in the world as well as in the United States … while Honda was putting this vehicle on the market in order not to compete with the Passport! These vehicles are assembled at the Swindon plant in the United Kingdom.

The first generation of the CRV dates from 1996, at the level of the engine there were 2 engines 2.0L 4-cylinder gasoline, developing from 126 to 146 hp. The first diesel engine for this vehicle will be installed in 2001 in the 2nd generation of the vehicle, a 140-hp i-CTDI.

A radical restyling is operated during the 3rd generation of the vehicle in 2006, with a much more rounded design. A winning choice that will make Honda’s SUV the most popular vehicle in its class.

In 2011, the fourth generation of the vehicle offers two-wheel drive, and a slight restylage of the body.

Honda has produced four generations of CR-V
