Using Autel J2534 with JLR Pathfinder and Topix Cloud

Question 1: Can I use Autel VCI J2534 DoIP interface like Maxiflash Elite with JLR Topix Cloud? Or do I need JLR SDD DoIP?

Yes, you can use an Autel VCI J2534 DoIP interface, such as the Maxiflash Elite, with JLR Topix Cloud. However, you need to ensure that your Autel device supports the DoIP protocol to be fully compatible with JLR Topix Cloud.

Question 2: Has anyone used Autel J2534 with JLR Pathfinder?

Yes, some users have successfully used Autel J2534 devices with JLR SDD, but compatibility with JLR Pathfinder requires the DoIP protocol. Pathfinder needs DoIP to communicate effectively with the vehicle.

Key Points:

Autel J2534 with OEM Software: With an Autel J2534 device, you can connect and program with OEM software. Ensure you have the Maxi PC Suite installed on your laptop and register your device to connect to your JLR vehicle via the Autel J2534.
DoIP Protocol Requirement: Without the DoIP protocol, the J2534 device will not be able to process Pathfinder information.

Autel J2534 Devices with DoIP Protocol:

Autel VCI200
Autel VCMI (comes with MSUltra)
Autel JVCI+ (comes with IM608 II)
New Autel MaxiFlash VCI (comes with Elite II Pro)
Autel J2534 DoIP

Example Experience:

A customer reported using an IM608 JVCI that did not have the DoIP protocol and consequently could not communicate with a 2019 Land Rover. The lack of the correct protocol meant it did not meet Land Rover specifications.

Practical Steps:

Install Maxi PC Suite: First, download and install the Maxi PC Suite on your laptop.
Register Device: Register your Autel J2534 device.
Connect and Test:

Deploy the Maxi PC Suite.
Install JLR SDD 163.
Reboot and open the software until it prompts for auto VIN detection.
Plug the J2534 Autel device into the USB port.
Click auto VIN detection to verify recognition of the J2534 interface.

Ensuring your Autel J2534 device offers DoIP support will enable full compatibility with both the JLR SDD and the JLR Pathfinder, allowing for efficient diagnostics and programming.
