I researched the clone and here is what I found out from Nexiq and other sources… – the clone Nexiq has different Bluetooth symbol and manual I suggest you watch out for people on eBay selling Nexiq, Cummins or CAT Adapters, they too may be counterfeit… Buyer Beware! They are lower quality unless you specify the componants and if the adapter or any drivers or software crashes you are left out in the cold with no support from anyone except a call center in china where they have few if any answeres. The only thing that looks the same is the case and the name, The guts are not the same. The Nexiq Firmware Updater will not work and may render the adapter inoperable.Īlso for any warranty you need an RMA # and have to ship the adapter back to China, this is expensive and takes a long time so you get what you pay for. I asked if the firmware can be updated or if the Nexiq Firmware will install in the clone and I was told No by the Chinese seller, The firmware in the device can not be updated. Since you can’t update the firmware it becomes useless. I checked into this further and you are somewhat correct, You can not update the firmware on clones so as new software versions come out, they read the firmware and won’t connect ultil you update the firmware.
