Cummins Inline 7 vs Nexiq USB Link 2

I am going to by by adapter for Cummins but I am confused between Inline 7 and NEXIQ USB Link 2…..
please any advice and what is the difference between both of them.
Thanks
Advice.. here you go
Mikeservice:
Nothing different other than inline comes with inline harness to plug into any Cummins harness if you can’t talk through oem side
Undeadmechanic:
Inline 7 is built by NEXIQ USB Link for Cummins. They slap their sticker on it, and give you the extra harness to plug into the backbone directly.
I ordered an inline 6 to get the extra goodies for benching and they sent a 7 instead. I’m not complaining, lol. I haven’t installed it yet, but it may have a different firmware than the “real” usb link 2. I’ll find out when I get around to installing it since I now have one of each.
silnoreki :
Inline have both blutooth and wifi and slighty faster even when looks same.Im happy with my inline7,just 2 cents.
Sdtruck12:
i can use inline 7 for everything from ddct to jpro and n14. from obd2tool to new works great for programming real fast. Sometimes cummins only like cummins adapters, like n14 m11 570 stuff like that in my experience at least
harobaua:
The two differences I have noticed are:
1. Inline 7 has wifi and bluetooth at the time, nexiq only one at a time.
2. Nexiq 2 has more protocols than Inline 7, for example the Inline 7 does not work with Hino, Toyota, Isuzu.

Which Tool is Best for Truck Diagnostic & Programming

Have search info for a few days ago because I want to learn about how to set myself up with Truck Diagnostic Tool/programming software and the proper tools to do my own work.
Topic: Looking for a good truck performance programmer
Purpose:
I want to be able to read codes on our trucks, address check engine lights, abd lights and whatever else.
Changing parameters would also be nice to do.
Truck:
We have 5 trucks. 3 of mine all have series 60. From ddec 2 up to ddec 4. He has an isx and an Acert. Our trucks are kenworth, Peterbilt and a intl 9200. Would also like cab side on those.
Budget:
I think a $4-500 one should fit the bill.
(Am I able to find everything I need rather than paying some company $4-5k for a tough book and some programming?)
Diagnostic tools looking for trucks:
I have seen a nexiq also the new NEXIQ USB Link 2 and a drewlinq. I think they all serve the same purpose?
Recommendation for hookup: (credits to Samsquantch84)
Laptop: You can pick up a used Lenovo T410 on the web for like $200. They are durable laptops not the best battery life. but get one that has an i5 processor. They are more than fast enough. If you get a laptop that is a little under powered it makes the programs run slow which is really annoying for doing diagnostics. They are pretty rugged laptops.
Equipment: Definitely the best solution is to buy an authentic Nexiq usb link one or two. But if within your budget, a good Nexiq clone of high quality (now called VXTRUCK) should be OK. It’s $200 around. I have to tell you, you need have luck with Chine clone coz you may have nothing but issues with the clone. Go to a good man of his word to trust.
The only real difference between the old one and the new one is the two is that the usb link two supports newer vehicles like ghg17. You probably won’t need it.
Also be careful buying one online unless it is a reputable source. There are some really good looking clones available that are deceiving. obd2tool.com is a supplier of the HQ NEXIQ USB Link and has great support so that is the only source I recommend. I have used it to program a new chip. Success.
22-1 22-2 22-3
Software: As far as software goes. Find Detroit DDDL, Cat ET 2017, Cummins insite 8.1 and you should be good to go. All are easy to get for free from forums or other place.  Also, have a try with crack versions tested by professionals. If you start getting into new Pete’s or kenworth’s like 2012’s(my date’s might be alittle off) and up paccar esa might be handy as well. It connects to the body controller side and allows you to control things like if you install led headlights in a truck that had incandescent you have to change a setting in the cecu for it to work. Also keep learning. There is so much help and information available on this forum from some of the right people. you will learn who they are. Congrats on trying to better your self. and if you have any questions just ask. International uses diamond logic build for the cab side. It’s not the most user friendly software, just like their trucks, who in their right minds uses straight thread o-ring to push to connect air fittings…errrrrr. Also you can go on
quickserve.cummins.com and register for a free limited owners plan which gives you access to parts and service manuals for up to 5 engine serial numbers for free. and dependent on your peterbilt and kenworth dealers you can register with them your vin numbers to a fleet e-cat. It gives you access to look up your vin numbers and view wiring diagrams. It can come in handy.

SIS is the electronic service tool that Caterpillar dealers, customers and employees rely on for their parts and service information needs. SIS provides information for all Caterpillar machines and engines from 1977. SIS is available on the Internet, DVDs and a network version based on the DVD standalone application.
CAT SIS Web is updated continually and is the most complete and up to date version of SIS. SIS DVD and Network SIS use the same information that is located on the monthly data DVD’S. The time required to stage and ship the DVD’S to Dealer’s and Customer’s accounts for the delay in information that may be available from SIS DVD/Network.
SIS DVD is the standalone version of SIS and is required when the Caterpillar Inc. server for either SIS Web or the Dealer server for Network SIS is not available. Field Mechanics may be the largest group that uses SIS DVD. All three versions of SIS require an Internet Browser to display SIS information.

The difference of DTS-monaco and Vediamo

DTS-monaco and Vediamo are added to SDconnect C4 software since 12-2017.
13-1
but what is DTS-monaco and what is Vediamo? And what\s the difference?
Look here:
13-2
What is DTS-monaco:
DTS Monaco is universal Engineering Tester for Diagnostic and Control Functions of Vehicle ECUs. The name Monaco is derived from Modular Analyzer for Vehicle Communication. DTS Monaco comprehensively covers all tasks in the areas of engineering, testing and preparation of manufacturing tests:
* diagnostics
* analysis
* OBD
* flash programming
* measuring
* parameterizing
* residual bus simulation
* OTX
DTS Monaco is based on standards such as ODX, OTX and UDS
13-3
What is Vediamo:
Vediamo Software is used by the plant engineers to develop diagnosis and engineering software, which is now used by Xentry and DAS, is based on the Mercedes Star Diagnostic super engineering version developed and delivered to the general customer service dealers’ use.
The use of MB super engineering version has no limitation in diagnosis / modification / programming function are open which cannot be through the VEDOC (the original application code changes with flow) can be free to increase or decrease the SA code, modify the objective, for example: the increase of vehicles equipped with SA500 electric folding mirrors, commonly known as the Xentry and DAS development mode: open data project version in 2010 after the release, increase the number of functional limitations. So we will meet the vehicle version is too new to be into the control unit in use, or are unable to do any special modifications to the control unit.
For example: W204/2122012 instrument to modify the area family configuration, or open other resource advantage function. Diagnosis / Mercedes super engineering version of the code with code / modification / programming database using the Xentry database, so the Mercedes Benz super engineering version is determined with the Xentry version, as long as the database is new and can be used in new models.
What’s the difference of DTS-monaco and Vediamo:
13-4

DTS-monaco vs. Vediamo
Functions DTS-monaco Vediamo
All cars have one key code access Yes No
Vehicle control unit software,One key storage Yes No
Car fault codes reading Yes No
Data exchange Yes No
Quick test Yes No
Single control unit keys off-set code Yes No
Offline programming Yes Yes
Increase reduced SA codes Yes Yes
Personalize the control unit parameters Yes Yes

In summary, DTS-monaco wins!

Do you know what LAUNCH ICARSCAN can do?

If you buy the actual iCarScan – it comes with a license to download 5 manufacturer’s diagnostics software with 3 special functions . That’s not models – it’s the entire line of each manufacturer (Toyota includes Lexus.. etc.) That is included in the price. You also can download 3 basic “functions” software – things like resetting oil reminders for any car, etc.
icarscan-1
The value of this vs about everything else is – it’s not VIN# limited (Durametic only allows 3 VIN#’s to be used on their DIY version, and the pro version is very expensive), and it covers more than just Porsche.
The software isn’t perfect, but it is pretty darn good, and provides live data streams that are valuable in figuring out why a certain trouble code may be set..
icarscan-2
Plus since the software runs on a cell phone, you can toss this in your door pocket and have diagnostics on the fly whenever you want to. No need to lug a computer around.
