Correct, mostly. Using the Aston Martin icon, I didn't hit any roadblocks except for when I was plugged into the wrong port (OBD vs. Body). I was able to pull live data from the modules using the AM icon and the OBD port, but this is a different stream of live data than I could retrieve from the OBD icon. I could get some live data from the E8 and EE modules there while plugged into the OBD port, but not from $07E9.

Truthfully I don't remember if I got more live data on the OBD or Aston icon, and with the car at the shop right now I can't check, but I'd be glad to do it when the car comes back if it helps. I cannot read codes or data from $07E9, which if I read correctly you were suggesting is my trans. I wasn't sure if that was normal, but other members here said they could read from all three modules.

 

i saw this thread and thought it was the closest to what i am looking for. I tried running the update on the Foxwell and it is taking forever, any idea how long it takes? I saw a youtube video and it said 25 min, but mine is over 1 hour and nothing yet.

 

Almost positive mine was 5-10 minutes.

 

thanks i got it, turns out the update has to be done through the PC and not the handheld device

 

I'm sorry to hear that,you can contact foxwellstore.com customer service to get help,I know them

 

FWIW:
Good luck dealing with Foxwell. I went back and forth with them for three months, trying to return my scanner. They would typically reply once per week or two. It took a whole lot of "What is the reason for the return?", "How about you keep it and we refund your $20?", "What is the reason for the return?", "What is wrong with the scanner?", "What is the reason for the return?" emails before I finally gave up. I'm stuck with it and there's nothing I can do about it. It works great, if someone needs it. It just turned out to be not what I needed. Eh well. Let's say I won't be buying from them again.

 

I also encountered the same thing before. I bought NT510 from Amazon, Mine is a 2005 DB9, and found that only 2-3 modules can be read. After that, I returned the product and purchased NT530 again. But again, I found that there was no Aston icon. , Only the OBD II icon.

I looked for foxwell's homepage on Google and Facebook for help. A homepage called foxwelltool helped me solve the problem. (Their Facebook homepage often publishes some useful information)
They told me that I must register for a Foxwell account. Then download the software car type-in this case Aston Martin.

And they answered the question of "only read 2-3 modules", the solution is to update the device. The update must be done via a PC instead of a handheld device.

 

Yep - you need to download the AM dataset. I set mine up, and am able to read all modules I am supposed to on both ports (2007 DB9).

 

I have the foxwell NT510 and reads most [not sure how many there are...] modules... works great for a $150 gizmo... does clutch surface, misfires, e.t.c. as well as live data...
