The XS Evolution is a J2534 Pass-Thru compliant device. This means the hardware driver allows third-party software to communicate with the vehicle without needing proprietary software specific to the dongle itself. Actia Psa Xs Evolution 9780.z5 Driver

Error 2: The device is working, but DiagBox says "No VCI found"

Cause: The COM port number is too high (above COM9) or the software is looking for a specific COM port. Fix:

1. Go to Device Manager > Ports.
2. Right-click "Actia PSA Pass-Thru" > Properties > Port Settings > Advanced.
3. Change the COM port to COM3, COM4, or COM5 (lower numbers are better).
4. Restart DiagBox.

Prerequisites

• Administrative rights on Windows.
• Disable driver signature enforcement (Windows 10/11: use advanced startup options).
• Uninstall any older Actia or FTDI drivers.

The "Opel / Vauxhall" Note

If you are using this for GDS (Opel diagnostics), the 9780.Z5 works, but you need the J2534 PassThru configuration. REPORT: ACTIA PSA XS EVOLUTION (REF: 9780

• In GDS, select "J2534 Device" not "Actia."
• Point the config to Actia PassThru DLL.
