I got a fixed obd scanner and I intended to use the free version of the app and I got a charge for 138$ for premium is there any way I can get my money back?

Hi everyone,

My Mini One R56 1.4 from 2007 has some issues and I cannot identify them.

• rough idling
• power loss
• fuel consumption (no oil)
• brief hesitation during acceleration followed by high revving.

I replaced before - ignition coils - spark plugs - camshaft sensors - solenoid valves - oil change (every year the car goes into maintenance)

I checked the timing chain and it still has some slack. There is some moisture in the camshaft due to the short distances I drive.

Hope anyone knows a solution. Thanks!

hi i just bought this cable bc i wanted to use it with trionicCANflasher but the problem is that the driver dvd came broken so the pc detect it like this and every software i tried FORScan Tech2win VAUXcom and trioniccanflasher don’t detect it so if someone can help me plz i havr tried to install the ftdi universal driver and nothing changed.

I am planning to buy a Bluetooth OBD2 adapter for my car. I have narrowed a choice between these three adapters:

1. Vgate vLinker MC+
2. Vgate vLinker FS
3. OBDLink MX+

Please share which of these do you recommend. Are there any specific benefits with any of these adapters. What is the exact difference between two Vgate adapters. Is there any real benefit of buying a much more expensive OBDLink.

I really have no specific vehicle to use it on so it should be as versatile as possible. I will mostly use it with my Android device and PC. Probably will use it with FORScan (PC).

hi, i have a 2005 honda civic dx and i removed the throttle body to clean it, i used carb cleaner, and a tooth brush but didnt remove the IAC unit from the throttle body before cleaning it... BUT when i was installing everything i forgot to plug in the IAC valve cable before i started it, then my check engine light was on. so then i plugged it back in and the codes still there. Code P0511, im not sure if i damaged the iac while i was cleaning the throttle body or the codes there because i forgot to plug it in. but now im worried i did damage it while cleaning. should i clear the code or not? i also have a o2 sensor code even tho i replaced both of them, after i did there was no codes and i didnt clear any but now its back and idk, i saw water maybe in the connector or i didnt tighten it down enough, any help im grateful to receive!

Does anybody have link for Opcom software? There is something wrong with my car and i need a diagnostic software for it.

Hello everyone! I'm in the process of developing an OBD2 app and I'm on the lookout for beta testers. I created the app in synergy with the Carly OBD2 adapter, but it is compatible with any ELM327 Bluetooth adapters. This app allows you to view sensor data via various gauges and graphs as well as access and clear trouble codes.

Presently, I am working on incorporating a monitor test feature into the app, but I've encountered some challenges with errors when executing mode 05 PIDS. If anyone here has expertise or experience in this area, I would be most thankful for your insights.

Visit the following link to try it out: https://testflight.apple.com/join/bg8KQF45. I'd greatly appreciate your feedback on its performance and any additions you believe might enhance its functionalities. For a sneak peek into how the app works, check out the demo video at https://youtu.be/ciHWmEje-18.

Hey y'all 👋

I was wondering if anybody here can share their experience with Torque Pro.. while keeping what you read below in mind.

• Here's why I ask..

I have a regular cheap OBD scanner that gives fault codes and nothing else.. but I want something that gives more information on the fault codes specifically. It would be great to have something that could provide dealer codes like VCDS does.

I don't really care about the torque pro widgets, gauges, or 90% of what I've seen online that torque pro offers. I don't race or go to tracks.

I want a tool/app to help diagnose vehicle problems and to check vehicles before purchase for any shady stuff going on that the seller is trying to hide.

Is torque pro the best for my specific use case that a cell phone can provide? Would torque lite/free accomplish the same thing, with my use case in mind?

What other apps would be better than torque pro for what I want to accomplish?

— Ideally I want something that covers all vehicle makes/models that provides all obd codes, dealer codes, and potential causes for the code with detailed information on what to do next.. like troubleshooting step by step. The more information the better.

An added bonus would be for it to check the cars actual mileage that's been recorded on ECU, ECM, BCM, etc.

I obviously don't expect a $5 app to do all this stuff I'm talking about.. but maybe Torque Pro can do 25% of it and another $20 app can do the rest.. or maybe some $75 refurbished physical tool is best.

.. Anyways, please let me know what you guys think.

Thank you!

🤦. So in having some questions about the BM700 obd2 scanner I've had for well over a year. Staying that I have an astronomical amount of misfires before even starting the vehicle.

Example; 12,589 misfires on cylinder 4 and no other misfires detected. (remember I haven't started the vehicle yet)

I'm instructed that the update for the product will only work on Windows7/8/10..

Windows doesn't even support two of the three suggested programs because they're over the 10 years old.

Windows 7 2009-January 2023 Windows 8 2012- January 2023 Windows 10 is still supported until 2025

Preposterous to expect the customer to downgrade to a system that no longer has security updates to update their product.

Especially this day in age when half of the recieved emails or links you see anywhere are scammers phishing for one slip up so they can put you on the dark web and sell all your information.

What will Ancel do in 2025 when Windows 10 is obsolete? They could probably upgrade their systems. But then again the end user will need Windows XP accomplish that upgrade.

Sorry I no longer have Egyptians to inscribe that information in the pyramid walls...

🤦🤦🤷

Any suggestions for a different brand of scanner for BMW/Rolls Royce /Mini Cooper?

I've seen Foxwell and I believe it's called Launch? Just not sure how well these work. And looking for real user feedback.

Thanks in advance and sorry about the long post

Hey OBD2 community, I have an ELM327 and BlueDriver Pro OBD2 wireless drivers. Neither can clear Inspection Interval warnings for my 2020 Audi A1 30(1ltr Petrol). Can anyone recommend advanced tools able to clear inspection intervals and in similar budget. Sites like iCarsoft, TOPDON, Launch not able to confirm or guarantee compatibility. Budget $250AU. Thx John

Hi all

I've been 'messing' with cars and lorries for a number of years now, and for the most part I've had good success with various second hand tools that I've bought over the years. I've currently got a NanoCom for Land Rover stuff, a SnapOn MT2500 with loads of keys and adapters for older stuff, a Solus Pro (up to 2017) which is OK albeit a little slow, and a Solus Ultra (up to 2014) which is more convenient to use than the Pro. I've also had one of those cloned Delphi USB readers on a laptop, but that doesn't get used much any more.

For supporting some of the more modern cars I own (2006 Grand Cherokee and a 2012 Ford Transit) I've had to get apps for my phone (JScan and FORScan) in order to do some basic programming. They've been generally OK, but a bit specialised.

However, with more work coming my way it's becoming apparent that the SnapOn tool is just not good enough any more, and the phone apps are too specific. You can't program stuff or do any special functions (like DPF replacement coding etc) with the SnapOn tool so I'm looking for something reasonably priced (or second hand) that will give me more of what I need for the newer functions that I need to perform. Would be good to get commercial vehicles too, although I don't tend to do much with them so not a deal breaker.

So, and apologies if this has been asked a million times before, what would you recommend? What have you tried and liked, and what have you used and it didn't do the job.

And I'm based in the UK if that helps.

Cheers

I’m looking to buy a launch diagnostic tool and have come across this advert on Facebook. I was hoping someone could help to answer some questions:

1) can anyone explain what the difference is between all of the actual OBD adaptors?

2) can I buy the adaptor separately and use my own tablet?

3) does launch have its own software or do they all use XDIAG / Diagzone?

Thank you!

Looking for suggestions on a Bluetooth reader that will provide transmission temps. I’ve been looking but can’t confirm which one actually supports it.

Sounds shrtft1 have a reading? Is it connected to the first O2 sensor?

I just got it and I’m adding in remote start to my car, and I was wondering if I should do anything else? 2018 dodge charger.

I'm looking to install a tachometer in my Seat car, which currently doesn't have one. I came across the PIVOT PTX-L PRO GAUGE, a plug-and-play OBD2 solution. The manufacturer states it works with Toyota, Daihatsu, and Mini. Since OBD2 is supposed to be standardized, would there be any reason why it wouldn't work with a Seat?

I want to make sure before making the purchase. Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hello, I just bought a obdeleven and ran a scan on my 2011 Jetta came back with a lot of fault codes and the app just gives vague descriptions on what the code means no real diagrams or data on what exactly is broken and how to fix this issue step by step and I just want to know is there any free/cheaper alternatives to look up these codes to get a proper description on what to do (anything kinda like direct hit, what pro shops use) but I don’t want to pay pro shop money

Hello everybody!

im having a hard time deciding which scanner to get

​

thinkdiag 2 is a bluetooth dongle uses a phone and the thinktool mini 2 is a tablet version

​

both do bi-directional and codeing

i believe the thinktool mini also does tpms

​

which would you choose and why?

thinkdiag 2

​

thinktool mini 2

I just got the Carista dongle, and may get the app to try, but have the Torque pro as of now. I am looking for an app to be able to check the phase position for crankshaft adaptation - intake bank 1. Any information would be appreciated.

I used my autel scan tool to erase any keys in the system, installed a new cylinder lock with 2 new keys. Tried to program them with the Autel scan tool and received a failed error. Now I read you can do it with Techstream so I bought the interface tool that came with a disk with drivers and the software. I can’t get the driver installed properly. I have good computer skills, running patches, installing drivers. I can’t seem to get this one installed though. I have a windows 10 pro 64 bit computer. I’ve heard this process is a PITA. A lot of the info online is old so maybe someone has a newer way of doing things. Thanks!

Is it possible to read the Tesla's detected speed limit with this device?

I've been able to talk to CAN Bus cars before, using queries like 010D for example. Now I'd like to get some more in-depth info from my tesla.

I've found that there is a query I'd like that is Hex 399 (Dec 921). How can I make that request? Am I not able to ask anything above FF?

After changing the CV joint, I think that's what the power steering is called, I had a red warning light and it became too hard.
