Excellent video!! You explain so well and clearly, muc better than most other youtubers! Thank you!

[@alandoangatiah5751]

You don't need J2534 for bi-directional programming. ForScan + OBDLink or V-Linker scanners can both do programming and confiruration of modules (and they aren't J2534)

Great video. Which obd scanner do you recommend for Kia?

I have a VW and Hyundai you saved me time from accidentally getting the wrong OBD and your so thorough thank you.

[@iamcarhacker]

Very welcome!

[@NotAGerman]

Well, let's wait now. Put up an order and my Veepeak should arrive soon enough. Who knows, maybe I'll even diagnose those jerkings my mazda 2 has been having.

[@alpk7032]

Hi, Thank you for your great and extremely valuable and insightful videos. Do you have any experience or thoughts on Mucar BT200 and Topdon Topscan (app based Bluetooth ODB2 adapters/scanners)? Would you suggest them over the ones you suggested in this video? Many thanks

[@iamcarhacker]

Hello sorry for the late response, I should have topscan for review soon

[@richardbosser3555]

Hi, thanks for the detailed video. I have a VW Golf 2015 and am looking to invest in a scanner that will allow me to mainly (1) Set Electronic Parking Brakes when changing pads and (2) see live data and (3) read error codes. - I am a beginner and will not be doing anything sophisticated. Which one in this video would you recommend for me as a minimum? Look forward to hearing from you. thanks.

[@iamcarhacker]

Hello either OBDeleven but you will have to pay for credits for doing parking brake operation, or if you want one without any extra cost than xtool A30: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rH6tf2qOf5Vmnsk&t

[@richardbosser3555]

@@iamcarhacker Thank you co much for replying. I will get one of these.

[@usmanahmed9264]

I clicked on your amazon link, however it couldnt find the link to the thinkdiag2. Is there any chance you have the link to the thinkdiag 2 device? Also is it worth buying this one, or is the small Bluetooth adapter for thinkdiag better?

[@iamcarhacker]

Small is fine also but you probably have to look on different amazon...if it opens amazon.co.uk fir example them check amazon.pl or amazon.com it should open your closest store but not always work or they dont have it

[@cryptobullboss]

Love your videos. Very well explained. What would be the best option for KGM (SsangYong)?

[@iamcarhacker]

Thank you but cannot advise I never worked with one of these

[@YonathanDesta]

What is the best for electric car battery health reader on Chinese cars like BYD?

[@iamcarhacker]

I dont really have any experience with those sorry

[@owelz]

When you do the ecu coding, do you recommend to connect the car battery to a charger? How do you personally do it?

[@iamcarhacker]

Usually I don't but I keep an eye on battery voltage (every scanner will show you) and you don't want to do any coding if voltage is less than 12V, even like 12.2-12.3 is kinda of low and I would use charger if I expect coding to take long time

[@UrbanXFiles]

hey my friend, great video. I bought OBDELEVEN next-gen for my 2024 Skoda Enyaq, 85x (UK car) I can not get it to work, I have connected support they told me they do not know why, as i sent a video in the support chat showing what i am doing. They just said they do not know why, they will let me know if they figure it out. I think i have possibly faulty device. I ordered basic original OBDELEVEN 1st gen for android to see if it connects to my car. Then I will know if faulty for next gen. Have you any ideas why it wont connect? Or do you have a recommendation for alternative OBD2 for unlocking features in my car. Like vehicle in motion? I do want to learn more coding as i want to fit front camera to my car but it needs coding, so when I understand how to do it then I will install it. Many thanks

Yoo bro! Ive got a question for you. I want to change some of the hidden features of my audi a3. When i change them do I need to keep the device connected to the car while im driving? Im thinking about OBDeleven or the OBDlink MX, but im not sure if the OBDeleven is fast enough? You said that i need a fast device like OBDlink mx if you want change the hidden features so OBDeleven is not fast enough for changing the hidden features? I would like to hear from you!

[@iamcarhacker]

Hello get OBDeleven. I am recomending obdlink for cars which obd11 doesnt support. And you dont have to keep device connected your changes willl stay :)

Is there any standard Phone OBD Dongle outhere, which can connect to other, as the engine ECU for multiple car makes? ^^ I think not. Never found one. Only for a few chosen car makers is that possible. Never saw a Dongle, who can connect to ABS or Airbag ECU for multiple car brands universal.
