The amazon page suggests the app might stop working after the 1 year subscription ends, any idea how much the renewal is, I have looked but can't really find definite prices anywhere?

[@acoustic61]

I'm not sure what happens when the subscription expires. Don't know if it will stop working altogether, partially or just not update. By subscribing to an annual membership, you gain access to the full system and function of all compatible car models during the validity of the subscription： 1-year membership need 99.95 dollars 2-year membership need 159.95 dollars 5-year membership need 339.95 dollars To subscribe to one car brand need 49.95 dollars/Year (after subscription, you can get full system functions and special functions of all compatible models under its brand).

[@kingbolen_official]

After 12 months, The cost of renewal is $80/year for all software packages.

Renewal price seems to have various offers on all the time - you can license just one brand of car or all of them. It looked like about $40 for one brand or less than $150 for all.

In addition to the switch matrix and five automotive bus transceivers, the chip also includes several power management elements (dc-dc converters and LDOs). I so prefer my Autel MK808, I've done so much with it including key programming on a late Peugeot 308 and Honda CRV 2017 but you'll need the pin code for the Peugeot.

Thanks for the review! I'm wondering how you chose this model? Seems there are thousands of OBD diagnostic tools and clones. Hard to know which ones are a good value. Also difficult to know if a tool will be fully compatible with all functions for a particular make and model vehicle. I currently use Techstream software with a data cable because I own a Toyota.

[@kingbolen_official]

Thinkdiag 2 work for all popular cars, it is best cheapest bidirectional scanner. But you need install app on phone.

[@sdgelectronics]

This one seems to be at a very attractive price point for a tool with bidirectional controls. When I was looking you needed a $500+ tool to do these things. This allows things like cylinder deactivation, control of valves, solenoids etc even whilst the engine is running.

[@pires53]

[@HwAoRrDk]

I would be surprised if that JV700 IC is a custom voltage regulator - why would such a thing be necessary? I think it's more likely to be an all-in-one transceiver/interface for multiple non-CAN protocols such as J1850, ISO 9141-2, KWP2000, etc.

Great little device for sure, I'm about to review it on my channel too, but I did notice the subscription after the initial free 12 Months isn't cheap, at around £50 a Year (or £125 for 3 Years) so I think you need to be sure you're going to use it well, and not just for clearing the odd DTC - nice review :)

It's a shame there's no lifetime option for subscription. Still, £50 is cheaper than a single diagnostic session at most garages.

I believe that’s 50 per year per car manufacture?, so if you have multiple car brands you gotta pay for each brand? So basically this is good for a car owner not a technician on multiple cars? I’m interested in this but I’m a tech and wanna use it on any vehicle.

Just use a resistor across the pins so it thinks there is a lamp present. Typically a 220R resistor will work to pull down the voltage enough to have the module be happy there is a lamp there.

[@sdgelectronics]

It doesn't show any errors on the dash or anything. It's only logged on the door module, so no big issue.

[@SeanBZA]

@@sdgelectronics Yes but the resistor also prevents the faint pulsing glow as the door module does it's regular presence detecting on the lamp, which is also there to set another flag for intermittent connection in the lamp.
