Hey. We're all here to help each other! You're welcome. I love jscan. Have been using it for about a couple years now. I bought enough licenses so I could use it on our JT, JKU, and my parents Charger, Ram 1500, and Caravan. If you have any questions, let me know. And let me know how it's working for you once you start using it.

Yo brother, I appreciate the information but I didn’t tune in to listen to your mix tape. I honestly have an issue hearing you over the tunes.

[@GoChangeYoLife]

Yo brother. Try researching my channel. I made that video almost two years ago. A lot has changed since then. The videos have changed and so has Jscan. I made a more recent video last year where the only music is the intro and the rest of the video has no music at all. The video is also more in depth on how to connect and use Jscan. I'll give you the link so you don't have to trouble yourself searching. And no mixtape. Link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/amTFnqh3g8R6g5o

Thanks sorry for bothering you

[@GoChangeYoLife]

@@richarddiaz8248 I've been using jscan for four years. And since I've been using it, I've learned that it doesn't reset any adjustments that were already made. It just resets to make sure the new settings are saved. For example, mine is set for 5.38 gears, 37" tires, tpms - 15psi, and aftermarket turn signals. If I go to 40" tires and adjust for the 40s, it won't change the settings that are already in there for the 5.38 gears, tpms, and turn signals. Or anything else that I've changed. Not saying it can't happen, but I've never had it change any other values.

[@GoChangeYoLife]

Yes. You can plug in the OBD connector in the port, but you can read only. You can't write. But if you connect it to the port, you can read and write. And you don't have to buy the extension cables, but I highly suggest you do. It'll save your hands and knuckles and lot of pain.

[@victordipersia]

Why do you have to remove the extension before visiting the dealer....? what if you leave the extensions well tucked underneath...? I imagine the dealer will hook their computer to the standard OBD port which is rather accessible so they will not even see the cables tucked away... right....? (or am I missing something....)

[@GoChangeYoLife]

You don't have to remove the extensions. If I said that in the video, I mistakenly said that. As far as connecting and external OBD II reader, Having the extensions in place is the same as not having them. You didn't miss anything. Lol. You're good. No need to remove.

[@Jackal_Blitz]

Is this just one set of extension cables you're using? I've tried unplugging mine, but both the male and female ends feel pretty stuck up in there, and I don't feel much slack at all on either of them. Unless both ends move, it seems like the extensions would just create slack on one side.

[@GoChangeYoLife]

Yes it is. They're really hard to access because of that metal brace. I haven't looked at one, but I think the earlier JLs don't have that. But once you get them out, they only hang down enough to get the adapter on. But you're correct, the extension cables allow enough slack to where you don't even need to crawl under the dash.

[@Jackal_Blitz]

@@GoChangeYoLife OK nice, thanks man. Just ordered a set! They're not cheap, but it beats paying the dealership to do it for me every time I need to. 👍

[@BunnyTJ]

Hey man. Can you leave the cable and scanner in the Jeep instead of taking ot out again?

[@GoChangeYoLife]

Actually, I've heard of some that do with the Jscan, but it's not necessary. Once you change the settings, it stays. Keeps you from having to do that. That's why Jscan allows you to purchae multiple licenses. I use my same scanner in my parents Mopar vehicles and our JKU. Just used it on the JKU last week.

[@sikedmike]

I did what you said for the start stop hood switch signal and then my remote start won’t work.

[@GoChangeYoLife]

Some have reported that their remote start stopped working and some haven't. Mine didn't. Maybe it's the luck of the draw. And it's not because it's jscan. There have been Tazer and flashcal users saying the same thing.

The cables are up there. If you've never accessed them before, they're hard to see. If you take the lower steering wheel cover off, it will give you a little more light to work with. They're more to the left side of the dash (towards the door). Both cables are plugged into a connector right next to each other.

Could you technically leave the SGW cable on and not remove it, or is it better to remove it and reinstall those two connectors?

[@GoChangeYoLife]

You probably could. I think I read somewhere that someone left there's connected, but I wouldn't recommend it. Those wires are also a part of the canbus system which means it's part of the network of computers and devices in the vehicle that talk to each other. Leaving something disconnected may disable a device, part, or something else in your vehicle.

[@chap0801]

Very helpful. Thanks. You mentioned something about purchasing a license for your vehicle which is associated with my vin number. This is something you do through the app?

[@GoChangeYoLife]

Thanks. Yes it is associated to your VIN. Once you purchase the license and start using it, even if you change phones, the app still stays with your VIN. I've changed phones twice since I started using it. Also, I can't remember the price, but when I first started using Jscan, they had a 3 Vin deal, so I bought that and used it for our JKU and my dad's charger because it was cheaper. So, if you have multiple Mopar vehicles, that may be an option.

[@chap0801]

Thanks. Also, let’s say I program it to run new led DRLs. I hit “go” then restart cues? Once I do that I can unplug the v gate and the truck will remember my settings?

@@chap0801 Haven't done DRLs, but..... Yes. Whenever you restart, unplug vgate obd and sgw and plug the wires break into their original locations. It remembers the settings.

I have the OBDLINK Mx+ scanner. I swapped my OEM halogen drl/turn signal lights for aftermarket chasing LED lights. It gives me the “turn signal left/right out” with the hyper flashing. I connected the scanner with the bypass cables as instructed and fixed it to where the lights work correctly. Then after unplugging the scanner about the second time I go to turn the lights go out again until I plug the scanner back up and change the setting again. I purchased the license and everything just like you and another Jeeper said to do but it still keeps going back. Do I just leave it plugged in? Or am I doing something wrong?

[@GoChangeYoLife]

No. You don't have to leave it plugged in. Since Jscan first came out there have been a ton of updates. One of the things they changed is how you update. The way you update will vary depending on what option you changed. Some of them require you to do nothing and some require you to cycle the vehicle off and back on. Try doing the update again and see what they require you to do and then see what happens.
