Comparing Thinkdiag 2 with that elm327 based devices is like comparing tank with mini cooper 🤦🏻🤣

@iamcarhacker Жыл бұрын

Well they have different level of functonality, but they are all Bluetooth OBD scanners under $200 so it is reasonable comparison in my opinion.

@WebbedPete Жыл бұрын

@@iamcarhacker Except ThinkDiag 2 is more like a Techstream dongle. J2534 is TOTALLY different from simple Bluetooth OBD. That's why the difference.

Great video for us just starting with OBD scanners :) For BMW cars which is one is better between VEEPEAK and OBD11 for ECU coding purposes?

@Skiman__ Жыл бұрын

Obd11 is perfect for VAG cars if not for the subscription. Its cheaper in the long run to just buy a vcds cable and sure it’s not as user friendly, but you’re not locked behind a never ending subscription.

@iamcarhacker Жыл бұрын

I think it is different for everyone. If you work on more cars, the VCDS is better, but if you need to work with 1-2 cars you can use Free OBD11 to diagnose. You still can use credits for few changes on your car if you dont need to code a lot.

@Skiman__ Жыл бұрын

@@iamcarhacker I agree, but having manual coding behind a yearly subscription is a problem if a pre-created credit option is not available for your car. I cannot justify spending €50 for using it once. A smaller subscription for a week or month would be more value, as I don’t see them stopping subscriptions anytime in the future.

what is the difference in-between the blue VEEPEAK you have in this video compared to the new shape black VEEPEAK BLE model I find for sale now everywhere on the internet?

@iamcarhacker 6 ай бұрын

Hello, I am not sure maybe it uses different ELM327 chip but cheap blue one I have works without any issues for all apps anyway so. When I try the more expensive one I will make review :)

@jackle842000 4 ай бұрын

If you have a thinkdiag can you continue using the tool without the subscription for cars that aren't coming out new after the subscription expires or do you have to pay that just to use the tool at all even on the cars you have been using it on? I don't need a monthly bill. I'd gladly pay for updates we're needed but a monthly bill is just not for me. I only need one here and there

@iamcarhacker 4 ай бұрын

Yes you have to pay every year otherwise you can use only basic obd functions (similiar to engine code reader)

@stuffdo_er 9 ай бұрын

The Carly was the worst money I ever spent on a tool in general. What a garbage product. It basically relys on marketing hype to sell and is only in it for the single transaction. I would go as far as calling it a scam. Used it once and it takes 5 plus minutes to fail at connecting to anything.

Hi Veepeak+Car scanner app ($25) is enough to diagnose faults. but I am not sure about coding. I don't have much experience with American brands, but I heard that they don't have much if any coding options.
