You are very welcome. Glad it helped

Awesome man! Glad it helped

Hi Adonis, Can I ask a favor? I bought a Friencity OBD2 Scanner Adapter from Amazon which I think is causing a problem with my Dr. Prius app. The app on my android will not connect -- it keeps saying it has a socket problem. Can you please tell me which scanner will work with the app? I appreciate your guidance.

@@johnguzak3611 yes, the one I use is a bafx Obdii from Amazon. The link should be in the description. But in case it doesn’t work, here it is : Wireless Bluetooth Diagnostic OBD2 Scanner Car Code Reader and Scan Tool for All 1996 & Newer Vehicles ELM327 Compatible OBDII for Android Devices ONLY a.co/d/cby1hQv It works perfect with the Dr. Prius app

@@AdonisAriasAdonis, thank you. I just ordered the adapter you provided. You are not only generously informative, you are faster than Jimmy John's!!!

@@johnguzak3611 haha I appreciate that man. That’s what I’m here for

Yea, you’re absolutely right about that. Great point.

Glad it helped!

Glad it helped. Thanks

No problem!

I appreciate that. Thank you, glad it helped

No problem, glad it was helpful

I am actually not too sure about that. Never really tried that feature. Sorry for the late reply

Very welcome

Thank you

I honestly wouldn’t know. My guess is no, but hey it’s worth a shot.

You are very welcome. And yes, the same company makes one compatible with iOS. Here is the amazon link www.amazon.com/dp/B078K54MT5/ref=emc_b_5_t If there are any issues, you can contact the company and the owner will get back to you pretty quickly. I had a few questions once I purchased my unit and he got back to me within a day. I hope this helps.

thanks for that. And same here, I have no clue and can't seem to get a solid answer online. The car is still running great and getting about 45-50mpg. So we'll see!

Just saw link in description

@@necro2338 awesome, I was just about to reply with the amazon link. As for the sub codes, I'm not 100% sure to be honest.

@@AdonisArias if you find out please let me know, I just ordered the product in your link today.

Thank you for that! And I believe so, my brother tried a different that only works with iPhone and it worked just fine.

Thats awesome, I'm glad that this video was helpful! I wish I knew about this when I went and bought my prius, it definitely would have come in handy with negotiating a final price. As for my prius, at 70% its doing just fine! I average about 45 to 50 MPG. I run the test about every few weeks and its at the same 70%. Once I start to notice some major drops in MPG, I'll then consider swapping the battery out. Hope this helps, and best of luck!

@@AdonisArias My dad had an 07 Prius and the battery eventually went out at 250,000 mi. I believe the car still drove it just threw an error saying that the battery needed replacing. The vehicle will start up on the 12 volt battery and then switch over to the 200 volt battery once it's started. My dad also reported that the vehicle was extremely anemic in the parking lot.

@@jeposton that’s pretty amazing. 250k on a hybrid battery sounds pretty damn good.

@@AdonisArias We did the math and the maintenance on the Prius was less than the maintenance on the Camry (96 with a 5 speed) money-wise. Prius repairs are definitely more expensive all at once though so I recommend anybody owning a Toyota hybrid to have a bit more setback for vehicle repairs. The Prius did eventually fail at 550,000 mi due to a high torque load torque module failing that was deep in the synergy drive. Edit-gramer fix.

@@jeposton ah ok. Good to know. I’ll definitely keep that in mind. Thank you. And 550k miles is damn good! Most cars won’t reach that. Gotta love Toyota for that. Was the issue with the torque not worth fixing?

Not a free app, I believe that the free version offers very little. I paid $5 for the full subscription. It’s a one time fee, totally worth it I think

@@AdonisArias thank u for your response 👍

Paid version. The free version doesn’t really offer much unfortunately

How much is the paid version?

@@NicoleeObrien1 I believe it was $3

Amazon, il link è nella descrizione. Thank you

@@AdonisArias l'ho acquistato ed è fantastico, ho sistemato l'auto e controllato le batterie, tutto ok 👍.. Grazie mille 🙏 amico mio per il tuo video. Ti ringrazio tantissimo.

@@Watch_Tattoo Certo. Sono contento di essere stato in grado di aiutare in qualsiasi modo

Haha it honestly super simple. If I were out there I’d totally help out. Honestly, what can go wrong? You’ll be fine

@@AdonisArias revving up my engine at the same time as putting on the break seems like it would hurt the car. and trying to find that sweet spot in the green zone sounds challenging. and not being able to interpret the results... and what to do if a battery block is bad? lots of questions and concerns.

@@mmedeuxchevaux based on the little bit that I know, this won’t do any damage to the hybrid system or engine. This is simply done to fully charge the hybrid battery(which takes a 2-3 minutes or less), and then draining it slowly using the different components that drain down the battery. And if the battery block is completely dead, that would mean it would be time to replace the entire hybrid battery. A company called green bean specializes in the latter. I’ve never heard of someone swapping out just one block, I’m sure it’s possible though. One of my blocks isn’t looking too good(no completely dead yet), so I might be having to swap out the hybrid battery soon. I will definitely post a video on it when it happens. I fully understand where you’re coming from though, I honestly just feel like this is a great way to get more info on the status of the hybrid battery, plain and simple. If you don’t feel up to it, you can always take it to Toyota or a local mechanic and see if they can do an extensive diagnostic, and hopefully they won’t charge you an arm and a leg Hope this helps

@@AdonisArias Thanks. I just paid a local highly rated Prius mechanic for an inspection on the health of the car. He said that there's no way to tell the health of a battery. I'm buying the car from a friend who got a green bean battery two years ago. I got the OBD-II scanner because the car is only getting 32 to 34 MPG. Doesn't seem worth it if I have to soon get yet another battery...

@@mmedeuxchevaux I’m no mechanic, but I’d respectfully disagree about not being able to calculate the battery health. And 32-34mpg sounds pretty low. I wouldn’t buy it

About 130k at the time I think

I believe about 130k

@@AdonisArias awesome man, thanks.

@@brendenirwin1237 yea, of course

For the life expectancy test, about 5-7 minutes. For the full battery test about a minute. Hope this helps

I think so yes. You will get a lot more information

Amazon

I don’t see why it wouldn’t

Which block?

@@AdonisArias you said you had a bad battery how has it been since then

@@DirtyDozenGaming78 ah yes, luckily i haven’t had to replace the block or battery. Still going storing storing averaging 50-52 mpg

@@AdonisArias you ever get the triangle yet and reset. the codes?

@@DirtyDozenGaming78 I have not. Negative

I’m pretty sure that the App will work with other types of Bluetooth obdii scanners.

@@AdonisArias I just ordered the OBDLink LX which seems to be widely supported by many apps.

I appreciate that! Thank you

Thank you for that. That’s a great point, I was stupid for that one :-/

@@AdonisArias I wouldn't put it that way, the garage door was open, and the tailpipe pointed out - it was more for your readers, not a criticism - not everyone pays attention! It is about the third video I have posted about the emergency brake - that notice needs to be added to the App instructions! that's on them! Thanks for posting the video!

@@jamesalles139 good point, the app should definitely have that as the first step. And for sure, I don’t think I would have done it the garage was closed. That would have been plain stupid lol

@@AdonisArias Thanks for the engagement here, all for Al Gore's rhythm!

Al Gore is a moron!
