Hello all. I was looking for a specific Car diagnostic software package and I noticed that this type of software doesn’t come across often on the seas. are their any good places I can go to start looking for this kind of software. The software often cost up to 500 dollars or more and for me it would be a one time maiby 2 time use.

That might be because there are free and open source versions out there

Ive used it many times. You can consult, and erase errors code etc.
If you know what you are doing, this app is perfect.

Perfect to do some diagnostics

Awesome for sell a car to be able to erase the error code. /s

Awesome to buy a car too, andrOBD then ;)

Gave it a shot and almost anything i select it states unsupported.

What kind of connector are you using to the car?

The cheap OBD dongles are all elm 327 only support a basic error reading and clearing, and some basic engine metrics.

You didn’t mention what features you need. I’m saying it’s option that might work for someone who just wants to fetch some metrics from their vehicle

There’s is pretty much one sketchy site for this stuff I can’t remember the name of it, but I think it requires a payment to access downloads. Almost all pirated car software comes from eastern Europe.

I have found it but you need to send a email and then pay a fee to access the site. which is not something I am interested in

Well worth it. For the software and the help. I saved $$$ uploading fuel injector profiles for a Cat engine in a Freightliner truck & programming some features into an International Truck. The guys there are friendly & helpful.

Ahhh stealing from small companies now?

Define small.
