CANBUS developments?

[bozothenutter]

Have there been any new developments?
Anything that gives full access without having to use CLIP?

What do you want to do? Ddt2000, ddt4all and Ren0link will let you get amongst it and do more than clip will let you, however got to be a bit careful as a lot if it is french

I'm behind with the times now, Is a clip clone still the way to go for a DIY Renault guy or are any of the above a good alternative?

Clip clone is still good for diagnostics and reprogramming airbag config etc. The others are fairly difficult to use in comparison but have some good features i.e. reset vin and airbag computer crash data, force some programming features that cant be done with clip etc. Need to be careful as it can go wrong fast if you hit the wrong button.

Basically what CLIP can do, but without the hassle.
French is not a problem.
I'll have a look at those you mentioned.

Clip is still the best used friendly platform to use to be fair.

I have a clip clone you're welcome to buy at a reduced rate

 

[bozothenutter]

I have a CLIP clone, 32bit XP etc, etc.
Thing only works when it feels like it, or if I sacrifice a goat on a full moon.....

If its a cheap green board clone, they are terrible. However the gold board/full chip work well, no issues or disconnecting, had mine for years now.

Must be defective then...😔
Made sure I got one of the full chip ones

Same here. Pray to the China god's every time I try to use it.

I find I can read stuff but writing anything makes it disconnect and makes me go all sweary.

OBD scanner tool/app and ABS sensors - 182

I need to monitor my ABS sensors - warning lights coming on/off like it’s Christmas! So I’m looking for a scanner tool or app (iPhone) which will let me read what’s going on with the ABS sensors. Any recommendations? Preferably nothing too ridiculously expensive. But it need to work well.

cliosport.net

This turned out alright. Stand by everything I said but would emphasise the cons are mostly one-time-only e.g. setup or an unknown DTC whereas most of the pros apply 24/7 e.g fast, lack of disconnects, finds all 1*2 ECUs.

Perfect as a daily, with clip in reserve for the one time in three years where you find something it can’t do.

Where from?

appears I didn't......months of silence, then a reimbursement

Clip is still the boyo on original management. Have been using RsTuner quite a bit lately too and its quite user friendly, just cost of modules is the downside.

If your good with french Ren0link is great, and cheap. Works on modern windows software too.
