    Mr. Car Hacker,
    I went to look at a used car recently and I used an OBD2 reader and car scanner pro to read its data. There were many problems. The codes seemed cleared and car scanner said "evap system not passed since last drive cycle. Not passed since last DTC cleared. not ready" on all evap, oxygen, and catalyst monitors. I looked at the long term fuel trim and it was at +20% so I suspected a vacuum leak like you descibed in one of your videos as well. I walked away from the car. I owe you and other youtubers a lot of gratitude. You have saved me from buying two lemons. Thank you.

      Probably because it helps dealerships make more money.

    Hi! Thanks for this video! After replacing the Steering Coupler, I need to reset the Electric Power Steering (EPS) on a Hyundai Elantra 2009. My OBDII scanner doesn’t have this function. Could this help me or do I need an expensive scanner? I have a laptop laying around… if I could use it with a OBD2 cable and a software, that would be great.

    So, without an mst100 or other brand tool you can still remap the ECU, the important thing is that the ECU is connected to the laptop, right?

      Hello I dont know much about this but to check mileage you would need to get to live data in multiple control modules which is something only better bidirectional scanners can do...there are definitely differences between car makes I dont think there is easy way to do this without software like these scanners like delphi, launch, etc... have

    Let us say if a person was able to download and install software such as 'tech stream' and used it successfully with a cheap Chinese J2534 MINI-VCI cable. Could that person repeat that success with the same J2534 MINI-VCI cable and the software 'consult 3'? I am educationally curious here. TIA

    Wait, I'm so confused.. Is there not an ODB2 connector that fits all vehicles?
    Also, isn't the ODB2 software just that? Software? What's stopping someone from downloading the software from say the Snap-on ODB2 connector and using it on your laptop? Or running some kind of script that allows one to use different ODB2 software from different companies on say a laptop in linux, or maybe like an ipad? Has this not been hacked?

      How can this be a cheap tool for kids and cheap cars if it’s the same as a scanner? A scanner you hold in your hand runs on a computer with a touchscreen tablet. Although a personal computer as shown here is much more versatile you can run different software depending what you need in specific instances it does what a scanner can’t, both are great tools you have no idea what you’re talking about you can’t even compare the two
