You can also log live data to a spreadsheet file on your harddrive. This is very useful solving intermittent faults. You start logging and then drive the car until the glitch happens, and then you can load the file in Excel or Libreoffice and see if you can find a sensor that causes the glitch.

I'm a Volkswagen mechanic so have used VCDS for years but just bought myself a Rover 25 as a daily driver, looked up rover diagnostic software and came across pscan. Great video I'll be purchasing one now!
Nice review, have been looking at various options for my MPI and this looks very user friendly, like the way you can hook up to a laptop screen for better visuals
Hi i have a problem where in the program does not detect the usb cable connection automatically. Any tips on how to troubleshoot? Im using windows 10. Thanks.
Hi. I used windows 10 and had no problems at all detecting the usb. Could it possibly be an antivirus or firewall issue? The best person to speak to is Phillip who created the tool info@pscan.uk
I have just acquired a 1996 MGF vvc car as well as the Pscan. After you select the petrol engine witch tap is for the MGF? Is everything else the same for the ECU, key fobs, and such? I have new fobs I want to program. Thanks for the video.
From memory the MGF is MEMS 2 the same as the mini so the process is exactly the same. Your best option is to check on the t-bar forum where there is a dedicated PScan support thread.
@@BlakesDen I did stumble around in the menus until I found one the worked. For now the biggest reason for the pscan was to program new key fobs. It worked! I now have 4, two new, working fobs. I will now order 2 more for my Son's F as only one came with his car. I now need to search around in the pscan for that secret pin code the own's handbook talks about. Any hints? Thanks for the reply.
Yes. The SPI has a pair of three pin round connectors; one is for the MEMS and the other for the 5AS. You can buy an extra cable with pscan and it will work with both ECUs.

It is really good, well worth getting
Just used on my MG TF to install fobs, great piece of kit.
Thanks iv been looking at this diagnostic tool for quite some time now and waiting for someone to do this review
Blake's Den Iv got a mini mpi and mgf vvc can it work on both cars or just one you Connect to if you don’t mind me asking
It should work on both. Here is a list of supported MGFs pscan.uk/features/mgf.html
Blake's Den thanks
Blake's Den I’ve Just brought a scan tool from pscan 👍 thanks for your review
Great!
That looks like a really useful tool. Great video. Thanks.
I Think The Aircon motor for the scan tool is for Japanese mini mpi
Nice review, have been looking at various options for my MPI and this looks very user friendly, like the way you can hook up to a laptop screen for better visuals
Yes, I would definitely recommend it.

Great work! My mini only had to be fob, having a spare is very useful.
The secret code should be on the read EKA menu
Nice tool
Giggedy.
Where to purchase this?

@@BlakesDen Thank you!!!
Pscan support for Spi?
Yes I believe that it does but will require a different cable to the one shown in the video.
@@BlakesDen I have an ecu MNE101350 that I bought on eBay but can't start the engine. thank for review.
