Ipd Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Granted, it was a bit of pain working with that supplier but I'm hooked up with the factory that makes them now so I can get them stateside for $30 with the latest firmware.

Timbo Slice Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Yeah now the only issue is finding the app for my blackberry. I'm really starting to hate this phone. I'll let you know, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renns Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 No dice on that.... I see VADIS downloads floating around on the 'net. Would running VADIS with this type of module allow service light resetting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ipd Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 No vadis can't reset service lights on 1998 and earlier models. Also VADIS does not support bluetooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-5Bandit Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 No dice on that.... You can't clear codes either, or are you just talking about the service light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ipd Posted April 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Read and clear codes no problem, just no clearing of the service light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbobucket Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Read and clear codes no problem, just no clearing of the service light. Will they work with an iPad, iPod touch, or an iPhone 4? I was thinking about removing my stereo and mounting an iPad hooked up to amps as a media center. It would be even better if it could be used to read my OBD II in my 96 as well...

SlapShot Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 so it reads and clears codes to boot eh? howz about dem volvo service lights? You need another cheapy cable.... heres my info from another thread including the ebay link for Vol-FCR compatible cables Cable: VAG-COM 409.1 USB (ebay) Drivers: FTDI (link) Software: Vol-FCR 1.3.6 (any should work) NOTES: Even though the program isn't designed for USB, it works fine with the above combo as long as your COM port is set up correctly. I'm not sure what the policy is on talking about it, BUT you don't need to install any usb patches with the most popular (torrent) of fcr. Simply, if you go into Device Manager, and find the Virtual Serial Port (doing this from memory)...all you have to do is change the port to COM1 and turn the bits per second down. I just ended up turning it all the way down but ymmv. Works resetting the Service Light, and pulling/clearing codes. I didn't try the other functions yet. Also, most of these cables come with a tiny cd-rom with a panda on it...i do not recommend inserting this into a slot loading drive haha, you won't get it out easily. I also have no idea what's on it...never bothered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
