Please teach me about jscan

Disabling Auto Stop/Start seems to be out of beta. I didn’t try it though, since I already have an eliminator.

I tried it and it still isn't working. Not sure what's happening with it.

Used the JSCAN to reprogram my tire size which worked perfectly. But my start stop started to act up now after I went for a drive and says that it needs to be serviced and my back up camera doesn’t work and when I try to manually click it I get the blue screen.
Another side note is prior to plugging everything in my unconnect system also updated. Any thoughts on this ?

Give it a day or two. After a Uconnect update, it can take some time to reset, and some items may have to download again.

Today the stop start was working normal, same with the back up camera, but there is now a third camera icon and if I click it I get a blue screen.

That's likely the Cargo Camera icon, which is an option that can be changed with Jscan.

Hmm, ok maybe I accidentally added that when I was using it. I’ll try one day this week to adjust it.

Still not working yet. I have been waiting patiently for it to work but I'm still pleased with the JScan. I am starting wonder what's wrong with me that the start/stop bothers me so bad or why I'm so lazy that just pushing the button to turn it off is such a hassle.

There are more important things in life to "Be annoyed by".......... don't shorten your life over it, please.

I still just handle it with the brake pedal and if I'm in a traffic situation with a ton of signs or short lights, it's a button press away.
I'll spend my money on fun or important stuff (like maybe a plow for the front of the truck, or a Rubicon steel bumper or proximity locks or 3/4" spacer lift or whatever)

Wow, there's a lot you CAN'T do with the iCar Pro - many of the areas I'd want to access to check out you can't even see with it. Should have ordered the OBDLink MX+ but for 70 bucks difference, wasn't sure it would be worth that much. Obviously it is.
Too bad there wasn't a list showing what you can NOT get to without the MX+
Looks like I wasted some bucks - plus the license for jscan is not 19, it's 22+

So for maximum use,
you have the cable for 35, plus 23 bucks for a license plus 100 for the OBDLink MX+ device.
To "get by",
it would be 35 for the cable, 23 for the license, 30 for the iCar Pro

I use this:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073XKQQQW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fab_wIqDFb6JNR43V
because I already had it. It was $33 when I bought it for my Mustang and so far, it has allowed me to perform all of the changes I have tried in JScan. However, I am curious now if I am not seeing something. What can’t you access?

Also, my JScan license was $19, and when I look in the app, it still shows that is the price:

Could that be a difference between iOS and Android?

 

[ShadowsPapa]

I'll have to reconnect and check again - it was a couple of the modules I tried that wouldn't show, said that the MX+ was required to access those areas. I should have made note of what wasn't visible.
It's not the software, but the OBD device it's saying can't access those areas.

Mine said clearly 22.99 and ended up being over 23 with tax!

Just checked mine at 7pm and no updates needed to the app and its still $19.

I bought my OBD because it was one that they recommended on the JScan app website and I assume mine did everything. Ive only used it the one time to change tires size but it looked to me that everything was working.

Then why the heck am I getting charged 22.99 PLUS TAX???

I'd LOVE to hear their explanation on that.

I'm paying 4 bucks more than the example above! 18.99 to 22.99 is a $4 difference.

I was going to get a license for my wife's new GC but I think I'll go a different direction instead. I don't think there will ever be anything to change, just to read so I won't need much for features just to read things.

There were some things the iCar adapter won't read - will get some shots of those later.
