Clip software

Discussion in 'Electrical & Interior - Security, ICE, Wiring Loom' started by Cazper, Feb 27, 2018.

  1. Has anyone ordered up the clip software on eBay and loaded it on a laptop and successfully made changes to their car with it?
    What cable did you get/use?
     
  2. Yes, have had mine for a couple of years and used it plenty of times. The exact one I bought isn't available now, but from the same seller as I used, there is this one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FULL-CHI...ROG-V162-DIAGNOSTICS-OBD-2-DACIA/322839593741

    The only hurdle to overcome is that it only runs on 32 bit machines, so I had to purchase an old 32 bit XP laptop to run it on, but I picked that up for about £50, and use it solely for this.

    The unit has worked reliably for me on my Megane, plus several Clios.

    I have one as well think it's the v163 i bought, a mate split split my hard drive so i have win 7 and 10, but don't get much opportunity to use it and i don't do computers

    We :laughing: well my mate struggled to set it up initially took him a couple of hours would have taken me forever before it would end up in the bin :laughing:

    It can run on newer, I installed a 32 bit version of Windows 10 on a virtual machine on my MacBook Pro, works great.

    What can you actually do on the MK3 with it

    Everything Jamie
    You can remap the ecu with it if you have the right knowledge, but mainly for most, it will let you test all the computers reset fault codes, i even managed to check that there was the right number of pulses on the abs rings on all four wheels :sunglasses: thought i had a faulty abs ring.
     
  7. Well thanks for the replies guys. I am thinking all I need is the software disc and a cable for odb2 to laptop....not sure if I need the shiny silver box on some adverts if running from a laptop
     
  8. APM motorsports sells one for about £165,might be a better option from a reputable trader in the uk
     
  9. You do need the shiny silver box :tearsofjoy:

    That's the bit that does all the work and translates it so that the computer can read the data.
     
  10. Foe the odb2 cable which port on laptop does it connect to? Sub or serial?
     
  11. Any USB port.
     
  12. Cheers for the replies. Will get one ordered today

  14. Can you use that with any of the Clip clones, or only those compatible with v168?

    I just got one of these off of eBay, was AUD$130 landed and came with clip v172. It works well, you just have to follow the install instructions exactly. I am running it on windows7 home basic (as it is a 32bit version I had spare) under VMWare workstation.
    Now I just need to get the clip instruction videos I have seen advertised !
     
  17. Still need to get myself a 32-bit laptop for this!

    VMWare is easier than a separate laptop and pretty easy to do. Drop me a PM if you need more info
