Well, it came today, and the disc was broken in half. So I contacted WISH,
told them, SHOWED them the disc came broken. SO, they offered the typical
refund statement if that was acceptable. I said, yeah, or provide a link to the
software. Well, I got a full refund instead, AND, I was able to find the software
on my own.... Will try it out as soon as I can...

Doesn't work on Win10...

Forscan will work, just need to get a real ELM327 interface.

Wish you all the luck with that thing, could never get it to work at all. The disc according to my computer was infected. Good Luck

Where did you get Forscan? I got it from THEM, not a seller on-line, and my A.V. did not
detect any virus.

That's where I got the Windows version, it ran, detected the adapter, but said it's
not a true ELM327 adapter, so would not proceed. There are some China resllers
out there, modded the software to run with a knock-off ELM adapter, with the switch,
and some of them show positives for viruses when you go to install the software.

I have bought VCDS though China re-sellers, never had an issue.

Got it off flea bay China seller

Any way you can ZIP the contents of the disc and send it to me?
I would like to see how they bypassed the ELM327 clones....

In the mean time, download it from Forscan, see if it works with the adapter
you got. If not, it just confirms what the China ones do.

artsvettes73

I can't download to a zip because of the virus threat. I looked at forscan I got dizzy lookin for what I need to download.

artsvettes73

Did it download on windows 10? it did for me. Haven't gone out to try it.
