wiTECH Bandwidth Requirements

Posted on July 25, 2018 by wp-admin

DESCRIPTION:

*   Reliable Internet connection speed and consistency are essential for the wiTECH System to complete flashes.
*   It is recommended that the communication speed of your Internet connection be a minimum of 1.5Mb/sec (Megabits per second) for the 1st witech Micropod 2 Client.
*   Each additional wiTECH Client should have 1.5Mb/sec. of additional available bandwidth. Of course, the better the connection is, the faster the flash files will download before the flashing will commence.

ABOUT CONNECTION SPEED

*   Most Internet Service Providers (ISPs) advertise their Internet connection speeds in Mb/s or Mbps (Megabits per second).
*   However, when testing your Internet connection, sometimes the results are displayed as MB/s (note the capital B) which means Megabytes per second.
*   There is a big difference between the lowercase b and the uppercase B. If the results are displayed as MB/s then the number has to be multiplied by 8 in order to obtain the speed results in Mbps:

For example, if the speed test resulted in a speed of 1.5MB/s (note the capital B), then we would calculate Megabits as follows:

1.5 x 8 = 12

By this calculation, the Internet connection speed is 12Mbps (12 Megabits per second).

TESTING YOUR CONNECTION SPEED

*   Two popular speed test websites are www.speakeasy.net/speedtest and www.speedtest.net.
*   *   Both websites already display the results in Mbps (Megabits per second).
*   As resources on the network are used, bandwidth availability can be reduced. Therefore we recommend performing a network speed test from multiple machines simultaneously to capture true network speed.

Speedtest.net:

* Speedtest.net automatically chooses the test location for you; all you have to do is click on the Begin Test button in the middle of the site.
* The results will be displayed once the test is completed.

Speakeasy.net

*   The Speakeasy.net speed test lets the user chose the target location of the test.
*   *   We recommend that you choose the target server that is closest to your dealership.
*   After choosing a location the speed test will automatically begin and results will be displayed once completed.

Cloned Micropod 2 Review DRBIII on PT Cruiser & Dodge, wiTECH on Dodge

Posted on June 18, 2018 by wp-admin

I’m happy to report that my clone wietch Micropod 2 off obd2tool.com does work, this unit doesn’t use a HDD, just install witech natively, it comes with witech 17.04 and drb 3 as well. This is what I have.

Look here

It’s a small package, coming with a VCI pod, a usb cable and a CD inside software

Pins inside the VCI pod connector are built well and I’ve never had connection issues

Sticker lol…. put it on and it’s definitely same as the original

And also on the CD it has Micropod 2 software version 17.04.27 – it’s the newest version tested by their professionals.and also it has the DRB stub, DRB emulator, Enhanced DRB Stub and three versions of the Enhanced emulator.And DRBIII emulator with Micropod 2 is an old topic on the web. This is the tutorial i’m using. This guy has the same Micropod as me. It did work!

So far, I have the Micropod 2 on three cars.
DRBIII emulator + 2003 PT Cruiser: works (the main things lol)
DRBIII emulator + 2004 Dodge: works
wiTECH + 2010 Charger: works
Btw, Micropod 2 with DRBIII emulator work for old Chysler the year 1997 – 2004 (2005), And with wiTECH only works for Chrysler made after the year 2003

First, I tested on a 2003 PT Cruiser.

Basically no other modules other than the Engine, work. I cannot connect to the transmission, ABS, VTSS, SKIM, radio, cluster, etc. But everything in the engine module can be tested, actuated, etc.Luckily for me, I really only needed the DRBIII to write the Pinion factor for manual transmissions, which is conveniently in the ‘engine’ part which works.Maybe I really need to invest in an older VCI pod so that everything else works.

Then, I also tested it on a 2010 Charger under witech and works flawlessly, and got a 2004 Dodge pickup and under the emulator worked perfectly.

Edit to update:

I already called my locksmith, who drives an 04 Sprinter to try it as well.So I had a chance to test my Micropod II with not only wiTECH but also the Auto Scanner Tool DRBIII enhanced emulator. Both work good!
