diy ProTool Adapter Help

[mudhassir21]

Hi guys, I was wondering if there's anywhere in SA that I can get a ProTool compatible adapter. From the BimmerGeeks website the whole package is coming to around R5.4K that's including the One BimmerGeeks ProTool Master License voucher, One BimmerGeeks Expert K+DCAN Cable w/ LifeTime Warranty, One BimmerGeeks Bluetooth Adapter w/ LifeTime Warranty, One Android OTG Adapter.

If I can get the adapter locally I'd just have to purchase the software.

Sure, where'd you get it from? There's one at this website in SA:

MHD UNIVERSAL WIFI Adapter OBDII Wireless Flash - VAG Cafe

none

www.vagcafe.com

But the price is a bit steep, anywhere else?

Yea VagCafe is stupid priced, he obviously thinks people dont know how to use google. lol.

Go to ML Performance, i have used them multiple times for a few things, and their prices are decent:

MHD Universal WiFi OBDII Flash Adapter

It’s the ultimate wireless connection method for tuning and coding your BMW & Supra MK5 with the market leading mobile apps!

www.mlperformance.co.uk

they half the price of VagCafe, granted shipping and Taxes are excluded, but wont be much

Edit: depending on your wait time, and taxes, it may be better to buy local actually:


Shipping was more than i expected

Yeah, plus customs on top of that total.. I think I'll just have to bite the bullet and get it from vag.

Thanks for the help though bru.

is that MHD unit powered?

I see there is a big difference between what the average bluetooth adapter can do and the powered adaptors, I also need to return my current unit and upgrade to get more functionality.
There is a lot of options on Takealot actually

I'm assuming it is, since it's compatible with the Protool software. Yes there's a few on takealot, but not for BMW, the one I came across was the Launch ThinkDiag for around 3.2k, but that requires a subscription with Launch, though it is a lot more versatile, since it supports a lot of other vehicles and not just BMW.

I also have Bimmercode and Bimmerlink, I use a Veepeek obd2 adapter with those, whilst they are great for coding and diagnostic they don't offer everything Protool has, such as frm short circuit counter reset, which is what I need it for.

I use a cable. Works just fine. Unless of cos you are running logs while driving then cable is not necessary.
