CODIAC GODIAG J2534 vs Ford Th!nk City

(Temp reading incorrectly FYI)

Factory PCAN dongle is like $400 and extinct. This GODIAG had a driver pack that will drive your antivirus absolutely insane…

… If you can actually get it installed (I did), the next step is to hi-jack the pointer in the existing XML to reference your new resource…

… To get that you have to fight back Windows10 to allow file edit WITHOUT reverting (in program files), got that.

… Then you start getting scripting errors

lol – it’s like this every time. It will probably take about 3 days to just:

  • Get the dongle drivers installed & tested
  • Find those in the registry
  • Get the XML writable from read/execute
  • *CORRECTLY* redirect the XML pointers
  • test
  • ….

Step 1 is just shoving the driver you want down windows throat. To do that you have to know what the software expects (VCP, other)
