    i-MiEV and Lexia 3 and Diagbox

    hjdlsnbc, have you tried any of the alternative and/or newer virtual machines found here yet? https://mhhauto.com/Forum-Virtual-Pre-installed-Images I'm curious if they're any better? I was able to dowload the french VM of 7.52 I think it was and got it up and runnning. Tried changing it to...

    Using the Lexia3/PP2000/Diagbox hardware adapter as a universal J2534 adapter

    Okay. Good. I was thinking and hoping that the Lexia 3 cable would be a good one too. But I'd only read one post (https://myimiev.com/threads/i-miev-and-lexia-3-and-diagbox.4042/post-41478) saying the person had confirmed the Lexia 3 cable worked with the Mitsubishi model of the Miev. I wanted...

    Using the Lexia3/PP2000/Diagbox hardware adapter as a universal J2534 adapter

    Great post. Thanks for sharing that. So have you used the Tactrix Openport 2.0 at all? Is this still the best cable/dongle to use these days? I'm trying to find the most reliable and most compatible cable/dongle to use with all the different software out there. MUT3,Diagbox and anything else...

    I'm buying a non-runner MIEV here in Japan!

    Thanks for that. Is there a particular recommended cable I can use for MUT/Lexia/Diagbox that's known to be working well with them and of reasonable price? I see a bunch on aliexpress but am unsure which to buy. Lots of MUT3 options at a wide range of price points, as well as Mongoose JLR or...

    Thanks. Anyone trying LFP cells instead of NMC? I'd read before that NMC are more volatile and at increased risk of thermal runaway compared to LFP. I'm hoping sodium ion figures out their issue soon so they become a thing. Zero chance of fires with those. Too bad their power per pound is still...

    Got it from amazon japan. I'll take a pic tomorrow and post it. Box was very deluxe. Seemed legit. I'll keep trying with it. Had to sleep the whole afternoon. Probably started to get a little heat stroke trying to work during high noon today. Yeah, apps see it in the bluetooth list as the LX...

    I'm buying a non-runner MIEV here in Japan!

    I got the LX dongle today. Bluetooth version. Got the apps to connect and say OK. But I don't have the MIEV in hand yet and it seems these apps are specifically for the MIEV. I tried it with my Prius and Leaf but not really working. Hot sun is killing me. So overheated and frustrated. Taking a...

    Very interesting read on the battery types. I am curious to see what this one has in it. She told us that it has driven now 200,000km 'very smoothly' on this battery and so she wondered if the prior owner had perhaps changed it out at some point. She said she'd ordered it from mainland like last...

    Oh, nice. Thank you for all that. Didn't know. I'll check into getting LED headlights back in it to save some power. I'll also study up on the different packs here soon. Thanks for the heads up. Whereabouts are you here in Japan?

    I'm buying a non-runner MIEV here in Japan!

    Nice. Yeah. I've also struggled with all the cheap knock off ELMs and hate them. It's time to go big as I will be working with EVs like this a lot in the future. Always wanted a really reliable one. I noticed this one had the most reviews on amazon compared to anything else too. So thank you for...

    Oh, OBDLink LX? Hmmm.. Maybe I should just get this instead then. I can get that in hand tomorrow from amazon japan. Thanks. Done. Thanks again for the recommendation.

    Oh, sweet rundown! Thank you. Sounds like the perfect path forward I'm grateful for that. Makes perfect sense. Can't wait to get it in hand. We'll get a flatbed to bring it home as soon as we can. She told us it's been sitting for the last 3-4 months. Maybe 5 now. So might be related. But she...

    Yeah, now that you mention it, ios is a PITA most of the time. Got to have the right dongle with the right software to ensure success. Android just works. I will dig out my old android tablet and give that a try next. I'd bought the lelink^2 because it was listed as the main one used by the...

    Okay. Great next step recommendations. Thank you. Will do. I'll share once we have it in hand and am able to confirm.

    Thanks. I bought hobdrive paid version today for $8.00 on iphone. Sadly in my haste I misplaced my lelink odb reader I'd prepared to bring with me today. And the other two didn't work at all. Ah well... I'm going to order a Vgate vLinker MC+ tonight if you say that's the best one to get to...

    This was the dead battery she had in it.

    I'm buying a non-runner MIEV here in Japan!

    Thanks. Yeah. We're getting it. She'll change the name over to us tomorrow. Then we can pick it up anytime thereafter. One thing though is that when we put it into neutral it is very hard to push the car. So I'm wondering if there is some damage to the transmission or motor? What do you think...
