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

    "It just has 'non smart key' option. Well that's unusable." Or wait... is it not a smart key? All the youtube videos I was watching for my fob type they were choosing 'smart key' in the Autel and other units. So assume this is a 'smart key' type. Just two buttons for lock and unlock. Example...

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

    So, my XTOOL InPlus IP819TP Full TPMS scan tool is not impressing me much. It was supposed to be a top of the line competitor to Autel's TPMS unit from last year. Hasn't been worth the $488 I paid for it so far. Wished I had bought the Autel. It had cheaper replacement TPMS sensors for...

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

    I've lived around and owned kei cars now for 35 years here in Japan. Not all are sport models. Most are gutless wonders that young women and 70+ year olds drive. My electric go cart here can beat them. :) Here a 'kei car' is any small car under 660cc if with an engine that doesn't rate the...

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

    Oh, that might work. But I'd need a newer OBC version year? What was the cutoff they switched to using the brick in the middle of the cable? And is the brick type identical between the Nissan and the Mitsubishi I wonder? IF so I may look into this. Also, I just found someone posted the saved...

    zipped i-MiEV / iOn / C-Zero 2012 Workshop manual

    Thanks for posting this. This is fantastic for local viewing. No more russian malware warnings! I was able to unzip it with 7zip just fine. Seems it only has the 2012 pages saved though. No results if you change it for 2011 within. I need to look into using wget to grab the 2010 Japanese...

    OVMS for Mitsubishi i-Miev, Citroen C-Zero and Peugeot iOn

    Hi guys, Anything new in the world of OVMS for the miev? I'm considering getting one of the new V3 OVMS modules for my latest acquisition of a 2011 JDM miev. I have an OVMS in my 2014 leaf that I installed 4-5 months ago and it is nice to monitor charging remotely. Checking the OVMS miev...

    In other news, I waxed the car last night! Even clay barred it first. I never do that for any of my cars. Didn't even do that for my Leaf. So I must really like this car it seems. Quick and easy too because of the size.

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

    You're not wrong about that. I'll make some time to do so. I've been trying to utilize all spare hours to get physical work done during daylight now that the weather is good for getting work done and the days are growing shorter. Sadly I've been exhausted with all the work needing to be done...

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

    Just seeing your last reply now. I'll check it and reply in a bit. So I can't find the key slot I see they have in other cars like the outlander. The slot where they put the fob in the glovebox when reprogramming a fob key. Do you have them in your mievs? Hopefully the process won't ask for...

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

    Found this nice page with info on the transponders inside the fobs for all the different Mitsubishi models. https://www.transpondery.com/transponder_catalog/mitsubishi_transponder_catalog.html I think my JDM miev is the same as the Outlander 2006-2012 models as well as I see a lot of...

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

    Oh, we also ordered two more key fobs of the exact same model. Should be here this coming week. I'll need to find out how to program them with Diagbox. All steps and tips appreciated if you know them.

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

    Canion is not showing the VIN for me. Even though it was already checked in the settings to display it. I did not check OBDZero yet, but perhaps it's in past screenshots I've posted of it. I'll try and check it next I remember. So today I spent the day playing with VMs of Diagbox 9.68 and 7.57...

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

    Where do i look in those apps? I don't remember seeing any VIN listed in those? Only the Topdon successfully auto found the VIN so far out of all the scantools I have tried.

    Interesting. I just found this VIN coder breakdown document. Source: https://owners.mitsubishicars.com/s/vehicle-resources/vin-details https://mmna-ssb.my.salesforce.com/sfc/p/#5e000002Fqtd/a/8W000002MEF5/SUDP9dftqgAhSefTwDKegCuoWOWVDl8vH_m4yEj8yk8 So for a Japan built MIEV it should be...

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

    Yeah, I couldn't get it to work before. I've misplaced it since. So until I find it I won't be able to try it with my new understanding of how all this works. I did get the full chip version of the cable talking tonight though! :) I downloaded the v9.068 VM version from psa-diag.fr and I was...

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

    Well I got home tonight and tried it on both VMs. Says it can't update the VCI and so won't proceed. It wasn't doing this when I was testing at work. So I wonder if when I switched the VCI around on different versions of Diagbox it didn't like updating the VCI each time with a different...

    LEDs or halogens

    I was going to switch to LED as they take less power and I'd heard they never die. I guess that's not true based on the above post. I'll just stick with what's in it now which I think are halogens.

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

    I finally just got the VCI cable visible in psa-diag.fr VM version 9.91r3! (Edit: Actually the r3 version came on a CD with one of my cables. It wasn't from psa-diag.fr. I'll try theirs again later.) I'm finally seeing it show up as Actia USB Devices > USB Com Board Evolution Driver (UMDF) in...

    What do you think of this Joy All 100v/200v EVSE charging cable?

    Interesting. My obc is dated 2017. I was assuming that someone had to have it replaced at some point because of failure as the car was a 2011 model. So... are you saying they dated these older obc units with a future date? My cable is definitely a straight, bare cable with two ends. No control...
