OBDLink LX Bluetooth dongle for Android, not cheap (beware of ‘low cost’ clones) but ‘does what it says on the tin’ and is proven to work reliably with every app known to support a triplet.

No, ‘add’ one by converting your AC into DC voltage, what kind of power can you generate? Yes you can, but only using DC voltage/current

There were however some successful projects adding a range extender pack to the I-MIEV, hence my suggestion to rectify your AC into DC and emulate a ‘second battery’…

The OBC isn’t active (apart from the 12V aux DC/DC section) when in READY (i.e driving). Regen energy produced by the 3 phase AC motor is going directly into the HV battery by running the inverter ‘in reverse’ Diagbox / MUT3 are the dealer diagnostic tools which allow you to download FW to the...

The warranty only covers a faulty battery (no longer charging to 16 bars), degradation, no matter how bad, doesn’t warrant any action by the dealer, unfortunately.

Don’t think AC charging while driving using the OBC is possible for a number of reasons. Better option (imho) would be to convert it to (360V) DC and power the HV pack/inverter directly, but that isn’t as simple as it sounds either.. Mickey

Hello and welcome to the forum A good start for your queries: https://ev-database.org/car/1096/Mitsubishi-i-MiEV Mickey

Hello and welcome to the forum There are a couple of options: 1. Go to a Mitsubishi dealer (approx 13-16k$, original range) 2. Find a wrecked I-Miev with a good pack and replace it DYI (coupe of hundred bucks, if you’re lucky to find one, 60-80% of original range) 3. Commercial upgrade to...

Like @alviseven ‘s OBC, yours seem to have been replaced, however it appears that these newer models were modified (different FW?) to be compatible with your ‘straight’ cable and don’t work with a level 1/2 EVSE. It should therefore possible to re-configure the OBC for ‘normal’ use with...

How much did you pay for them?

They are essentially JDM direct imports, @alviseven confimed, they don’t have a ‘proper’ VIN, just a chassis number. OP is based in Okinawa and his is a early JDM version..

No, straight cable, but intriguingly it’s OBC is actually from 2015 (long story, interesting read) No, ‘brick’ type Nope Yes, all type 1 granny leads should work with a ‘brick’ type I-Miev

@alviseven had a 2011 I-Miev that wouldn’t charge on a ‘granny lead’, he then took the OBC out of a 2010 non-runner and eventually managed to get it working but with the ‘straight’ cable only. He then swapped back the original 2011 OBC and the car now charges again with an EVSE (‘brick’ type...

If all else fails, yes, but I would have tried the “coat-hanger” trick first, plenty of YouTube videos for guidance

You need Diagbox/MUT3 to (re?) program a fob (remote lock/unlock) or pair a new key (transponder chip).

Hello and welcome to the forum There is a dedicated thread for the Troubleshooting and Repair of the OBC, with an index and links to all the internal circuits: https://myimiev.com/threads/the-tro...r-on-board-charger-obc-thread.4079/post-49885

Good find, well done, subject edited.

Yes, I use Diagbox 7.58 on Win XP; my Lexia cable shows as ACTIA USB Devices (USB COM Board Evolution Driver) in Device manager. I did use the CDs provided with the clone, even the outdated Virus scanner was on constant overdrive but who cares, it’s an old laptop only running Diagbox without...

There seems to be a possibility to use a full chip Lexia cable with MUT3 (post #1) https://myimiev.com/threads/using-the-lexia3-pp2000-diagbox-hardware-adapter-as-a-universal-j2534-adapter.5594/

You’re not finished with the original yet, it being left sitting for months means the BMU’s capacity value might be way off, a battery calibration would be a good way to test your Lexia/Diagbox setup…
