looks ok for the price
just wondering if it does same as a launch daigun
and is there any other costs involved
and would the chinese clone version come with a working serial

thanks

So $5 per car brand but does it include a years free updates or is that per update etc?
I see from $100 free postage to $250 free dhl
Lower cost way to possible have a Diagun if you already got expensive iPhone or iPad
Looks like you put iPad in the holder to make it in carry case type thing
Looks nice but how do updates work?'

sideshow
9th March, 2013, 10:47 PM
i got my ipad and downloaded the app
has 3 or 4 apps
one for asian cars one for usa based cars
one for europe cars
so i dont think its 5 dollars per manufacturer
just per region for the app

this device is also found for 250 dollars
so i dont know why price difference so i asked if the serial that comes with device works
ive also emailed a chinese supplier i always deal with and asked them about it
just finding more info about it at moment

it's $5 per car not car brand ie opel/vauxhall its ie vectra $3-$5 then updates
an no updates are not free cheaper buying diagun already talking to supplier thats the words he said
if you buy cheaper than $245 let me know if you get a registered SN and password adapter for android $$68-$99 no cover so i would watch what you get for $99 for ipad thats just my opinion guys
i have apps for iphone an ipad you have to register the adapter with launch

Accident or not, I am not sure. I wanted to buy this and the supplier confirmed that key programming function is not there.

The reason for my post is just for the members here to reconfirm before purchasing.

BTW, did you ever use this to program a key?

Duagun 3 updates online etc but no one can tell the cost after the first year that's free
I wouldn't mind one but wonder if updates can be bought another way
It actually doesn't do more then the Diagun 2 and its not 24v so I wonder if there's a real benefit etc

sideshow
21st March, 2013, 09:20 AM
dont know about serial version
my daigun is only 3 months old
then i found 2 other update files and merged the vehicles folder all into one super file and had heaps of cars to choose from then i got shitty i had to go thru all icons to find car i wanted so i made another file with minimum cars i use the most
so i have 3 different micro sd cards
we dont have as much variety of carsd here in australia as other countries

if u cant update daigun keep it for 3 or 4 years then buy a new one its only 800 bucks
sell the old one for 500 bucks and your laughing
for the price of a daigun nothing else comes close compared to what it does
here in australia they have hanntech/ultrascan which i have old version off and they want 5000 for new one

they have g scan 5 thousand bucks will not do as many cars as daigun but does more things for the small amount of cars it does

carman scan sux ass and is expensive
snap on does alot but its 10 to 14 grand

so for 700 bucks for a daigun how can u go wrong

tested ipad thingy this arvo on my camry
data is good wont read immobiliser or many other ecus in car just srs and engine ecu it found

im hoping m,ost of it is due to software
in the end its similasr to daigun just u get bigger screen which is what i wanted

the ipad conencts to the obd2 bluetooth adapter
thats all u need u dont need the big red case that goes around the ipad thats just a heavy duty ipad case and it holds the bluetooth adapter

luckily for me the serial and the code for the serial works
i bought 4 cars holden toyota nissan and toyota
will test more cars soon
but hopefully the software will get better and do more stuff
still better to buy a daigun

anyway just buy a daigun if u dont want this
its basically the same software just conbverted for ios devices
in the end it will do similar to what diagun can
i guess prices went up to be similar priced to the tablet scanner launch sells for around 2200

just to let everyone know this has similar software to the daigun so whatever daigun can do this will come close to it
when i download the software the version number is similar to my daigun
they have just portaled it for an ipad
so i cant see y u just cant use the adapters similar that come with daigun anything obd2 to whatever
when i select nissan i can choose early models which means early 14 pin plug so it should work so hopefully one day i can test more cars

anyway i know this is mainly for locksmith and immob stuff
so not really on the right theme but i do alot of diagnosing and u need alot fo scanners these days to do a wide variety of cars
so scanner say they can do this but they dont so u need alot of scanners and hope by time u try 3 or 4 scanners on one car one will work
its all hit and miss
plus u also need people in high places so they can get u info u need or someone u can ask questions
it is getting harder out there and i find most auto elects round here are still in the dark ages
so im hoping in 5 to 15 years ill be way infront of all my competition over here because i actually spend money on tools

i really just bought this for w a n k factor
plus my ipad has 3g on it so i can google any problems i run into when i goto fix cars
and i can access my hard drive with 80 gig of workshop manuals and diagrams and now its a scan tool
so i can just carry my ipad now wherever i go hehehehehe

Hi. Just received my one. Can't register it though. I put the serial number and password and it comes up with "dealer code is error" I tried on the website too but it won't let me change dealer code. Any ideas

The android unit is only 69 us. Can not find soft not even apk to evaluate. Some says 5 dollars, key programming for some not for others, understand key programming goes through different than can. suzuki used k line until 2010+. Need to see what each can do for 5 apop. Ones that have key programming from android are worth every penny. Help people on side of road. shops can relearn lost keys. Breaks airbags. Thought of using bluetooth 327 but not all protocalls are perfect for wireless on elm 327 ok for one car flash like a quick flash type knock off. Ford would work on some, some others. But j2534-2 would be better selection. You could turn a old game boy into a key programmer, flashcart and dataoutput/input (just to do it because you could and the adaptor with switching hardware could work with other hardware.

i actually programmed a key on a corsa c with mine on the ipad very good
when using eobd lets you select different protocols
so far i have run into 1 problem when i tested my vectra vxr it wouldn't let me into the engine for sensor readings told me to upgrade software which i have so i emailed launch through my account about the problem an they replied that there was some bugs with vectra c/ signum engine live data an other functions it will be updated shortly
had no problems with other modules on the car was perfect
astra h 05 an 08 no problems at all
corsa b 99 brilliant again show airbag fault scrib
i always scan the cars with a scanner that works but don't delete or clear the codes so i can test the ipad on if it throws the same faults up
definetly impressed but i will not depend on it till bugs fixed

I see the price has increase again for the full eu and asia package. Gets expensive. I brought Opel don't think I'll buy any more. Software is very buggy. You need Internet connection to use it too. As you need it to log in to open up the software. So if the site goes down you can't use your tool. Used it on a Astra g, h and corsa c. When the software is working ok it'll be a good tool.

Hi every one, I got diagun III for 620 usd for a friend, I saw Idiag and I got it for me for 81 usd, the cost is not the connector, but the price of the app, app on AppStore is free, but I got to pay either 599usd for European and American cars except like 4 special brands and 499usd for Asian cars, except for like 5 special brands, and no Chinese brands, if you want to buy them each brand it is gonna be 66 usd for each separately. The software is pretty much the same, althoug it is kind of slower on iPhone/iPad I haven seen working diagun III but I have the older one and it is faster than Idiag.
I am glad to get it because I already have mor than this scanner to work, I take the connector with me and my iPhone as we'll to diagnose every where I am and that is cool for me, but if I had any scanner at all, I'd rather bought diagun III, it is cheaper, it comes with all adapters, it comes with almost every brand.
The plus to Idiag is that you can get the software till I assume 5 devices and I think till 10 connectors ( I'm not sure but 10 spaces are for the s/n connectors

im wondering if its due to the old diagun obd2 bluetooth adapter being big and has alot of smart things inside and when u choose different cars the adapter makes clicking noises
but the new dongle in the daigun3 and in my ipad app its a small unit and doesnt make any noises
i really should get off my ass and remember to try the ipad app on old nissans and toyotas to see what works
im pretty sure the ipad app and daigun3 has similar software

I have managed to change language. I had to switch language to english in iOS. English translation is much better. This tool needs internet connection for working. New version of main software is much more stable. OPEL software ver. 40.01 forget about INSIGNIA ASTRA J in 2012 but when you choose 2011 and 2010 in menu you can find it but EOBD only :(.

So to change the app language you need to change your phone OS language... how clever is that? Mine OS in portuguese but since the translatoon fo Idiag App for android sucks, I'll prefer english but there is no language option!

the hardware is absolutely the same.
so, buy the full package of modules for your 966xxxx and use PRO version of soft (there is a version on the internet using any adapter starting with 96)!!
don't use EasyDiag soft from google play it is poor - doesn't have many functions.

better off buy a diagun3
as its same software I recon and the operating system would be better on a diagun3 than a crappy app on an ipad or android

but it did get me out of trouble today
my daigun2 got rained on so water got in lcd screen so while I ordered a new one I had to scan a Mitsubishi triton 2009 model
after trying the proper Australian model I could not talk to air bag ecu
so I tried different country triton and found one that works

I think that problem is more a launch problem than the ipad app
I find that a lot of launch stuff u need to try all different models when one doesn't work

I agree, do not waste your time and money for iDIAG.
I have opel and honda activation. On honda it works one on 5 times.

On iphone you have to change language to english because translation is very bad !$& marks instead non english letters.

They ask money for every update.

I do not recommend this tool.

25th January, 2015, 10:56 AM
its not to bad if u just buy the dongle because it can do obd2 for free
this will only do the engine side of things on most cars
and u can slowly build the cars up
I was lucky I bought the cars for 5 dollars each manufacturer 2 years ago when this first came out
but the software is 2 years old so for me to update now its 66 dollars for each manufacturer
and when u look at the daigun 70% of the cars there we don't have over here
also the diagun 2 and maybe even the daigun3 has connection problems too especially when u go into bcm and cluster stuff
so for under 100 dollars u can have a basic scanner for powertrain modules
and slowly build it up
or you can spend 1000 dollars on a scanner that does everything
I should really test it more as I mainly do holdens
I should try it on Toyota and Nissan and fords
ill keep u posted
