Hi
We drive on the same side as UK and Australia. The steering wheel is on the right side

Hi
I forgot to ask a very important question. Would normal scanners like launch and autel work on this car ? Or the gateway causes issues? I disconnected the wiring harness from the door. Can't see any crushed or damaged cables

Your mileage might vary.

The (very) budget tools I tried didn't work for me so I purchased ScanDoc. It works great on the OBD port but does complain occasionally about "anti theft device detected".

Project Gus has had good results using OBDLink LX dongle and an android app. See viewtopic.php?p=78617#p78617

Any modern professional grade scanner should give acceptable results.

I am using LAUNCH X431 Pros Elite V+ Pro3S+ Bidirectional Car Diagnostic Scanner Coding.
with can FD and doip
Disconnected the wiring harness at the left hand side door.

Now i heard that someone cut two wires in that car to test something. I have yet to find those cut wires.

what does the LAUNCH see when you have the wiring disconnected?
Any codes from anything?

What did it see when you had the pugs connected?

I will have to check that. It started to rain and the car is not at my place. So I could not carry out the investigation
