MicroPOD II<\/a> function: <\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. It can be used as diagnostic and programming tool by the dealerships. It replaces your StarMobile, StarScan, and wi-TECH POD, and enables your technicians to increase their productivity and provide world-class diagnostic services to your customers.<\/li>\n
  2. A separate Tech Authority \u00a0Subscription is required to access to Module Re-Flash Programming, TSBs, wiring diagrams, and repair information.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Intention:<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

    Trying to find one micropod II that would work properly with DRB Emulation. Especially with Chrysler Crossfire.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Credit to Radius from Mhhauto. You are at your risk.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Test procedure:<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

    Test 3 different micropod interfaces. 2 devices did not work with DRB III emulation at all, no matter which vehicle. The 3rd device worked and it worked on Chrysler Crossfire \u2013 access to ALL modules.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    I think the 2 devices which did not work are missing hardware for K-Line or some such.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    The device verified working is an OFFLINE ONLY version of witech micropod 2, but I only use it for diagnostics, not for programming as I do not have a TechAuthority account. So if you need one for online use this is not the unit to buy.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    How to get witech to work with Enhanced DRB III Emulator<\/b><\/strong>?<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

    1: Make a backup copy of the partition from the hard drive included with the micropod!<\/p>\n

    2: Install HDD in laptop<\/p>\n

    3: Set date to 01\/01\/17 BEFORE booting from laptop<\/p>\n

    4: Boot to HDD<\/p>\n

    5: Allow windows to install drivers, etc, as needed for your laptop and reboot as needed.<\/p>\n

    6: Once all of that is done, do NOT run WiTech yet!<\/p>\n

    7: Turn OFF internet!<\/p>\n

    8: Navigate to C:\\ProgramData\\wiTECH\\jserver\\data\\core\\stubs<\/p>\n

    9: Install DRB Emulator stub<\/p>\n

    10: Install DRB Enhanced emulator stub<\/p>\n

    11: Install K-Line stub<\/p>\n

    12: Reboot computer<\/p>\n

    13: ALLOW internet access<\/p>\n

    14: Run Flexnet software updater. Do NOT update WiTech!!!<\/p>\n

    15: Flexnet will find updates for enhanced DRB and K-Line<\/p>\n

    16: Install K-Line update first<\/p>\n

    17: Install Enhanced update next.<\/p>\n

    18: Once updates and downloaded and installed, turn OFF internet and NEVER turn on again!<\/p>\n

    19: Reboot computer<\/p>\n

    20: Attach Micropod to car. When green LED turns on, turn on car ignition<\/p>\n

    21: Attach USB cable to PC and witech Micropod 2<\/a><\/p>\n

    22: When Windows is done installing drivers, etc, you should show a network connection in the tool tray with no internet access<\/p>\n

    23: Run Wi-Tech<\/p>\n

    24: Press \u201cLaunch DRB III\u201d button in lower right hand corner<\/p>\n

    25: Accept EULA<\/p>\n
