I've heard that other people with Mini-VCIs don't have the same problems I had. The counterfeiters drove XHorse right out of their own business. The original Mini-VCI was made by XHorse, but I don't think you can even get an authentic one any more.Last February, I almost threw the Mini-VCI down a well the fifth time in a row that it "lost communication with vehicle" 90% of the way through a brake bleed procedure that had to be restarted from scratch every time.Ironic, no? It would talk to all the fancy other ECUs in the car, but couldn't show me the engine rpm. It would just say "lost communication with vehicle". With the Mini-VCI, I could never, ever get the active data list for the engine control module.That really was helpful, and it has gotten me through all of the maintenance on my Gen 3 that I've needed to do over the last year. Able to log from Innovate Motorsports 2.About a year ago, while I was feeling very indecisive about all the choices of cheap eBay dongles (mostly clones of the XHorse Mini-VCI) that might or might not work well with my car and Techstream, I was helped out by someone who had already been down that road, and picked out for me an old beater Windows 7 laptop and a Mini VCI and took care of all the installation for me.Able to apply GND or 5V-25V to OBD pins 1,3,9,11,12,13 or AUX 2.5mm stereo connector.Standalone datalogs to microSD / microSDHC card without a laptop.J2534 PassThru support with Windows DLL.USB 2.0 full speed device (USB-A/Mini cable included).Choose the adapter you need from the 'Reflash Adapters' drop down list on the right side of this page. For Mitsubishi, you'll need the adapter for most pre CAN vehicles which include the 5-9 Evo. No other Subaru vehicles require reflash adapters including Forester, Baja, Legacy, or naturally aspirated Impreza models. For Subaru you'll only need a reflash adapter for the 2001 through 2005 WRX, but not STi, unless you're working on an early non USDM STi in which case you made need one of our WRX adapters. We include a USB cable with each OpenPort, which is all the hardware you'll need unless you have one of the few vehicles that require a separate reflash adapter. Combined with our EcuFlash software, the OpenPort 2.0 is capable of reflashing a large number of newer Subaru and Mitsubishi vehicles, and support for other cars is in progress. The OpenPort 2.0 is our newest tuning tool hardware that is capable of communicating with most OBDII compliant vehicles using a standard J2534 interface.
