How to Set up wiTech Micropod 2 with DRB III Emulation

Here’s the customer solution to make Clone wiTech Micropod 2 Chrysler diagnostic tool work with DRB Emulation.

 

 

Intention:

Trying to find one micropod II that would work properly with DRB Emulation. Especially with Chrysler Crossfire.

 

Credit to Radius from Mhhauto. You are at your risk.

 

Test procedure:

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 – access to ALL modules.

I think the 2 devices which did not work are missing hardware for K-Line or some such.

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.
