Hello everyone, first post.
I’ve recently bought an OBDLink MX+ Bluetooth OBD adapter and downloaded the Car Scanner app onto my iPhone.
This combination is compatible with my 2008 3.5 V6 Alphard.
Using the Car Scanner app I have been able to deactivate the seat belt warning on the drivers and passengers sides and set the automatic headlight delay from normal to long.
The auto headlights are too sensitive and sometimes flash on off when driving under bridges, hopefully the long setting will stop this.
As for seat belt warnings, can’t adults make their own decisions?
There are a lot more options but I think it’s wise to change only a few at a time, drive the car for a few days to check everything’s ok, then make any more changes.
If anyone else is thinking of this, buy a decent OBD dongle, make sure to press the engine run button twice without pressing the brake pedal (ignition on, engine off), disconnect the app before unplugging and finally, the Car Scanner app allows 3 changes before you need to pay for the pro version.
I plan on making more changes so I’ll buy the pro version and keep you posted.
Regards,
Steve.
