- If you own or your thinking of buying an electric car then you need a OBD dongle. It will let you check the SOH of the battery so if your buying an EV you know its in good health before you pay your well earned money! It can also DO SO MUCH MORE for current owners if you already have one then maybe you didn't know about other HIDDEN feature it can do.

List Of Working Dongles on my website evnick.com/ev-products/
Do you have any alternatives to the ones on the website. All the ones listed are now unavailable :(
@@hellopsp180 updated website with 2 options but they are UNTESTED
Absolutely! With a OBD-Dongle you just know more about your car. I use it in my Leaf and it is extremely helpful.
Thanks Benedikt for your support in patron and glad you agree these dongles are musts
Hi Nick, thanks for your reply, my i3 has most of the options I need except keyless entry, might this be something that is hidden and released using the dongle ? I live in south Manchester
Regards
Bob
I am getting my Zoe on Saturday and just bought the Dongle. Thanks! I also purchased a 10m 3-pin charger.. I have an awkward parking spot and 10m will not be sufficient unfortunately. It is safe to add an ev charge extension to the 10m cable? Thanks in advance!
you lost me when you said iphones are the best phone in the world :) - Thank you for Sharing
hard to admit you brought the wrong phone isn't it Lossy don't worry there's a new iphone coming out soon!
All androids in this household .. the last i-phone i bought was an iphone 4s LOL .. only rich people can afford iphones ... and apple products in general , and aint nobody got no time for that i-tunes programme
@@Andy-Robus samsung android same price....
But better@@NicolasRaimo
Well done thanks great video as usual any idea when canze Will work for ze50 ? Have developers said how far they are with it ?
Not that I know of
Hi i have this konnwei obd adapter and it works totally fine with my zoe , but i cannot connect it to bimmercode app... maybe there is a solution to this ? There is no such adapter konnwei in the app list, i tried all other options but it does not work...
Dongles keep SELLING out since this video release if you check my website and let me know if they sell out and ill try only list ones i know work i've added another for android as the other 2 totally sold out with 2 hours of this video being released!
just down loaded canze and its in french how do you get it in english and where is the plug on the ze50 thanks nick
I need some help getting this to work. I got the KW902 black. It won’t connect to my iPhone 13.. any ideas?
Hi Nick. Great informative video. Do you have a link for downloading DDT4ALL for my Zoe please? Many thanks.
Mark Heyel you’ve probably already found it, but if not try links from lisandru.eu/automotive/ddt4all-hacks/ddt4all-powerfull-software-for-secret-functions-on-renault-dacia.html#
Hi , do you know a ios for hyndai Ev?
Is this a OBD2 ? And will it work with a new Z50 2020 ?
Great video Nicolas! Just bought a 2020 BMW i3. Noticed the pedestrian warning noise cannot be deactivated from the I-drive. Any suggestions how to deactivate this sound?
It’s a legal requirement on the car, but the tool in video will turn it off but you do so at own risk
I find if you specifically look for a OBD2 adaptor with a PIC18F25K80 chip inside this should work great with DDT4all and CanZE - it cost me around 20 quid ... i previously bought a 'mini bluetooth' adaptor for around 7 quid and it was useless ... well I say useless it just really was only alright for testing using Torque for ICE cars .. but no good for CanZe (some parts worked) and DDT4all.
Any chance you have a link?
Hi, thank you for this and I have purchased one straight away. My 19 plate Zoe constantly says it's learning tire pressure. Can I change it using this device so it will display the pressures?
Thank you
Dougie
learning tyre pressure is a TERRIBLE French translation for "LEARNT" so basically nothing wrong
Interesting video.
Other subject..what's your thoughts over Tesla Model S screen electronics memory wearout?
I know some memory chips have limited read/write cycles, it caused a problem with a micro controller in a previous job.
It's concerning as it's an invisible time bomb. Tesla model S ( to 2015 in reports) apart could other EVs suffer?
it quite a common an well known issue, its due with the way Tesla set up the logging its writing WAY too much every touch on the screen for example logs the touch point X and Y. There are people who've reprogramed this to do LESS logging this SERIOUSLY improves the life, but you can unsolider and resolider the chip to fix this
@@NicolasRaimo Thanks. Interesting what goes on behind the scenes 👍
Hi, recently purchased the Konwei KW902 OBD2 under your recommendation but it never came with a useful user manual (only came with ios instructions), was hoping I could get some help on how to get it to work with windows/ddt4all as trying to get android auto working on my 2017 Zoe
Find it on your Pc it broadcast as a Wi-fi hub, your need a modified OBD cable to make android auto work thou
I seen vidio on over too
Scan my tesla
Kia nero
Would like one for my corca e put no soft ware out yet
Is there an OBD unit that will work with my MG4 Trophy please?
Hi Nick, which OBD is best for ze 50? I wanted to be sure before order one, thanks in advance!
Software on canze not ready yet there working on it but these should work
@@NicolasRaimo what do you mean by these?
Where is the obd on the MG models?
Hi Nick, I couldn't access the bimmer code link on your video I have a 2018 (68) i3rex how could I benefit from buying a dongle, what could I change ?
depends where in the world you are it will open different things, but you could have the car remember which setting you want it to remember so be that ECO, Eco plus for example you can EVEN have it display tyre temperatures
Ive found a OBD A2138203202 droped on street. Looking at google i see it originaly for Mercedes Bens. You know if it is compatible with Renault Zoe?
Thank you Nik. I've requested the beta for CanZE as I'm not getting all the information at the moment. I have 2 dongles including the one you recommended. I'm not sure if there is an issue with the Kangoo, it shows the battery voltages correctly on CanZE but the SOH is showing 105%, the professional diagnostic equipment is showing 100%. And the battery temp is showing at something like -235℃. So we will see how we get on with the beta version. I'll keep you posted. Thank you again for your advice. Doug
Thanks Doug thanks for your support via patron also
Take care not to get kicked in your dongles.
Good morning Nick.
I have Zoe’s little brother, a Twizy, will this work with that?
It should if it has an OBD port
Where did u Download ddt4all from
I have a smart electric, which dongle do you recommend and what app should i use to see the battery status.
thanks
No idea for smart ev am sorry maybe try a forum the dongle should work but its just the app
What device would I need for my MG ZS EV and iPhone?
The Device should be same its the software you download its doubtful anyones made any yet for MG try asking on MG forum
Does this obd dongle work on the Volvo XC40 Recharge electric vehicle (model year 2023)?
It should work on all cars its software be different
Great video Nick Thankyou, I currently have a 22kw battery leased Zoe and CanZE is currently showing 78% SOH and usable 16.8Kwh and I don’t know what to do about it lol
Sounds like you need a bms update check my 2 part videos I did on this… as mentioned in my brake fluid video bms update should be free for battery lease customers
@@NicolasRaimo awww Thankyou so much I’ll ring the garage and ask them
@@NicolasRaimo so, garage want to charge me and RCI have made it very clear they won’t do anything until the battery reaches 75%, think I’m just gonna have to wait to it gets to that point. Any tips on how to degrade a battery lol
@@matthewhicketts3242 You anywhere near dsg morecambe
@@NicolasRaimo I’m in Stoke Nick so 80 miles but it’s not that far, what’s ure thoughts? I’ve got everything going on with that car atm, we’re paying £1100 to fix the heating next week. Love the car but blimey when things go wrong it costs
Leaf spy on android can use Wifi dongle on the version I have, and has a setting for a Bluetooth one. There is a freeware leafspy lite version too, with reduced functions, but still worth it.
That's great Andy can you post a link to one you brought that works so i can link it on my website.
@@NicolasRaimo bought in 2016 off ebay, and can't find the link I'm afraid. Worth mentioning wi-fi range is only about 2 feet if anyone struggles.
Thanks for the video! Your link to dongles on your website doesn’t take me anywhere....? Can you advise please.
you gone to EVnick.com
Nicolas Raimo, ok but that link just circles back to the same CZcams video....not the website to buy..
@@WirelessGriff clickEV products on site menu there's a link direct to product page in the description
Hello! Thanks! What a great Video. I think you can post a Video showing how to deactivate and activate the nipples in the Braking System on a Renault Zoe. So that people who spend expensive money on buying an Electric car, will not have to pay expensive invoices for changing brake fluid. You have posted a Video before, where you visited a Workshop. The workshop guy then explained how it is done in a simple way, together with Clip Fault code reader. But he didn't tell you how to do it in the Program. Can you help many of us Zoe owners? Thanks! From Tommy Bertilsson from Sweden
Just bought the I-phone Dongle for my new to me 2017 Zoe ZE 40,unfortunately I don’t speak or read French is there an English version or a method of translating it.
hi Dave CanZE is also in english
@@NicolasRaimo Thanks for that,I think I was being particularly dense that day.👍
On the Play store it says "Note: CanZE will not work yet on a ZOE model ZE50" this is for version 1.51
Yep they havn't had the new ze50 software yet to work it backwards but they will am sure of it
Nicolas Raimo Your video doesn’t make it clear the CanZE does not yet work with ZE50. Otherwise a first class video.
@@paulinchris DDT4ALL works win ZE50, ps also didn't mention it does work with ZE50 ;) it should do soon thou
@@NicolasRaimo Thanks Nick, I have Mac OS I think DDT4All may only work with windows!
Hi Nickolas where is the OBD port on the ZE50?
RHD car bottom passenger footwell on pilar from me Peru
@@NicolasRaimo Peru??
Great - But where is the OBD Port on the New Zoe?
Driver footwell ;)
We have an e-Niro on order so what can we use if we need it?
If you pop onto Kia forums and ask question there am not too sure what there software version or if there is one yet
One Android app for Kia/Hyundai is Soul EV Spy. evranger.com/soul-ev-spy-users%27-guide.html There are other OBD2 apps that will read the data too. Compatible dongle is listed in the guide. There are also hardware displays available. Alot of the EV CZcamsrs have them.
Don't you need the splitter cable to actually write anything with DDT4ALL or have they found a way round it? I've still got one kicking about from adding Android Auto my old Zoe.
There is also a free version of Leafspy called Leafspy lite which lets you do basics like checking SOH. Might only be available on Android though.
You only need to change pins if your doing stuff on the Rlink system other stuff writes fine.
I have a USB Obd2 elm327 can I use it to diagnose my battery state of health and other stuff ????
Please help !
there is no such thing as iphone app canze?
testflight.apple.com/join/gypjWAtk
Are these dongals available again now.
Pop over to my website there’s a list i keep updated
On a separated note, does the new Renault Zoe ZE50 come with a so called “granny charger” with a 3 pin plug.
No zoe's never come with granny cable and my argument would be you never need it either
Clive Thomas nope
I thought this sounded very interesting in your video, but after clicking on your Amazon link, the product has 3 reviews and 2 of those say it's no good and award it 1 star. It also appears to be £17 plus delivery. Am I missing something? I wouldn't normally consider buying anything with such poor reviews.
which one Paul IOS or andorid?
@@NicolasRaimo It's IOS.
@@paulware6576 thats a direct link to one am using in this video, I'll try get some more wifi enabled ones listed on my site by end of this week but remember we ain't using the rubbish software the firm who sell them provide we are using custom made hardware for it. This worked prefect of DDT4ALL for me. the Ios version of canze is a little behind on development thou.
@@NicolasRaimo I really only want it to show the basic info especially the SOH. I'm having a problem when charging whereby the display shows one percentage whilst connects and immediately afterwards, but shows a completely different value less than an hour later. Yesterday after charging it showed 83 miles and 88% and within the hour, it displayed 66 miles and 69% which I suspect is the true value. I wondered if this reader might show why that is.
I thought you were OK until you said an iPhone was the best phone in the world now I feel sad for you. My new electric car comes tomorrow - just a little excited.....
What you got on order Paul?
@@NicolasRaimo It came a Tues eNiro4, the charger is being done today.
@@paulfarrar8846 which charger you go for?
@@NicolasRaimo Zappy - I have solar panels and may get battery storage added and I know it deals with all that well.
iPhone, courtesy of Chinese slave factories.
I 100% agree iPhones are the best I’m rocking 11 64 gb
If you want to avoid all this crap, get an ICE car😁
😂 ice cars got more issues EGR values, o2 sensors, dpf and that’s just to name a few
The iPhone comment may lose you subscriber's, do people still really buy those things
oh come on clearly that comment was satire and said in such a manor, Ps you aint subscribed to me
@@NicolasRaimo haha that's cos of the iPhone comment
