Well, no joy at the dealership this morning.
My guess is it’s the same story as last time in that there is no sales code associated with my VIN for power folding mirrors.
Looks like the only option is DIY.
Need some guidance and clarification before I commit.
Mike (
@Mpgrimm2 ), can you please point me to the correct bypass cable on your website that I'll need and confirm that the cable is installed behind the knee kick plate per the instructions you pointed me to at the kaodtech.com website?
IIRC, I think I asked someone here if on Gen 4 classic's, the bypass cable can remain installed and that it won't (or shouldn't) interfere with routine scans like the annual Pennsylvania State Inspection and Emissions test.
Can I get further confirmation or clarification on that?
Aside from the two connectors that attach to the CAN terminal block(s), per the kaodtech instructions, you disconnect the factory OBD cable, plug one end of the bypass cable into the factory OBD port (slot), and then plug the factory OBD connector into the other end of the bypass cable.
So, will factory and other standard diagnostic tools be able to plug into the OBD port with the bypass cable in place?
I guess what I'm asking is if the bypass cable is "transparent" insofar as dealer service centers and auto repair shops plugging their diagnostic tools into the factory OBD port at the knee kick plate with it installed?
They won't even realize the bypass cable is installed, because the actual OBD port they access is exposed at the knee kick plate, correct?
And if the bypass cable is neatly cable-tied and tucked under the knee kick plate, they will never know it's there, right?
If OTOH, the bypass cable will cause conflicts with routine scans and maintenance or prevent standard diagnostic tolls from being plugged into the factory port then I guess I'll have to remove it.
Also had a question about AlfaOBD's compatibility with Windows 10 PC because I have an iPhone 15. Posted that question in the
Alfa thread (post #14561).
Thanks to all of you for all the help.
