Hi all

I purchased a Gap IID tool from this forum last year. All works fine no issues at all. I don't have a cable to link it to my macbook for updates etc. When I first set it up and connected to my car/iphone. it seemed to go through an update of sorts.

So can i update my IID tool via my mobile phone when connected to home wifi (essentially on my drive)? You've bought WHAT!!

I think what you see as an update process when you connect is the tool pulling a list of what the latest levels of firmware are for various ECU's in the vehicle and similar. I think it's just pulling a basic list, which when it does finally talk to the proper it can ask an ECU what level of firmware it actually has, and then compare it to the latest versions its just pulled from GAP. The tool can then tell you whether there is updated firmware for your ECU's. ( and charge you for the updates )

My experience is that if you want to update the dongle unit itself and the actual functions it offers, then you need to plug it in and use the updater tool from GAP.

My one is just a normal micro USB cable. You can buy USB C to Micro cables for peanuts which will plug into your Mac. V8 or else ...

Cool thanks for the reply, i'll give it a go when i get home. I think i have a space micro cable somewhere You've bought WHAT!!
