While I was looking for a quick fix to my latest problem, I learnt more about on board vehicle diagnostics and its role in reducing repair expenses.Īs I continued my search for a solution to my constant need for repairs, I discovered this Foxwell NT644 pro vs NT650 comparison that helped me understand how to overcome my problem. The cost was so high that I was considering offloading my model in favor of a less troublesome car.

I was spending too much on repairs, ranging from minor fixes to expensive overhauls. FWIW.Small problems indulged let in greater. It has FW-TFT043-03Q marking on the ribbon so maybe its compatible with this? not sure, but i hope so, one day i will sniff this. The good thing i like is the LCD is not the carbon strip crap type, so maybe i can study something to interface with it. Lattice FPGA? and Atmel AM mcu i guess, look for yourself i'm not really familiar. The inside of the tool can be seen in the rest of the attachments. but according to them, the firmware is serial number/password dependent, so even if we both have the same NT650, we cannot exchange SD card, how true i dont know. if anyone have Foxwell brand scanner maybe we can combine force.

So i think it will be interesting to tinker what data inside the card and possibility to hack it, put another Foxwell model data in it and see if it can run the data in another model. i've made backup and copy to another SD card and boot succesfully from that card. the data in SD card looks like in the 1st attachment. it did upgrade my Benz, Audi and Ferarri? unit, cant remember actually but all those high end car i dont have so the upgrade is useless for me, i only need simple OBDII upgrade for my Toyota and Perodua car. from there, the FoxScanner will scan your SD card and list the upgradable unit. The firmware is located in an SD card, can be upgraded by installing FoxScanner SW or directly from their website register as a user and in the account, register your product from given serial number and password. it only can read my Toyota Wish ABS and SRS data so not so bad for a paperweight.

so in the mean time this will be a cute $150 paperweight for me until Foxwell is willing to add support for additional Japanese JOBD or whatnot OBDII protocol, i'm trying to reach their support department now. I bought this recently and it cannot read both of my car Toyota Wish 2003 and Perodua Viva 2007 OBDII or DTC data, bummer.
