The updated database now supports:
For Opel diesel engines (1.3 CDTI, 1.6 CDTI, 2.0 CDTI), the app supports forced DPF regeneration to clear blocked particulate filters without removing them.
When searching for an updated APK file outside of the official Google Play Store, caution is advised.
| Problem | Likely Cause | Solution | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | App says "No response from ECU" | ELM327 does not support K-Line or CAN | Switch to a v1.5+ adapter; check wiring | | Connection drops during bi-directional test | Bluetooth interference or low voltage | Plug a battery charger into the car; move phone closer | | "Module not supported" error | Outdated APK file | Find the fully updated 2025 database version | | App crashes on Android 13/14 | Missing permissions | Grant Location and Nearby devices permissions manually |
While personal use of cracked software is rarely prosecuted, distributing or even downloading it violates copyright law in many countries (DMCA in the US, EUCD in Europe).
