What odb tool to control stuff like locks and windows?
Discussion
Been having a bit of fun with a relatives soft top Mitsubishi
Took it to a garage when we couldn’t get the window to wind up and he plugged a machine into an odb port and could operate the locks, windows Etc from his tablet device.
What tech is this, can you buy a dongle
I already have a Bluetooth odb device, but it feels like this is only engine stuff, not the body of the car so to speak. Is this accessible to the average man or are we talking ££££
Any recommendations would be lovely, hate the bother of taking it to an uninterested garage who only want the easy work

One of these will do pretty much anything you want for pre 2016 cars

I have one and its great, you can buy them cheaper from china but these come with proper UK instructions and backup
Interesting, so I guess I want to access the bcm, body control module, would that do it on a 2008 mitsi?https://tools4car.co.uk/product/universal_diagnost...

Bit of a bump, in the end I managed to fix it by replacing parts and using old school methods of bridging / cuttings sensors and then applying 12v direct etc
However my mums friend with the same bloody car has had similar issues so mugging here has to get roped in
What’s the updated view on this, is there a prosumer gadget about now for reasonable money that I can control roofs / windows etc with? Thanks

I’d take a punt on the Delphi clone linked to above, just test it on one of your cars first to confirm it works.
Only the higher end tools usually allow bidirectional control and they are not cheap.
Not sure if apps like iCarly allow this but I can confirm the Delphi clone above was excellent for what I used it on.
Worth a punt for £65 which is the cost of 1 garage diagnostic really.
Thankyou, can you recommend some software? I have a Mitsubishi and a Kia to probe Only the higher end tools usually allow bidirectional control and they are not cheap.
