Can the mx+ connect to my iPhone 13pro max? I use track addict btw for track recordings.
I haven't tried on an iOS phone but on the OBDLink website it mentions that the MX+ supports many iOS apps. So I believe it should work with Track Addict. If you want to be sure it might be best to contact the OBDLink support team or Track Addict support team
@@FrakkingCreations Thanks. Reason is because I was notified not all OBD adapters can connect bluetooth to iPhones. Only specific bluetooth like BLE / 4.0, and not those Bluetooth 1.x, 2.x and 3.x ones . I’ll write to OBDlink for further enquire , thanks!
You're welcome. Hope you get your answer.
Oh one other thing. Because OBDLink has an iOS app that works with the MX+, I'm inclined to think that it will work if it's only a BT issue that you are concerned about. Please post back once you find out. Would be good info to know.
Here's a good solution. Don't live in any crime ridden cities like Oakland, Detroit, and Chicago.
Well, it's easier said than done. Not everyone has the luxury to move to a different city. And saying this is similar to saying don't go anywhere unsafe even if you need to get groceries from there, or don't own anything nice because someone will steal it from you, don't live in a nice place, etc...
@@FrakkingCreations I used to live in a small town in Pennsylvania and we didn't even lock our doors at night. So, yes moving to another place can prevent license plate theft
Nice Kit, I have mine with me everywhere I go and people make fun of me until they need something. The other things that I also carry: impact wrench (makes changing a tire very easy), siphon pump , lithium battery jumper with power bank capability, emergency battery flashers, breaker bar, swiss army knife, glue sticks with lighter, fuse kit, throw up bags, pee bags, precision screwdriver kit, headlight flashlight (when working on a car at night), basic multimeter, and for food, I carry MRE that has the heating bag with it. That's all I can remember now and I'm sure I have more .. lol.
Thanks for the comment. Good ideas for your kit. Definitely taking it to the next level.
Yeah having the possibility that anyone can turn on the speaker makes this gadget useless if you use it to track backpacks or luggage that could be stolen. Another case where you want to have the speaker disabled is if you use the tracker on your pet (especially cats). I don't want that me or someone else turns the sound on by mistake, they are very loud and the pet would be scared to hell
That list of supported expanded diagnostics cars is pretty crappy. I wonder if it is an outdated list or if they just stopped caring years ago.
It isn't the biggest list. The extended features actually doesn't support the vehicles we own. I do wish they keep updating it for more vehicles, though. I could imagine that these manufacturers all want a lot of money for access to their IP or just don't want to allow it.
Good thinking! (re the 'lock screw' especially, IMO)
Thanks for commenting. Please like and share our videos with anyone else that would find them useful. We appreciate your help in supporting the channel!
Can you pls explain to me why there is no voltage drop when using a cat5 cable for long lengths as opposed to plugging a USB poiwer block into an extension cord ?
Had 1 for about 7 years and I love it..
Would this work with regular milk or does it have to be cream?
Best with a cream. Milk will be too thin and not as tasty... You really do need the fat for it to taste good. You might be able to get away with homogenized milk (3.25% fat, I think) but I don't think it will be the best taste and it will be more liquid. Hope that helps.
When reinstalling the new actuator it would have been wise to tie a sturdy cord onto the manual over-ride lever and feed it into the trunk by a strategic path, then tie it to a small plastic handle that emerges from a hole in the trunk liner. Better yet, feed this manual over-ride cord through a cable housing from the actuator to the hole in the trunk lining so that the cord doesn't get frayed and break.
That's a very good idea. Thank you for sharing.
Brilliant tips, thank you!

Any plans to test out the Fantom Wallet in the future?
No plans at this time. Have you heard much about it?
why would they say "leave the allen key wrench" in your glove box?
can you make a kill switch like this
No. I don't think so. Even if it was possible to use the fuse box and fuse tap to make a kill switch, it would be easy to get around simply by accessing the fuse box and unplugging the fuse tap.
can you do a killswitch with this
No. A proper kill switch would require accessing power lines for components like the started, fuel pump, etc... This would not be possible using the OBD port alone.
There is 5th way - you can power your Dashcam from the interior Dome light - there are cable hardwire connections available for some cars, otherwise just wire it directly into the dome light a smost cars have a perm. pos and neg right thre.
I've heard someone else suggest this as well. The dome light is definitely another place that there is power available. Though, this power source will not allow for Parking mode features of the dash cam. There is also another method to power dash cams that I will be doing a video on in the coming weeks so check back if interested.
@@FrakkingCreations How... You can turn on a light when car is off... So, power is there...
Very interesting video thank you! In another topic. Do you think about the issue of the siren from Eufy ? The sound of the all system Eufy is so low... The idea would be to add a siren loud (110 or 120db) like other competitor.
Thank you for commenting. Regarding your question, are you referring to the Homebase siren being too low in volume? If so, I suppose it's always a possibility to add an external siren to it so that it is louder. I haven't looked into this.

Will this read my transmission temperature when pulling a trailer with a 2011 ford E350 5.4l
That's something OBDLink might be able to answer better. It typically depends on if the vehicle in question is outputting the parameter for transmission temperature. If it is, it will likely be available for display.

Is the vinyl film just something we can buy on our own? Does it need reflective coating or something?
yes. I have a link to one in the video description. I suppose a reflective coating could help more but I'm not sure if that will pose an issue with oncoming drivers, with the reflection and all. There are also more expensive window film that can block Infrared heat that is clear and maybe tinted. These may work too, though I haven't tried them.

Great info! If you’re able, could you please let me know what links I should go to & purchase to set up the fake port, and relocate the port to a central area of my truck? (2021 Silverado 1500)..I wouldn’t mind putting a physical lock on it, after moving it to the alternate location, as well. Thanks!
Thanks for commenting. Since I don't have that vehicle, I won't know specifically which fake splitter port you will need. Though, the ones I linked to in the video description should work. I provided quite a few so you will have to check out what your OBD port looks like and decide which one fits best. As for an OBD lock I also included links for some in the video description. Please check those out.
@@FrakkingCreations Thank you for the reply & feedback. I decided to do a variation of what you’re describing and doing. I purchased a splitter, which I’ll use to extend both leads elsewhere in the vehicle. One will be hidden, but accessible for access & I’d like to connect the other to a GPS tracker w/ app access and for vehicle diag. I’d like to think that’s possible, at least. In place of original ODB port, I purchased a dummy that I’ll install & put a lock on. My thought process is that someone should come prepared to spend and waste some time if they’re looking to gain access to the port, and then discover it’s not a legit port anyway, which hopefully will discourage and help them move along to something easier.
As a heavy duty truck tech for 30 years I’ve installed hidden micro toggle switches that control either power or ground at crucial electronic components like ECMs and TCMs .If it don’t run you can’t steel it or disable the data link so the computers can’t communicate
Good point. I missed the method of hidden kill switches in the video. If you have the knowledge then this is a nice way to customize additional security to any vehicle.
Why such a long explanation! Disgusting!
Hi, do you know if 70mai cam have battery protection? unfortunately since I've installed it I keep having troubles with my car battery. it already died twice in a 1 years and 3 months time
It should. It depends which hardwire kit was used for your dash cam. It seems the UP02 and UP03 70mai hardwire kits have a very low cutoff voltage of 11.8 V. This could cause the problems if your battery is old or weak. Another thing would be to make sure the hardwire kit was installed properly. If the two wires (ACC and BATT) are installed incorrectly then you could get behaviors like a dead battery. Also, consider how often and how long you drive on a daily basis. If you don't drive enough your car battery would not be charged enough. Along with the dash cam using up the reserve power, any other car systems that are on when the car is off can also drain the rest of the battery. This would be systems like keyless entry and such. Hope that helps.
@@FrakkingCreations Thank you :)
Where did you get the backing plate, did you make it?
It is part of the Eufy mount I bought online. I just added the link for it in the video description, if you're interested. I use it for the DIY peephole install video that is upcoming. Look for that in the coming weeks!
No, thanks. I was thinking of buying it but after watching your review im not gonna do it... This is waste of money
It definitely is not for everyone.
never have i seen a microwave in the driver’s seat 😂
Now you've seen everything... Except the kitchen sink. The lengths we go to prove something. 😁
hello am looking for a electric car connect in to fuse box example like byd / maxus / gm / geely any electric car my help me to connecting my dashcam there is only pwr-red , acc-yellow , gnd-black
If you get hurt installing a camera like this I think you should hire a electrician. 😂
People come in so many skill levels that it's not a joke. It could happen.
But yes. If that was the skill level of the person then they should probably get someone to do it for them instead.
Avoid hitting the paint at a 90 degree angle with the power washer as often displayed in this video since it drives dirt into the paint, shallow angles are better.
those are the worst looking keys ive ever seen they are uncut wtf just smooth metal keys
No, the keys have a cutout. I believe I blurred the keys in the video so that the shape of my key is not visible for anyone to copy.
someone can stil lrip it off the door, right. any idea how to make a discrete camera?
Yes. As with anything else, if they really wanted to they can take most cameras off. Can you provide more details on what your definition of discrete is?
@@FrakkingCreations Thanks for answering. discrete in the sense that they don't see it 's a camera. I've been getting harassing notes slipped under my door. The landlord won;t letting me put up a camera but I want to catch the person doing this. Ideas? thanks
Well, I would find out why the landlord has an issue with it. It could be that they don't want holes in the frame or door of the unit. If that's the reason then this video may show them that no damage is done. The install is reversible. On the other hand, if it's because of privacy then this won't work. Your only other bet is something like putting a camera up to the peephole of the door. Not sure what privacy laws are in your state/province so that is something you will have to look into an decide on. For the peephole camera, it would be something custom you have to do based on the door and peephole you have. Alternatively, maybe there is a window nearby that you could put a camera behind that is not the PIR type. One that is always recording but has motion detection based on the video and not a PIR infrared sensor.
@@FrakkingCreations Thank you!
Good luck finding out who's harassing you.
For everview it is OK, but I would install it at eye level. If somebody comes with a hoody on and takes you package, it wouldn't help, right?
So as with anything, there's always a give and take. If it's lower down you can definitely get a better shot of the face, but it is easier to reach to steal or damage. Granted, at the top of the door it isn't necessarily that much safer. Also, if someone wanted to the can just as easily wear a filter mask and sunglasses. Then a camera at face level wouldn't help too much either. This is just another option for security camera installation. Sometimes if the place is rented or is an apartment you have to pay for any holes or damage you leave behind when you move out so this might be another option for those to install a camera at the door. We have another video coming out in a week or so for installing a doorbell camera at face level without drilling additional holes in the door. It will also allow powering the doorbell camera if you don't already have power for it at the door (e.g. an existing doorbell). Look out for that if interested. In the end everyone would have to choose what works best for them. Everyone's scenario and requirements are different.
I watched three other videos similar to yours. Yours is the best and most thorough in my opinion.

ahahha 😂 the thickness is the same traditonal wallet
Update: my Faraday bag with three layers of copper tape have now blocked cell reception and Bluetooth, but it's still connected to wifi! What do I do to fix this? Do I add more layers? Do I not use magnet tape? I am not only using magent tape but rolling the top of the bag down twice to close.
It may depend on the thickness of your copper tape. If it's thinner then you may need more layers. Usually, if the layers are good enough, it will be any other areas where there is an opening like the top of the bag. The two sides of the bag must maintain conductivity. So the lip on both sides should touch metal to metal to maintain conductivity. Rolling the bag opening could help but I would still say that both sides should maintain conductivity at the top. The way I did it in the video is to have the tap from both sides wrap around the lip at the top. This way when the magnet snaps closed, both sides of the bag touch metal to metal at the top lip and maintain conductivity. Another thing to note is that copper tape, like any other metal object, when bent back and forth over time will break. So if you regularly roll the copper tape, it could form small holes where the metal breaks. Hope this helps.
I’ve added three layers of copper tape to a large plastic bag, but my phone is still receiving phone calls. I’ve tried to roll the bag as opposed to using ziploc seal or magnets. Is rolling the bag closed keeping my phone accessible to calls? Do I need to find better magnets to close the bag as opposed to using magnet tape?
Thank you so much!
You're welcome. Glad it was useful. Please like and share with anyone else you think would be interested. We appreciate your help in growing our channel!
Got the key holder for 39 on sale. Got the wallet for 39 on sale as well. 80 in for both.
Good score on the Ridge key case and wallet!
The best you can hope wheel locks will achieve is to make a potential thief think “hmmm…. never mind, I will try another car”. The best way to keep your wheels secure is to fit a different set of locking nuts to all 5 studs on each wheel, and of course with 5 different keys. And also, keep the keys somewhere hidden, somewhere ONLY You can find. A bit of a headache for a mechanic of course, and DON’T forget to leave the keys for the mechanic Before you leave your car with them…….
Hi, this is FitDVR, a brand that specialize in producing and selling Dash Cam Power Adapters, I wonder how can i contact you? I’m reaching out to see if we could have a collaboration.😁
Hi. Thanks for reaching out. I will contact you on your website. Please respond to me there.
what if we just take the batterie out ?
That would work too. Just make sure when you store the battery in your pocket, or wherever, that it doesn't short circuit when the bottom and sides/top touch metal objects nearby. This will deplete/damage the battery or cause it to heat up. Alternatively, some FOBs now have a disable feature that you can use to turn the FOB off until you need it. This may be good enough for your needs. Just make sure to turn all FOBs off. For example, some Mercedes FOBs can be turned of by double pressing the Lock button quickly. To turn on again, just tap any of the buttons again. On the other hand, some BMW FOBs will auto turn off when no motion is detected. This may not work as well especially when you are out and about, like at the mall. You are moving around so when does it turn off? Relay attacks can also happen when you are out. Someone could follow you and transmit your FOB signals to a second thief at your vehicle, which allows them to start it and drive off.

Thank you. We appreciate you taking a moment to provide your feedback. I'm glad you got yours finally. I hope you are enjoying it!
I noticed that I can just rotate the top part of the Springs to tighten them.
