Test report: PCMTuner as passthru device for ODIS, tested on personal car for 5F module coding, great!
pcm can be used in J2534 Passthru diag cable. so it works with Odis, Techstream etc. With quite a lot of builder software if their software takes care of diag passthru.
So if we have the odis soft but no odis cable, we can use pcm as an obd cable.
techstream, forscan, VIDA and lots of others tested.
