Jeep Wrangler Programmer Phone App - Every JK Owner Needs This
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ส.ค. 2024
- Finally! An app that allows Jeep owners to change all kinds of factory settings. This app will do everything the AEV procal and superchips fashcal can do at a fraction of the price.
It is very important to purchase the correct Bluetooth OBD reader (link below). The OBD reader only needs to be plugged in while programming is in progress or if you want live readings, meaning after you make your changes you can remove it and you will be good to go!
This app also allows multiple VINS, meaning if you own multiple JKs you simply pay $15 for each Jeep instead of buying separate programmers for each Jeep.
This app works great and I would highly suggest it to any JK owner.
I am getting feedback from 2018 Jeep owners that a lot of the functions do not work with their Jeep. I think the tire and gear calibration is the only function that works on the 18s.
Bluetooth OBD Tool: amzn.to/2DJ4LI5
If above is out of stock, try this one: amzn.to/3726RSo
Another OBD Tool: amzn.to/2WGuNDC
App: OBD JScan by Piotr Bialic itunes.apple.c...
Android Version: play.google.co...
If you have any issues or concerns then reach out to the app developer on his facebook page (OBD JScan) he is very responsive.
Thanks for watching and like always, please tell your Jeep Buddies to check out and subscribe to JK Gear and Gadgets!
I know a lot of you probably have a programmer... however you can help other Jeep owners by sharing this video with them. Help your Jeep friends and other people in your Jeep club save some money!

Done!!
Is there anything a tuner can even do on a Jeep TJ?
Is that 6 speed trans the NSG370??
Jeremy Rhodes yes
Jeremy Rhodes haha not really. Maybe the 04-06 but still wouldn’t do much haha
Phenomenal find! Almost spent $170 on a procal, within 10mins gear ratios and tire size were dozens no more jk limp mode
Waiting for the comments from the old timers ... “real jeeps don’t have fancy computers” ok Jerry, your CJ has been sitting in your backyard for the past 3 years with a bad carburetor
#gottem
Hahahaha so true though
I just laughed 👍
Todd Hodgkin - 🤣😂🤣 👍👍
@@jbhk7977 There are no old timers because the internet is a very confusing place to be.
I just got this app and it is fantastic. The license is $18.99 now, super cheap compared to other programmers out there. It did what I needed it to do, correct tire size. Plus, I went through and customized a bunch of other things, day time running lights, door locks, power windows, checked for trouble codes.
Just plug in the ODB device, turn on the key and follow the prompts. When finished, unplug the OBD device and toss it in the glove box for future use, it does not stay plugged in. I know this video is over a year old but wanted to say thanks for turning me on to this thing.
A couple days after this post, I snagged these parts and got the app. It worked great, but it didn't turn my '16 JK's TPMS down to what I was hoping. Apparently the '16+ JKs have a different TPMS module. A couple days later, the app received an update that fixed it and now I've got the TPMS sensor set for my normal pressure of 29 PSI. Thanks Ben, great find.
A year later and you’re still saving folks from buying the expensive programmers! Thank you man!
Just got mine today everyone. Works great. Finally have an accurate speedo after upgrading tire sizes. Also not having the tire pressure light on anymore it great as well. Definitely a great buy. Thanks for the suggestion. Both worked great together.
Three years later and I'm just now seeing this video. I ordered the iCar VGate and bought a license for the OBD JScan.....PHENOMENAL!!!!! When I bought the JK, it only had one key, so I bought a new one online, but then I found out that the stealership wanted $185 to program it (1 hour of labor they said)....the JScan did it in under 2 minutes. That alone is worth the cost, so thanks, Ben!
Ben, Thanks so much for the app. My wife and I just went to 5:13's and our JKU's and what a world of difference for a fraction of the cost. Love the channel, keep them coming.
Great video! FYI: Your throw out bearing problem is actually not a throw out bearing problem. It sounds like your clutch fork is not retracting enough to keep the throw out bearing from making contact with the pressure plate when the clutch pedal is up. Throw out bearings are not supposed to be in constant contact with the pressure plate and you shouldn't hear it spinning with the engine/pressure plate. You might want to check the retraction spring before your burn up another bearing. Good luck!
Can confirm it all works. It is $20 for the app license and it links to the vin like mentioned. Literally took 3 minutes. Now I’m no longer reading 14mpg on 33” tires went back to healthy 16.8 mpg in a days commute. Most important it shifts on time and correctly on the auto now!
Dood! You just saved me a ton of money with this app. I was going to get an aev or superchips cal module. Just paid for this and am happy!
Hey Ben. I was going to reply to your reply but I thought more people would see it this way. The Vgate ICar Pro combined with the OBD Jscan works absolutely flawlessly on my 2016 JK 2 door automatic. I turned off the TPMS light, adjusted speedometer for 35"s and it shifts so much better. Now I am going to troubleshoot my wheel speed sensors (another thorn in my side). I can't thank you enough. Cost me about 40.00 total and has alresdy paid for itself!! Thanks again!! If anyone has a problem setting yours up watch this video again and it will be a snap.
Did the thing work for the wheel sensors. I have he same deal on my 2007 JK RUB and want to know which wheel the sensors is having an issue with
@@dougfry1427 Yeppers! Will show each wheel and which one is bad. Works like a charm!
I grabbed one of this set up. It does some pretty cool stuff and definitely improved mpg. Thanks for the video.
I am sooooo glad I watched your video BEFORE I went to Amazon and bought the ProCal. Wifey and I just got back from a weekend of wheeling on the beach after putting some 35's on her JK and I was explaining what the ProCal could do( changing the programmed tire size ) so it would shift at the right time. We agreed to buy it when we got home......I procrastinated and watched your video first....... glad I did!!! You have some of the best content out there Ben so keep your head up. Love from Houston, Texas!
Best channel on TH-cam.
I stumbled on this jscan when you mentioned at the end of one of your other videos. Just bought my first Wrangler a few months ago, which was already lifted but I’ve had several issues with geometry the previous owner didn’t adjust. Didn’t realize how big fixing the tire size to adjust the speedometer would be. I feel like I have a whole new jeep now. The shift points are fixed and it drives so much better. I just did this today but I’m in shock. This is just one of several things I’ve learned from your videos but this has been the most rewarding so far. Thx and keep up the great work. Much appreciated!
Saw this video just in time to save myself from buying an expensive programmer... Thank you!
Yeah me too was about to order the superchips reader next week then youtube hooked me up again!
Wholly Shit! I watched this, bought the app, and corrected my JK's wheel size. EVERYTHING changed! It nolonger has the horrible EGR pinging rattle, it shifts decisively, goes in and out of Eco mode seamlessly and all gear shifts are silky smooth. The power down low is hugely improved. I just can't recommend this app enough. It's like my Jeeps had a mega dyno tune.
Awesome! Can’t wait to try this out. As a new JKU owner (2017 Sport) this is really helpful stuff. I didn’t even know, for instance, that daytime running lights were a programmable option. This app looks to be really helpful - thank you, and keep up the great work! Noobies ARE learning from you ... and I’m sure that your other peeps appreciate the time you put into this stuff.
Nice to see you feature this app! Use it for nearly a year now, worked out some beta problems at the beginning with the guy and he is really nice, support was really quick overall really happy! It's three times worth the money!
Man this is so great, I got the Bluetooth plug and the app, now my Jeep Jku actually performs better, shift point (I have an automatic) are on point, and I got 17.4 mpg today! Crazy right. Thanks for the video man, great product
I just ordered vgate off Amazon and downloaded the app . I was going to get programmer from ET they had it on sale for $169 after discount . If this works it will save some money for other mods great video, thanks
John Germano letme know jhon I really appreciate thx
I got mine today from your recommendation on here. I ordered the exact same thing that you have. I love the daytime running lamps, they make the Jeep really pop. I’m going to go to 33’s with a level kit (I drive 100 miles a day so going bigger isn’t economical for me) and I’m sure it will be easy to program the Jeep with this. It’s a great easy to use and very useful tool. I wouldn’t have found this without your video, to thanks a ton for posting this. -Mike.
I’m glad I could help. Thank you for watching!
Tried the JK Blaster first and threw 5 codes. Didn't work correctly, so I returned. Then Saw this video and bought! Works great. Thanks!
Hey everyone it is currently available on Amazon again better hurry.......I just ordered mine!
thats awesome, you like always bringing us the best things nobody know about
It worked for my jeep thanks. I have a 2017 jeep jk with 33 inch tires speedometer was off by 5-7 mph. just got It in today and it was so easy to use and within 20min it was fixed. Thank you.
Quite simply - Thank you!
I bought this scanner and installed like you demonstrated. Blam! So easy. Even the part about having to exit the program and re-launch after buying a license. Totally awesome.
2017 JKU Sahara
Manual Transmission
4" Lift
35" Tires
That’s a really awesome little programmer. I might have to give it a shot! Keep making the great videos man.
Nice video man, I wish this thing was out before I bought my super chips! 😏 I also shared this video on North Texas Jeep Clubs Facebook page
Thanks man!
This video helped me a TON. I already have an ODB2 bluetooth thingy for my Jeep 07 JKU. I use the app Torque.
This video is very well done and serves the Jeep community well.
Thank you
Thank you very much!
Just wanted to say you da man !!!! thx for doing this video , watched this went straight to amazon bought the vgate I car pro got it two days got the JScan app & bought the license!! Gotta tell ya this is amazing for the price fixed the shift issue with having 35s & so much more !! Thx again !! Love the channel!! Keep it up !!
Just got mine. Took a bit to go through it all. Seems to be changing and working. worth the $50 total. Makes me feel like the pro tuners are a rip off at 300+.
Gonna definitely download and buy a Bluetooth adapter thanks dad
What are you saying?
Defiantly lol
IMDOROTEOJR I’m saying I’m gonna buy it you stock Jeep loser
@@TrillNGR u are running 35s with stock suspension....
Please pay respect for bens son, no arguing here or ben will ban everyone
Still using this app and loving it. So glad I watched this before buying a tuner or TrailDash. Thanks a ton!
I've had this app and the same bluetooth connector you bought for a few months. It is definitely nice to have around if I need it. I originally bought it to change the location of my DRLs.
Clutch change out video would be awesome! I have the 6 speed jk 2007 and just replaced the clutch two weeks ago and sounds like the throw out bearing is bad. errrr I don't want to keep paying a shop to do it. The only reason I can't is because I don't have a lift.
Reuben Bennett a lift makes it nice but you don't need one. I've removed and installed several transmissions in a driveway on jack stands. I don't understand why everybody thinks everything requires a damn lift anymore? I lift is just for convenience.
Great find! Thank you very much. This will make a great tool, especially for us iPhone users. If you bypass the sway bar disconnect will this allow you to turn off the dash light?
Yep!!
How can you bypass it? I need to get it done
Thanks for reviewing this app. I just swapped gears and upped tire sizes. I already purchased the "other" option, otherwise I weighs have given this a shot. I like how simple it appears to use.
Thanks again for the great stuff you put out on videos. Oh and I'm certainly one that is learning a ton from the 1 TON swap. Enjoy the fact you do all your own work!
Dude, you saved me. I REALLY didn't wanna get a programmer just for a recal for tire size. Appreciate it man!!
I would like to see how AEV or superchips responds to this video
And DiabloSport for me.
If the couple was smart then they would have let Ben from JKGG be the marriage officiant. 😂
This video is still accurate and paying dividends. I bought the programmer, which worked with an OBD WIFI device I already had with no issues. Changed all the settings I wanted and even tested the trail mode screen which is awesome. Saved over $200 by this video and this app. Great job!
I bought a different ODB2 connecter because I couldn't find the one listed. The app worked great and I was able to set the tire size. I hope the developer and the app get some serious attention because this thing is great.
jim lundborg what brand connector did u buy?
@@pra3t0rian TONWON Car Bluetooth 4.0 OBD2... www.amazon.com/dp/B06XTP3HDG?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
It worked flawless
Will the app let you engage the rear locker when in 4-HI?
It does not have that option yet, however if enough people ask him on his Facebook page then I’m sure he will look into it and add that.
@@JKGearandGadgets awesome! Thanks for all the great content Ben.
I sent JScan a message on Fb and he said you can change the locker setting on the activations screen under the front gateway module. He’s going to try to eventually put the off road features under one screen.
Not hard to wire in toggle switches to have manual control of the lockers. Worth the time to be able to use the lockers in 4hi.
So the feature is now here ;) Cheers
This will put all the programmer companies out of business
Ben as soon as Potts mountain opens back up the wife and I would love to wheel with you.
If it works. Has anyone else actually gotten it to work correctly?
Really like the information you give - you get to the point - which is appreciated. Too many people try to make their videos unique and fun - and they fail!
Great find man, honestly any Jeep/SUV/truck owner should have a scanner/reader just for personal upkeep on their vehicles. For the price you definitely can’t beat it, still less than heading to the dealership to have them scan your codes for you. Nice Jeep flex too man. Great video!
Works great on the 08 and 11. The cool thing is you only need one reader and can do up to 5 vins. I only needed 2 but the price has went up. Its $22 for each or you can do three for $46 and five for but cant remember the price. Was able to fix the speedometer on both in the matter of seconds. Thanks for sharing this!
Dude where were you about 3 months ago. I just bought a superchips trail dash!!! Wish I knew this existed. Great video thanks for thr info.
Already downloaded the app. Next have to purchase the app and a reader. Thanks for the video and info Ben, if this works yes it will save a ton of cash to spend on other Jeep parts. In the app at the bottom of the adaptation module there is an option for US or metric. Hopefully that will fix the temperature setting and not just the speed/distance. GREAT video Ben also enjoyed the best spray paint and the time it took for you to do that. Thanks again.
Thanks for the advice!! I am a rookie and now I feel like an engineer! I am still keeping it simple, and do learn from it everyday! Thanks bro!
Just got mine, ended up getting from eBay due to amazon being sold out. But a lot less bulky than my other OBDII reader and can program too. Bought 3 license pack so I can diagnose wife’s Cherokee too. Glad I caught this video, keep up the good work man!
Didn't even know this existed until I saw your video. Bought it. Actually worked with the obd adapter I already had. Works great. Wish I knew about this before spending $300 on a backup camera kit that comes with a one time use programmer. Thanks for sharing this!
I got my obd adapter yesterday and programmed my jeep speedometer and my tire pressure limit love this app ! Thank you! For saving me about 150 bucks !
I’m really stoked about this, it’s been shared to our club ozark Jeep thing. I went and purchased this right away for my 07 jkur on 37. Thanks man
Just saw video, I’m a subscriber but somehow missed this video until a few days ago. Purchased the app and just received my icar pro today! Love it! You da man!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Ben! It's hard to believe it's been a year almost since you convinced me to purchase the ICAR Pro. It has served me well as has the OBD JScan. I wanted to say thanks again!
Just used it to delete the sway bar light on my Rubicon 2017 after installing the new curry anti-sway bar. Thanks, worked great. Now I think I add the pins for a full disconnect when I want it for a smother ride in the pasture without 4x4 engagement.
I got mine today, and I love it so far.. I'm still testing everything it can do but for money great tool
App has worked great for me so far. Great to do a advanced diagnosis to see if there is any fault codes that pop up or old ones that need to be cleared. The trail view is nice aswell. Thanks for this video
I took your advice and decided I would get everything to use Jscan on my JT and JKU. I bought the icar adapter because my old ones wouldn't work. I bought the JL/JT SGW cable. And I bought the licenses for my VIN. What do you know? It worked. Recalibrated my tires with ease. Not saying whether it's better than the other brands, but it gets the job done. And that's what you buy a programmer for. I love it! Thanks for your review!
I just purchased this and foud the app pretty good. the programer is very responsive to changes and help. Thanks for this device rundown.
Awesome! I was going to purchase the Superchips Flashcal for $190. Now I'm going to use that money to upgrade something else. Thank you!
The Daytime running lamps being put on the signals, totally sold me on this. I'm getting one. thanks for the video.
Thanks for this video. Just enabled the backup camera, and made my turn signals DRLs. Already paid for itself in my eyes.
mtfulemming if the Turn signals are regular bulbs, both filaments light up. (Parking and turns)
The heat WILL melt the housings. Happened to me. Sucks cause I love the look of the bright amber turn signals as drl
Was it easy to enable the backup camera? Do you have the stock radio with navigation?
Nathan Milsaps I don’t have a backup camera
Very cool, not even one review in the Apple store yet. Downloaded this app and ordered my Vgate. Thanks for the great find.
Hey for once man you saved me money instead of costing me some haha. Was days from ordering a programmer for a couple hundred bucks and stumbled across this video of yours while binge watching half the JK stuff on your channel.
Hey Ben.... thanks for the video on the OBD JSCAN.... I have a 2018 JKU Rubicon. It works great, and I’ve recommended it to several of my friends. Thanks for everything you do, and keep making the information you provide. 😎💪👊
To comment on views down...I personally am not into the one-ton swap videos. I'm sure they're great for those guys/gals, just like the rest of your videos. Thanks for the hard work, brother.
bought the Veepeak obdcheckBLE. did not pair with my Motorola moto Z4. Did work with my wifes phone, a motorola but a cheaper version than mine. Nice app, Thanks for the vid.
Update..... I contacted Veepeak about the problem and they replied quickly with advice. I tried a few things and was able to connect. clearing the bluetooth cache and it worked.
so if your having issues i had give that a try.
After using the App, my 08 wrangler drives so much better and shifts better. So much nicer on the highway too.
Computer reads then 9.5 mpg to now 15 mpg. rolling on 35" mud tires. 4" front and 3" rear lift.
Thanks dude, was going nuts after only getting slightly bigger tires, trans just labouring to change between 2 & 3, just overall crap. Dealership obviously didn't do much other than 'upgrade' firmware, no change. Saw this vid, got adapter and app, boom fixed!
Just bout a 2010 jku last week. I'm glad I rewatched your videos because I forgot about this. Used tour links and downloaded the app just now and ordered the part using your link. Can't wait to try it out especially since I'm installing g 5.13 gears this weekend hopefully
Been watching you for awhile now. Haven't commented much. Love this channel. I just ordered the Bluetooth tool for my JK and downloaded the app. This will save space in my Jeep and do everything I want to do by looking at one device and not multiple, so thanks for the info. Keep making vids!
Just got the Vgate Scanner as well. I had to tinker with the Tire calibrations to get it close to my phones GPS. Have a 2011 JKU, 3.73, on 315/70/17 Auto. My tires supposedly measure to be 34.4, so I went with the 34.5 size. It was still off about 3 mph. I went down to tire size 34 and it is within .5-1 mph now. Pretty close. I also turned off the TPMS!! woohoooo... Much thanks for this video. I will be getting regeared soon and will reconfigure and post back my results.
Great video, I just downloaded and ordered the OBD tool....we have three JK’s and this is the best bang for your buck!!! Like the fact I can use app on my phone, seems too good to be true!!! Thx for posting!!
Great Video, bought the OBD blue tooth reader and got the app, works great!
Where can I find the OBD Bluetooth that Ruth’s with iPhone?
Bro i went up to 37s last week and my aev procal kicks out the code for the gear ratio and i was about to purchase superchips programmer. This video saved me a couple of hundred bucks.
What gears do you have in it?
Regeared to 4.88s a month ago.
Thanks for featuring this app! I programmed my tires and my speed & mpg don't lie anymore. If you've done any other programming with the app, please do another video!
I believe you can change the temperature from C To F by going to settings then App & Adapter then you will find Imperial/Metric.
I'm glad I got to see this video. I was going to buy a programmer next month due to going to larger tires. This is going to save me some money. Thanks
Just purchased the obd2 Bluetooth adapter Can't wait to try it out. I think I'll definitely be sharing this video Oh I agree with the throw out bearing. Im two deep myself lol
Bought it! That’s awesome! I’m down for a few trips that aren’t too far from Raleigh, NC
Just now bought the app love it so far
WOW! this app even works in Australia! I haven't paid for it yet. but plan to in the future! Thanks!
Thanks for showcasing this app, I just got it and ordered a obd2 connector. Subscribed.
Guess I’ll be adding this on top of the Procal I recently bought. Thanks Ben. Great Vid.
This looks really awesome. I downloaded the app and will be purchasing the adapter shortly. Thanks for the info and great video as always!
Thanks for watching 🤘
Just downloaded this and will be trying it soon. I have tried the beta version of someone else's app, but it killed my speedometer. Fortunately I was able to unhook the battery for 24 hours and it reset to factory. Thanks again, loving your videos.
If your speedo goes out it’s because of an error in the app, it will trigger a engine code and if you clear that code you will be good to go. The speedo is the hardest to calibrate
Will be buying the adapter as soon as it comes back in stock.. Maybe well see you this summer at AOAA, Rausch Creek, or Famous Reading..
eBay for $26.00
@@johnschuyleman1331 I grabbed one already.. Now I just need a reason to use it lol
Thank you for the video. This helped sooo much for me as a new jeep owner
VERY HELPFUL video. I wheel on the Rubicon Trail regularly, and the UEV dipswitches are a PITA to turn off the sway bar and turn off TPS.
I bought the app and it works great! I was able to turn down my tire pressure warning light. Thank you😉
That’s super cool. I’m getting this for sure. Thanks for the great videos. I did your muffler upgrade on my JK I bought the clamps and the Dynomax muffler and love it.
New to the Jeep world as well and running 35s on a 2016 JKUR. Just bought the scanner on another site for $34 since amazon was out. Thanks for the info.
Where did u find the vgate?
Found it on the link, haven’t received it yet so I can’t give any feedback on the service. www.mytoytruck.com/products/vgate-icar-pro-bluetooth-4-0-ble-obd2-fault-code-reader-obdii-code-scanner-car-check-engine-light-ios-iphone-ipad-android-compatible-elm327-adapter
Please let us know how everything works on your ‘16. I have a ‘17 myself and FCA “locked” all the ECMs starting in 2015 models so this app and OBD setup may not work well on our newer JKs. So far I’ve only read negative reviews for ‘15+
Absolutely will do. I should get it tomorrow or Tuesday at the latest and will let everyone know.
Got it today and seems to have worked. Connected via Bluetooth with no problem. Only issue was I forgot to purchase the app and it kept telling me to review the license. However once I purchased, I had full access. Only made a few minor changes and will check again tomorrow to verify it worked. Big thing was the tires were set at 31 and I’m running 35s, so hopefully it makes a difference.
Good video. You sold me on this product. I already have the procal but the $45 expense here is an easy one. Thanks.
Thank you for this one, now I can change my TPMS threshold on my JT without having to fork out $220 for a Tazer Lite
Thanks for the review just ordered this, just put 35s on my jk, as far as the low engagement with the 1 ton videos, they are great I'm bet alot of people just are not there yet your doing a great job, been watching them all, but I'm probably going to be looking for a Dana 40 for my sport before a 1 ton, these videos will be an amazing resource though.
Totally getting this for my JKU
Pretty awesome that this is bluetooth. my Superchips is wired, and the aev uses dip switches. So having that wireless control on the fly, is super cool!
