Clone Orange5 Review: Read and Write as Original

Clone OEM Orange 5 programmer reviews:
Working good/bad? full chip covering or only partial???

Here is Orange 5 and the copy feedback from users.

I have it for a long time and for now everything is working properly.
One of the few clones that works well and works as an original.Some adapters are not supplied and must be purchased separately

So far its reading and writing (with verify) all eeproms i try. Good tool so far.

I like PIN checking function (test insertions) very much .It saved my job a lot of time.
In combination with my UPA -S, Carprog, and TL866 programmer a lot of job can be done successfully .

Great programmer. All that is stated works. If the speed of exchange is not important, you can do a lot. Many good calculators

I have it 5.7 too and work perfect iven on win 10 x64..cas4-cas4+ and many more done no problem.. I also want to buy orange5

I buy Orange5 china clone. Work great. Now i check in hc05b8, hc11e9, and eproms. All read and write very fast.

It’s almost the same as the price on the Orange website. Besides – on the webpage is written OEM.
Clone but includes – Immo HPX 9V0confirmed that oem orange 5 comes with immo hpx 9.0 and adapter set

On Hc908az60 secured it work’s good.
I have 4 secured mcu, and they work ok.
I have tried 68hc11, a lot of eeproms, and it work’s just perfect.

have clone and work perfect. I pay 230usd
2j74y ok
35080 ok
Tms immo opel ok
Hc05 immo old vw ok

I have Orange5 clone and everything works perfect for now.
I tested with 1J35D,4J74Y,1D69J,0D69J,0F82B,3K91D,TMS370c702

It is Clone but I confirmed that oem orange 5 comes with Immo HPX 9V0 and adapter set
The original Orange5 with adapter + same software around thousand dollors
Right got this in today. Software is very easy to install.
all functions open 1 – 10 exept car radio get error
tested reading usual eeproms all good
tested tms370 with adapter board did not read so maybe bad adapter board
tested immo login code from dump ,tms vw works
will test as i go
but there is one thing you should noticed
Well the original does not work with PSA so I don’t think the clone will

I read today 1d69j adapter success

this is a clone by the look of things and from downloading their software they have immo software and NEC software but only a couple from the radio software.
Here is all the immo images from their software if anyone wants them;
https://mega.nz/#!eoNQQaRA!u1r5kYYjtl2VXDuh8W5Fh39m_1J6IsW7C-cZHssurgw


TIP: Orange 5 Original vs Clone:
Do not get confused by Orange pricing. Orange charge separately for the device, the immo software, the airbag software and the radio software, plus a few specials.
All this comes with the clone.
To compare the two, you must add up all the costs from Orange. There is a very large saving if you buy the clone. But you cannot update it and you have no support from Scorpio. It will suit some people for sure. The adapters are poor quality, and for many the hardware does not work. No doubt as time goes by will will see huge threads about how to fix them. The company who makes it does not have a good reputation for quality or support.
I do not regret buying original Orange5 and Tango key programmer. But when I did there were no clones available as an alternative.
As for the Tango clone, it’s PCB and components are nothing like the original, and of a very poor quality. I have not seen inside an Orange5 clone yet.

Premium Tech Tool, Dev2tool and Visfeed Comparison

What is Volvo Premium Tech Tool, Dev2tool, Visfeed and How to use them for Volvo/Mack/Renault/UD trucks diagnostics and programming.


Volvo PTT Premium tech tool: for diagnosis
dev2tool: for programming
Visfeed: for reprogramming


For details, here you go.

What is tech tool:

OEM Diagnostic Tool. Premium Tech Tool (Volvo PTT) is a Windows-based diagnostic application specially designed to test, calibrate and program engine parameters.

  • Read / Interpret Fault Data
  • Extensive Diagnostic Tools
  • Facilitates Update Process
  • Clear all diagnostic trouble codes including emissions related ReGen codes.
  • This software will communicate with trucks below, with the proper interface device like Volvo Vocom 88890300 or Volvo VCADS

Volvo Trucks (Older electrical system, Vehicle electronics ’98, VERSION2, VERSION3, VERSION4)
Volvo Trucks (VERSION4 – FH4/FM4);
Volvo Buses (Conventional, Multiplexed, Multiplexed version 2, Multiplexed version 3)
Volvo Construction Equipment
Volvo Penta (VERSION2, VERSION3)
Volvo OEM Component Customer (VERSION2, VERSION3);
Mack Trucks (V-MAC I/II/III ITC, V-MAC IV, V-MAC IV+)
Renault Trucks (VERSION2, VERSION3, VERSION4);
UD Trucks (VERSION2, VERSION3, VERSION4)

Note: the latest Volvo Tech Tool: version 2.5.86
volvo-Tech-Tool-2.5.86
What is dev2tool:

  • Special tool to access and program parameters at any level without restriction;
    • Used primarily for program: speed limit, change CHASSIS ID, immobilizer neutralization;
    • Change minimum / maximum values of parameters, for example: increase speed limit;


with dev2tool, you have access to all levels(specially level 2) parameters
Dev2tool will give you access to over 11000 parameters! This is correct!
The only problem is that you truck DOES NOT have 11000 parameters.
I got dev2tool and I’ve tried to disable the egr on a 16L volvo engine (volvo D16D US model).
As I said with dev2tool you will see for example a parameter called “EGR Axis” but the ECU on the truck DOES NOT have that parameter in any programming levels.
Pretty much is not possible to disable unless you will find somebody (tuning company) that can reprogram your whole dataset on the engine ECU.

Note: the explanation of the parameters for Volvo trucks

That parameter HJM (level 5) it is only into PTT database. The ECU on Volvo trucks (US Model) does NOT have that parameter.
Anyway even if exist is not possible to change it because it is level 5.
You can change the value of that parameter but when you turn on the engine it will get back to it’s original value.
Level 5 is only function test, freeze frame data ….
I’ve tried already some level 5 to reprogram but NOPE … not working.

Note: Dev2tool for Tech Tool for parameter programming on new trucks FM4/FH4
Some of option
• Chassis ID Change.
• Immobilizer ON/OFF.
• Injector programming.
• Speed Limit programming.
Devtool- trucks-FM4-FH4
What is Visfeed:

  • Small Database Flash files.
It works as a Special tool to encrypt/decrypt/edit intermediate storage files for ADVANCED Volvo Trucks Diag users.
With this tool you have this interesting options:
• AdBlue OFF.
• Convert EUR3 to EUR5.
• EGR OFF.
• NOx Torque Reduction OFF.


The Tool is made to make all file rebuilding process as simple and easy as possible. It also allows to view ECU file and other information of part and sub part numbers, parameters, PID, PPID, SID, PSID, FMI. Checksum calculation possible of Intel HEX line and whole CSW file. For portability USB key included
