– Files included:
– Security: Unknown
Note: The software is not from me. I hold no responsibility of a bad use.
You can use the last version- Renault CAN CLiP 171 software with security.
CANCLIP V171 is tested by professionals and users many many times. You can use that with relief.
Now,
obdii365 experts are testing Renault CLIP 172 for you all. The result will be reported here.
Note: when you try to update Renault CLIP software (for clone tool) and it asks you for device serial number, you can put numbers from 1 to 7… or all zeros…
Renault CAN CLiP update issues & solutions:
Issue: CAN CLIP firmware update at 20% (solutions)
Here are some customer solutions of Renault CAN CLIP firmware update stops at 20%, some solved by files rename and some by CLIP pcb reword.
Solutions:
Solution I: (said 100% working)
For those who have a Chinese Can clip that remain stuck at 20% on the update of the firmware here is the procedure to stop the worries and can again use the Clip device.
Must rename the following files:
C: \ CLIP \ DATA \ APPLI \ PARAMS \ appliiso.s19 in appliiso.bak
C: \ CLIP \ DATA \ APPLI \ PARAMS \ applican.s19 in applican.bak
tested by my self work 100%
Solution II:
if firmware update stops at 20% the solution is very easy
Exist some problems in hardware … ISO pcb or CAN pcb
For bypass that error search for 2 files APLIISO.S19 and APLIICAN.S19 and rename this files to .bak one time ISO …start the soft and ceck …. and one time CAN and restrt the soft and ceck…and you see where is the problem CAN hardware or ISO hardware….
The files is located here :
C:\ASDE\MODULES\
C:\CLIP\DATA\APPLI\PARAMS\
If you have renamed the right file no more firmware stop at 20% but the problem on hardware remain and is possible use the interface only for ISO or only for CAN vehicles…..or put the interface in trash !!!!
BUT, some say the exactly reasons for 20% update problem is not the software problem! It’s HARDWARE problem with your clone CLIP sonde. You probably have bad flash chip or bad soldering, or bad oscillator, or, … you name it, but anyway as I said it’s pure hardware problem. You can avoid firmware update for ISO or CAN board with renaming few files, but that is not solution because if you can’t update firmware, your CLIP will not work properly.
Solution III:
Besides two pcb’s inside Clip (can and iso) there is small thrid pcb where is round connector for car cable . When this cable is plugged and unplugged to Clip very often ( which needs a little force ), then solderings on metal pins which links this small pcb with rest of clip are breaking with the time.
You just need to resolder connections of these pins.
I did it and it solve update 20% problem
Q: Why to choose reprogramming through a cd-rom?
A: Because to use the other option, (renault net), you need to have the renault server/account…
Q: What is the purpose of renault can clip reprogramming?
A: This update installs an updated version of the ECU software, it can be released for example, if renault found a glitch in the previous versions, or to make slightly changes as the engine gets older etc…
Q: Do you know if you can reprogram a Renault ECU for more than 1 times???
A: With clip, if the software available is higher than the one installed, you can… You can’t install a lower/older version…
Q: What’s the Renault can clip programming mode serial
A: Renault clip on programming: It asked for a 7-digit serial (digits 0-9).
123456789 works good
all Zeros 0000000
1234567 works fine
Note: with Renault Can Clip china clone, you need luck to do ECU programming and key programming. But most have no luck to do this. You’ll get what you pay for. The Clone are much more cheaper than the Genuine. Usually, CANCLIP interface clone is good at basic OBD2 diagnostic tests and ECU reprogramming only.
