So I realized by looking at the screen shot posted earlier that it is very similar to my Launch X431 pro mini scanner screen. Previously I had unsuccessfully tried to navigate the various choices under the DME system to see if I could fined the over-rev information. I tried it again today with the instructions provided by Prius and I was able to extract all the info. See my screen shots below.

This is good news for any launch users.

So this is awesome and I just used it but ... does anyone get just a tad queasy about using a super cheap Chinese device with software of unknown provenance to update their vehicle that has life saving systems aboard? Just trying to apply the right amount of paranoia here.

Your house and life is littered with super cheap Chinese software, its wrapped with "name brand" items and a high price to make you feel better

I’m pretty careful about what they can do and the ones that can do things have software whose provenance I trust.

I haven't seen this question yet, but would this work with one of these Android HU's that some people have swapped the PCM for? I haven't a clue how Android works, but it seem the HU's are using the same OS as the Android tablets, correct me if I am wrong. If this was the case, it could be kinda cool to pull diagnostic info/code the car right from your HU.

Is this equally useful for the 991.2 platform?

SO I bought the ThinkDiag+ to check a few things, but decided to check the DME report.

Can someone help me make sense of the report?

First off, 1656 hours, on a car that has 9321 miles. Average speed 5.5 mph? I bought the car 6 months ago. Unless the previous 2 owners made it into a police car, this doesn't make sense. Likewise the interior doesn't show 1656 hours of wear.

6942 hours in Rev range 1? How are rev range hours 1 more than total hours.

This report is not adding up. Zero rev range 2? Does the Think Diag Read this correctly?

IIRC range 1 are time spent in redline but there is a calculation for that dependent on each car.

Most people focus on range 2 through 6, as those are mechanical revs beyond limits (eg money shifts/ bad down shifts) . Good news here is they are all 0.

Thanks yeah, what doesn't make sense is total hours for miles (9231 miles, 1600 hours), and 6942 hours in rev range one? Something is off in the display.
