Default Chinese PIWIS Users Take Note

Hi All,

Just wanted to share a bit of information that may be useful to anyone else who uses a clone PIWIS: mine refused to connect to my car when I tried using it today and after conferring with the company from which it was purchased, I was advised to change the computer's date to January 8th, 2020. After making this change, the unit began working like normal again. Apparently the transition to 2021 caused some issues with the software interaction between the car and the PIWIS. Just thought I'd share in case anyone else runs into a similar issue.

Ian

I was having Loading OBX Data screen issues. It wouldn’t move past this screen. Adjusted the date and now it will move on

but still no communication to USB or vehicle it seems.

was working no problem a few weeks ago on this machine

Your computer still shows a 2021 date, no?
