I'm sure plenty of us would like to see it. Did you keep the IRIS 1 hardware and mirror on the factory screen, or overlay a separate piece of hardware [the phone]?

The IRIS 1 hardware is completely intact, nothing changed. The mirror is a completely separate system. Bluetooth is the only common thing.

hi everyone
I’m from Vietnam and i worked with them 9 months. I buy from them a mclaren tool for diagnostic and some functions like oil reset, key register, relearn, basic setting... All functions of this tool worked perfectly, and if i had any requests or need some help, they always support quickly.

About programming, I register mclaren technical portal page, and paid for them to reprogram some replace module and used j2534 tool like drewtech or atica.

I fixed almost 10 mclaren including 570, 650, 650 mso, 720. And their tool is really helpful.
I will tell you more details next time

Possibly interested, can you tell me if the diagcode software relies in any way on the mclaren service/mds and if so are you complying with their ULA? Specifically are you proxing security access tokens and reusing your MDS access you have?

And after you don't pay the annual subscription fee, that's all it's good for, after spending thousands of dollars on it the year before.

I have been doing my own services and repairs since I was a kid. 30 years of Ferraris, lots of Porsches and now Macca. I am not exactly low budget and it would be great to have a comprehensive tool...... but it has to make $ sense. Unless the car is an absolute POS, the enthusiast is going to use it a couple of times/year.

During my 2 year service, I needed to bleed the brakes, but one needs the tool to do it properly. I let the dealer do it. I think I paid $350. I would have loved to DIY...... not so much for the $ saved, but working on these is part of the hobby for me. $2K+$600/yr just doesn't make sense for the use I would get.

If someone puts together a comprehensive tool that they can sell for $500-$1000 and no ongoing fee BS, they would sell a bunch and corner the market.

To do bleeding for brakes you don't need the diagnostic tool , all what you need is brake bleeder or hand type vacuum tool to be use on every side you do bleeding .

you can do also manual bleeding but there will be waste of brake fluid and you will need someone to help you by pumping brake pedal if you not use the vacuum or bleeding tool .

the procedure is very easy :

first remember to use correct fluid DOT 5.1

Bleeding always you start from the farthest side from the master cylinder .

rear right then
rear left
front right
front left

For comparison, my $15 logging solution is every second for sure, maybe less, and I don't have a subscription.

I've written some tools for the tuner market and one thing I think we can all take heart in is that, once someone figures it out, everyone will copy it and this tends to drive costs down.

I hated being replicated for a fraction of the price but am rooting for the same to happen here :)

It's not like you're inventing new technology here, you're simply emulating the original tool. Everybody does the same thing and if you're not you're doing it wrong. Check out my other thread for alternatives ;)

Right, so do you want to be the leader who's name is associated with it by having a large market share because it's affordable and makes sense? Or, do you want to be another fish in the pond trying to get rich off of 10 people?

I'm in the same boat as you. I've been working on my own cars since I started blowing up Japanese turbo cars in the 90's, and I still enjoy doing most of my own service. I do track events 2-3 times a year and it's a huge PITA to take my car to the nearest McLaren dealer which is a 3 hour drive. I'd be willing to spend 1k tops on a unit that could do all of the above mentioned functions. The yearly subscription just gives me the feeling that I am being nickel and dimed for something that might not even get a lot of use. 2k and $600 a year, no way. With over 20k Mac's sold around the world and more being made every year, sales of a 1000 of these units (at $1k a unit) would bring in 1 million in revenue (not too shabby), but at the current price I can't see more than 250 being sold which is way less revenue. And I think most customers would be good with maybe a $100 per year subscription service to help offset the costs of software upgrades, etc. If you build it, they will come.

We need a hacked clone of the factory tool (normally provided by an enterprising Chinese engineer with no intelectual property rights restrictions). Regretfully, this amounts to rooting for theft which I have a hard time doing.

This is a bad strategy and not feasible even for the Chinese ;)
