Mut 3 for 2019 MR GLS Premium

Mut 3 for 2019 MR GLS Premium

Postby awill4x4 on Sat Feb 19, 2022 6:05 pm

I would like a diagnostic OBD2 tool suitable for my 2019 MR Triton GLS Premium for when I eventually start doing remote touring.
I have a Mut 3 tool but no software or laptop that is suitable as I believe it's a serial port which no one uses anymore.
Does anyone know if this Mut 3 is even compatible with my MR Triton if I had the correct software?
Alternatively. Are there other OBD2 tools available that are capable of doing things like a forced DPF burn and possibly resetting hard codes if necessary?

MUT3 is software on a computer. That pair is commonly known as a MUT. What do you have then?

Sorry, but it took me a while to figure out how to post images from my computer.
This is the unit I have but I have no SD card to go in the slot or software to put on a laptop.
I can possibly find an old laptop that has a serial port to connect to this unit.
Is it worth persisting with this or is a new(er) OBD2 diagnostic tool a better option?

This is not a MUT. This is a VCI, and an old one. The current VCI is 2 generations on from this. Only good for up to 2016 vehicles, and you need a old MUT3 software on a laptop to use it. MUT3SE software ( current version ) will not recognise it.

VCI = vehicle communication interface. Goes between car and Computer. This type did have standalone recording functions, but needed a Computer to initialise those functions.

Connects via USB lead to laptop

Basically a brick now

Thanks for the heads up DibbyDibbyDJ regarding the unit.
I thought that may have been the case but it never hurts asking a question.
Offhand. Are there any aftermarket units you could recommend?
Cheers Andrew.

I use an EDS on my MR, It gives me various data streams i can look at, and code reading. But no functionality for BBi-directional systems (DPF regen, SQL. etc)

Ultra gauge is another unit that has similar functions.

If you really must have Bi-directional functions, then you will need to up your budget. Autel, Maxxis and launch are ones i have used.

I Have my own unit for work, which is a Snap-on unit, and can do everything the MUT3 can except for key programming and VIN writing

I use an EDS on my MQ also which can clear engine codes and read basic codes. Has got me out of trouble before.
I looked at the Launch x431 pros V few months back to do a more comprehensive scan and diagnostics, predominantly to be able to do forced regen and Small Quantity Injector relearn on the MQ but gave up since I couldn't get a definite answer whether or not it could do it. Some said yes and others said no, and others said yes but got it confused with injector coding. And nobody was willing to refund if it didn't do what I wanted.
@awill4x4 did you find something that suited your needs?

Thanks gartam I'll check them out.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a diagnostics tool that will do Small Quantity Injector relearn also?
