With DRBIII emulator, you can have your Car Diagnostic Tool Micropod 2 for old Chysler the year 1997 – 2004 (2005). Without DRBIII, Micropod 2 clone only works for Chrysler made after the year 2003. That is, you have a way for old Chrysler with a cloned Micropod 2 unit.

Third, wiTech software is confirmed also no issues with this wiTech Micropod2.

It’s tested 100% by real professionals working for obd2tool.com

Note: what is DRB3 and what’s wiTech? What’s the main difference The DRB3 emulator is part of Chrysler’s Witech software. The Witech software supports two different pass-through devices, The VCI pod which is sold with the Witech system and the Chrysler Starmobile. The DRB3 emulator is a convenience item for dealerships to allow the use of their current witech scan-tool on older non CAN bus vehicles. It is not by any means a cost saving option.

That’s all. Hope it’s helpful to you all.
