Technical What laptop software
With a Bluetooth elm327
I use multiecuacan on a windows PC
On an android phone use alfaobd free,.torque and car scanner
With a multiplexer
I use WoW and Delphi
There's plus and minuses to each
Some only connect to the engine, some are missing things I use, some are quicker and so on
China elm327 are hit and miss, some are fine some don't work correctly,.you can't tell just by looking at them
Multiecuscan(pc) and alfaobd(android) both allow poxi.alignment
To connect to some modules you will need to either modify the dongle or buy an adapter
Most things can also be done with a cheap "KKL switched" cable, but be aware there are some modules it will not connect to like the dash
A usb elm327 usb apparently more reliable, but I have never experienced any problems using a Bluetooth one
MultiECUscan can be a faff to set up, and on some model it's missing long and short term trim values
The whole world uses LTFT and STFT but for some reason in MES it's labeled FRA and DTV and buried or not available at all, no idea if it's there on the 100HP

Do you have any links to were i can get a copy of the software.?
https://www.multiecuscan.net/ for PC
WoW and Delphi are pro software not cheap
I have never run it on a PC, worked fine on my phone. The free version allowed quite a lot of functionality but does not allow bidirectional control, so thing like switching the fan or dash lights are block in the the free vertion
Car scanner is very great for reading engine codes if you have an android phone

I got on quite well with the free version of alfaobd on an android phone, before I progressed
No idea if it's still okay, and never tried the pc version
Multiecuscan was a right faf to get working, free version doesn't record live data for very long, but enough to get by with, managed to diagnose an airbag fault,.used it with both kkl and elm327
99% of the time I only need to read engine codes or live data so the "car scanner" is the the most used, quick and simple and light, posted some live data using it occasionally on here
Very occasionally I need anything else
Your is a china generic Bluetooth elm327, same as these I own
They are random if they will work fully, they nearly all work to read engine codes, the rest is hit and miss, you can't tell from the case they are packaged in
I'd start by testing if it's compatible,.if you have access to an android phone, there's a program free on Google play store
Elm327 identifier
Only one of these three actually works fully
It will either come back like this
Or hopefully
