| Feature | CarProg (v5.0) | iProg (v1.45) | |-----------------------|---------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------| | Microcontroller | STM32F103 (in clones) | PIC18F (original design, clones use PIC too)| | Communication ports | USB 2.0, external 12V power (optional) | USB 2.0 only (no external power) | | Physical interfaces | 16-pin OBD, clips, probes, 2x expansion | 16-pin OBD, probes, 1 expansion port | | Build quality (clone) | PCB often poorly soldered; weak voltage reg.| Better PCB layout in some clones; still basic| | Power sourcing | Can power small MCUs via USB | USB only – insufficient for some 5V/12V EEPROMs |
