Lifetime membership, pay once
One payment and your account is a member account for good. No subscription. The course includes membership too.
What members get
Software, files and guides
Where members found the software, updates, files and short guides for the tools I review, one text page per tool. My own leftover videos and write-ups that do not fit a course land there too.
Ask me and the community
Ask about a job or a tool. I answer, and so do people who do this work every day.
Real-car experiences
See what worked or failed on a real car with a given scanner before you buy, and add your own.
Contact other members
Send a contact request to a member when you need help with a specific job.

Share a complete procedure
Record a service, coding or programming procedure with your scanner on a real car. A screen recording of the scanner is enough, phone video is fine. Write the steps, the car and what the tool did, and paste the video link (Google Drive or unlisted YouTube) into the experience form. I review every submission myself. A complete, honest one makes your account a lifetime member account, you get an email when it is in.
What does not count: a photo of the tool with one paragraph, or a result I cannot verify from the video. Partial results and failures count as long as the video shows what happened.

Is it a subscription?
No. You pay once, there is no monthly fee.
Does membership include the course?
No. The course is a separate purchase and includes membership. Membership on its own gives you the community, the software and file links and the experience reports.
What does lifetime mean?
Your membership stays active for as long as iamcarhacker.com runs, unless the purchase is refunded.
Can I get a refund?
Yes, within 14 days of buying, no reason needed. See the Refund Policy.
Where are the PIN, immo and radio code tools?
They moved to my separate file service site, Dumphacker.
