You can’t beat it with a stick!Works too perfection, no more going to the parts store and having them read your code…

I live in Atlanta Georgia and my son lives in Houston Texas. He drives a 2020 vehicle. He called complaining about his car was making a loud noise. He supposed to start a new job and this was going to stop him from going to his new job on Monday. This happened on a Saturday afternoon.So he used an app called my mechanic. The mechanic came to the home charge him $85 to tell him that he had a timing change problem. I sent this product to my son's house overnight it was there the next morning. My son hooked it up to his car turned it on and it gave him a simple diagnosis. He looked it up on YouTube figured how to fix it on his own and his car runs normal again. This thing saved me $1600 😂 mechanic should use this as a backup. They try to listen to the car like they used to back in a day. Being an auto mechanic used to be a science. This thing has made it in art! It was so easy to use even a fifth grader could use it. It was definitely reliable because after it provided the diagnosis my son was able to fix the problem his self. The connection is easy thank goodness cars today have universal connections. It's got a cool appearance it's lightweight and he can take it anywhere with them. And the readability was perfect enough for him to go on YouTube and figure it out on his own. I'm going to send one of these to all of my children Great advice to provide them for Christmas especially if they have older cars.

It can detect certain functions, but it’s hard to tell whether the readings are actually above normal. Sometimes the check engine light doesn’t come on, but the values still seem unstable. I would suggest including reference ranges for different car models to help interpret the data more accurately.

Tells me codes and allows me to clear them and read live data from my car

I work on my own can in almost all cases. It's made my life a lot easier. Even if you were never going to take it into a mechanic, the time it saves you in figuring out some car issues is worth it alone. Helps point you in the right direction if not just highlight the exact issue, depending on how sophisticated you car is I guess. Ask yourself, how much is my time worth?I've never used any other Scan tools of any kind so I don't have anything to compare to, but it's really easy to use and I like that the software updates through the app. That way you never have to worry that you scan tool is out if date or update the software manually through a PC.

Scans and displays trouble codes but does not clear code and reset engine light.

Would recommend

This OBD2 reader is awesome! I've used quite a few over the years. I loved how fast the device connected with the app. I had an engine code that was popping up frequently and the auto parts guys kept selling me on different fixes. This reader told me exactly what the issue was (spark plug) and showed it as intermittent. Instead of buying MAF sensors, crank case vents and fuel injectors, I found it's a simple spark plug replacement and I'll just get a tuneup. Not sure how much it just saved me, but I would rather know exactly what my truck needs and not go on a wild goose chase.The app is easy to use, just set your units of measurement and put in your vehicle info first. I found it was more descriptive that way. Performance features are cool to check out too. We are going to put it on a friend's street drag car and see what it tells us next weekend. Seems a lot cheaper than a Dyno appointment.
