Great price for a OBD2 scanner
This OBD2 scanner is price right and fits perfectly in my well hidden OBD2 port on my 2009 Honda Civic. Even though I don't have a check engine light on and I only have 77k miles, one day it will and this scanner will tell me what the problem may be. I ran a check and everything came back in normal specs. As Scottie Kilmer says in his YouTube videos, it's not best to bring your car to the dealer or mechanic with a check engine light on and leave it to them to tell you what it might be. He suggests buying a inexpensive scanner (he recommends several) and finding out for yourself first. It might be a easy fix that you can do yourself and save a lot of money.

Works great
Nice scan tool, easy to use, informative. I purchased this as a backup and it could actually be a main scan tool.

Quick diagnosis of a 2006 Ford check-engine light
2006 Freestar 3.8 V6: Quickly listed 2 P2004 check-engine codes, provided good description of issue. Further research showed common problem with bushings/arms breaking/falling out, matching my problem. Fixed with Doorman pack of 5 for <$10. Apparently earlier service to replace I/M gasket did not get these back in properly. Fixing it myself in about an hour, saved money/time + now I know they are in correctly (tricky to get all 4 legs in its hole). Spend extra $10 on this model for larger display.

The instructions for setting it are very unclear.

Little nervous after trying to set up
I went to their site and hit the download. My security software waved me off saying it was suspicious. Tried using it on my cars. Seems to work as advertised.

Don't waste your money on this. It doesn't support my camry 2019 model. Car check engine light is on. This device shows 2 error but when I try to read. It shows not supported. I have to go to dealer to check the codes. I have wasted my money. Please don't buy anyone
