I bought this because I do most of the work on my car myself and had an idea of what my check engine light was for, this product confirmed my assumption of a bad co2 sensor, it even told me the specific sensor that was bad.

Works amazingly. Only issue is with the paid services not included with purchase. Only a free trial.

Great idea, can't wait to try it. I always take my car in different mechanics and they always tell me a bunch of different things and then I go to a family member that knows a lot about cars and he's always right I want to try this on him.lol

Easy to use. Helps with simple diagnostics before you have to go to the dealer or mechanic. Did not do the premium, but for some issues it might be worth the cost just so you know your auto repair choice is being honest about the problem. Got it on sale which was a bonus. Use it on several different vehicles of family and friends. Works well.

I would give it 5 stars but like everything else now u need a premium subscription to get the best of a product which is not worth the value since u can google the codes for make and model elsewhere if you have the time

The free functionality is limited to scanning OBDii codes. So, this turns out to be a costly OBDii scanner. For complete functionality, paid subscription is required, which is a bummer for me.
Also, the app did not work on my tablet (the description of the app showed 'not optimized', though). I have to find a phone to get the app working.

Very very useful for those who want detailed information on the error codes that their vehicle is showing. But there is a monthly subscription if you want all the features. I think it's worth it considering all you get with it. I recommend this to those of us who don't know alot about cars and want to be sure they're getting accurate and detailed information.

Exceptional Diagnostic Tool!

This is an exceptional diagnostic tool for anyone. It'll clear the engine light and allow the consumer to have a good understanding of the cause and if it's an emergency repair or it can wait. A consumer will get 7 days free and then its 69.00 for six months. That tid-bit of info should be added in the description.

I love this diagnostic tool, but be aware, in order to take advantage of most of the features, you will need to get a membership. I opted in for the yearly subscription, which is $59.99, whereas the monthly subscription is $8.99. So while the price of the device itself might be catching, you have to pay additional fees to actually use it...

Plugs in easy. App wasn’t too hard to use. It will find logged issues from your ECU and breakdown the codes further.

It's not as good my mechanic's $5,000 machine but it is easy to use and gave a clean bill of health just like his machine did...for a whole lot less money. Used it before a purchase of a used car and it gave it a clean bill of health just like the more expensive unit.

This WILL save you money. I live in MN and our winters get cold. Plugged it into my car after the dreaded check engine light came on. Searched the code that came up with my car. Turns out my car is known for throwing this particular code when it gets MN-winter-cold out. Not knowing what the light was on for could have been a few hundred bucks or more, but when the temp got above negative the light went off. Could have cleared the code, but didn't. Wanted to see if it was correct. It was. It is extremely easy to use as well. It does do its best to upsell you on add-ons though. That is its only downside.
