Works amazingly. Only issue is with the paid services not included with purchase. Only a free trial. No longer you need to go autozone, you can find out what's going on with your car.

The FIXD device is a convenient tool for car owners, offering insights into their vehicle's health. It plugs into the OBD-II port, providing real-time diagnostic information through an app. Its user-friendly interface and clear explanations make it accessible to all levels of car knowledge. However, its effectiveness might vary based on the complexity of issues. Overall, it's a handy gadget for monitoring and understanding your car's status.

A lot of good features usable and readable out of box, however some basic nice to know ones locked behind a subscription. Fair game though, and there is a free trial to at least see if its worth it for you. However theres entire other chunks of options that come with the subscription that i wasnt interested in personally and didnt see the value behind, so opted to stop the trial. Great price for what you are receiving! - Feels plasticy, its made of plastic. Looks small, its hidden in most vehicles when plugged in. Make sure to double check where your OBD-II port is just in case. Instructions are clear, only a smartphone is required, and the technical know-how to download a single app and youre off to the races.

This little device can help you saving some money by diagnosing the car problems for you when it broke down, instead of bringing it to a mechanic and don’t know how much they’re gonna charge you. If the problem is simple, you can even follow the suggested solutions to fix it yourself. So it’s a must-have tool for your car!

I’m not someone who is super knowledgeable about cars, so this purchase put my mind at ease after a regrettable car purchase. It has a real simple set up and the readings are relatively easy to understand. As much as this product comes in handy, I would have put a lot more thought into it beforehand if I had realized I was going to be stuck paying another 70 dollars on top of it for the app it communicates the information to. Definitely felt knowingly deceptive from a marketing standpoint. I hate hidden fees. I’d much rather have the information presented black and white so I can have a fair chance at making a truly informed decision. Even if I had general knowledge prior to the purchase of fees with the app, 70 dollars is significant information in my opinion.

Easy way to do simple diagnostics

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 was surprised by Best Buy selling this item.
Even they had a good price.
I needed to know the codes for my wife's mb c350 right away. I found one at local best buy.
At the first scan, Fixed couldn't
But they emailed me the details of the codes I ended up replacing oxygen sensor.
Cheapest scanner for mercedes. You don't have to buy a new one in the future. This one is web based scanner.
I recommend this product.

This device helped me pin point specifically what was wrong with my car. A lot of free features come with it but be aware for a subscription of 9.99 a month if you NEED the extra services which was worth it for me such as finding the specific parts/ best price on trusted sites and the best one of all finding details of mechanics shops and I mean details such as if the shop puts parts on that you purchased instead of paying what the shop gets it for. Not many shops in my area like it when you buy your own parts for them to install.
This device can remove the lights and not to mention can carry over to other vehicles, I’ve already helped a few neighbors and friends out with this device. It comes in handy

I've read the AD for this product twice and didn't find any clue that it has a premium feature. I thought that I was paying $65 for the whole product. Or you make de hardware for free/cheaper or you make the software for free. Pay for the hardware and then for the the software doesn't look fair. And please put on the AD that there's a premium feature on the app

Need to pay for subscription. App not for tablets.

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.

This is useful product to see the issues that stems for check engine signs and see what estimated cost for fix would be. But you have to buy the upgraded monthly paid software to get pricing from the app directly. Otherwise you have to do it the old fashioned way and call a mechanic and explain the issue for a quote.
I don’t use it everyday but it was worth it for the price it cost for quick, at hand diagnostics and for the severity assessment. To see if ou can drive it today or you can wait a week(s) before you have to take it in. Helpful and gives you a piece of mind.

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.

This thing honestly saved my life, allows me to check out the codes from my check engine light on with bluetooth on my phone. You can use this 100 percent without the monthly service, it will still tell you the code and whats wrong, then you just take it to google yourself and do your own research, it will also let you clear the code and reset the check engine light, I got the free montly trial when i got it, the paid service does not tell you anything that google cant, I 100 percent would recomend this thing, just not the service the pitch you.

Connected and set up easily. Instantly reported which cylinder # was misfiring, as well as #’s previously serviced. Cleared lights for problems fixed, as well as for past routine maintenance performed by myself. ( all without the optional subscription)
