Does NOT work with FORSCAN software for anyone wondering that uses that. Works fine for ordinary type scanning software like Torque, etc. /Dylan

Your comment cannot be blank.

I don't know what moron said that. This is simply a scanner to scan your check engine light and find out the error so you can fix it.

I don't know how someone can think that this can trick the car into believing that it doesn't have a problem. If a car has an issue with a sensor, then it has an issue with a sensor and this DOES NOT trick the car into believing anything.

But it looks like someone tricked you into believing that they know how to work on cars. Please let someone else work on your car for you!
Highly recommend, beats taking chances over some of the knockoffs that have mixed reviews.

it will let you pull codes. your app can tell you what the code means, or you can look it up on the internet.

Highly recommend getting one of the much shorter profile options. Lots of cars have the OBD2 port in the driver's footwell and these tall adapters often get in the way.

In the torque app u can click on the code and it will take you to a web page where it explains what the code is.

Highly recommended. Has saved me a bunch of money on repairs. I check the error for the check engine light and was able to diagnose an ignition coil was misfiring. $80 to replace and only took a few minutes to do. Dealer did the same repair on a different ignition coil before I bought the scanner and the charger me $1000 to replace the coil and spark plugs. I use the torque pro app.

Seeing the cars that completely died after trying this, pass. Too much risk for small trade-off.

Agreed on this thing saving so much money over the years. Just remember the code you read isn't usually a direct answer to what's wrong. Codes are often caused by possibly 10 different things. I have this exact model, purchased like 6 years ago and it still works fine for me.

I use Torque pro as well. I've only used it on older cars, nothing newer than 2006 if it matters.

What cars? Where are you seeing this? Do these people have fuses in their cars fusebox? I have doubts.

Does this support older vehicles as well 2000 yr or newer?

The car has to have OBD2 port in order to operate this scanner properly.

Quote from kovy :
What's the deal with all the reviews saying this bricked their car??

It's mostly ones leaving it in the port which even according to Scotty is a bad idea since it was designed to be a scanner tool not plug in and leave reader. I wouldn't take a chance on screwing up cars computer (just in case) by leaving it in the port constantly connected but that's just my opinion.
