Customer Rating: Summary: substandard product not worth the price Comment: Ordered this product for my husband a month ago for $69 through Amazon.
The excellent spouse asserts that he used this product a dozen different times on various makes and models of cars. After a few weeks, the lights on the read-out screen dimmed and the cord exhibited a faulty connection. Attempts to jiggle the cord and restart would work for a few minutes, and then the unit would shut down. After a few such efforts, it failed to restart at all.
He's having trouble getting hold of the manufacturer Finding this scanner to be of very poor construction, he's extremely disappointed. Customer Rating: Summary: great buy Comment: this scanner works just like they say you have everything you need to scan your auto. WORTH EVERY PENNY!! Customer Rating: Summary: A must for your car Comment: I had a check engine light on. the dealer wanted 150$ to hook up the diag. Bought this diag. Turns out all I needed was a new gas cap. It paid for itself the in about 2 mins. A must for your tool box these days. Customer Rating: Summary: I'm glad I read the reviews Comment: I had thought about buying the least expensive OBD II on Amazon. I bought it for my daughter's 1995 Volvo 850 GLT. It has an onboard computer system that will show you the codes. It is very difficult to turn the Check Engine Light off. I replaced the heated O2 sensor and just wanted to turn the Check Engine Light off. A reviewer had said how easy this model was to use and read. I am glad I sent the extra money. It was "easy" to read and to use. Thanks for putting those reviews on Amazon.
Yours truly,A Happy Customer Customer Rating: Summary: Will easily pay itself off. Comment: I have two cars and between the two of them I will have at least one check engine light yearly. The codes were simple to read and understand, and even easier to clear the codes. Being a novice mechanic, the diagnostic codes in this device will serve me well. What it doesn't have will probably mean I should take it to the mechanic anyway.
It's a good tool to have in a tool kit, plus is relatively inexpensive.
I could not get the CD to work however. But it appears to be not completely necessary.
