Have no clue if that OBD scanner is useful. But it sure sounds like a “gee whiz fancy doo-hickey thing-a-ma-jig”. So it’s gotta be good, right?

Who wrote that thing? A 12 year old?

As a former ASE certified master mechanic/machinist with L1 certs I can tell you that it's not a professional diagnostic tool. You won't find Ferrari techs using this thing. But they're fine for DIY'ers. I have one. They are good for the DIY driveway weekend warrior. They will give you codes and some data and can get you pointed in the right direction. I often grab my FIXD unit before I dig out the Snap-On scan tools.

Based on your comments, and based on the continued research I did, just ordered one.

My "Good" scanner says it needs ANOTHER upgrade, before it can do anything.

I'll give it a shot, thanks for your useful feedback and guidance!

Cheers!

When I get my bonus I'm buying an Autel.

But their annual license is now $600

Sadly, I'm a cheep bastage ......
Well the functionality for a full blown bi-ditectional diagnostic tool is the difference in price.
