    I use this all the time, works fine for just finding the basic ideas of what’s wrong. Reads your codes and let’s you know what they mean, it’s really all you need.

    I hope people aren’t dumb enough to think that by clearing a code in their car is going to make the problem go away? yes, the light will go out but will come right back on when the problem continues, no?

    besides making a potential buyer think there are no problems with a car, why would you want to just clear the codes if the problem wasn’t fixed?

    A friend of mine bought that. It’s an awful interface. The app is stupid. And tries to sell you for subscription upgrades.

    A $25 performance tool code reader and Google is alot easier to use.

    I have one, it is great if you don’t need abs or non powertrain codes. Gives you a description of the problem, its severity, and what can happen if you don’t fix it.

    i have that exact one it’s good and free to use but when you first get it it auto signs you up for a $70/year subscription that basically only points you to a mechanic that can fix any problems it finds (unless if you work on your own car) and the subscription is a pain to cancel but if you do get it cancelled it’s pretty good

    Torque pro is $2 flat one time payment, an ELM327 adapter is $5 on eBay with free shipping.

    With those two things I can view and clear codes and look at live data. Hell I can make a whole ass custom dash if I’m bored.

    If you want anything more , you’ll want a proper scanner. Can’t help you there. I’m broke and don’t have one.
