Review on πŸ”Œ NEXPEAK Bluetooth OBD II Scanner ELM 327 V1.5 OBD2 Diagnostic Scan Tool for Android Devices – Auto Car Code Reader with ON/Off Switch by Ricky Bedell

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I am not thrilled with this device and have no plans to use it again in the future. Should have returned.

Although I am confident that the device is reading the codes correctly, it fails, making them very difficult to understand or not written in plain text. These aren't even full results, and the results you get are just a bunch of code with no explanation in layman's language. So hopefully you have a mechanic friend who is willing to explain what little information you are given. Unfortunately, I have to say that using this "not very convenient" device is not that useful and requires a lot of work. I should also add that while I am confident that the software you were trying to download is not malware, I keep getting malware/software that is a risk bug, especially with torque application software. I don't know if it's just my Android version or what but it says it's suspicious and needs to be removed. But like I said, I'm convinced this isn't harmful, so I hope I'm not wrong. I really want this device to work for my car as the concept is really amazing. And I'm not sure if all devices like this are equally inconvenient for the user, but based on that I have to say that this just works correctly and doesn't seem to tell me anything about the internal state of my car. Maybe I need to try another company/product to get better results, I don't know. I just encourage you to really search for what seems the most user-friendly.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
