Review on ๐Ÿ” Creader VII+ OBD2 Scanner - Automotive Diagnostic Scan Tool for ABS, SRS, Transmission, Engine Code Reader by Paul Lewis

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It may be ok if your error has an error code, however.

This product does a lot of what it's supposed to. What I don't like is that you have to do dynamic scans if you don't have any codes, and there's no way to save dynamic scans. You need to know what options to look out for when a problem arises and view or scroll through them while driving. If you don't see the erroneous reading when it occurs, it's gone. I think it's a bit unsafe to focus on while driving. What really bothers me is that the product description claims to be able to save and play back for dynamic scanning. This was one of the reasons I bought it. I also found it funny that I had to google to figure out how to switch from Chinese characters, which is easy once you know. Not entirely useless. I think it helped me figure things out after a few rides as I was looking and scrolling through different options while riding. It would be nice to look at all the parameters after a ride and without a ride, if the declared possibility really exists. I think there should be another product that allows you to save and view all settings and have a better picture later when you don't need to focus on driving. I recommend shopping. Even if you're just looking for error codes, there are products available at a much lower price.

Pros
  • Confident
