Safe shopping - it has already paid for itself

At a price of around โ‚ฌ10, the risk of making a mistake when buying this product is small. It worked great straight away, it actually came in an envelope. The shipping materials and the product itself look cheap but do the job. I was able to install it in my 2014 Honda Civic and pair it with no problems. Then I started looking for and downloading a free app. I've chosen Torque and will experiment with other free apps when time allows. I then connected the device to my 1999 Nissan Maxima which was the original reason I bought this code reader. Pairing was quick and easy, and I was able to read three fault codes, all of which indicated an ignition issue that I felt would most likely be fixed by replacing the ignition coil for cylinder 6, which is on the front driver's side. Engine. Then I'll test it on my 1999 Chevy Suburban, but I'm pretty sure it will work. My favorite feature is creating a watch face that shows instantaneous mileage per gallon, which I enjoy looking at while driving. I believe this code reader has already paid for itself. I can buy a few extras so I don't have to take them to every car and give them away to DIY friends with old cars from around 1996 as gifts. The device works very well to the point that it appears transparent. The real problem seems to be choosing the best Android compatible program to use. I didn't even open the minidisk that was in the envelope. I seem to remember that he had dangerous or similarly dangerous software. There should be no need to download any of this. I can't remember which pairing code worked, whether it was 0000 or 1234. But one of the two suggestions worked.

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • There are nuances
