Review on FOXWELL Diagnostic Function Chevrolet Cadillac by Anthony Shields

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Very limited features

I liked it at first but the tool and software leave a lot to be desired. i will return it It crashed for me a couple of times while working with the data stream. There are no batteries in the device. If you want to turn off and view the data on the device, you can't. You can save the data if you recorded live data, but you need to read it in the tool if you want to see the chart. The PC application does not display the chart and you cannot print the data. Support said to print the data but that's not an option lol. Still on hold, it's not an option in the app. This means that connecting to a computer is suitable for installing updates or turning on the device. The relevant data is read by the scanner, not the computer application. If it had batteries it would be bearable. Most tests have worked so far. Some didn't. SRS light came on, no codes found. The tire size listed was not even close. When I fixed it I got a memory error. But he kept the information, so it's a bit strange. ABS Brake Bleed says it set the code(s) but nothing was found. No pending codes, no ABS codes, no airbag codes. I liked the tool until I stopped using it. It just looks like another paperweight. I can perform almost all the functions of the old scanner, I just need a tool adapted to my car. I think the support just let me down. The answers and suggestions provided did not exist, the technician told me to use features that the foxassist app did not have, when I submitted the photos and said that was not an option, I was asked to wait a minute. It was 40 minutes ago. The setup was easy, the update was easy, the need to connect it to a computer to view saved data in a graphical format is simply inappropriate (here's the idea of adding batteries to the device), and the application itself does not work . It's very useful. This is very bad as it is a powerful tool that is too cumbersome to use and you need to be tied to a machine or computer to use it.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
