You don't need that.

This is not what you need, even if you think it is what you need. Keep searching. The product arrived well packaged and easy to use. I was able to use it to read DTCs on my Hyundai Sonota when I first used it. But about the third time I used it (just to read DTCs) it didn't work. The spinning circle on the screen kept spinning. I disabled it and tried again. The same thing. It ended up launching into a different screen, but it was in Chinese, and I don't speak or read any language other than English. I started contacting the seller via email. I asked if there was a way to just plug it into my home computer or download software to fix the problem and unfortunately I was told there wasn't. I will say the customer service was very good and told me not to worry because they would send me the exact same thing I bought. They did and I was satisfied until it was exactly the same as the first product I received because after using it about 3 times just to read DTCs on my Sonata it also crashed when I tried reading the codes on my 2006 Chevy. Impala. However, the last time I emailed, I received an undeliverable message, no useful emails, and I'm stuck with not one but two scan tools that can't be programmed or reset to work in any way to function. Not exactly what I had in mind when I spent my hard-earned money on an OBDll reader. I recommend that if you don't have the money and time to waste, continue to buy another company's product. I wish I could say something better, unfortunately I can't.
