I can't say I dislike anything about this analyzer! It comes in a very nice case that fits the instrument perfectly. The mesh pouch contains the included charging cable, a booklet and a handy owner information card. The OBD-II key is stored and locked inside below. There is an integrated handle with a strap to help you hold it. There are two USB ports under a protective cover at the top. The start and initialization was quite easy, the instructions are clear. The brochure is very detailed and informative, but a must! Quick and easy to use. It recognized my car within seconds and displayed the VIN, engine type and make/model. Thinktool mini provided a lot of data. It turned out that I had a defective pressure sensor in the left front tire. The transmitter unit is defective. I was able to order a replacement. It took me 6 minutes to get a full working profile of how my car's monitoring system works. While I was on a test drive, it provided real-time data. There's a learning curve. You have to search to find out what certain codes mean and you can't print directly from the device to a network printer. Prints only on the included printer, which must be purchased separately. However, this allows you to send all available data and codes to your own email address where they can be printed out and given to your mechanic for further diagnosis and repair. It also allows you to reset repetitive but intermittent codes. Nice function! A worthwhile purchase for me.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Blank
