Functionality but some tweaks couldn't hurt

As with many of the other reviews here, this unit did the job. I needed a scanner to automatically bleed the ABS on a 2002 Silverado after replacing all the brake lines. As recommended by others, ensure you download the software from the supplier prior to use, update the vehicle manufacturer details on the supplied data card to ensure you have the latest definitions for your vehicle make and model. I removed a star because, as others have pointed out, the ABS Auto Bleed system does not automatically recognize your make, year and model, so you have to enter all of this information manually after plugging the device into your car's socket to have. Aggravating. I'm also disappointed that I can't use this device on a 2014 Silveado that I also own. I need to buy another separate unit to auto prime my other truck. It would be nice if they expanded the data definitions for newer models to save some money for people like us.
