Not working, no support

Start reading the manual, USB connectivity and updates are expected. Can see it as an undefined USB device but cannot access it at all. Okay, maybe I need to get the file from the company. You have to register to be able to search for downloads at all. After registration, the model is not even in the list! FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS? nope community forum? nope support number? If you live in China. Tried on 2 computers, none of them. He comes back.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Negative impression

Holy Speed!: Tools for diagnostics, testing and measurement

I had a Launch OBD2 reader and another cheap unbranded device at home and this one blows them both out of the water. The display is clear and large, the buttons are large and easy to press (even with gloves) and most importantly, the SPEED of this device. I'm used to a 1-2 second delay between pressing a button and seeing what I just pressed. This OBD2 reader is almost instantaneous. It felt like I was using a good smartphone. In terms of functionality, it's the same as everyone else.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Save $69 Money: Diagnostic, Test, and Measurement Tools

Let me tell you how I saved $$ using this device. I was at the playground with my daughter when my check engine light came on. I was lucky that one of the guys pulled this device out of his car, scanned my car and found the exact problem, the intake manifold. Well at least I knew at that point I could still take the car to a mechanic who was going to charge me $80 to tell me exactly what the problem was. Well I called VW, told them what the code was and VW told me my manifold was under warranty

Pros
  • Pleasant to Use
Cons
  • There Are Flaws

The need to upgrade out of the box; I can't register

Instructions are terrible. I had to download the update immediately. So if you're not used to installing updates and browsing websites, I wish you the best of luck. Create an account there, then go to the "Download" section. Extract the file in .rar format. You need to unzip the file, I hope you know how. Then go to the directory and locate the driver section and run the install.bat file. Now you can connect it to your computer. Now return to this directory and run the updater. It will open the

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Some little things
