Easy to update: tools and equipment

I always read comments before I buy anything. I've searched Amazon for an OBD reader, but it seems every OBD reader has some update/installation issues. I randomly chose this one because it has more positive reviews than others. After receiving it I found it very easy to install. Decided to make a 'how to' video to help other people who can't update it successfully. FYI I'm using Windows 10

Cons
  • Some bugs

Quality product but requires more detailed instructions for non-mechanics.

A problem with the oxygen sensor has been pinpointed. A better and more detailed user guide is needed, detailing the abbreviations used by the scanner. The I/M function needs an explanation of what to do when there is a red X next to the abbreviation. For example, if I see a red X on EGR, HCAT, or EVAP, what test should I run or what should I do? The stream of data provided a lot of information, but without further explanation I didn't know what to do with it.

Cons
  • Not working

Great tool. Best in Tools and Equipment

I use it to diagnose my Nissan Murano. He showed me the exact errors. I replaced a faulty sensor that I was having an issue with and my mechanic had an old one that he couldn't find it on. It also mentions my car's coolant thermostat fault and I was able to diagnose it myself before my mechanic checks it, saving me more money. Before purchasing, someone mentioned that this tool does not update successfully, but the update feature worked for me. You might want to hold down the button before…

Cons
  • Only available in white

Customer support is not helpful.

Cool scanner but terrible support. Mine won't connect to my laptop or get updates for it. I'm wondering if I can send it back. Sent an email and they sent me 2 emails neither of which helped. Like talking to someone in a country that doesn't speak English? Sent me a link to a download site that I've already tried to use. The files won't open without a program I can't find. Very disappointed as I love the Scannet myself. Not being able to connect to my computer pretty much negates the purchase…

  • Fits

An easy to use tool with great customer support.

This is my second review of the scanner. I originally gave the scanner 2 stars because I couldn't register the product. I also had problems updating. Ancel responded to my review the same day and provided me with the support I needed to complete both. Thanks for the timely reply and help. An additional note about the update is that I read the guide too quickly and tried to put the device into update mode with the wrong order. I have no hesitation in recommending this scanner. I was able to…
