Revainrating 5 out of 5

Extensive vehicle coverage, comprehensive diagnostics with real-time graphical data and ease of use

the kind of diagnostics I wanted and the services you can do other than just reset the code and turn off the engine light. I have a few cars that I've been wanting to use this on, but I really wanted one that can do forced diesel regeneration on my 2012 Ford F250 because I don't drive it in the way it needs to clean the DPF. I get the typical warnings and threats about reduced performance and speed and eventually just idling, so I like to be able to force this from time to time. I also wanted the unit to cover my other 2006-2016 vehicles and after speaking to pre-sales support it did the job. I also wanted to be able to monitor live data while driving and perform forced regenerations such as: B. Monitoring of 4 EGT sensors and regeneration status. I haven't regenerated like I did recently, but this device tells you the filter status in real time and you can record it while driving. Another thing I wanted an OBDII scanner for was to reset the check engine light on my old car to pass an MOT. A nice feature is that after resetting the codes you can monitor the module's readiness for verification so that all monitoring systems go through their proper cycles so that their status is set to "OK" and you pass the verification. The trick is to drive far enough to be ready so the engine doesn't catch fire and test it right away before it starts again. Usually about 26-30 miles hard driving on hills and highways, then check the status which is real-time data and go to the inspection station. To me, the cost of a monitor is cheaper than repairing a catalytic or evaporative system. Also, it's very nice to have a Bluetooth interface. There are no cables to twist or get in the way. Connects automatically and easily. Upgrades are free for a year and after that it's an estimated $125/year, but if you don't have to it's fine as long as you don't buy the latest model car, but I'd try it first before upgrading and paying the cost . I am sure you can contact them and get a discount.
