Scantool is well worth buying. Put a smile or two on my face. Easy to use and cost effective. I had everything setup and reading real-time data within 15 minutes of opening the package.

Honda and a nissan. Will do far more than just read the trouble codes and turn engine light off. I rather enjoy being able to do it in my driveway, especially if it's running rough. I highly recommend this to everyone that likes doing their own car re...  Read More

Cable is a decent length, and does it's job. Have not had any slow, lag, or disconnects with this cable. Leave it plugged in to the obd port 24/7.

Quality


Connection was seamless and overall was satisfied with the product


This product works as well or better than expected


It is not worth it and you get all the same futures with the android app


This product works but if your looking to actually be able to read the ecu delete codes or reset systems

Price


Price is a little steep for what it is but does feel like a quality product so worth it to me


And for 40 dollars thats a good price


So if you want a scan tool that does everything it will cost you a lot of

Packaging/appearance


I have a canam spyder that i was listening on the canbus to implement some courtesy lighting and other functions


Then i ran into the registrationrequired message which needed an internet connection

Competitiveness


Data are not complete as a snapon scan too but for the price can’t go wrong here


The obdlink sx adapter arrived in a simple package with a 5step instruction sheet


Yes i know you can always drop by your local bigbox auto store for a free scan

    I did not want to invest in another diagnostic tool or expensive upgrade

    Had an early failure with my unit and the team were quick to communicate and set it right immediately


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I didn’t rate tech support because i didnt need them… the cord plugged in perfectly and communication between the osb2 and my software was flawless

    Setting up scantool was as easy as 123

    In all think it took me 15mins to do the software download connection instruction creating a hotspot on my phone for my laptop to hold onto


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This is a good unit but it does not support both canc and canihs buses


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This can be a problem if you are trying to access modules that are available only on the canihs bus


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I suspected the spyder was obdii compliant so ordered the obdlink sx for a win10home laptop we use solely for scta roadster and dyno room data logging
