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.

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

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

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