Great DIY scan tool especially for those who are new to working on cars. Been using it for a few weeks now and the user interface is great and very easy to navigate through, which especially makes it very easy for a novis to find functions, unlike some high tech tool where you need to know what your doing. Talking about functions, the “MIL Status” function is great. It shows you how many miles back fault codes have been cleared. This could be especially useful while purchasing a used car, as if the codes have been recently cleared it could mean that the seller is hiding something.In addition, the live data and graphing features work well. It allows up to 4 Data pids to be graphed at a time and the Data pids load and update without delay/lag too, fairly responsive. Built quality is good too.Now I do have far more advanced scan tools compared to this as I regularly diagnose vehicles as a side hustle so I do have considerable experience with various diagnostic tools. That being said, this tool does not do anything advanced, such as resets, manufacturer specific data logs etc, it only reads generic OBD 2 data. However, you don’t expect any thing at this price range to do any more than generic OBD 2 either. So that’s ok.Pros- Decent build quality- Ability to read freeze frame- Good graphing ability- Decent speed- Good user friendly interface.Cons- Only reads Generic obd 2 data.- No special functions. (Not expected in this price range anyways)- Battery test only shows voltage. (Can perform the same with a multimeter)To ConcludeOverall this is an excellent starter diy scan tool. This tool does all the basic stuff you need and it does it well.

Ive been using this code reader for a week or so, ive found it be quick and easy to use able to read and clear code, its really handy for clearing codes triggered after inlet cleaning where the engine is running with hoses and sensors removed or disconnected.The tool also has basic live data information, engine rpm, coolant temp, long and short fuel trims oxygen sensor values, throttle position etc although basic info its essential for diagnosing vacuum leaks and faulty engine components.Its worth mentioning this tool does not have bidirectional control or advance module and component coding VDIAGTOOL has more advanced tools in its range capable of these tasks also the information available to the tool depends car being scanned.If you’re looking for a budget tool for clearing codes and reading basic live data this would be a good choice and is great value.

First diagnostic meter I’ve had. Not an expert handling these tools but I found it simple to use. Clear instruction manual. Very well made.Bought to identify and delete an O2 EML which it did immediately. Recommended.

I bought this to switch off a couple of redundant messages that kept appearing on my dashboard screen such as service certificate expired, and other such things. I do my own servicing and repairs, where I can. It did indicate that there were no fault codes on my car but I couldn’t find an option to switch off the messages. Which is why I bought it. I have since returned it. Good piece of kit otherwise.

Excellent diagnostic tool, couldn’t have arrived at a better time, simple to use and easy to understand diagnosing my fault straight away, usual nightmare of adblue systems this pointed me straight to a dodgy dpf injector after researching the fault codes. Fault codes cleared, new part and a dpf clean and hopefully a fixed car.Unit now lives in my gloves box

Exactly as I expected – Can read & clear fault codes (if the fault fixed -even if only temporarily / bodged!).But a decent Garage will have a better version that can do far more including reprograming. A Main Dealer version will be able to do everything.But nonetheless a useful bit of kit (I run several older vehicles as Taxis – so warning lights coming on for real or imaginary! reasons not uncommon).And it’s idiot proof to start & use (tested by me!).

Dissapointing range but easy to used.

Quality seems good. Good value for money. Removed engine check light.The biggest problem was with delivery,The driver threw two packages over my 6 foot high gates, the gates were unlocked we were at home, my daughter was walking up my drive at the time and observed this disgusting delivery. Fortunately the items were not damaged. The delivery photo showed the products before they were launched, and not anywhere near my safe location. After this the item stopped working, possibly due to it being damaged by delivery, not obvious at first use.

Should save you money and aggravation with check engine light
Have you ever had a check engine light come on your car and not know what it was all about. But this does it allows you to check your engine light and find out what caused like to come on this will save you money. So that you know what to talk with your Mechanic about that caused the light to come on in the first place. It also lets you re-reset the check engine light and turn it off.

Great Scanner for the money
I was able to use this scanner to clear codes on a Chevy Cruz turbo. I noticed it said make sure key is on. This car has a start button and key fob reckonizing features. It didn’t work until I finally started the car? It did turn on thou with button ON. It said key on engine off? Maybe it’s pilot error. IDK. I was able to find codes and clear them fairly easily and run diagnostics on real time running conditions to see if anything was not working. Thou the IM showed all components passed and the codes cleared were turbo, O2 sensor, throttle position, map, maf and misfire on bank 1. The car was in for repairs the week before so maybe they weren’t cleared and were old codes? For the price and the small size of this unit. I’m happy so far but noticed it didn’t give any warnings about needs service immediately as some of the more expensive units do. The unit works and other than the direction to turn key on engine off? It performs well and is a convenient little tool to have in car or your toolbox. Update: It seems that the push button (ON) is not the position that would put you on the ECM (DTC’s stored) circuit side but the accessories ( Radio ) side of the ignition as keyed cars have used for many years. IDK. Also I noticed the VD 30 earlier model had extra troubleshooting suggestions to help with finding the problem that this upgraded unit doesn’t seem to have anymore? ie. Check for loose, dirty or corroded connectors on wiring harness. etc. Also the rubber overmold has been eliminated too which was nice on the VD30. I hope in the future those features will comeback. The offset seems to be 98k DTC’s instead of 10k the VD30 read.
