OBDLink SX 425801 ScanTool USB: Professional OBD-II Scan Tool for Windows, Red

I purchased this unit to diagnose a persnickety Check Engine light on my mother's '99 Oldsmobile Intrigue. The device, with its bundled software, allowed me to retrieve and erase saved and intermittent codes stored in the computer. I was able to successfully install the software on a Windows 7 64-bit laptop with no issues whatsoever. I have been able to also make a few bucks on the side diagnosing friends' cars, and to get a real-time look into sensor readings of used cars I've been looking at for purchase. (You'd be surprised how many people will hide a faulty sensor or "impending doom" by resetting the car's ECM before a buyer comes to look at it. If all emissions systems aren't "Ready," that's a red flag for a computer that's had codes reset or the battery disconnected.) It's a useful tool for not only the most basic of backyard mechanics (save $$$ by scanning codes yourself), but provides enough information for those handy under the hood to diagnose and repair without the added expense of a professional-level scan tool. It doesn't give you everything, as I was unable to access the stored codes in the Body Control Module or Antilock/Traction Control System, but the possibility may exist with different software or paying to unlock that feature. Honestly, I've only used it on a few occasions, my two cars are OBD-1 and not compatible with the module. Another handy feature is the ability to record and log realtime sensor output. This is vital for diagnosing intermittent problems, such as a failing sensor, as well as checking out those 0-60 runs to find out if your new K&N air filter really makes you go that 0.1 second faster. :-) The first time you use it, it pays for itself. A basic OBD-2 code reader (with far less capabilities) retails for nearly twice the price. My tools might get scattered in the garage, but I *ALWAYS* know where my laptop is, and I keep the scanner in my laptop bag. Between the convenience of having a scan tool at home, saving myself a 20-minute drive to the nearest auto parts box store for a free scan, and how useful it's been so far, this really is a no-brainer purchase. Bottom line: you can't beat this deal. It's easy to use, the software gives you plenty of information, and there are other free and paid software packages that might be a great thing to add in the future. A dealer or shop will usually charge you a pretty hefty price to find out that Check Engine light is from a loose fuel cap, and in this day and age, who doesn't like saving money?

Parfait fonctionne très bien.

Witam OBDLink SX ScanTool USB bardzo dobry kabel działa z Renilink sprawdzony .

Buongiorno, ho comprato questo ennesimo adattatore per leggere/scrivere dati nella ecu della mia Dacia Sandero stepway 2021 ma purtroppo non mi permette di farlo. Questo a causa di un getway di protezione messo dal gruppo renault a protezione dei dati (in pratica hanno criptato la centralina). Esiste un modo del tutto legale per sbloccare la centralina: 1) compri la key Renault 2) ti danno un codice per bloccare la centralina 3) colleghi la key usb e lo strumento obd al Pc e fai tutto quello che vuoi....... Il problema è che l'adattatore deve essere in grado di lavorare in PASSTHRU e questo non riesce a farlo, come specificato dal servizio clienti ufficiale (del quale allego la conversazione). Detto questo, per tutte le vecchie renault e company (credo fino al 2019) funziona regolarmente con ddt4all. Io ho testato sulla mia punto con multiecuscan e funziona regolarmente. Purtroppo, avendo già un adattatore per la punto pagato a meno di un sesto di questo, mi vedo costretto a restituire l'oggetto.

Nice unit. My car is Honda city 2008. I didnt face any connectivity issue from phone. But the device when connected to PC failed in installing driver when connected. So i wasnt able to run from PC. I had used a Micro Usb adapter to connect to phone via Usb port of the device and by installing the app on my android phone. There is a lag of nearly one second when reading the live data. Overall the device is good and doesnt have any other issues.
