Does the job, but a pain to set up
I Did not recieve the item in the pictures but rather a smaller unit without any displays/buttons etc on it, its a smooth plastic unit that looks to be half the size and plugs in and lights up. I Used the QR code on the box which directed me a site that told me which software to download (Torque Pro, i used Torque Pro Lite).Its a pain to get set up as there are no instructions and i had to follow instructions on the amazon reviews. Bluetooth did not work at all for me and i had to use the wifi option. Plug into the car (under the dash for me), connect to the unit on your android phone via the wifi options. Then go into torque pro app and make sure you have the option set to wifi rather than Bluetooth. Connect via the app. Turn the car on and let it set up. Then you can pull codes and whatnot. Simple enough.

Works - but limited features and software compatibility
Using an Android device, it pairs OK with the code "1234" however it does not connect if you try to connect it from the Android settings. This means that any software that requires you to do this will not work - e.g. "OBDLink""Torque (Lite)" and "OBD Auto Doctor" do work; they automatically connect to the device. "Torque" automatically connected, for "OBD Auto Doctor" I needed to adjust its settings, selecting "connect automatically when starting" and restarted it.Not tested yet on PC nor IOS[edit] I also tried a much more expensive OBDLink MX 426101, which combined with the OBDLink app, allowed me to access Ford diagnostics that this device did not. So I returned this item.

WiFi not Bluetooth.
At first I thought I might have a defective unit or car as I couldn't get it to pair over bluetooth. Tried in another car to make sure it wasn't my port and accidentally opened WiFi settings instead of Bluetooth and there it was.Connected and working fine now, used torque app to clear fault code and now marvelling at having mpg display on a car that previously couldn't display it.Have seen other reviews that say theirs doesn't work, it may be the same issue, would recommend trying WiFi if you can't get Bluetooth to work.

Could save you loads
Really good little product that could save you loads. Had an error code on my van and was quoted about 30 quid to have the codes read. So I thought I'd have a look myself.10 minutes setting up, reading the codes and looking online for the issue and problem found. Faulty sensor which was an easy fix for me.Only gripe, and it is specific for my van, is that you cant leave it plugged into the OBD reader of a MK7 transit. it sticks out too far for the cover to be replaced under the steering wheel.I downloaded 2 of the apps suggested and kept the one that worked best for me so you do have a good choice there as well.

Plug and play.
I never leave reviews but with how simple and easy this scan tool was to use I have to share with other people looking to invest in a cheap scan tool. I suddenly had an engine management light appear on my MK6 Fiesta and with the lock down I have been unable to get to a garage. This product was ordered and once arrived I plugged it straight in. Set-up was unexpectedly easy with the right application. Within seconds I was greeted with my error messages and after a quick Google search I found this issue. Part was purchased and fitted and the error message was removed. No more error messages. Overall, over the moon with this little product. If you're in the market, don't hesitate and just buy.

Does what it says on the tin.
Only tested for an hour, but seems to be working fine. The only thing which is disappointing about this is the app. You will find some parts in the app don't work unless you update or buy addons. Otherwise great product, would of gave 5 stars, but the extra purchase for the addons takes that away.

Good for DIYer
3 stars as it is very much a DIY product, did the job, I needed to reset an air bag light that I'd unplugged and tripped the light on. Bought Torque, can't be reset with this reader. Other than that it's OK for basic use
