Works great. Connected to my 2000 Ford Mustang Saleen S281-SC 4.6l V2 with no problems whatsoever. The menu was really small with limited options. I do not know if that is because that's all that's there or if it is reading it correctly. I am going to assume the former. Either way I scanned the car and reset all the modules and then she started right up. Great product. Quick and easy. Codes were clear and easy to read.

I had a very basic OBD2 that provided some information but really did not provide much beyond the codes. This OBD2 is a fantastic upgrade from the one that was a simple code screen. The log is great to see the history and get better information. I had a P05B0 code that did not show up on the other sensor and given my reduced gas mileage lately I'm guessing there is a correlation that my dealer service has not seen. I'm not a car guy by any means but I do like to check on the status of the car's health before taking it in for service to get an idea if I'm getting pushed towards things that are not needed. The application was able to provide better detail to send me looking on the internet for what the codes mean and potential issues. The oscilloscope feature with the dashboard was also interesting to see the details of pressures and operating mode on the truck. Way more than I'll ever need but has me interested in learning more about what the diagnostics are telling me. Instructions were easy enough to follow and the download and driver install worked as expected. My laptop only has USB-C ports and the mini adapter did not allow the OBD2 to connect so I did have to use the heavier duty dongle I have to allow USB A connections. Not a big issue...

The scanner itself is not bad, but it has stopped multiple times on me. Then you have to restart the program and basically start over. As for options, it has all you want. More than I need. It will read error codes and any diagnostic setting you need. Very good construction, and the cord is long enough to reach your computer while sitting in the vehicle. I would have given a five star if it have the unwanted shut down

My experience with this OBD2 adapter was mixed. Initially, connecting the device to a 2020 Ford F-150 proved challenging. The physical fit was quite snug, and the software struggled to recognize the vehicle, despite following the provided user guide. I found the guide itself to be rather basic, and lacking in detailed troubleshooting steps. The overall usability was not intuitive, and without prior automotive diagnostic knowledge, I found it difficult to navigate.Following my initial difficulties, I attempted to use the device with a 2018 Ford Escape. My laptop eventually connected after cycling the ignition off and on a couple of times, but displayed a warning indicating limited functionality. Once connected, I observed the reporting screens, which did not reveal any immediate errors. The software offered a range of diagnostic tests but I opted to postpone those for a later time when the Check Engine light is on or there is some other problem.My experience, while ultimately successful, highlighted the potential for connectivity issues and the need for some degree of troubleshooting. The process required persistence and experimentation, and the initial warnings about limited functionality raised concerns about the device's capabilities.All said, I connected to the Escape and observed good information. I'm sure I could have taken actions if any were needed. With what I learned in the process, I expect success when I try the F-150 again. I'm sure I was part of the problem.

I installed the necessary software on my laptop and plugged this adapter into both my car and computer. It connected without any major issues, and I was able to access and read the diagnostic codes right away. The adapter works as expected, making it easy to check for potential problems without relying on a mechanic.The software offers a variety of features, but my main goal was simply to confirm that the adapter could read codes—and it did. Now, I have the ability to diagnose issues on my own before deciding on the next steps. If you’re looking for a simple, effective tool for checking vehicle diagnostics, this one gets the job done.
