Full bi-directional scan tool! Highly recommended

A good detailed diagnostics scan unit. I really appreciated when I started up the unit the battery was already charged. The Bluetooth diagnostics is the only way Iโ€™ll use a scan tool; was able to connect and walk away from my truck to diagnose. Great feature this scanner has is a โ€œhealth checkโ€; where it checks all the modules quickly to show you all the stored codes. Overall itโ€™s a nice little unit. Works quickly, solid construction; has all the features for self service. Itโ€™s my first ThinkCar purchase and Iโ€™m a fan.

Scan tool is the BOMB!

WoW! what a tool! My Honda did not like it when my cousin and I started playing around with the door locks. The first thing that happened, the car went into alarm lock mode and only the dealer could fix the issue, $200, and what ever else they wanted. Thank God! , a youtube video shows this device unlocking any safety triggered by the cars computer.
When the scanner came in it only took me 20 minutes to release the alarm lock and the car started right up!
Made extra smart keys and so much more !

Awesome Guy!
Bidirectional Tests and Wireless OBD Made BMW M3 Repairs Easy

Its bidirectional features are amazing and way better than i expected. I used it to diagnose, check, and fix several problems on a 2011 bmw m3, as it has dedicated functions built just for this car. The wireless obd connector is really handy too, letting me move the scanner anywhere around the car freely.

Surprising amount of features for the price!

The display is bright with vibrant colors. It works perfectly with fca vehicles right out of the box, so no extra authorization hassle needed. Itโ€™s also pretty fastโ€”system scans run much quicker than my old diagnostic tool, and the interface navigation is super user-friendly.

Good scanner for small repairs

Iโ€™m particularly impressed with the full-system diagnostic scan and the comprehensive report it produces post-scan. The data presentation is crisp and intuitive, and the toolโ€™s real-time data refresh rate is remarkably fast, ensuring efficient diagnostics.
