Customer Review
- Reviewed in Canada on May 20, 2016I purchased this scanner earlier this month (bluetooth version) and have had a great time reading engine codes and accessing everything the ECU seemed to know on my household's 4 vehicles. I paired it with the Torque Lite app (very good app for being free) on my Samsung Galaxy S5. The first time I plugged it in it took a minute to show up in the list of available devices, but once it did it was easy to identify (named "OBDII") and it paired with my phone instantly with the password "1234".
The device is impressively small and sturdy and fit snugly (but without trouble) on all 4 of the OBDII ports I tried. One of the ports was recessed, but I followed advice I read on here to make a pull tab out of duct tape and would recommend all buyers do the same. It just gives you some piece of mind and makes it that much easier to find and yank out without looking.
I don't know if the refresh rate for the information is specific to the device or to the ECU or the app you use, but in my case it was definitely quick enough. Also I know that this scanner can slowly drain your battery, but I forgot it plugged into my car that was parked for a few days (with a half drained battery due to the alternator failing) and had no problems starting it up so the drain is not overly significant. If you drive your car at least every other day, I couldn't imagine leaving it plugged in full time would give you any problems.
I am simply amazed by the usefulness of this device for individuals that have a vehicle, whether they are mechanically inclined or not. The mechanic by my house charges $70 CAD to scan codes, so this device paid for itself within minutes of receiving it. Paired with a free app, it offers a multitude of information that wouldn't be shown by a more expensive LCD scanner. More people should be made aware that these scanners are available, and I'll surely be doing my part by showing all of my friends that care to listen.
Thank you Veepeak for a great product!
