I brought this for my Peugeot 407 as I was getting an intermittent fault on it. I have to say this is a brilliant tool and it can do so much for such a small price. It was nice and easy to set up on my computer with the easy to follow instructions supplied in the box. The product is very well made and looks like it would work well for quite some time. I would recommend this product to any one who knows a bit about cars and wants to fix there car them selves. – from Customer | March 21, 2022

This absurd… I went to website to check if it can read my ABS codes to my car and it shows it does but it don’t it shows no fault and just keeps loading forever with no explanation. Manual was all in German but I got it set up and running but not showing the code. Im so pist off it’s my 3rd Obd2 scanner that claims to read it for my car but it does not. I even selected diffrent year model to try out and always the same result. Website says it’s subscription based software — what??? why.? What a rip off scammy unfinished product…. – from Qmorth | March 21, 2022
