Great simple device. Item arrived with instruction manual (which included a listing of codes and descriptions) in a resealable ziplock-like plastic bag. It did have the look of having been used before. That didn't matter because it was in good shape and worked exactly as promised. Follow the very simple directions and you should have your diagnostics in minutes. After getting the code and description from the device (and manual) I simply googled my car make/model/year with the code. this further described the potential issue, symptoms I may be seeing and possible corrective actions. My code told me that there was an issue with the MAF (?). I am not a car guy and this meant nothing to me. But after googling I understood the potential issue. Before taking it to the repair place I did the simple DIY suggestions found the internet and corrected the problem by simply changing the air filter. Spent $18-ish on this device and another $10 for an air filter and my problem was fixed. Taking it in for car repair would have cost an extra $100 minimum.

I think this product was defective in that it did not read, "C.A N. OBD 2" in the display as it says in the User Manual step 3. It read Kobra. The E Tech with Kobra Products responded quickly and provided a quick guide instructions which I tried. The device then went through the protocols and went into, " Link Error " mode. I tried it on two vehicles and got the same results. I appreciate the E Techs prompt responses and willingness to offer and give me a full refund as I was not able to get the device to operate properly. Thanks again KOBRA Products E Tech.

This scanner does exactly what I expect it to do. I'm able to read codes on my 2005 GMC to see exactly what is throwing the alert on my pickup and then fix it. There are nicer ones available with better displays and all that, but I like simple and I get all the functionality I need from this thing for a really cheap price. I'd recommend this to anyone needing to fill those roles.

Works great. My 2010 Silverado tripped a code on the engine. This little device told me I had an air leak, likely from my gas cap. Sure enough, I replaced the gas cap, reset the error code and that took care of it. At this price, every backyard mechanic, or anyone with a car should have one or know who has one. At this price point, it's a great bargain. One last thing, it does not just give you a code like some do, it tells you what the code means in English. Nice!

I am a mechanic and I can honestly say this is a great device. The plastic is a little cheap feeling and It will take some getting used too but other then that it’s a good product for the price. A guy I work with bought an obd2 for a 100$ And without a doubt this obd2 is by far a better product. This little device is a great cheap product that gets you in the ball park of what is wrong with the vehicle you’re working on. If you’re car is a newer one it’s probably got issues with emission leaks(that for the most part aren’t bad) but the engine light come on takes away from some thing that could be serious so this is a good device to erase the emission leak code also.

Very easy to use, just plug and follow the instructions in the manual. I found that some codes cannot be cleared with this device though. It is still worth getting, if you are like me and would like to see why your check engine light is on before bringing your car to the shop. Sometimes the issue can be resolved by looking up the scanned code online and making a quick fix.

My son used it. It gave us the information we needed to tell us it was something he could not fix without more knowledge. When we took it to the shop we knew what to expect. They gave my son the further knowledge to be able to fix it himself . Fortunately I have one of the honest shops available.

Wish I had bought this sooner! Works great and easy to use on my 2001 and 2002 vehicles. Based on auto parts store scans due to check engine light, I thought I had to do expensive repairs to pass emissions. I simply cleared the codes with this scanner and the codes never came back and car passed emissions. This scanner also identified a legit code on another car so I could replace the part and eliminate the check engine light. Instruction manual explains it all. Identifies codes, clears codes, and shows when car is ready to pass emissions inspection.

I purchased this for my husband as a stocking stuffer. I purchased the red one. We have relatively older vehicles that are just getting to the point of needing a little extra maintenance every so often. This will be an excellent tool in diagnosing some of those little errors that sometimes pop up without the hassle and extra money of having to go to the dealer or a repair shop. I asked a mechanic friend who verified the product for quality. All in all I am very pleased with the product and look forward to my husband being able to use it for our vehicles.

Works well, simple and clear instructions
