May want to check Amazon reviews. I’m too uneasy to order one.
And, they want to charge me $14.92 for shipping – seems pretty steep. I’ll pass.
Strange, their FAQ said it should only be $6.99 😛
$14.92 shipping
$1.34 taxes
———-
$16.26
Looks interesting, but … pass
Shipping is showing up as $15 for me also
I am looking for one that connects via Bluetooth instead of WiFi. The ones available from Amazon cost 2-3x as much. This one does not specify which, but comparably priced ones on Amazon use WiFi (which is a bother to use).
BTW, the one I have cost $13.99 via Prime.
Most recent Amazon reviews aren’t that good. It also appears that this product has been out for some time. I wonder if this pitch is to just recoup some money on old stock before a new model comes out.
Most people only need something like this when their CEL (check engine light) comes on. When that happens, go to your local auto parts store (AutoZone, Pep Boys, etc.) and almost all of them will scan your OBD port for free and with a much more expensive and sophisticated scan tool. Then write down the codes and Google it. About 99% of the time you’ll find out exactly what that code means as well as what’s needed to fix it. If you fix it yourself, though, these shops will not clear the code to make the CEL go out. If you have a state inspection, that could be a problem.
Once the problem is fixed the light should go out after a set number of drive cycles (a mixture of highway and local driving). If you clear the light you will take the OBD2 system monitors out of “readiness” as the statuses will be cleared along with the fault. Either way you’ll need to go through the drive cycles and as long as there are no issues the readiness monitors should all show “ready” after running their tests.
