FOXWELL Car Scanner NT604 Elite OBD2 Scanner ABS SRS Transmission, Check Engine Code Reader for Cars and Trucks, Diagnostic Scan Tool with SRS Airbag, Automotive Diagnostic Tool with Live Data

My best purchased OBD2 reader yet
I’ve had a few obd2 readers but this one is the best I’ve owned thus far, the value you get for your money is unbeatable the design is easy to use for any one who has ever used a obd2 reader before. The speed is impeccable and very impressive it does have WiFi but I have not used it via WiFi as of yet . It seems pretty durable but I have only used it once as of this review. The whole purpose for me upgrading was to read my transmission temperature as I have a sealed transmission on my 2016 Hyundai sonata and I needed to do a drain and fill so until my next issue I am giving 5 stars for now . Definitely recommend for DIY people like my self.So wanted to update since I have finally needed to use it as my CEL has came on randomly and this is the codes it pulled in real time . Works perfectly and accurately saves me $100 for a diagnoses fee 😁 I have already bought the part needed as the motor for the actuator went bad .

This works fine, once I got it working…
The short version: It has no batteries so it must be plugged in to use. Not a problem unless you want to wander around with it. For the price, I’m fine without batteries or Bluetooth. Updates happen via you PC USB port with an included Micro SD card reader over the internet.The processor is rather slow, as others have mentioned, but for the price, I’m fine with it.The UI is rudimentary but fairly easy to understand and supports multiple languages.TLDR: I have only just started using the Foxwell OBDII scanner today, 2 days after I received it. Out of the box, it wasn’t working properly. The screen displayed correctly when I first plugged it in, but after browsing a few functions, all of the Icons and type disappeared. A few of the functions displayed very faint messages and I was disappointed. I unplugged and tried again. The same thing happened.Time to give support a test. I went to my order and clicked “Get product support” I tried the self help options, but they were pretty lame and of no use (at least for this product). Next I chose “Call me” and my phone instantly rang and a support person answered almost immediately. She asked for my name and knew what I was calling about. I described the problem and she had me unplug the unit and hold down the OK button for 15 seconds. I plugged it back in and my problem was solved! BINGO!Registering the unit is a quick trip to http://www.foxwelltech.us/register.html and updating the software and vehicle data is done at http://www.foxwelltech.us/support-tools.html where you can download the Windows Desktop Application and install/update it.I will have to update my review after I try using some of the features on my various cars, I have a ’23 Bolt EUV, a ’22 Toyota Prius, and a ’16 Subaru Impreza. I’ll give them a shot and add more details later.BOTTOM LINE: So far, so good. Longevity/reliability has yet to be tested.

Easy to use!
Awesome! Told me exactly what was going on with my car and save me money on a diagnostic check.

Excellent Value Scanner
This is a very easy to use and nice quality scanner. It auto detects VIN and has WiFi so easy to upgrade firmware.I used it to diagnose a bad O2 sensor on one car and throttle body in another. And that was a VW which many say usually requires something made only for VAG. It didn’t detect the ABS problem on the VW but did on my Ford.It also worked well with my Honda noting a cylinder 2 misfire. I recommend this scanner to the DIYers for OBD engine issues.

I had a small and very cheap scan tool that just read check engine codes and had the ability to do some very basic live data logging. However I had my mother’s 2013 Buick Enclave display a few error messages but no actual check engine light was on so the scan tool I had was basically useless. The messages my mom’s car displayed for reference were AWD off, ABS light sensor, TC off, service Stabilitrac. I did some searching online and most ppl said it was most likely a wheel speed sensor issue…but I had to verify that somehow and this is where this tool came in clutch. For the price you honestly cannot beat this tool for all the options you with it. First off, it read my mom’s VIN info instantly and automatically without having to update the software of this unit. Second, I was able to verify and identify the problem which indeed was a faulty wheel speed sensor using live data logging of all four wheels…it was actually really cool seeing live data like that. The menus in this scan tool are very simple to understand and the overall UX is great. The buttons are big and super clicky. The display is big and bright and easy to read. I ended up playing around with it just trying to figure out all the cool settings it had and the endless amount of data it could retrieve. This is an absolute must have scan tool for anyone who works on cars…even if you only work on your own car. You end up saving so much time and money using this tool as opposed to going to mechanic. Highly recommend this scanner….it is really a great bargain and pretty much gives you all the options you’ll ever need.

Attention avant l’achat !La valise manque de nombreuses options, notamment le menu “Maintenance” qui n’existe plus, même après une mise à jour. Pourtant, avant l’achat, j’avais consulté le site web de Foxwell où il était clairement indiqué que le menu “Maintenance” était disponible pour ce modèle.
