Review: Pretty much does - Having had so many problems getting an OBD2-USB cable talking between my laptop and car, I opted to go for this item and pretty glad I did Plugged it into the OBD2 socket (under the ashtray in the centre) on my 2003 Vauxhall Signum 2.2 Auto (pretty much a Vectra). The scanner lit up straight away and found the correct protocol before identifying one fault P0302 - a quick read of the included PDF file and hard copy of the user manual booklet identified a misfire on cylinder 2 (which seems pretty consistent with a problem I've been having (now will get my hands dirty and investigate more) The unit lets you reset the code, so I'll see if it comes up again. It also correctly read and identified the VIN and advises that the engine warning light was 'off' and that various scanning functions are running. Next test was on my 2002 MG ZT 160 - OBD2 socket is just to the right of the steering column, about knee-height. Again, plugged in, found the correct protocol and gave a 'no faults' response Final test was on my Wife's 1999 Vauxhall Tigra 1.6. The OBD socket is in the fuse panel to the right of the steering column (about knee-level again) This time, plugged in, but couldn't find the correct protocol, so couldn't read the codes. I'm guessing that because this is an older vehicle, the protocol isn't supported All in all, I'd say this was a pretty good item - it does the job and supplies the info you need in a pretty simple way. I guess you could ask for bells and whistles (eg an auto lookup of the fault code on the unit itself) but you get what you pay for. I wanted to pay as little as possible to identify any fault codes and that's exactly what I got - its not exactly a hardship to go and look it up in the PDF or booklet or key in the fault code to the little app thats included on a mini-CD. Buy it...if your car is after 2002, you probably won't be disappointed
Review: Maxiscan Diagnostic Scanner ms300 obd2 - Excellent scanner does exactly what it promises to do on the packaging reads and also removes Dtc's (diagnostic trouble codes) this scanner is powered by the vehicle battery when you plug it into the diagnostics port so no need to worry about running out of power, sadly the diagnostics in my Rover 200 are outdated and it just reads an error linking message, but nevermind it will be handy for any future cars that i get which are obd2 compliant you get an instruction book with different error codes and the meaning of them and also a cd that does the same, buy one of these if you just want a good simple easy to use scanner and don't get ripped off by garages and main dealers they may make it sound complicated but there's nothing to it plug in to diagnostics port, turn ignition on, scan and then review any error codes that pop up excellent tool so pleased about the price, no more pricey diagnostics charges for me because i can now do the same as the mechanic does!.
