This unit has been a god send for diagnosing my multiple vehicles. It has been a valuable tool in saving me money on repairs as I do not need to go to a garage to have simple diagnostics done. The only complaint so far is getting help from the manufacturer as the supplied cd does not work with Apple computers and I cannot get a reply from Actron themselves. Beside that it was a very good investment.

I’ve done quite a bit of work from complete engine rebuilds, transmissions, rear axle assemblies, and the dreaded tinkering with the electronics. These parts are usually safely out of sight until something won’t work and you happily can not find the sensor or the coupler its supposed to be linked to. Tilting an engine to locate and O2 sensor is not a great way to spend a day. There is no way around this stuff as its here and when something does not work it is just plain time consuming. I use this thing and I did buy the OBDI cable for it too. I have the opportunity to be challenged by some older GM stuff. To the point. I’ve used this thing, I’ve dropped this thing, and I’ve gotten some good answers from this thing.I like this unit and am glad I bought it. If you intend to use more than once in a great while for some mystery that lights up your indicator by all means buy one. For those that tinker under the hood you already know changing one thing causes a change in lots more and this unit will help you track down the ripple effect of problems.

It is easy to use, up and running in less than two minutes. Will not fix your car for you but will give you a code and you would go online to do research on the code to fix it yourself. You may have to go to the dealer to get the car fixed but at least when you walk in that door, you have the correct knowledge of it.

Just have the correct expectation for this product… you’re not buying a mechanic.

I got this when it was a Gold Box deal in May 2008. Got it for a GREAT price well under $eventy doll@rs.
At that price this was a steal. I use it to turn of check engine lights after I do an oil change on my 2007 Kia Sedona EX. Used it to diagnose my fathers 1995 Ford Ranger pickup. And diagnosed a bad vacum in my 2000 Subaru.
This device will pay for itself in about a year when you consider a trip to a mechanic in NYC costs $5 - $10 to turn an idiot light off.

Great tool for any level of user. I am not a mechanic. I am actually a computer programmer. Can do basic things like oil changes, tune ups, ect and this is easy to use.

I read some have asked if its C.A.N. compliant and answer is yes BUT only if its the new firmware. Mine was luckily. If yours is not there is an upgrade, but it costs money. Go to actrons website to see what the firmware is for the C.A.N. compliancy

My son has a shop and I sometimes help him out so I wanted a small quick scanner for myself. This has proven to be a pretty good scanner so far. I have used it several times and then used our OTC scanner and it only failed once to pick up a code.
