FOXWELL NT301 OBD2 Scanner Live Data Professional Mechanic OBDII Diagnostic Code Reader Tool for Check Engine Light

I was surprised at how easy this was to use. The buttons are easy to push and the menu is easy to understand. It plugs in and out without a problem. It was so simple and fast that when it didn't show me a code I wondered if I was not using it right and did it several times!In addition to the codes this scanner also provides an explanation beside it. It was highly praised by professional sites in their 'best rated' articles on small scanners. They say it is easy to read, has easy instructions. They said this was the only model that also gave an explanation beside the code; I thought that all scanners would, but apparently not the case. So I confidently purchased this brand upon their recommendation...The car I wanted to check is a 2001 Corolla and I was hearing a whine, so I decided to get a scanner to check it out. Since I only know the basics when it comes cars, I thought it would be helpful to have one at home since my car is older. I was glad to see that the scanner found no code. Ultimately the whine was the carburetor and I had it repaired.From that time til now I haven't needed it, but I confess I've hooked it up a couple of times just for the fun of it. As a non-mechanic I think this scanner is perfect, and since the reviews were written with a mechanic in mind I expect a mechanic might like it as well.

I’ve looked at several code readers, and this one seemed to be the easiest one to use and to read.It works extremely well, and it has so many options. It will identify the problem, it will turn off the check engine light. It runs a diagnostics on itself to make sure everything is calibrated and it gives you a menu where you can select metric or US measurements, you can turn off and on the beep For the buttons it’s a lot that you get for all these $40I already have battery testers and multimeter so I did not get the one with the battery clips. I wanted something to be a little streamline and this worked perfect.

The product works fine. Cleared my code where a Bluetooth device would not. The only reason that I gave it 4 instead of 5 was it was advertised as including a case. Mine did not come with a case.

I watched several YouTube videos and reviewed the instruction booklet that came with the product. I then tried it out on my wife's car which she just bought. It is a used car, and I was afraid it would have lots of issues. The code scanner worked perfectly, and I saw that my wife's car didn't have any issues mechanically. I plan on buying a used car very soon and will use the scanner again. This has brought me some peace of mind.

Just want to read out codes and clear them, really. Does all kinds of things I will never use but works on a new Nissan Sentra where my years old scanner did not. And then this one can be updated the next time it gets outdated. Appreciate that it is big enough and easy to see and read. Read out a crank position sensor code, was glad it wasn't impossible to get to and replaced it myself - and can only imagine how much money I saved, but the scanner more than paid for itself in just one use.

Worked right out of the box. Simple plug and play, even read a code that was saved in the ecu. It's light weight and reads codes fast.2014 & 2016 hyundai veloster turbo2024 nissan sentra2018 kia Optima2001 Mazda mistakeWorked on all of them

Highly recommend for the price ! Honda wanted to charge me $500 to change a sensor that I changed in 10 mins and only spent 50 for the oem sensor. You need this to save money !!!

Updated review:I was not happy with this scanner needing an external power source, but within days of leaving my initial review (below) I was contacted by the company to see what they could do to make things better. I had only tested that the unit got power in my house, never on a car, but without even knowing that, they offered me the option to return it directly to them via a prepaid shipping label, and to process a full refund.THIS IS THE CUSTOMER SERVICE OF LEGENDS!!!I had missed the return window. 100% my fault. But that didn't matter to this company. Because I was so unhappy they were willing to take it back and give me a full refund. Amazing. I was completely shocked. And this is why, even though I wasn't happy with THIS ONE SPECIFIC PRODUCT... I'll buy from this company again, with complete confidence, because of how I was treated. These people are truly a cut above and deserve your consideration and hard-earned cash.Initial reviewIt has not battery and requires an external power source. On top of that, the connector is an outdated USB mini plug. While a cable of that type is supplied, this is a standard from 2000.... yes, 25 years ago!!!I haven't used it yet because I've been so busy I have not had the time... and now I am past the return window, so I guess someome will get a great deal at my next garage sale.It may have great features, but to not only require you to bring along ANOTHER cable to power it, but then to also use such an outdated connector... WOW. VERY disappointed.
