KITBEST KITBEST

My car registration is due soon and it has to pass the smog test before I can have the privileged of paying car registration to drive my car for another year in California. Problem: my check engine light was on which is an automatic fail on the smog test. Solution: Kitbest engine scanner & my android phone. I bought this one because it was the least expensive one on Amazon and had the best warranty. The Kitbest Scanner was extremely easy to use & you can't even plug it in the wrong way. They give you a QR code to scan so that you can install one of the apps that it works with. All you have to do from there is pair it with the Bluetooth on your phone and touch the Diagnostic button and in a few seconds it tells you what the code means. A quick trip to the auto parts store to purchase a new gas cap, in my case, and the guy at the auto parts store said I might have to drive it for a while for the car's computer to recognize the new gas cap but it worked by the time I got home from running errands and it let me reset the check engine light. I tried it with all three free apps that they mentioned in the tiniest instruction manual you've ever seen. The Bluetooth on the scanner linked up quickly with all three apps and I discovered there are a lot of things that you can see about your engine, transmission, cooling system, fuel consumption, etc. You can look at more gauges than you ever knew existed, improve your mileage, use it as a trip computer, see a color coded map of your trip that shows your speed in various legs of the trip, it will even tell you your altitude and how much of an angle you're driving on to prevent rolling over while off-roading. So all-in-all it solved my problem with the check engine light and it's a great little gadget that provides fun exploring all the things it can do and even with the paid app I think I'm still way ahead of what it would have cost to take the car to the mechanic and I'm having fun playing with it. If all you want to do is find out why the Check Engine light came on, do the repair and reset the light yourself you can do that with this device and one of the free apps.

This is one awesome little piece of equipment! I am not all that vehicle savvy, I can change my oil, do my brakes, and rotate my tires, but that is about it. I have always been irritated when I see the idiot light come on and wonder not only what it means, but if I have to get it to the shop asap. In these days of computer managed cars, we have less and less logical hunches to go on. I recently bought a new truck and after only 1200 miles the check engine light came on. With steam coming off my head I ordered this with 2 day shipping. Fortunately I did not have to take the vehicle on the road before the scanner arrived. When it arrived, I had already downloaded several apps on my android and was ready to give it a shot, even though I was sure that the information would be miles over my head. I was wrong, between the apps and this little wonder I found that it was a temporary warning due to a single misfire on cylinder 5. I consulted a mechanic friend and he says that happens with new cars and goes away. Then he asked me how I figured out that symptom. I told him and he said "Pretty cool, most people panic and bring it in to the shop" I drove it to work the next day and sure enough the light went out.I plugged the scanner in again and it showed that the alert had indeed been reset. Since then I have learned all kind of interesting things about my truck. Immediate MPG as opposed to measurements over time and distance. I can tell how my drive train is distributing the load across the wheels as the conditions change, I can see how my braking system works under different conditions, even how my transmission shifts under different types of driving. When I showed this to several friends who are "Mechanic Minded" they were impressed with what it does for the cost and ease of understanding. all were impressed by the accuracy of the diagnostics This is pretty freaking COOL! I like anything that makes it easier to understand things I am not so well versed in, and this device does it in spades. Actually let me say this device and the corresponding App do it in spades. When choosing apps, start with the free ones and see what kind of feedback you prefer. when you find the one or ones you like, there is almost always a pro version available for a small amount of money, but some of the free ones will do the trick without purchase. It depends on the level you want to take it to. In terms of ease of use: It only fits on one way, there is nothing to worry about with putting it on wrong. If you can pair your phone or tablet to any bluetooth device, you can set this up If you have children or a spouse that thinks a vehicle runs on moonbeams and happy thoughts then freaks out when a light comes on, they can plug this in and understand the output. Final thought, with what this does, and for what it costs, this is peace of mind at a pittance. These will be turning up as little gifts for family and friends this holiday season, If I could give it 10 stars I would

I've only used this a few times w/ Galaxy J7 using Torque Pro app...the pairing code was "1234"...works fine. Sometimes these will be cheap and dont work, but it gets job done...pairs quicker than last one of these I owned. Used it to measure four 02 sensors (banks 1/2, upstream/downstream) and laid em out on graph PIDs that were easy to set up. Its important to be using a decent phone and app w/ these...I paid $5 for Torque Pro edition (not Lite) 5 years ago, and its followed me thru several phones. If you use a cheap free app that's overloaded w/ ads instead of features or if your phone sucks...OR if you're just not proficient w/ an OBD2 scan tool...then dont bother with this. If you only seek to clear/read codes or check emissions monitors, this will do that but you could probably find a $20 junk scanner somewhere that'll also do it. This is good for auto techs/mechanics to keep as a side tool. I use a Snap On Modis at my shop, but keep this in my car to monitor my specific vehicle profiles,and to diagnose cars outside of work. I get a good PID list of live data w/ this setup....freeze frame,manufacturer's codes, pending codes...no SRS/ABS...its also cool I can send fault logs via email. Yesterday I used it to share a fault log for a Jeep w/ 4 DTCs, freeze frame, and a snapshot of some relative PIDs it had to my service writer while I was 2 miles away test driving it My only complaint so far is the size...its very small/short...so it's harder to place into or remove from DLC...I imagine it's also easier to forget, and have customer drive off with the tool. Some of these are longer, easier to grab, and have USB inputs so you can wire direct to laptop if you want, but the bluetooth functionality is really all I need. I dont do any reprogramming or anything like that, so I dont need a tool more advanced than this since I also have access to a several thousand $ snapon scanner. I dont recommend this to people who dont know what they are doing...I dont recommend these people do ANYTHING to cars unless they're accepting of how possible it is to mess something up. I had a customer come in the other day who had a $90-120 model of a dongle like this w/ more capabilities...he had pulled some EVAP/engine codes, and had "diagnosed" it himself (incorrectly) and wanted me to fix something that wasnt the issue. Things like this annoy me. He had also adjusted his valve clearances because he saw this mentioned as something to do in service intervals, and I wound up replacing his camshaft and his motor will never be the same because of damage. Stuff like this annoys me.

I was hesitant to purchase this item, having been burned by a similar OBDII reader a few years ago. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this product works perfectly, pairs to my phone with no issues, and is actually detected and 100% fully supported by Torque Pro. I initially had some difficulty getting the reader to pair with my phone. If you encounter this, pair the device while your vehicle's ignition is ON (or in the "accessory" position), but NOT STARTED. This fixed the problem right away, and the product works perfectly now. Different car makes/models may work differently; I have a 2019 Ford Fiesta. You're jealous. Anyway, this reader works 100% for codes and live data. Once I learned the trick for getting it paired (which I might have known if I hadn't thrown away the instructions), I had no problems at all. Highly recommended. FYI: some OBDII readers like this come with a generic MAC address, like 11:22:33:44... This works fine if you have only ONE reader. If you plan on using multiple readers in multiple vehicles, your phone would confuse those readers. THIS reader has a real, unique MAC address, so multiple readers could be used simultaneously. If you didn't understand any of that, don't worry about it--just know that this is the "good" version among similar OBDII readers that are out there.

I recently purchased this OBD scanner to use with the Torque Pro app on my Android phone. I am very happy with the scanner and the app, and I would highly recommend them to any car owner. The scanner is very easy to use. Simply connect it to your car's OBD2 port and open the Torque Pro app. The app will automatically scan your car's computer and display a variety of information, including engine RPM, fuel consumption, and current emissions. I needed it to troubleshoot misfiring on some cylinders. The Torque Pro app also allows you to view and clear diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). This can be helpful if your car is experiencing any problems. I have been using the OBD scanner and Torque Pro app for a few weeks now, and I have been very impressed with them. They are both very reliable and easy to use. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants to learn more about their car or troubleshoot any problems that they may be having. Pros: Easy to use Reliable Wide range of features Compatible with most cars Cons: Label fell off after being in the heat, but no damage to device. Overall: I highly recommend this OBD scanner (and Torque Pro app) to any car owner. They are both very reliable and easy to use, and they offer a wide range of features. I hope this helps!

I bought this in an attempt to diagnose/clear my SRS airbag light that came on in my 2014 Toyota Sienna with a wheelchair conversion kit. I know that these SRS matters can get very expensive very fast if taken to a dealership for troubleshooting. Moreover, since my vehicle features a BraunAbility wheelchair conversion, the Toyota dealership will blame Braunability and that gets old fast. I was unable to view SRS codes using any of the apps recommended by the seller. These apps may work well for most makes and models but Toyota/Lexus is a little different and I was unable to use the standard apps to view these codes. However, I found a free app called ToyoSys Free that would show me the Toyota SRS codes and clear them. Based on info gathered from this code that I found on the internet, I was able to narrow down the fault to the weight sensor for the passenger seat. (The vehicle relies on a passenger seat weight sensor to know whether or not to turn on the airbag.) It turns out, there was just a loose connection in the in the quick disconnect wiring harness. (The seats in these wheelchair vans have quick disconnect wire harnesses so they can be quickly removed for wheelchair users.) While I initially had trouble getting this product to do what I wanted it to, such troubles were not caused by the reader but by the lack of compatibility of most apps on the Android market with Toyotas. The reader itself works great. All in all, this OBD2 scanner saved me hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars to have this professionally fixed. Once I had the correct app for my Toyota, diagnosis and repair only took about 5 minutes. (Your experience will vary based on your situation.)

hjkl Claims it's faster than other OBD2 bluetooth devices, but it isn't. They say, "KITBEST OBD2 Scanner supports SAE J1850 PWM (41.6 Kbaud) SAE J1850 VPW (10.4 Kbaud) ISO 9141-2 (5 baud init, 10.4 Kbaud) ISO14230-4 KWP (5 baud init, 10.4 Kbaud) ISO14230-4 KWP (fast init, 10.4 Kbaud) ISO15765-4 CAN (11bit ID, 500 Kbaud) ISO15765-4 CAN (29bit ID, 500 Kbaud) ISO15765-4 CAN (11bit ID, 250 Kbaud) ISO15765-4 CAN (29bit ID, 250 Kbaud) " "We see many choices when it comes to OBDII Readers, why should I go with KITBEST Products over others?" "Faster read speeds than other units on the market" But regardless of what protocol I choose, it gives Torque gives up trying, does a search and ALWAYS connects at the slowest speed, ISO 9141-2 (5 baud init, 10.4 Kbaud). Always, regardless of what I try to make it connect at. I've tried the top 3 fastest and the next 3 slowest and it doesn't connect to any of them. Always kicks back and does a search and connects at ISO 9141-2 (5 baud init, 10.4 Kbaud). At least it works, which my last Bluetooth device stopped doing after about 6-12 months.

2 Year update, I had not noticed that I had WiFi protect on my device. The OBD reader works perfectly. I highly recommend getting this if you work on your car. I also use this reader after I take the car to a shop to ensure they did the work and truly fixed the code not just cleared the ECU. I do stand by getting the Pro-OBD app it really is a better version and more stable. This device stated that it would work for iOS and Android. After looking up support information to get the OBD 2 scanner to connect to my Samsung Galaxy S7. I have tried to read the forms and try each fix; even uninstalling APP’s that gave the Torque Pro problems. I also purchased the pro version of the app thinking that it would help. As in the forms to try other cars as well. The device connects then disconnects, and when opening the APP, changing the settings to Wi-Fi as directed in all the forms and manuals. Still, this device will not work with an Android device. I then tried with my iPad and it does connect only with IOS. I purchased this because it stated that it would work for both mobile operating systems. I will keep this at 2 Stars as it does work with iOS (works better when buying the pro-OBD car doctor app). It did state that it works with both iOS and Android it only works with iOS.

Mit der richtigen App ist der Adapter prima zum überprüfen der Fehlerlampe und die Verbindung ist einfach/stabil.

Best device every car owner should have it

It does not connect to my Android phone, and the App does not read any data. Complete waste of time and money

Recently purchased a Android head unit as I wanted to run obd app Torque after the other devices not being compatible this one worked straight away with the Android unit. Also is smaller than most other units. Great price as well.

It finally gave up on me but I've used it constantly for 4 years on multiple cars. Well worth the money.
