What The Capabilities Of This Obd Device? by billy187(op): 5:39pm On Nov 27, 2015
Hey there!

I was searching for a capable OBD reader to buy (scans are pretty darn expensive this side of the world-for me! grin) and I came across this device (pic below) for only a naira equivalent of 7800. It looks too cheap to be true- basically cheaper than some scan jobs around here!

I would like to ask, especially to those that happen to own one...what are its capabilities? limits? Does it detect engine issues? abs problems? airbags? Does it take real time info? I hope it ain't a fancy thing to reset the check engine light!

Thanks in advance!

Basic obd2 device. Good for personal use (I own one). It will detect basic engine and transmission problems, but then that's it. It won't read abs or SRS and can't be used for in depth scan. Also u need an android phone to use it. But it works well as it also reads live data.
