Review: I purchased this unit to diagnose a persnickety Check Engine light on my mother's '99 Oldsmobile Intrigue. The device, with its bundled software, allowed me to retrieve and erase saved and intermittent codes stored in the computer. I was able to successfully install the software on a Windows 7 64-bit laptop with no issues whatsoever. I have been able to also make a few bucks on the side diagnosing friends' cars, and to get a real-time look into sensor readings of used cars I've been looking at for purchase. (You'd be surprised how many people will hide a faulty sensor or "impending doom" by resetting the car's ECM before a buyer comes to look at it. If all emissions systems aren't "Ready," that's a red flag for a computer that's had codes reset or the battery disconnected.) It's a useful tool for not only the most basic of backyard mechanics (save $$$ by scanning codes yourself), but provides enough information for those handy under the hood to diagnose and repair without the added expense of a professional-level scan tool. It doesn't give you everything, as I was unable to access the stored codes in the Body Control Module or Antilock/Traction Control System, but the possibility may exist with different software or paying to unlock that feature. Honestly, I've only used it on a few occasions, my two cars are OBD-1 and not compatible with the module. Another handy feature is the ability to record and log realtime sensor output. This is vital for diagnosing intermittent problems, such as a failing sensor, as well as checking out those 0-60 runs to find out if your new K&N air filter really makes you go that 0.1 second faster. :-) The first time you use it, it pays for itself. A basic OBD-2 code reader (with far less capabilities) retails for nearly twice the price. My tools might get scattered in the garage, but I *ALWAYS* know where my laptop is, and I keep the scanner in my laptop bag. Between the convenience of having a scan tool at home, saving myself a 20-minute drive to the nearest auto parts box store for a free scan, and how useful it's been so far, this really is a no-brainer purchase. Bottom line: you can't beat this deal. It's easy to use, the software gives you plenty of information, and there are other free and paid software packages that might be a great thing to add in the future. A dealer or shop will usually charge you a pretty hefty price to find out that Check Engine light is from a loose fuel cap, and in this day and age, who doesn't like saving money?
Review: Parfait fonctionne très bien.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long is that cable?**
A: The larger ODBII connector is about 4"The smaller connector is just a standard USB interconnectThe cable between the connectors is 55.5"61.75" end to endI bought one of the 15' USB extension cords and also a 5' ODBII extension cords

**Q: What is the different between scan tool 425801 and 423001 ? Can you ship to Saudi Arabia ?**
A: Sudqi,Yes we can ship to Saudi Arabia! There isn't a lot of difference in features between the 423001 (Elmscan 5 Compact) and the 425801 (Obdlink SX). The SX is a newer version and has a higher quality chip then the Elmscan. If you think you will be investing in vehicle-specific software to access additional codes later on, then I would recommend the SX. However, for just reading and clearing the basic codes OBDII standard listed at this link: http://www.scantool.net/obdwiz/#supported_pids , both tools will do this with the free software we provide.You should be aware before purchasing, that our scan tools, like most generic scan tools, only work with OBDII compliant vehicles. Each country has different requirements for manufacturers. In the US, any car or light truck from 1996 or newer was required to make them OBDII compliant. However, different countries have different requirements, some not many at all. The article on the following page can help determine compliance if you are unsure: https://www.scantool.net/support/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=2&nav=0,1 Best regards,Debra

**Q: Will it work on a Subaru Wrx 2004? Will I be able to delete codes from ECU so I can delete TVGs? Can you tune with this aswell?**
A: Hello Carlos,Our scan tools and software only read diagnostics from emissions data on vehicles that are OBDII complaint. You can clear codes. However, you cannot tune your vehicle.Best regards,AlonzoScanTool.net Team

**Q: what Can of cable Can I use to do tuning , sacan, read my gauges , edit and that has obd2 cable to usb**
A: You must FIRST chose the software that you want to use.
Then read the documentation of that software.
Wenn it says that ELM327 or Scantool adapters are supported, you can buy this one.
