TOPDON Carpal-US OBD2 Code Reader Bluetooth, All System OBD2 Scanner for iOS & Android, Vehicle Health Check, 6 Maintenance Services, Smog Check, Repair Guide, 1 Year Free Update

I'm writing this review to let other future customers know about this product because like me I was a bit skeptical about purchasing it. First I would like to make a comment about the software for the device. I appreciate how well the software is laid out and extremely easy to use especially for someone who has not used a Bluetooth scan tool before. So for beginners using this product there is no need to question how to use the program and tool. The way the app is set up you are able to find and do everything easily because of how simple and straightforward the controls are. On to the next subject. With this tool you have the capability of selecting 3 vehicles at a time to record your data for personal records. What I love about it, is that the app gives you a status of your vehicle depending on various codes that it comes up with for your vehicle. If you have more than three vehicles you are able to delete one or two or all of them and add more. But currently it keeps data for the three most current vehicles that you do a status check on. Using the app it has some very nice features. What I really enjoyed was the performance test. It will show you data like 0-60 times and what your horsepower is at. That's alot of fun. I found that the battery test function is very useful when it comes to checking the quality of your battery, they did a very good job at giving you an accurate reading of your battery status. Using the HUD function was pretty interesting as I have used it for the first time with my vehicle. The program runs very nicely and pretty cool to use. Connecting to the Bluetooth receiver after opening up the app was a no brainer and I had zero issues with using the device and app. The speed of the app moved pretty quickly but I'm sure that's phone dependent, but on my end I was never frustrated at the times that it took to scan the vehicle. The app has a live data option for various computers in the vehicle. On that subject I will say some parameters I was not able to see, but that could be dependent on vehicle. The bottom line is that if you want a very good scan tool that you're able use easily and have some fun functions along the way I'd highly suggest this product.

Good code reader on the spot tells you everything can even do live data good if you’re into cars or a mechanic!

I went and test drove 3 cars at a Car Hop and plugged this thing in each one. The first vehicle I drove rode nice, breaks were good, everything seemed to run smoothly. Then I plugged this thing in and found 7 SEVERE alerts!! The other cars had multiple alerts as well. Let's just say thank goodness I had this or I just might have purchased a pile of junk!

I really like this item. It came in handy for me during a drastic situation with my car. My car’s throttle needed replacing and I needed a tool for the relearning process. I previously purchased the Gearwrench tool but it did not work so I exchanged it for this one and it connected nicely with my car and was able to diagnose it and I was able to use the special throttle function with no issues! The only thing I don’t like is that this tool isnt a one time purchase. After a year you must pay a subscription to keep using all the functions the device has. And if you add another vehicle to the tool’s system, it will cost you again. Other than that, I like the device and I use it often to check on my car’s health!
