    The key word is 'OBDII Scan tool' that is all you will get is OBD II codes very minimal info

    Yes, but I noticed a Ferrari in their promo video. Also, a 4.5 star rating with 5700 + reviews should say something other than just a scan tool.

    for 70 bucks it is an OBD II code reader and probably a good one but it is not a full function scan tool the Autel I use needs an update - just the software update is $800 dont expect too much out of a code reader, it could be very handy to know the codes but it has it's limits. There are no self tests available and no live data probably. If it is just a code reader for OBD II then it will read ANY OBD II vehicle including Ferrari and every other vehicle on the road because OBDII is federally mandated emissions diagnostics.

    Actually, even the $10 bluetooth OBDII code readers off Ebay will do live data (even graphing O2 sensor data in most cases), as well as read Pcodes. They are obviously not nearly as useful as the Autel or the various Chinese clones, but are very helpful to have. I keep one in each car, so I can immediately tell if a CE light is of immediate concern or not.

    For reference. I bought the unit listed on eBay. My initial observations.
    My expertise. Hard parts no problem. Majors etc. Software, dumber than a box of rocks!
    Appears easy to use.
    Reviewed the data stream for my F1 gearbox. 2001 360 with later TCU. ECU still 2001 version(May send to Trev to update to later software).
    Data comparison to a year ago readings on an SD2/SDX by Tech.
    Recognized my TCU as 211023. Software version correct.
    Some values odd. Example: Clutch Pressure Plate Travel. SD2 7.53mm. Launch 0.56"?
    Most other values read the same or close. Example: PIS SD2 4.4mm. Launch 4.47mm
    There is a difference in test conditions. Tech tested with SD2/SDX while car running(1061rpm shown)
    Tested with 360 off, ignition on. Immobilizer clear.
    Unit shows Special Settings.
    Reset PIS with several steps to input the changed data. I am hesitant to change any values unless I know I can reverse.
    Would like to hear from others with a bit more experience and knowledge.
