Used the FixD my parents bought for me on my 06 trailblazer. It told me the cam position sensor was to blame. I bought the new part, installed it , and it's working great. For sure worth $20.

Hello, I've been a Fixd user for 3 years now and I love it! About a week ago, my fixd sensor detected that my purge valve needed to be replaced. I took it in and had the repairs done, but I was informed that my computer would need to be reset/updated as a result of the repair. I noticed that my Fixd no longer communicated properly with my ford fusion since the repairs were done (it shows about 13 random fault codes with no check engine light) It passed state inspection just fine, but it bothers me that my obd no longer works with the on board computer updates. I took it back to my auto mechanic who stated that my computer was programed correctly. he also stated that one of his older obd scanner did not work on my fusion either since it was updated. He took me out and showed me that there were no fault codes using a newer obd scanner and I left satisfied that he wasn't covering up a problem. He recommended I purchase a newer obd scanner and he advised me not to plug in the fixd again since it's no longer compatible with the computer updates. Do you know if there is a way to update the fixd scanner instead? I really like this tool as it tells me exactly what wrong and about how much it would cost to fix. I really don't want to give it up, but it shows all sorts of false codes whenever I try to use it since the purge valve was replaced. Thank you for your time.

Have you reached out to FIXD? An OBD II scanner is an OBD II scanner. I’m not sure why he thinks that the FIXD will no longer read it. My guess is it’s either a software issue with the app, or possibly a component went bad on the dongle.

Hi. Thank you for your video as I have been considering buying this item. However, one of your commenters posted a link to the BBB and I thought I would take a look. Well, one of the responses from the company to a customer was that the device "can only read the check engine light." They said that they have indicated this on their website; so I will go there and read what they say. Anyway, the response was to a customer who used the device and saw repeatedly that there was no problem, but there actually were a few and it seems they may have escalated, but he said that the device gave NO indication and kept saying things are fine. But, he had no check engine light on. The thing is I know I need diagnosis of any issues regardless of the check engine light, especially in light of the costly repairs I have made recently, some of which may not have been necessary, as well as possible overcharge. I didn't have a check engine light on with these particular issues. I was hoping this would help me to assess real car issues and what they should cost.
@DiaryofaFamily
@DiaryofaFamily 5 жыл бұрын
One thing that I try to remind people of is. this works in tandem with your vehicle. It doesn't control it or give data input to the computer. So if someone is saying that it's the FIXD apps fault that they aren't getting a check engine light then it seems like their vehicle is to blame not necessarily the app. the FIXD system isn't a one stop, fix all program. There are most likely better systems out there and cheaper systems out there. What I do like about this company is they are actively trying to improve their product.

I like your presentation and your sincerity is refreshing. As someone who is always dealing with car issues for myself or to help friends and family, I'm buying some kind of code reader. But I wanted to ask you since this is the best review I've seen for this device, what makes this idea a better option than just any other cheap OBD II reader? I know a lot about cars but I'm not a professional mechanic. However, I have proven a few of them wrong as my videos have shown. But I just threw away $50 for a read from a guy very lacking in his professionalism as a mechanic! I should have bought my own reader! But I'm reluctant of this because I'm not very crazy about phone apts! lol But I did enjoy your video that gives me something to think about! In all honesty, I don't take every mechanic's word as gold. But I have found many of them are really trying to serve and not swindle! You'd make a good sponsor for this product! Keep it up! The public needs to be armed with good information!

Samuel if you’re car can detect an issue then this should be able to read the code. Any car built after 1996 will have this system built in. I’m sure that newer cars will be better at recognizing a problem and letting you know. We recently had to get a cylinder misfire. The check engine came on with a vengeance. If you have a issue that your vehicle doesn’t diagnose then just take it to a mechanic.

Everyone talks about how easy it makes it to show your mechanic what's wrong, but I want to talk to another car person who's used it, that can say if it clears codes, if it's accurate, how the app interface is and how it compares to standard OBD2 code readers
@DiaryofaFamily
@DiaryofaFamily 2 жыл бұрын
I’ve used it for almost 4 years now. I’ve been able to clear codes easily. I usually will make a note of the type of code and either screenshot it for future reference. Since it’s only as smart as your vehicle it can’t predict problems. But knowing what the code is for that check engine light will help you and the mechanic. This reads codes just like every other obd reader. Since that is standard across the industry. What I like is the ease of use. They have live gauges that are pretty accurate. They have other features in their optional premium services that would benefit those who travel a lot and also use it for business.

Ainsley Clarke it’s possible. OBD system talks to the engine and it says if there’s anything wrong. That may include other warnings. I’m mean if a high temp comes on you know it’s getting too hot, if a battery light comes on then it’s probably the battery or alternator.

I got a “service due” on dashboard of 2017 Audi Q5 2.0 TDI, can this tool erase it?
@DiaryofaFamily

Probably not. It’s not a OBD II code. That’s probably a service center reset. I’ve never been able to reset my change oil notification from the FIXD.
