The so called discount is short lived. I would also recommend not getting glass coverage that pays for chip repair. That is reported as a “claim” and a claim is a claim.

Those OBDLink bluetooth adapers are quality. The mx+ being the latest and greatest. LX is good too (no ios support or some features). They have no conflicts when auto detecting the can bus and switching the American MS and SW. And can do bi-directional. They are great for gathering data for days at a time. The cheaper modules conflict and start screwing with the network. Mainly putting 13 volts where it shouldn't be. Who knows whats in those snapshot things and why they are even allowed after so many complaints.

My last truck had 16 quarts of fluid in the transmission but if you only drop the pan only 6 quarts comes out and the other 10 quarts of dirty fluid stays in the cooler/converter ect, so i get them flushed to get all 16 quarts of old fluid out no way im leaving all that dirty old fluid inside.

[@maylin1986]

I've seen similar comments at least twice while reading the comment section. It's why I've never owned one. In a world where nobody else drives correctly or safely, there's way too many variables that go into play once you leave your place. Someone mentioned earlier about having to slam on their breaks due to stupid reasons and I understand completely. I could be driving 30mph in a 35mph zone and still, you get those people, more times than not, that will stop out of nowhere to turn without a turn signal. The insurance devices help insurances companies. Not you. I miss when insurance companies actually gave customers genuine discounts for no car accidents and other things. I had to dump Progressive years ago when all the discounts I had still wasn't enough to get the car insurance to go down. Was a Progressive member for a few good years, too. Found out a local car insurance agency could knock off $20/mo. Since I moved out of a country region, my insurance went from $50-something/mo to now $60-something/mo. Your insurance increases if you move from a country area, into a city area. I need to shop around again because after so many years, insurance companies just keep adding onto your insurance bill.

I disagree with you scotty on this one. I have a HUD plugged into my hyundai that tells me data that my car doesnt, like oil temp, coolant temp, and all sorts of information while it also can check for codes if check engine light comes on. This little HUD has saved me a lot of money because it tells me everything a driver needs to know. Bad battery, i can tell with voltage, bad spark plug yep, MAP sensor yep, everything and I put a splitter on it and tucked it in behind the dash so i have 1 extra OBD port available to use for my diagnostic scanner if needed. But the HUD tells me everything I need to know, you can even buy these cheap gadgets on TEMU for 60 bucks and it doesn't affect your car at all.

5:02 - O... M... G... I was getting the error where the computer shut down acceleration. First mechanic said it was the throttle body. Charged $950 (parts + labor + update computer systems). The fix didn't work. Got a refund. They said take it to the dealer. The dealer said no, it's the mass air flow sensor. AND the air filter, which was apparently filthy. They were going to charge $595 to replace the MAFS ($325 for the part, which they had to back-order, + $270 labor), and $55 for the air filter. I said that's a total ripoff for the MAFS (and I should have said the same for the filter - lesson learned). Autozone carries them in stock for $63, and I got them to drop their labor cost down to the diagnosis fee, since I would have had to pay that anyway. Now you're telling me the MAFS might not have been problematic at all? Fine. Next time I'm checking / replacing the air filter first.

SCOTTY~!!! Right on the head!!! I got one of those things on my new subarucrosstrek. I used it, and I had to have it reset by my dealership if I wasnt in warranty I would have to pay for it. Liberty Mutual offered this to lower the insurance by up to 30% I told them it screwed up my electronics and they apologized and said we'll give you 10%. Wish i would've seen this video to start!

Vote Scotty - 2024🤘😎🇺🇸 I recently got my first truck and it's a 2003 Tundra V8. Videos like this are blowing my head apart on becoming educated with cars, just how much I got suckered by the dealership, and what I need to do to rehab this sucker! lol And I love that you included motorcycles in this one!!!! Thanks for all that you do ❤

[@tonys1641]

Hey Scottie! I have a device that illuminates my truck from going into V8 mode on my Chevy Silverado. 2013. I hope that's ok!

Hey Scotty Where should I go to to replace my Tyres on a 2018 Kawasaki Voyager 1700 ABS. They are on since new with 9000 miles Should i go to a dealer.? Larry

My automatic deploy running boards on my truck have worked for 2+ years plugged into the OBD port

[@lonestarusa732]

Hi Scott. I’m about to shop for a new next base IQ dash cam and it has OBD2 plug-in in order for it to work in parking mode. This dash camera is very expensive. Should I plug it in my OBD2? Thanks Scott.

[@krey603]

I used the GEICO app on my phone instead of the dongle because of what you recommended Scotty.

[@vehicfix]

Personally, had a customer with a Honda CRV that had their progressive plugged in when you unplug it the car did not start unless you plugged in the progressive OBD two connector😂 this was a few years ago now but still

[@thogevoll]

Scotty that OBD2 dongle you had in your hand and said not to buy one of these cheap $19 dongles eas actually a $200 XTool dongle. They're supposed to be pretty good. Why don't you do a decent review of the XTool A30M and their application. The A30M is supposed to be roughly equivalent to their dedicated XTool D7 plug in tablet tool but you use your own tablet or your phone like BlueDriver does.

[@jasonsmith387]

I wish I had known this many years ago! I too got caught up with that constant monitoring and had Torque Pro and one of those bluetooth OBD2 scanners. Yeah. Never again! Anyone I hear who has one, I tell them to remove it ASAP! That thing fried my ECM and it cost me $1,300 for a new one with programming. Thank you for spreading the word!

5:49 I can't get into my air filter compartment. The mechanic at the Honda dealership tightened the screws so tight that I stripped the screws when trying to do it myself and the only way I can get the filter changed is taking it to a mechanic. I moved in 2019, and AAA recommended a mechanic right up the street from me. They just charged me $1700 to replace the alternator and fuel pump (the gas gauge has since been screwed up and the CD player doesn't work). I asked them to replace the air filter but I see it nowhere on my bill. They also told me I had an oil leak...which had one previously that they repaired (They didn't check for other leaks?). In a previous repair, they told me I needed new brakes, which had just been repaired. They told me that my previous mechanic used cheap parts. This car is a 2005 Honda Civic with 120,000 miles on it. They're charging me for more than what the car is worth! I reported them to AAA because their estimates always go above the high end of estimates, and they always seem to find "something else" wrong with the car. AAA did nothing. Useless.

[@lyceum4177]

Scotty, I doubt you'll ever see this, but who is doing your camera work on all your vids, and all that amazing editing?

[@johncomeau2480]

Hilarious, My OS just dropped a dongle advertisement during my viewing. Yay Scotty!!!
