Innova1000 OBD2 Scanner Bluetooth for iPhone & Android Compatible with America’s Top Car Repair App - No Subscription Fee - OBDII Scan Tool and Code Reader to Diagnose Check Engine, ABS, SRS

I've been using an Innova 3211 OBD reader for many years now. However just about a month ago it began erroring every time I tried to read the data on my daughters cars, a 2003 Toyota Camry, and a 2004 Mercury Marquis. Error reading data. So i could no longer clear the check engine light, which in Illinois means, that you arent going to pass the emissions test and you have are gonna spend lots of money to fix whatever is causing the check engine light. Anyway, my one daughter had purchased this new Innova unit but had not used it yet. I gave it a try and was very happy to see I was able to read all the data successfully and clear the check engine light on both vehicles. Not sure why the 3211 is no longer working correctly, but it was worth the money back then for the 3211 and it is certainly worth the money for this new version. I highly recommend and have been a loyal Innova customer for decades.

I am not a mechanic and only want to have a scanner to tell my mechanic an error code if I'm far away and can't bring the car in. I used to have a scanner that I bought many years ago and for a very small price. This scanner did not identify my ABS/Traction Control problem. I did some research and here is what I found:Very basic scanners only determine engine error codes, which are standard for all cars.More advanced scanners (and this is one of them) are capable to give error codes specific to makes/models, such as my ABS problem.Still more advanced scanners can show real time data, which is used in troubleshooting. This model has limited capability in this regard.Still more advanced models can control the car, for example tell the car to open a window, unlock the car, etc.Money-wise, some scanners after one year require you to buy a yearly subscription. This one does not. Some scanners only support 1 car and require you to pay for second, third car, etc. This one does not. Some scanners are large. This one is tiny.Price-wise, scanners start at about $20 and go to about $50,000. If you are looking for diagnostics-only, non-real-time model, small size scanner that supports most error codes from most brands, this one is very good. In the sub $100 price range I found only one other device with similar specks.If you are looking for a similar device with a little more or a little less functionality and price, check out the comparison table on the manufacturer's website. Also look at the YouTube Video that compares the scanners that this company makes. All the other scanners from this manufacturer are going to be larger and non-Bluetooth. Some will have more functionality, some less. Some of this functionality you may need, some you may not.Finally, if you have this device and want to buy a used car, the owner may have cleared the error codes. Drive it for 20 minutes and plug this device. Most error codes will reappear and now you know what problems this car has.

The product works great. I own two of the units. I keep the plugged into my vehicles all the time. They can give me real-time information. I am extremely satisfied with both devices and much less expensive than the handheld devices.

Useful scanner tool although likely better for DiY/owner applications than for pros.Helpful to be able to leave the BlueTooth (BT) interface (wireless) plug in the OBD2 port so that the iPhone app can be started with little difficulty when a problem pops up. The BT pairing process is slow and is not always successful, but the app is stable if sometimes slow in operation once the link is established.Unfortunately, each app restart requires that the user re-enter the vehicle VIN for proper operation. Apparently, the phone app does not store this info. This VIN-reentry is really inconvenient if you are starting up the app quickly to capture a transient problem.Overall, the $100 cost (or less w/discounts) is a reasonable investment for the occasional user.

Easy setup, works great, easy to use, a very informative tool. Works fast, diagnosis entire vehicle, connected quickly , worth the price to get the answer to the codes and also projects the cost of parts to repair the vehicle.

Slow to acquire data and results. Not as intuitive as I was expecting.

I had a check engine light on my 2023 Promaster. It was easily reset and was a faulty seal on the gas cap. I also used it to reset the maintenance due light in my 2015 Lexus. It connected quickly and will be in my glove box from here on out. Very handy tool!

Had some problems but great customer service. The first one I got looks like it had been open and used, but they replaced it immediately at no charge and that one works great.
