Just came across this and ordered one with the premium subscription. Will give feedback on it when it gets here. For the $ it’s not badly priced and well spent money.
I just bought Autel AP200 Bluetooth OBD2 Scanner and it cost alot for every car brand you must pay, not once but every year!!!!! so im planning to go for FIXD.
Great video Chris! I've been having this device for over a year and if anyone wants to actually know if it is worth it, then I will tell you. This device has been with me for a long times and it helped me know what repairs I need before going to a mechanic or trying to fix it. It is an amazing product. I recommend you buy it. There was only one thing that I'm not sure if he got it from the premium or not but I never knew about the value check. I will check if it is for free and then come back and tell everyone. I definitely learned more stuff in this video though.
great video! I've had mine for a couple of years and it does the job!! Question........ does this also have "ids" capabilities?? I bought my vehicle from a private seller and it didn't have the user manual so I don't know the manufacture key code! Rather than get ripped off by the dealership; would this scanner help??? Thanks
i like the cell app lots of features looks like amazing obd2 scanner diagnostic i just got check engine light when i did spark plugs and wires i might need to get one
I just got three of these in the mail, a week ago I got a blue driver OBD2, and without opening these packages just after watching this video I think blue driver might be better, because it will read codes it will break down with that code is it will give you a link to Amazon for parts for that code it will tell you how much it is to fix, and that's just by itself no premium service to hook up to, it does that already tells you about Hyundai's which I got what's rare what to do and mechanics near you. So you got to pay to figure out what's wrong with your car how much it will cost and fix, I think just paying $104 versus $59, I would rather pay $100 for and have access to all the information you say you get with the premium which goes on for however long I don't know for $104 one time. Kind of thinking about returning these. My blue driver I'm happy with it has many other in-depth things that mechanics can use hooks up to Bluetooth the same way. I guess just asking for a response back from you I got these three at a bit of a deal, I would ask you when I go to plug this thing into my car if there are codes, or anything going wrong with the vehicle will the sensor tell you right then and there?. Or does it wait for something to go wrong, then advise you. Maybe give me the once over again or I'll watch the video what the purpose of the premium is I know I paid 1099 for a lifetime warranty I don't know what that includes, but if I'm going to give this out as a gift what kind of device do that would be useful to somebody by itself as soon as you plug it in?. Do you only find out how your car is or how it's running or what might be a problem a code if you pay for premium? Tell me what I can expect from just using the app by itself please thank you
I had a friend/customer purchase one of these. Her cellphone operating system was not compatible with downloading the FIXD hardware app. So, I bought it from her since my cellphone works with it. We used it on her 2010 Buick Lucerne and found no codes or problems. I used it on my wife's 2010 Kia Soul+ 2.0 ltr car when it was misfiring going down I-20. Codes P301 and P304 came up. 4 new spark plugs and thread seal fixed the misfiring on cylinder 1 and 4. I used the app to clear the check engine light. She took it for a test drive and told me it runs as smooth as butter!
I gotta say after 8 years in the Automotive Repair industry, these devices are really awesome. However, people tend to leave them plugged in all the time and have noticed some (not all) trigger some of the most random codes on vehicles.
Do you recommend removing it after each scan? And only plug it in for a scan when a light comes on? I wish there was one that could send a for sure notification if/when oil needs changed, is low, tire pressure, etc.
Will it tell you which cylinder is misfiring and details like that? Also can you reset the check engine light or do you still need to get a real scanner for that?
I bought the $9.99 version online but not see all the features you showed on yours? Is there a firmware issue or should and check and see what version is on my App???
I just got mine, but one problem. I haven't opened it for a week yet cause I got too busy. I noticed my bank account that I got charged automatically for a service charge of $100.00 from FIXD without my knowledge and I haven't opened the package yet. I had to call and cancel that. Altho I still kept it and I didn't sign up for no premium deal. So be aware of that.
Q : can you use it for family and Friends vehicles? Also has anyone came across this issue, where this device could not scan on an android smartphone. I had to use my iPhone since it wouldn’t scan on my wife’s smartphone Must be a Bluetooth connection problem idk but it did work located the failure #4 cylinder misfire, replaced it and we are back on the road :)
I wanted to see this things identify a problem, how it explains it to a non mechanic. It does it just say some code that means nothing to bin mechanic people like me.
Is there a way to view live data from the o2 sensors? Such as values being presented to the ecm. I have a check engine light on in my 2000 ford ranger. Oreillys auto parts says code is p1131 lean on bank 1 I installed brand new y pipe as mine was broke in half on bank 1. But I had no code with the broken pipe) But I have a code after new pipe instillation. Which is strange. And I want to see if my o2 is burned out on that side.
It's a Ford Ranger, those engineers that designed it were trolling owners with diagnostics and warning lights. Just pull the fuse for dash indicators or put a piece of tape over the light. It'll still run like new after a million miles and the body and frame is just a corroded pile of rust held together with duct tape, zip ties, and a prayer if you live in the northeast rust belt. Every older B2000/Ranger I have experienced has been reliable and tough, absolutely legendary for reliability and build quality.
Can you reset your Oil Light or do the Car Battery replacement or clear codes? Nice to know what's wrong but those other things are important? Can you get real time engine data?
. *I purchased one not knowing they want you to create an account; I don't want to create an account, and as it's Bluetooth, why should one have to, unless they are tracking my data.* *I'll just stick with my wired one and keep my privacy.*
Does it have a reset engine light function and if so, can the person trying to sale me their car hide that they reset it and that the problem still exist?
if I bought on of these for a family member, I would want to know what the basic version, ie., without the monthly subscription does. After all who want to give someone a gift and then say "Oh, by the way, you will need to pay X amount each and every month"?
My live data screen is nothing like that mine is just a circle with a couple O's on the outside and a green line that moves around and that's it why is that
Thanks for the overview. I have a question, you mentioned that once you’ve setup Fixd it will continue to monitor your vehicle and let me know scheduled maintenance and any problem my SUV may have. How is that done? Are you saying that Fixd can monitor my vehicle even if it’s not plugged in? Just asking because my husband recently purchased one for me and I have a check engine light and a few other warning lights on. I’m taking it back to the dealership in the morning. Anything you can tell me would be deeply appreciated.
As you refer to checking a used car on the lot, can this open up and get the true mileage from the computer to combat rollback? I am buying a car this week and already ran into a carfax with inconsistency
I just bought this is this completely free or do I have to pay a monthly subscription if so im sending it back as soon as I get it and getting my money back?
I have a Honda Accord SE 2000 I get good gas mileage..have no problems Engine light is on did not pass emissions Light has been on since I received vehicle August 2020 or 2021 .not certain of date Car was a gift from a friend This light has been on failed emissions because it is on ..bit no visible problems No noise..runs very well ..smooth My son, sent me a text, with Fixd.. He purchased it for me..I pray for a miracle to have my vehicle to know and gix problem...to know where thr problems are and cost..and repair And go through emissions....so I may register my car I pray to our Lord So grateful God used my Son to send this tool to me. God bless those who invented it God Bless You All
Hello I live in Australia & need to know if the vehicle's port for the FIXD is the same. There is a port to the lower right under the steering wheel as we have the steering wheel on the right side of the car which is small & I'm guessing this is the port you are talking about. I would like to get one for my 2008 Toyota Aurion sedan if it is the same. Eve
Do dealerships scam you by programming a code to show up on the dash but nothing is wrong with it? I replaced a engine battery last year. But a year to the date later the car first said brake system problem. After taking it to the local mechanic and they checked it all of a sudden it says hybrid battery system problem.
I'll have to do a comparison review some day! But many similarities and differences. I talk about what sets FIXD apart in my video. Thanks for watching!
*Toyota owner: this is the last thing I need.* *Dodge owner: do I get a discount📉 if I order 50 units 📦📦📦...* *BMW owner: so by signing this form, I have officially purchased the entire manufacturer of FIXD?*
can this unit/app store data from sensors due driving and then export as offline data for observation? I now fighting with feel, that some sensors in different load and rpms sends shitty values, but datalogger is kinda expensive option o.O
How do you reset live data metrics choice in the app. is it basic or premium to access the part of the app where you show the numerous live metrics to choose from.
Hi, thanks for the video very informative I live in Italy and drive a Suzuki Swift 2019 would you recommend this product for my car? Thanks PS: Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹
With Fixd Premium - when looking up the vehicle history, can you see if work has been done to the car - i.e cambelt changes, part replacements, new tyres etc
Will this tool cause any codes or warnings to come up on the screens in the car? Many newer cars( such as my 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio) have several computers and sensors that do a lot of monitoring, adjusting and recalibrating, not to mention at times requiring periodic software updates, even removing the battery will cause codes and warnings to come up that need to be reset. I’m interested in this extra diagnostic tool, but I’m curious to know if it has caused any issues with newer cars.
Does this tool show electrical error codes such as trailer running lights, blinkers, etc... If you have a power programmer do you have to go back to stock, then insert this device to get proper codes? Thanks.
It would report any codes that the vehicle reports. You don't have to return your programmer back to stock as that doesn't affect the codes. I have a programmer on my truck and it didn't cause any issues.
I have great memories of going through all the tools in Sears as well. Then they sold out to China... thankfully Stanley Black & Decker is fixing that and while the vibe still isn't the same at Lowe's (because it's not all just Craftsman and it's not in some weird department store), it's good to have.
I just love how this device is making mechanics job even less profitable them charging a lot of money to scan your car goes into the pay check but yet the job is needed and pepole ripping you off they are bad pepole, but 99% are not money stealers. they just like working on cars and want to support themselves. Oh yeah love we make devices to save money on cars but yet some buy the new iPhone each year. . .
