Wow! Thank you for the awesome feedback! I've been posting a new episode every week, with plenty more to come!

Wow! Thank you, Jim. You made my day -Chris

looking at this tool on amazon I see a lot of people saying it does . I don't know personally . Im just looking in to this my self

I do not, however I'm sure you could email them or contact them through their website and they'll be able to answer your question

Any vehicle manufactured since 1996 will accept OBD2 scan tools. It won't hurt your ECU.

Yes, it does.

It's $120+ now.

@@vanteal Some are confusing MX, LX and MX+ models, though prices are also going up and up, thanks to Fed monetary policy protecting stock market value above all else. After all, legislators are all trading in the stock market.

@@tech29X Can't find it below $139 now (150+ after tax)...sigh, I want to buy one but that's a lot of money...bluedriver is $99 but it doesnt have as many features.

@@vanteal ....It's $130 now ( 5/4/2023).

It's $140 now (11/04/2023).

Great idea!

@@chris I think the extension cord was about $5.00 on Amazon.

I haven't noticed mine staying on, but I also don't leave mine plugged in all the time. I can't imagine it's much of a power leech though. It's small. If you have any concerns, try contacting them directly! Thanks for watching, Nick!

Your OBD connector has a B+ connection, and the OBD Link battery light confirms, if no power the OBD Link will not work.

I have an afm disabler and with my 06 grand prix gxp its stays on when plugged in but with my 09 g8 gt it doesn't because I cant use my cigarette lighter with the car of on my 09 with the car off but can with the 06

Dose the mx+ scan the hybrid cars also?

Should go off after 2hours unless any electronic triggers it like unlocking doors are such. But All in All it's Totally Safe to Keep plugged in vehicle.

Download the app on your android head unit as you did it on your phone. Mine works just fine.

Bit late for you but for anyone else, these are usually OK for resetting the check engine light and reading fault codes but the best thing for PSA cars (Peugeot, Citroën, DS) is a full chip Lexia scan tool clone and diagbox software. There's plenty of resources out there for it, they're not cheap and run on old windows. There's more expensive alternatives apparently but I've only used lexia. I also own a Obdlink LX which works fine with Citroën for rev, speed, maf, coolant readouts etc and clearing some faults. It doesn't see airbag and abs faults. My MX+ has just arrived so not sure if it sees more than the LX on PSA vehicles but it can definitely read more than the LX on Fords, GM and Mazda, especially when used with other software like Forscan

Yes it Now has Enhanced Diagnostics for all Chrysler Vehicles. 👍

I just tried it and it worked!

@@chris oh it's just because i clicked on #sponsored beside....you should separate it ;-)

@@S3XYcars Done ;)

That's the question of the day and still hasn't been answered

no

I'm fairly sure these are geared toward vehicles and not motorcycles

@@chris thank you for your information sir

Says it shuts off after couple mintues engine is off

No. Hybrid doesn't need a scan tool.

Does that mean that it's really good? And it comes with a zipper case now.

...yes, back when IGTV was "the up and coming" I recorded full screen, but vertically... for a few videos. Then I got the sense knocked back in me :)

I agree, but that situation wasn't available at the time of filming

You can literally just Google recalls for your vehicle though lol
