If you read codes and just replace the affected part you aren't diagnosing a problem, you are throwing parts at the problem. Sometimes this works. A professional can throw those parts you request be replaced, but you will be money ahead if you pay for a diagnosis or even have any auto parts store read the codes and save you the purchase price of FIXD. Its a nice theory.

She did an awsome job. That was very well explained.

Sandra S. " I downloaded app and plugged the gaget to my vehicle and " voila " it worked. That was freaking easy for being an old lady !"

Do you leave the sensor plugged in or remove it after use?

What everyone is also not saying here is, FIXD wants an additional $60 bucks to register their product after purchase. Why no one here has bothered to mention this is beyond me. FIXD also did not diagnose the issue with our, CRV. Our VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist) light was on however, FIXD did not register this as an issue. It only sent me off to another section on their site to tell me what the light if we are buying this product, we know full well what the lights is. We either needed to know why the light was on, or to turn the damn light off. It did neither. So $120+ bucks for nothing.

In my truck I already know the ABS brake system is not functioning correctly (there is an indicator light for it), but when i scan for it with fixd it in not picking it up. Scan says everything is fine.

I just received my device and was wanting to know if I leave it plugged in all the time or just when I want to scan?

[vernoncrown]

Do you have to subscribe to a software program to make the FIXD work?

[greentea]

I just received my device and I wasn't able to register my fixed device for some reason. The only prompting I got in an app was to provide my email and passcode doing registration. Then I was prompt to continue and then it took me directly to the inside the app. I don't know what's going on. All the steps that I saw that you went through was skipped on mines for some odd reason. I see nowhere in my app where it prompt me through all the steps that you showed on this video. This is very frustrating!

I've been a tech for 35 years, I hold a California emissions inspector license. This item is nothing more than the courtesy scan just about any parts house will give you for free in the hopes you will be buying parts hat are usually nonreturnable. /The end result is you will go to a tech with your own diagnosis which will most likely be wrong and you will want the tech to change the parts this system made a guess at. When that does not fix the car you have bought a part or pats that you are stuck with as well as labor you asked for that won't be refunded.

You will still be paying a tech to make a proper diagnosis because IF I'm wrong I have to fix it for free, see if they will give you that same guarantee.

had to open a BBB report to get refund - daughter care was fixed before the FIXD came in the mail -- I opened the BBB reports the same day I received it because their website told me no order number- Took over a month to get a refund - then I had to open a Paypal case to refunded because I got charge for the premier service

Hi is this can scan without check engine light or only use for only check engine lights come on pls

[patrickdmcgee]

I’m ready to see what the Fixd chip will tell me

[mrtygrm]

Will it work on a 2007 PT cruiser. Can it be used in 2 different cars, or do you have to have one for each car?

[InfanteFilms]

I just downloaded the app. I have a explanation mark over the premium link, but nothing is there to do except subscribe. How can I get rid of it?

[violentshemp]

hey fixd, will your code reader tell you why the code is present? meaning, can it tell you a wire is broken, sensor failed, etc? can it also tell you that the vehicle has been in an accident that wasn't reported to insurance?

[stephenmcgraw]

Can someone answer me please and tell me how to buy this is there a catch when I buy it do I have to pay all the time just to have it or ones I buy it it’s mine

[neskuikfren]

There's a code on my sensor but the app never asks for it and I can't find where to input it. Please help the "Scanning for sensors" never works I tried everything (Car on, car off, engine on, ignition only, bluetooth classic on or off) nothing worked

[pamholmes]

Question? Can the FIXD Scanner be used on more than one car?

[Bolzenn]

I did all the right steps but when i get to "scanning for sensor" mine doesnt pop up.
