I was hesitant at first but now after watching your video I am getting this. Thank you. Who ever invented this also 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!

" 0-60 mph ", not going to do it now because you'll drive right through your house lol. That was funny hahahaha.

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.

[leopoldogonzalez]

Wish someone would demonstrate a scanner without the premium service to see what readings are available.

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.

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.

My dad just gave me one today and said this will fix your cars. I had no idea what or how amazing FIXD truly is. Within an hour i diagnosed and corrected issues on 3 of the 4 vehicles i own. I was expecting to spend thousands and so much time to get them running again. Ten dollars and a few google searches later and i no longer have ANY issues with my vehicles!

[hutchfromba]

Could you tell me if Premium is worth the annual payment ? Maybe an in depth review on Premium.

[skullheadwater]

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?

[BrentCharles]

Wow! Excellent review! I am considering this instead of the $269 on that I saw. I actually had no idea of its capabilities. Thanks for sharing!

[PatriotCoinRings]

*A poll on FixD vs BlueDriver would have been pretty useful here!* Which is better?

[WilliamBrown-rq]

Yes after watching this video I had to get it ty chris and your friends from Georgia 😊

[shaunspellman]

great video! I've had mine for a couple of years and it does the job!! 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

[mrtigeruc]

Cool. Can this delete the code once you fix the problem?

[hectorchapa]

Does it read ABS, SRS(airbag) or transmission codes?

[everythingelse.]

I just bought Autel AP200 Bluetooth OBD2 Scanner and it cost alot for every car brand you must pay, not once but every so im planning to go for FIXD.

[chadolive]

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

[adventureislife]

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

[deniseakagvtspender]

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.
