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.
I know 1 thing I bought one of these and it never worked for me!! And i still have it and it still don't work! All i get is take it to the shop or something like that and spend a ton of money,Cause that's about what it cost!!! Mike
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 was.......but 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.
@ Bill Dux - Thank you for your review. Foolishly, I was actually thinking about buying this because an "expert" mechanic ruined my RAV4 a year and a half ago because after repairing my A/C unit, he forgot to plug in my car's computer that "teaches" it how I drive and how it should shift. My car never worked properly after that, jerked about forever. Took it to a Toyota dealer and they wanted thousands to "try" and fix it, but no guarantees.... I won't be wasting my money on this thing.
As it seems the FIXD is a RIP OFF!!! I ordered the sensor for $19. 99 and my card was charged $99.99 . Now they won't refund the money. So guess what. They found a legal way to steel peoples money !!! I have to get another card just so they can't continue to bill me. Damn what's this world and it dishonest people going to come up with next. The Devil said it's only getting worse. 😕 You know he happened to be telling the truth. Weird Facts are what they are. 😏😐
We left ours in and it drained the battery... We took it out and those problems went away. Just goto auto parts store and they give reliable codes and you don’t have to mess around with all this crap
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 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.

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.
As a fellow ASE certified tech, I agree with you to a certain extent, but I also disagree to a certain extent. 1.) Yes, they do exaggerate the abilities of this thing. Even the most seasoned mechanic can't always tell for sure just based on information from an OBD-II scan. For instance, an emissions small leak. 9 times out of 10 it is the gas cap. However, on that 10th time, it may be a leak somewhere else like a vacuum hose on top of the gas tank...which you can't find without some inspection (usually a smoke test) 2.) With that said, I disagree with your assertion that it's "nothing more than the courtesy scan just about any parts house will give you for free". Those courtesy scans won't give you freeze frame data to tell you the state of the various sensors at the time of an error code being thrown. Those courtesy scans can't give you live data directly off the various sensors inside the car. (Back to point 1......most of that information isn't real useful to a person who isn't already a knowledgable tech...but my point is...this tool is actually much more useful than a courtesy code read at a parts store....in the right hands..
Hi Bill, you do not need the optional subscription to use the free FIXD App! With your FIXD Sensor and the free FIXD App, you can translate 7000+ engine codes into plain English on your smartphone, see how serious your issue is, access detailed repair guides and how-to videos, monitor the health of multiple vehicles, and receive automated maintenance alerts. FIXD Premium is our 100% optional (yet extremely helpful) add-on to the FIXD App. A Premium subscription is NOT required to use the free features of app, scan your vehicle for engine codes, or clear the check engine light.
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
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
Hi Stephen! You can buy at get.fixdapp.com. It's yours once you buy and the app is free. But to unlock its full potential we do recommend FIXD Premium, which is about $8 a month, or $5.53 if paid annually.
Obviously, they would like for you to subscribe to FIXD Premium...and they do give you additional features to justify the cost. BUT, NO you do not have to pay a single dime to use the basic functionality of reading the codes and seeing the recommendations.
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
Me neither and I can't find where to add the code that's on my sensor, the little paper that came with it says "Tap to enter the code" but where do I tap
Hey Blaine! Make sure to download the FIXD app, have Bluetooth enabled on your phone, then you just need to plug the sensor into the OBD2 port on your car and scan!
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?
I recently purchased this FIXD sensor and it is not registering or something. I watched the How to set up Tutorial Video on your webite and followed the instruction per the set up instructions in the Manual Please any help would be greatly appreciated Bluetooth is turned on and WiFi is turned off Nick
Hey Nick! Go ahead and reach out to support@fixdapp.com. I informed them about the issue, and they should be able to get back to you. Let me know how that works out. Cheers!
FIXD I did. I'm hoping everything works Thanks for the prompt reply I followed your instructions and it still doesn't work This is what I did 1. I downloaded the app with Wi-Fi turned off 2. I open the app and hit "register". I then put in my name, a password , my email my phone number 3. The next screen gave me three options 4. I chose the first option "I purchased a FIXD sensor" 5.The next screen told me to put in my unique sensor code 6. After putting in the sensor code I turned the car on. I let the car run for 5 to 10 seconds. I then plugged the sensor into The car Port. The next screen asked if my sensor was plug in? 7. I chose the option "okay it's plugged in" The next screen my sensor appeared on the app I clicked the sensor ....the app then says "Loading" and then it returns me back to the main page...
Hey Nicholas, We can't really help out from youtube, but please send this to our support team, and let us know if they do or don't get back to you. I'll try and help in anyway I can. Cheers!
@@joemunchin6431 1Do we have to use Wifi to install the fixd app? 2-After the app is installed using the wifi, do we then turn off wifi and activate bluetooth to proceed to the next step?
@@dcabana1 yeah. I finally for it to work. But you have to pay $80 a year to subscribe. Just got to harbor Freight and buy a brand new OBII scanner for 100 and it will last forever. !!!
This is a very good video. Thank you. Incredibly and properly facilitated. By any chance does the fixd sensor work on all vehicles. Can you use it to diagnose different vehicles?
Thank you so much for the kind feedback, James! FIXD works on gas-powered (including hybrid) vehicles built after 1996 and diesels built after 2008 with an OBD2 port. Regarding, multiple vehicles: It’s up to you. :) You can use one sensor for all your vehicles, or connect multiple FIXD Sensors to your smartphone to remotely monitor the health of your entire fleet of vehicles and know when it’s time to schedule service - even if you’re hundreds of miles away!
I have order this code reading and it on the way to my home after read all this comments can someone tell me how to send this back and get my money back?.
I agree, I need the same info, i'm worried myself that I have been unsuccessful to date in getting this sensor-app to work. Not impressed at all. Video doesn't match app prompts...customer support seems unknowledgable as well, so I will work on a refund through my credit card...is not
Hi. New usee here. I have problem selecting the model of mirage G4, when I submit the car model, no information appearing. It keeo repeating to select car model. But no information showing.
What Can Fixd Diagnose? Fixd is a useful tool, but it can't diagnose everything. The general rule is that if a problem causes your "check engine" light to turn on, then Fixd can tell you why the light turned on and what type of repair you might need. Diagnosing a car is a whole lot more complicated than just reading trouble codes, and one code can be caused my multiple different problems. So even though Fixd can give you an idea of how to fix your problem, and even help you buy the replacement parts you need, complicated issues may still require the assistance of a professional mechanic.
I tried ordering one but it said error that my account would be charged and to contact customer service . But I guess they don't have a customer service
Hey Dakota, there should be a code on the back of the back of the sensor used to register your sensor into the free FIXD App. Additionally, your FIXD App account will have a PIN number for when you call our FIXD Mechanic Hotline with the optional FIXD Premium upgrade. This number is under the FIXD Premium section of the app.
I will add to this as I see I have forgotten to, the issue I had was my region and this product not working on a car pre 2xxx which they didnt state. Otherwise it does work to getting those codes which can be helpful and easy to read.
Can anyone help me I had the device for awhile now but I lost the cv code on the back of the fixd device and it won’t let me use the app without the code
@@KyleRollinsMammothSolutions If all you are using it for is to pull codes, then that is correct. However, if you know anything at all about diagnosing cars (which is what DYI is all about right?) then you'll need more information than just the code. Freeze frame data can be very useful in diagnosing an issue...and no auto parts store scan will give you that. If it's a current issue instead of just a stored code.....then being able to look at live data can often lead you to the exact right diagnosis.....What reading are you getting from the throttle position sensor, how about the MAP, or MAF sensors? How about the 1st and 2nd O2 sensors on bank 1? Those are all things this can tell you, that will make it much easier to diagnose your problem....and they are also all things you can't get from any auto parts store free scan.
My senser is not working. Have tried multiple times. Lost my phone a couple months ago and got a new phone. Downloaded the fix app plugged it in entered the code and it says where having trouble locating your app . Please check and make sure it's in correctly. I get this over and over again. My engine light is on and I want to find out what's going on .
So sorry to hear you are having some connectivity issues, John. First, we recommend not connecting through your smartphone’s Bluetooth menu and instead connecting directly through the free FIXD App. ⠀ Next, we recommend double checking that there is a blue light that flashes when you plug the sensor into your OBD2 port. ⠀ If you are still running into issues, please visit our support team link in the caption for further troubleshooting.
It truly doesn't matter. The video says to start car first, and then plug in the sensor....but you can plug in the sensor first and then turn on the car and it will work just fine as well. Think about it, they say that you can leave it in the car all the time right? How would that work if you have to unplug it and plug it back in again every time before you can start your car?
FIXD is only able to read and clear your vehicles' check engine light. The other lights (TPMS, ABS, Airbag, Maintenance lights, Stability Control, etc) and issues are controlled by manufacturer-specific parameter identifiers, which makes it difficult for us to read this information through the OBD-II port. ⠀ We are working on licensing this information from the manufacturers and have a few manufacturer codes available, but not for all models that are compatible with FIXD yet.
Thank you so much for ordering FIXD! To open the package the FIXD Sensor comes in, slide the plastic case out of the paper sleeve and pull off the lid of the case. Your FIXD Sensor should then be easily lifted out of the case. Please let us know if you need further assistance.
Hi Ron, the free FIXD App should download relatively quickly, just make sure your phone operating system is up to date. Do you happen to be asking about using the "Tap to Scan" feature of the app?
I hope not!!! I'm worried myself that I have been unsuccessful to date in getting this sensor-app to work. Not impressed at all. Video doesn't match app prompts...customer support seems unknowledgable as well, so I will work on a refund through my credit card...is not
It truly makes absolutely no difference. In the video they said to turn on the car first...but there's no reason to do so. It's actually probably safer to plug it in first and then turn it on (which is how much OBD-II scanners work anyway)
Can anyone help me I had the device for awhile now but recently the cv code on the back of the fixd app was scratched off and it won’t let me use it in the app without the code

Wished I'd have known that it's a $50 a month fee to have this thing idling if you don't have a check engine light on.... If I owned an auto shop it'd be great but I don't..
My FIXD is two years old because i didn't need it at the time, But thought it would be good if i ever had this problem or something!!! So now in 2019 I'm having a check engine problem! And it can't find my phone! What can i do??
Hey John! Good question - typically when people go outside their wifi signal gets weaker. We need to make sure we have a strong connection for our sensor. Since cellular data tends to be more reliable (given your location obviously) we recommend switching. Let me know if you have any other questions!
WIFI??? Do you have to have a Wifi connection to use this?? If so and your can acts up in the middle of the woods where are you going to get Wifi?????? HUH?
You don't necessarily have to turn off wi-fi.....it's just if you are in your drive-way and your phone is still connected to your wifi router, and the signal strength is really low (because you are outside of your house) it will take a lot longer to download the app, than if you were on 4G or 5G cell signal.
Okay that gas cap shit yah pulled on that mechanic the trouble code for the gas cap don't say it's gas cap it says "evaporative emissions system" so that could be anything canister purge valve or the fuel tank pressure sensor like that guy said. I'm sure he looked at fuel cap and was like "it looks fine to me" must be fuel tank vent pressure sensor. Literally all mechanic guess untill they find what's wrong and return what wasn't it to autozone 🤣🤣🤣 only trust the guy with the 10,000$ snap on machine and who has experience with your type on model vehicle

fixd youtube ads are VERY misleading. there is NO scan tool that tells you which part has failed. codes are there to send you in a direction. training and proper tools will find the correct problem.
Downloaded program as per directions. Registered program. Started vehicle, plugged in sensor. Phone would not communicate with sensor. Uninstalled program and reinstalled program. Can't do that, email had already been taken. I now own a useless toy. Please cancel any subscription that I had to sign up for.

P0301 on a ‘13 Ram 5.7. Please tell me with your code reader what is causing the cyl 1 misfire. Is it the fact that when the previous owner installed a spark plug with ZERO gap (literally touching). Was that the misfire?? O wait, the primary plug fired fine. Did the secondary plug cause the coil to go bad? WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF THE P0301???? FYI, unless you do actually diagnostic you don’t know. QUIT BUYING THIS CRAP only reason for this is to give you a starting point. Might as well go to zone and get the code read for free.

Stop falsely advertising and ruining mechanics good name a factory vehicle require a special reader to actually get the correct problems with a vehicle. The majority of the time it’s a graph reading to understand the problem not just a “oil pressure sensor”. Most mechanics will be in a lot of trouble if they falsely charge a customer.
Do not buy this product. They advertised it at a cost of $19.99. They then tried to charge me $59.99. They refunded my $59.99 and this morning they charged me $99.99. Be informed. Scam alert
dont waste your money. the first thing that happens is they want to sell you a monthly subscription so the 50.00 is just the initial investment. then it does not diagnose anything but the check engine code. my truck is running like crap and it says it has no problems. i got a mass air flow sensor for about the same price as this pos ant it fixed it. waste of time and money.

Most cars are still built in North America for the USDM market, so the whole "I don't own a domestic" is irrelevant. It's not usually the parts themselves that are an issue, but rather the assembly. Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, Subaru, BMW, Daimler (Mercedes), VW and Volvo are assembled in North America for this market. Parts can be an issue though. I know for a fact that some crucial components for engines, for example, are manufactured in North America as well. Honda's pretty notorious with valve springs being manufactured in the US so poorly that they all have to be sorted by hand to throw away the massive amount of defective springs so they don't get caught on the assembly line and have to stop production. And I own a 2020 Honda - it's built in Alliston, Ontario. Anyone who believes there is a large gap in quality between USDM assembled cars is foolish.
I think Fixd is a good product. It can definitely help the home gamer. I'm a certified and skilled mechanic by hobby, and previously by profession. I have to say though, your ads are garbage. There are mechanics out there that are scumbags, that's for sure. Your ads however propagate the idea that many or most mechanics are like this. A lot of times replacing the sensor or part associated with the OBD code does solve the issue, however people that don't know much about cars will think that this is always the case. What if the code is the only indication of a serious electric or mechanical issue? There are a lot of problems that or more complex than a parts cannon solution, which is not in the skill realm of most of your market. You've been misleading and downplaying the value of a good and honest mechanic. The blue collars of the field do not appreciate the messaging of your ads. Yall know it too, I'm sure.
This is why there needs to be a government regulation of the industry. And real consequences for the unscrupulous mechanics that take advantage of the unsuspecting.
@@screwyootube1I disagree about having more regulation. Oversight policies WILL lead to even less consumer control over how to repair their vehicles (as it has in other industries) Then, you'll WISH you could get screwed by a mechanic after seeing how bad the manufacturers screw you. Mechanics that take advantage of their customers should be called out, publicly shamed, sued, whatever. However, the person who got screwed is NOT without fault. The customer doesn't need to be a pro to realize they're about to get screwed. Nothing more than basic research (2nd opinion, comparing prices, check the code at autozone or with scanner and see if mechanic's estimate makes sense) and a layman's understanding will give you a level of confidence when walking in to a shop so that YOU WILL NOT EVEN COME OFF AS A TARGETABLE PERSON IN THE FIRST PLACE. A business wouldn't take the risk of being bought screwing somebody, and would only try to do so (if they're like that) to somebody who clearly has no idea what's up with their car cause it can be sensed.

1.) Yes, they do exaggerate the abilities of this thing. Even the most seasoned mechanic can't always tell for sure just based on information from an OBD-II scan. For instance, an emissions small leak. 9 times out of 10 it is the gas cap. However, on that 10th time, it may be a leak somewhere else like a vacuum hose on top of the gas tank...which you can't find without some inspection (usually a smoke test)
2.) With that said, I disagree with your assertion that it's "nothing more than the courtesy scan just about any parts house will give you for free". Those courtesy scans won't give you freeze frame data to tell you the state of the various sensors at the time of an error code being thrown. Those courtesy scans can't give you live data directly off the various sensors inside the car. (Back to point 1......most of that information isn't real useful to a person who isn't already a knowledgable tech...but my point is...this tool is actually much more useful than a courtesy code read at a parts store....in the right hands..
@@richardnicely5573 do you think fixd is gearing their ads to the "'right hands"?
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?
No, you do not have to plug in all the time. I only use mine should the check engine light on or random will check car at oil change.
It might also drain your battery if you leave it in all the time.
Do you have to subscribe to a software program to make the FIXD work?
Hi Bill, you do not need the optional subscription to use the free FIXD App!

Thank you so much
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
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?
You can use it on multiple cars
I’m ready to see what the Fixd chip will tell me
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
Hi Stephen! You can buy at get.fixdapp.com. It's yours once you buy and the app is free. But to unlock its full potential we do recommend FIXD Premium, which is about $8 a month, or $5.53 if paid annually.
@@fixdapp $8 a month or $5.53 if paid annually? Helloooooooo?

Obviously, they would like for you to subscribe to FIXD Premium...and they do give you additional features to justify the cost. BUT, NO you do not have to pay a single dime to use the basic functionality of reading the codes and seeing the recommendations.
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?
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
I did all the right steps but when i get to "scanning for sensor" mine doesnt pop up.

Hey Blaine! Make sure to download the FIXD app, have Bluetooth enabled on your phone, then you just need to plug the sensor into the OBD2 port on your car and scan!

I did. I'm hoping everything works
Thanks for the prompt reply
I followed your instructions and it still doesn't work
This is what I did
1. I downloaded the app with Wi-Fi turned off
2. I open the app and hit "register". I then put in my name, a password , my email my phone number
3. The next screen gave me three options
4. I chose the first option "I purchased a FIXD sensor"
5.The next screen told me to put in my unique sensor code
6. After putting in the sensor code I turned the car on. I let the car run for 5 to 10 seconds. I then plugged the sensor into The car Port. The next screen asked if my sensor was plug in?
7. I chose the option "okay it's plugged in"
The next screen my sensor appeared on the app
I clicked the sensor ....the app then says "Loading"
and then it returns me back to the main page...

Thank you so much for the kind feedback, James! FIXD works on gas-powered (including hybrid) vehicles built after 1996 and diesels built after 2008 with an OBD2 port.
Regarding, multiple vehicles: It’s up to you. :) You can use one sensor for all your vehicles, or connect multiple FIXD Sensors to your smartphone to remotely monitor the health of your entire fleet of vehicles and know when it’s time to schedule service - even if you’re hundreds of miles away!

Thanks..well explained

Does this work on jdm vehicles. Bought the product but there is no Vin number visible to me.
What Can Fixd Diagnose?
Fixd is a useful tool, but it can't diagnose everything. The general rule is that if a problem causes your "check engine" light to turn on, then Fixd can tell you why the light turned on and what type of repair you might need.
Diagnosing a car is a whole lot more complicated than just reading trouble codes, and one code can be caused my multiple different problems. So even though Fixd can give you an idea of how to fix your problem, and even help you buy the replacement parts you need, complicated issues may still require the assistance of a professional mechanic.
Does this automatically connect to bluetooth during set up
the problem is that the app cost $70.00 dollars per years is a ripoff.
Do you know if it can be used without upgrading to premium? If you do, then I just got scammed.
I hat sense does it make to turn off your wifi
I tried ordering one but it said error that my account would be charged and to contact customer service . But I guess they don't have a customer service
The CV code in my censor was erased.
Does that mean I won't be able to use my fixd sensor anymore?
What is the PIN for the fixed OBD2 sensor
Hey Dakota, there should be a code on the back of the back of the sensor used to register your sensor into the free FIXD App.
Additionally, your FIXD App account will have a PIN number for when you call our FIXD Mechanic Hotline with the optional FIXD Premium upgrade. This number is under the FIXD Premium section of the app.
So far not impressed just doesnt want to work any one would think this is a scam product
Dave Potter how did it save you anything? You can get codes from any auto parts store free.
That's because it absolutely is a scam. Currently dealing with them charging my account without permission.
I will add to this as I see I have forgotten to, the issue I had was my region and this product not working on a car pre 2xxx which they didnt state. Otherwise it does work to getting those codes which can be helpful and easy to read.
Can anyone help me I had the device for awhile now but I lost the cv code on the back of the fixd device and it won’t let me use the app without the code
@@KyleRollinsMammothSolutions If all you are using it for is to pull codes, then that is correct. However, if you know anything at all about diagnosing cars (which is what DYI is all about right?) then you'll need more information than just the code. Freeze frame data can be very useful in diagnosing an issue...and no auto parts store scan will give you that. If it's a current issue instead of just a stored code.....then being able to look at live data can often lead you to the exact right diagnosis.....What reading are you getting from the throttle position sensor, how about the MAP, or MAF sensors? How about the 1st and 2nd O2 sensors on bank 1? Those are all things this can tell you, that will make it much easier to diagnose your problem....and they are also all things you can't get from any auto parts store free scan.
My senser is not working. Have tried multiple times. Lost my phone a couple months ago and got a new phone. Downloaded the fix app plugged it in entered the code and it says where having trouble locating your app . Please check and make sure it's in correctly. I get this over and over again. My engine light is on and I want to find out what's going on .
So sorry to hear you are having some connectivity issues, John.
First, we recommend not connecting through your smartphone’s Bluetooth menu and instead connecting directly through the free FIXD App.
⠀
Next, we recommend double checking that there is a blue light that flashes when you plug the sensor into your OBD2 port.
⠀
If you are still running into issues, please visit our support team link in the caption for further troubleshooting.
When you have to start the vehicle do you have to have the engine running or just activate the battery for the sensor to be useable?
Start the car engine running
That answer was in the video.
It truly doesn't matter. The video says to start car first, and then plug in the sensor....but you can plug in the sensor first and then turn on the car and it will work just fine as well. Think about it, they say that you can leave it in the car all the time right? How would that work if you have to unplug it and plug it back in again every time before you can start your car?
@@richardnicely5573 Dont leave it plugged in it might drain your battery
Will obd tell you about a faulty control arm?
FIXD is only able to read and clear your vehicles' check engine light. The other lights (TPMS, ABS, Airbag, Maintenance lights, Stability Control, etc) and issues are controlled by manufacturer-specific parameter identifiers, which makes it difficult for us to read this information through the OBD-II port.
⠀
We are working on licensing this information from the manufacturers and have a few manufacturer codes available, but not for all models that are compatible with FIXD yet.
Can you use the Fixd for more than one vehicle?
Yes! You can add multiple vehicles, but to accurately track maintenance and mileage it's a good idea to have one in each car.
How do I open the container it comes in. I’m stuck on that part
Thank you so much for ordering FIXD! To open the package the FIXD Sensor comes in, slide the plastic case out of the paper sleeve and pull off the lid of the case. Your FIXD Sensor should then be easily lifted out of the case. Please let us know if you need further assistance.
How long does it take to download. it just says "pending" and goes on and on, butnever seems to finish
Hi Ron, the free FIXD App should download relatively quickly, just make sure your phone operating system is up to date.
Do you happen to be asking about using the "Tap to Scan" feature of the app?
Do you have to pay a monthly fee for the service for fixd
I hope not!!! I'm worried myself that I have been unsuccessful to date in getting this sensor-app to work. Not impressed at all. Video doesn't match app prompts...customer support seems unknowledgable as well, so I will work on a refund through my credit card...is not
. *How do I use app without creating an account?*
I was told to plug the sensor in before starting the car.
It truly makes absolutely no difference. In the video they said to turn on the car first...but there's no reason to do so. It's actually probably safer to plug it in first and then turn it on (which is how much OBD-II scanners work anyway)
Can anyone help me I had the device for awhile now but recently the cv code on the back of the fixd app was scratched off and it won’t let me use it in the app without the code

Why do I need to turn off wi-fi? 22 seconds into the video
Hey John! Good question - typically when people go outside their wifi signal gets weaker. We need to make sure we have a strong connection for our sensor. Since cellular data tends to be more reliable (given your location obviously) we recommend switching. Let me know if you have any other questions!
WIFI??? Do you have to have a Wifi connection to use this?? If so and your can acts up in the middle of the woods where are you going to get Wifi?????? HUH?
You don't necessarily have to turn off wi-fi.....it's just if you are in your drive-way and your phone is still connected to your wifi router, and the signal strength is really low (because you are outside of your house) it will take a lot longer to download the app, than if you were on 4G or 5G cell signal.

I won't need this device because I don't own a domestic vehicle (Ford, GM or Chrysler).
I'll upsale you on a model for your vehicle 🤣🤣
Most cars are still built in North America for the USDM market, so the whole "I don't own a domestic" is irrelevant. It's not usually the parts themselves that are an issue, but rather the assembly. Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, Subaru, BMW, Daimler (Mercedes), VW and Volvo are assembled in North America for this market. Parts can be an issue though. I know for a fact that some crucial components for engines, for example, are manufactured in North America as well. Honda's pretty notorious with valve springs being manufactured in the US so poorly that they all have to be sorted by hand to throw away the massive amount of defective springs so they don't get caught on the assembly line and have to stop production. And I own a 2020 Honda - it's built in Alliston, Ontario. Anyone who believes there is a large gap in quality between USDM assembled cars is foolish.
@@danieldeaseweitzelwalker I know, I worked at HCM in Alliston for 11 years.
I think Fixd is a good product. It can definitely help the home gamer. I'm a certified and skilled mechanic by hobby, and previously by profession. I have to say though, your ads are garbage. There are mechanics out there that are scumbags, that's for sure. Your ads however propagate the idea that many or most mechanics are like this. A lot of times replacing the sensor or part associated with the OBD code does solve the issue, however people that don't know much about cars will think that this is always the case. What if the code is the only indication of a serious electric or mechanical issue? There are a lot of problems that or more complex than a parts cannon solution, which is not in the skill realm of most of your market. You've been misleading and downplaying the value of a good and honest mechanic. The blue collars of the field do not appreciate the messaging of your ads. Yall know it too, I'm sure.
This is why there needs to be a government regulation of the industry. And real consequences for the unscrupulous mechanics that take advantage of the unsuspecting.
@@screwyootube1I disagree about having more regulation. Oversight policies WILL lead to even less consumer control over how to repair their vehicles (as it has in other industries) Then, you'll WISH you could get screwed by a mechanic after seeing how bad the manufacturers screw you. Mechanics that take advantage of their customers should be called out, publicly shamed, sued, whatever. However, the person who got screwed is NOT without fault. The customer doesn't need to be a pro to realize they're about to get screwed. Nothing more than basic research (2nd opinion, comparing prices, check the code at autozone or with scanner and see if mechanic's estimate makes sense) and a layman's understanding will give you a level of confidence when walking in to a shop so that YOU WILL NOT EVEN COME OFF AS A TARGETABLE PERSON IN THE FIRST PLACE. A business wouldn't take the risk of being bought screwing somebody, and would only try to do so (if they're like that) to somebody who clearly has no idea what's up with their car cause it can be sensed.
