" 0-60 mph ", not going to do it now because you'll drive right through your house lol. That was funny hahahaha.
I was hesitant at first but now after watching your video I am getting this. Thank you. Who ever invented this also thank you.
EXTRAORDINARILY informative review!
Wish someone would demonstrate a scanner without the premium service to see what readings are available.
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!
Great video and very informative! Thank you for the review!
Yes after watching this video I had to get it ty chris and your friends from Georgia 😊
Thank you so much for a great video.
Im subscribed to your channel.
thank u for the update on this review.
No problem 👍
This was a beautifully made video
Indeed
Perfect, thanks.
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 got it for .99 cente
update
Well how was it?
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
Check the link in the description... big sale right now. Definitely worth picking up! Good luck with that CEL!
Thank you!
thanks Chris
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.
Thanks for watching and for the comment!
It's been 2 years any update
Thank you. I used the link.
You're awesome--thanks!
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.
*A poll on FixD vs BlueDriver would have been pretty useful here!* Which is better?
Obviously Blue Driver what kind of question is that
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 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.
After 8 years and you think this is good? 😂
Looks like a great option for the occasional user!
I think so too! Great for those times when needed!
Wow. I gotta get me one of these!
Make it so :)
this guy has good vibes
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!
It won't fix your vehicle but it will help you figure out the problem and give advice for fixing it
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 🇮🇹
Does fixd shows the top reported fixes for the codes as bluedriver?
Could you tell me if Premium is worth the annual payment ? Maybe an in depth review on Premium.
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
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 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 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???
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.
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
can the basic fixd obd2 open EPB for service?
Will this show random misfires on the cylinders that are missing?
Hi I just ordered this and I would like to know how many vehicles can I hook up to this one port ??
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.
The idea that the FIXD device remains plugged in all the time.
Is the 0 to 60 a premium feature?
Does. Fixed code reader read the transmission codes give answer to whats wrong and how to fix the problem
Cool. Can this delete the code once you fix the problem?
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?
Can it tell problems with AC & power problems?
clear airbag light, abs , can i do this with that?
Can I still connect this to my car without turning my car completely on? My car doesn't come on just the light part. But the actual ignition
Do you leave it in at all time or only when you want to check whatever is wrong with your car.
Does this device read and diagnose SRS Airbag codes?
Can it clear a code after the problem found was fixed?
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.
I change the battery in my car. It keeps dieing. I have FIXD. Will it work if the engine will not turn over.
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?
Will it tell you which cylinder is misfiring?
Would this work with a engine swap?
Can it do reset on warning lights
Can this clear an airbag light?
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.
LMAOO
Can a person use this gadget fixd on a Samsung tablet ?
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 :)
Would this fit in a 1988 Ford F150
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.
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
yes, same item
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.
Does this only monitor the engine? Does it tell you about if you have a transmission issue?
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"?
Does this works in a Toyota Tacoma 1989?
Can it erase codes and read srs?
Can you erase the problem and the engine light disappear?
Air bag comes on but no code. Will this tell me what it is?
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
Does it read ABS, SRS(airbag) or transmission codes?
i'm saying tho does it even clear codes
no.
What if I'm having misfire codes p0300,p0301-08? Does it tell you exactly what is wrong or possibilities of what's causing the problems?
Did you ever get an answer? Im having the vet same troubles
If it's misfiring like that it's most likely a broken head gasket engine need to be repaired or replaced
Can temperature reading
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
Does the app have a preview of the live oil pressure in the engine?
Depends on the car. Any obd2 scantool does the same stuff.
I noticed you took off without removing the sensor . Do you always leave it in ? Or should you remove it every time ?
It doesn't cause any harm to leave it in, plus you're able to view realtime stats via the app.
Thank you
haven't OBD2 scanner been out for decades?
Does this work on vehicles purchased in Canada?
Yes
Is this any better than Blue Driver?
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!
So this can stay connected permanently not only for diagnosing?
Yes
Can that also reprogram a wireless ignition node for a 2011 ram 1500?
. *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.*
Is there any way to reset this gadget, it had my issue, but I accident erased it, and now it keeps telling me that I don't have a problem.
did u clear the codes and make ur engine light go away?
Its probably a pending code.
Is fidx elm327 compatible?
Based on my research I do not believe so.
1 year later first time seeing June 20 2022
Do you leave FIXD in the car at all times?
personally, I do -- and it hasn't caused any problems
How do I download the app on my phone
App Store / Google Play Store
I've heard that if you let this device plugged 24/7 could short out the car computer ... is it truth?
Was this dude on a old school craftsman sears commercial?
I have done a lot of videos for Craftsman (just look at my channel lol) but none are commercials for Sears
@@chris it was this one ua-cam.com/video/oWFW5bMc18E/v-deo.html
Ah! Not a commercial, but a sponsored video segment... but thanks for digging that up! It's been a while since I've seen it ;)
@@chris no problem. It's kind of a blast from the past. I miss the days when sears actually had stores and those good ol USA made craftsman tools lol
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.
can u clear codes?
I heard yes
I just bought one for 20 bucks. Let's see if it's worth it.
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
Will fix tell you a no start but it will crank but no start on a 2003 s10 pick up with a 2.2 liter engine
I just got one and my opinion dont work my car have pressure tire light and low beam light and this scaner don't show any problem
Anyway you look at it you will get ripped off by dealerships or private mechanics. It's part of life.
None of you guys ever show how to get CODES.
A 2005 F-150 is worth $10K? Seriously?
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. . .
These things are useless if you live in Canada. Avoid at all cost
