Opinions on Code reader

Anyone have or had experience with this unit? Seems like a pretty good deal to me.

I have it too - works great.

It's not just a code reader, you can use it to do basic programming.

If you have an Android phone there's an app called Torque that will read and clear codes. The BlueTooth adapter for that is about $15 on Amazon.

Yup, you can read codes from every module in the car, clear them, plus change a bunch of options. I converted my car to metric with it and played with the DRL options, etc. Can activate blink on lock, alarm if you have the hardware, windows up/down with remote, etc, automatic lock, seat belt chimes, etc - I don't get why nobody has this.

Many LCM options are not available though.

Sweet. Ordering one today...not sure if I should try and get it from a more known dealer or not though.

Xcar is legit... They sell a ton of OBD stuff. Worst case file a chargeback with your bank. Mine took 2 weeks to show up from Hong Kong.
