Innova 1000 Bluetooth OBD2 Scanner for iPhone & Android - Predict Car Problems Before They Happen - No Subscriptions - Detect Check Engine, ABS, SRS Issues for Cars 1996+

One of the best items I've gotten for car troubleshooting. This one is everything I expected plus a little more with the simplicity of the way the app sorts the faults. So far it has worked really well and has been very accurate with reading codes on all three of my vehicles. Surprised at how quickly it returns the results for a portable unit. You can save your vehicles and not have to enter VIN every time thereafter. Wasn't hard connecting to my phone once the app was downloaded. Every time I have had a warning light it has accurately given the same code result as the mechanic shop nearby I use. The fact that it lets you click on the needed parts and does an instant search at most common after market stores locally makes it that much faster to find what you need for the repair. Makes it easy to have a reference on what the potential parts could cost. Also, to know what parts are actually needed before going to a shop. The other cool feature I like is it gives the severity of fault and ratings on urgency of repair. Planning to buy another to place in my sister's car so I can teach her how to check codes and tell me what is needed before going to help fix things on her car....Perfect gift for your wife, girlfriend, or college student to make car maintenance easier and more efficient. Great gift for a guy too! Definitely worth what I paid for it.

Easy setup, works great, easy to use, a very informative tool. Works fast, diagnosis entire vehicle, connected quickly , worth the price to get the answer to the codes and also projects the cost of parts to repair the vehicle.

Useful scanner tool although likely better for DiY/owner applications than for pros.Helpful to be able to leave the BlueTooth (BT) interface (wireless) plug in the OBD2 port so that the iPhone app can be started with little difficulty when a problem pops up. The BT pairing process is slow and is not always successful, but the app is stable if sometimes slow in operation once the link is established.Unfortunately, each app restart requires that the user re-enter the vehicle VIN for proper operation. Apparently, the phone app does not store this info. This VIN-reentry is really inconvenient if you are starting up the app quickly to capture a transient problem.Overall, the $100 cost (or less w/discounts) is a reasonable investment for the occasional user.

I’m definitely not one to leave reviews, however I’m extremely thrilled with this scanner. I’ve been having an on and off check engine light on my 2018 Silverado 1500 since I bought the vehicle in 2021. Usually it only comes on during the Minnesota winter, so having to drive to Autozone or bring it into the dealership is a real pain when it’s -15° out.Getting the scanner and app set up took literally one minute. Captured everything I need from the Vehicle information to the MIL DTC and other stored codes. Some have said the dongle is cheaply made, which might be true, but what difference does it make when it’s discrete and clean. What matters is the ability to hold a connection (no issues), reliability, and that it functions correctly- all of which seem to be true.Definitely would recommend to anyone who is mechanically inclined or if you’re a cautious driver who hates the pesky orange light. You can clear codes, monitor live reports, record your vehicles data. Really a sweet tool.

I bought this because their website claimed it would read transmission temp on the car I entered into their search. Sadly, it does not. Also, the custom scan function doesn't work either-it does a full scan no matter what I select. I have contacted the vendor and have sent the data captures to them so fingers crossed. It is however, easier to use than the older dedicated scanner I bought from Sears 8 years ago, so there is that. I rarely use my older scanner and when I do, I have to fumble around for several minutes trying to figure out how to do things on it. This innova 1000 is very easy to understand using the cellphone app and runs very well despite the mentioned flaws.

The product works great. I own two of the units. I keep the plugged into my vehicles all the time. They can give me real-time information. I am extremely satisfied with both devices and much less expensive than the handheld devices.
