GEARWRENCH Everyday Diagnostic Tool Bluetooth OBDII Tester | GWSCAN

I did not receive a card with activation code!

Fantastic piece of equipment. It’s small and simple. It does regular fault scan and it also has a deep scan option. The deep scan option is valuable to retrieve codes that are deeper than the original issue. Standard fault code is searching for a reason that your check engine light is illuminated. The deep scan option is to find any unrelated DTC that your car has that isn’t normally as important as the ones immediately stored on your vehicle to cause the CEL. Both options can erase the fault codes. It has a certain amount of live data you can view. Not too much. Basic info for general components type of thing. There are some other options you can view and see in the app settings but it’s more preference than control. However; there is a form of control option but your vehicle must support it. Overall, great product. It’s cheap and reliable. Bluetooth, and it’s better than visiting your local store to retrieve codes.

Bought this as an open box item sold by Amazon Returns. It arrived quickly and as described, but a previous purchaser had registered the device with GearWrench and did not de-register when returning it (Amazon Rental program, I guess). Emails and phone calls to GearWrench support after three weeks have not resulted in any return communication or removal of the old account so that I can activate the device and use it for my own. Phone Support says, "I'll let our Engineer on the West Coast know so he can fix this for you." But no results from GearWrench and a bricked device on my bench for the time being.

Dont buy used, likely already activated. Not worth the savings for the time you will take to work this out with gearwrench support

This does not clear codes on many older Chrysler vehicles. It says it has sent the computer the information to clear the code, but the MIL stays on, which is specifically why I bought this item. Also it makes you enter the VIN and then still it doesn't recognize the vehicle. IT IS ALSO EXTREMELY SLOW. A cheap wired code reader accesses the information faster, and time is money, so buy a different product. I wouldn't recommend this at all. On GM vehicles it has froze and forced me to reopen the app multiple times.
