Don’t buy it

It takes a few try’s to connect. It’s very clunky app. Wouldn’t waste my time

Bosch 1050 is terrible

Why on earth would you not make this compatible while vehicle is in motion.
Have you ever worked as a ASE certified mechanic one day in your life?!?!?!
To properly diagnose drivability issues we need that live data graph while the vehicle is being driven. This is a waste of $100.
Everyone, do yourself a favor and buy the Walmart bluedriver obd wireless scanner. It actually does what you need it to do.
Bosch had a good product until they literally shot themselves in the face making it un able to operate when vehicle is in motion. What a bunch of morons who came up with that.

Very useful

I have been using the app for sometime, 3 or 4 years. Bottom line is that I have saved time and money with this app. It gives deep information like transmission temperature in order to know when to add fluid at the correct level on modern cars that do nit have a level dip stick. I like the app. Only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the plug in Sensor was more expensive than other sensors. But I guess I paid for the name brand.

Don’t buy!!!!

I’ve been messing with this piece of garbage for well over an hour! Won’t connect to my vehicle! I won’t ever buy anything else made by Bosch ever again!

Very upset customer!!!

Bosch mobile scan

Purchased this module. Down loaded it immediately asked to update. Seems to stream live data ok while parked. As soon as you start to move it disconnects. Complete waste of money. Do not waste your money.

Useless paper weight

It tells me I need to update the firmware. I tell it to update and it gives me the status bar acting like it’s going to update. The app automatically crashes. I open up the app again, it shows the status bar and crashes. I force close the app, open the app and attempt to read the car again. Then you can guess what happens, the cycle starts over again.

This item was ok before they took away the ability to watch the car while moving, now though this item is literally useless and I’m forced to buy a different reader.
You can bet it will not be a bosche.

Not good!

I paid $40 some dollars for this thing, downloaded the App and it connected long enough to update and then couldn’t get it to connect again.

Useless

The app is useless if you can’t see live data while moving!

Shaking my head....

Thinking this would be a good tool to have, I purchased the tool and downloaded the app. To my surprise it seemed easy to use until the app decides it won’t do what your asking. Read and clear a code...doesn’t seem to hard, but the app has multiple glitches every time I attempt to use it. Yes it will connect at first but then says the module cannot perform an erase with KOEO. I have verified this multiple times to only be dissatisfied and have to take the vehicle somewhere to have the codes cleared once a repair has been made. PLEASE update the app and fix the glitches and my rating would go up.

last update ruined it, no support

I paid $100 for the adapter and the app worked fine until a recent firmware update which failed. It no longer works and no responses from email support. A waste.
