Not as advertised

The website clearly states this removes seat belt chime on the 6th gen 4Runner… it’s not there. I’ve contacted support, they’ve been completely unresponsive.

Lots of features and settings to make the car work the way I want. Just make sure your car is on and actually running (not just accessories) to see all the features.

Great app

Version 10 no longer lets me connect to obdlink mx+ after I just got through paying for a year subscription to be able to use this. Please fix

Edit: device is working again and when it is, it’s a fantastic app and easy to change settings.

Rip Off, costs more than a legit scanner

OB2 scanners will stop working when they release new version - even though car is the same and I had all the functionality I wanted prior. They will keep charging you for the app even though the Bluetooth scanner they sold you is now a paperweight.
