GEARWRENCH Everyday Diagnostic Tool Bluetooth OBDII Tester | GWSCAN

Note que en 2 talleres de tres a los que llevé mi vehículo los escáneres eran incapaces de leer los códigos en mi auto, así que compré uno de la marca astro ai. Este tampoco pudo leer los códigos que están en el tablero. Así que compré este escáner, y resulta que sí es compatible con mi SUV. De hecho puedes descargar paquetes para trabajar con muchas marcas diferentes. Sí es algo lento, pero tampoco es algo que sientas que se te va la vida esperando. No he explorado sus funciones completamente pero tiene muchas funciones especiales, como TPMS, asientos, frenos, etc. A mí me sirve para resolver muchos problemas que ni en talleres profesionales me habían podido resolver, así que le doy 5 estrellas

Excellent tool and easy to use giving me exactly the info I needed to tell my mechanic.

Very solid unit for the price. Initial setup is quick and simple - mine on an Android based phone. Normal Play Store app install and then a few demographic entries for registration and license key activation. First use then goes into vehicle specific data downloads. Expect 5-10 minutes as this unit has compatibility with many vehicles makes and models. Once initial config of the app is done and the unit is plugged into the vehicle OBD port the app connected quickly. Once connected to the unit the app gives you the option of doing vehicle specific diagnostics either automatically or manually. The auto detect function worked well for multiple vehicles - BMW, 2015 and 2024 Subarus. Speed of the diagnostic scan depends on the actual vehicle as each of mine varies but all were extremely fast when compared to my other scanners (hardware and software based). The initial scan auto detects VIN, make, model, etc. and then scans all of the vehicle's available modules. Once scanned you can view a large amount of module parameters and states. A few examples - for the 2015 Subaru it was stated on a different forum that the GW tools do not have CVT fluid temp, which is key to proper filling procedure. Well, I can confirm that it does w 1/10th degree resolution. While I was in there, I was able to read and clear all errors across many modules. While in the transmission module, the BT unit has a broad number of good monitors for many different states (e g., shows live state of each gear) and a nice feature is it gives the normal value ranges for the numeric monitors. Just to check, I went into a few other modules and was please to see the same broad range of monitors (for example, live state of brake light switch) which makes troubleshooting and ruling out certain components so much easier. Unlike other scanners, you don't have to setup a data display screen to see every value. You do have the option to monitor the value trends and then generate a report. For the BMW, it actually has BMW error codes vs P codes and a large number of diagnostics when compared to my other BMW specific scanner. The unique item I wanted to try was the FCA Autoauth function which allows you to bypass the firewall on newer FCA vehicles (e.g., Fiat, Chrysler, Ram, etc.). Tried the unit in my 2019 Ram 1500 - unit auto prompts to enter an Autoauth account - I was able to quickly login w my Autoauth account and it was able to get through the secure gateway to do full diag and actuation - this is a big bonus. Aside from diagnostics, the unit has a robust set of functions that you can perform (of course these are vehicle specific). As an example, with a button push or two I was easily able to place the emergency brake in maintenance mode on all my vehicles with this unit. All in all, a pretty decent unit for the money especially for multiple makes. Of course this does not do what it isn't designed for - so it is not a programmer and doesn't claim to be. So for those with dealer lever tools (like ISTA for BMWs) this won't give you module layouts, troubleshooting plans or maintenance plans - but what it advertises itself as it did an exceptional job across my 4 different vehicles.

The bluetooth would not connect on my new 5G Blackview Pro 9000 android 14 no matter what I did. When the OBD was installed it did send a pairing request but still no luck as I literally tried all combinations. Connecting with an old CAT S62 Pro android 11 that I had spare proved successful and then connecting to my old Samsung Galaxy 12.2" Pro tablet was the master stroke instead of those tiny little screens this is now my go to workshop tool. I have already done an autoscan but it could not find my VIN, the option to enter it manually was a winner so I ran a scan, found a couple of issues (one of which I knew about) and sent a report to my own desktop email account where I split the monitor screen and started searching Fault Codes. Can not wait to run the Live Scan and get my old girl running like a dream. CHEERS!

Setup was easy and straightforward. I reset the emergency parking brake on my 2020 Toyota corolla after doing a brake job on the rear. It was very snappy. Managed to scan the entire cars modules (36 of them) in under 1 minute.
