Scotty Kilmer I have two of the $10-20 ones and, at least in my experience, it does all of this same stuff. What makes the difference is the software used. Sure, you don’t get all the recall info and specs but in a pinch I can find that stuff online. I’ve been using the Android app “Torque”. It even has the ability to scan through all possible PIDs, even finding a lot of the ones that are “hidden” by the manufacturer. Now, it takes a lot of work to figure out how to use the data that’s coming in once you find those hidden PIDs, but I was still impressed with the feature. I’m sure the BlueDriver one is great, but for those of us that are broke as hell, the $10-20 ones work fantastically for the price. I’ve had both (an iPhone and Android one) for almost two years now with no problems.

Hello...which "two of the $10-20 ones" worked with Android?...Many say android but are really for apple....thanks

MAybe;..but you dont know

Oddly, its also $99 in Canada (which would mean about $78 US). will this thing tell me if there's a problem with the ABS system, as most don't.

Scotty Kilmer Thanks for the link Scotty

Bob Jazzman BAHAHA.. Well said 😂😎👍

You had one comment.....and you killed it. Funny stuff.

Does it tell you the exact problem?

​@@staytrue2u92no! None do!

yes it does ​@@staytrue2u92

@@staytrue2u92yes

Does work with merceads too???

Does it show the battery voltage

Does it show transmission temperature

But will it blend?

Does it do cartwheels?

which one do you have? thanks

So the blue driver does do abs. ?

@@stephenmetz2044 It sure does. You can get them for a little cheaper but I like the support from bluedriver and it seems to be the best one $100 and under. Mine shows up tomorrow and I plan on using it when buying some used cars.

@@soniapatterson7254 not sure what your question means but hopefully you got it answered. He’s talking about the bluedriver obdll diagnostic tool.

Only if it's a Toyota

Ian Knau Not really! Mechanics are notorious for not working on their personal vehicles

Lol no it's not a Mazda to be smiling lol

Haha.

Mt man 1949 so they pay someone to do something they absolutely know they can do? Ok...

Thetreetroll you know they want to keep the dealer maintenance alive by keeping us wondering wtf happened to our car

Thetreetroll You realize car companies make shitty cheap cars so you'll have to buy another one sooner right? If they really wanted a long lasting high quality car they could easily make them

Because it's not profitable for the companies if people diagnose/repair their own cars

It HURTS the slimy dealership's profit.

Their dealer service departments would go broke!!

I think he's onto something :D I like the videos too though.

Does it read transmission codes?

YES

It is. I don't remember what reader I bought, but I downloaded the TorquePro app. It doesn't have the vehicle history stuff with regard to recalls and TSBs, but it gives you the tools for performance and system monitoring. If you connect it with a tablet, you can set up a custom digital gauge cluster to show any parameters the PCM is monitoring.

R.t Sneaky, I like it. Great idea.

EverythingonWheels Maybe for guys buying auction vehicles to resell? No bulky scanner... Pull the driver out of your pocket and BOOM! You got it!

EverythingonWheels I went on Amazon to look at this, one of the reviews is written by a guy who flips cars. He takes this tool to auctions and uses it on his lot to demonstrate to customers that the car is running free of error codes. He swears by it and wrote a five-star glowing review.

You looked way too much into that one.

Ryan Littleton

What videos? Ive been subbed for over a year and haven’t seen one repair video.

scotty uses his phone as a screw driver man that's funny🤣

What was that other reader?

I plan to, thanks!

Relax. Nobody hates Scotty Kilmer

Scotty is on my top five youtubers list.

I've found it mostly useless. The graphical interfaces are very clunky. The mode 6 data only shows PID numbers without any identifiers that tell you what is being measured. It has a lot of problems connecting through bluetooth, and remaining connected. It claims to report SRS/ABS codes, but my SRS light is on and it reports no codes stored.

@@anti0918 Thanks for your report.

That's what she said.

@@anti0918 which one would you recommend then?

How is it working for you.

That's the app, not the adapter. Apps like Torque have been doing the same thing for years.

The tool and app work together.​@@conchobar

I always tend to like people a little better when they have a cat. It shows they have a heart.

Eman 08 True but the Chinese ones do almost all what 500$ devices do except the reflashing ECUs which u hv to pay more $$ to toyota each time you need to use that service even if u already paid 500$!! i never heard a hacked techstream damaged any car entire electrical system🤤🤤

A lot of older earlier versions had malware & problems but the later version I bought did not. I thought the same skeptical way as you did but it is the full software and I scanned the disc for malware/viruses before I installed anything. Nothing was ever damaged nor did I receive false readings on my Lexus GS300 and I have used this software and USB cable on about 20 different Toyota and Lexus vehicles. Program new keys, read engine/air bag codes, change climate program settings, live function tests of actuators, live data of sensors plus sooo many more features I have personally customized and gone through. Why go to the dealer and let them charge you almost $100 for personalizing certain features when you can do it yourself at anytime for a third of the price? The only thing it can not do is reflash ECU's but if you can not admit for $30 you get what your $500 device can mostly do then your crazy. I am glad I sold my Snap-On Solus just in time too because I knew all these knockoffs were going to take over for other vehicle makes as well and they are only going to get better in time...

Eman 08 lmao just the cable itself is "Chinese junk" the software is the same stuff as the dealership

Shwalker07 yuotub

Ducky1521 he's a mechanic, he doesn't want people to do things for themselves so we can go to him

Do you leave you plugged in? Or only plug in when you want a reading?

Does it read ABS codes?

Armour Shooter 💀😂

And the app owner updates the app regularly! Something a scanner tool might not do. Or you may have to pay a fee for latest and greatest info.

I saw a app/code system called FixD. FixD is around $59.00. 🚘

Honestly, I’d rather pay $109 total for this than $350-$500 on a OBD2 that does significant less. So yeah, it’s much more in depth because it’s the perfect OBD2. It’s nothing like that OB-S out there.😂

Can you clear abs codes?

Good to know ! Thanks for posting ! Its nice to hear a review from a real world user of a year of service.

OcRefrigeration,Hvac & Electrical. Lol. Well its good so far.

Has it reported any problems?

Can that work with Nissan sunny

glad to hear it, thanks for the support!

@@scottykilmer your a shill

AND THE LOUDEST

Advertisement includes being paid to do it. I seriously doubt he does that. I would almost bet money that he paid for the device without receiving sponsorship.

Seems to get updates so still relevant. It might not accsess 2020+ vehicles because anti hacking security yada yada.

@@heisenfeis Thank you.

Bill Dougan I was wondering about subscription. Fixd has subscriptions

I subbed today because I've been watching him since easily 40k as well. He doesn't ask for donations, and he's a good source for comedic info! He's easily earned it.

Watch some Milton friedman

he gets paid to do these scanner reviews

Cost any $?

dacasman torque is an awesome app huh. Best app I have ever heard of.

Shame they do engine data only...

Love torque

Got Torque Pro for my diesel truck. Love it

@@MrJObajobas that is what is so awesome about bluedriver it does everything. Abs airbag body transmission and engine.

Don’t rev a 4 cylinder, it’ll sound like a dirt bike... unless you’ve checked all the plugs, the intake is clean and you’ve made sure that you don’t rev it past 3500-4000 rpm when the engine is warm enough to Lower the idle.

Close enough

5lbs of chicken thighs at Walmart was $5 or so 2 years ago. $12 now.

Bought a 100 dollar Bosch Bluetooth scan tool and took forever to get it updated and to work properly. The BlueDriver works right out of the box. I don’t always agree with Scotty but he was 100% correct with this device.

That is cheap, it has not kept up with Inflation. It is actually cheaper today than 5 years ago.

No free autozone in Jamaica

thanks for the support!

you are very welcome

Bingo, it needs the ignition ON or right before the starter engages. Use a battery charger so your battery does not die.

I see what you did there. Points

I know cars had cats but this is ridiculous... too much?

jblyon2 torque pro is still overall a great stable platform with a lot of flexibility when it comes to customisable functions

Torque app is good

The Torque app is very useful and has a lot of great features especially for the price. However in terms of scan tool functions it’s very basic. Unlike the generic BT OBD2 units the Bluedriver can read/clear ABS, SRS, CCM, as well as factory diagnostic codes, not just generic codes. It’s not for everyone however it’s a great alternative to the very pricey high end scan tools.
