What is weird is you don't have to do the subscription plan. there is a small X that appears a few minutes after you initially log in where it has the premium plans. Every time I have used it I haven't had to pay and I've tried creating a new profile on a new device and was able to bypass the subscription all together.

What does "clear code" actually do? Does it just turn off the warning light? Will the light just come back on again?

@DiaryofaFamily

10 ай бұрын

If your vehicle continues to have the issue it will continue to trip a code. Being able to reset the light is nice if you are trying to determine if there is a false error reading, but the OBD II system is meant to alert you on a potential problem, so take note of the code.

Since I have the FIXD gadget I have 4 cars. If I pay for the premium for one car, do I have to pay premium again for the other cars I own ?

Do you leave FIXD unit plugged into Port? Or, unplug after every use?

For some reason my fixd isnt connecting now

I bought one and it was helpful--sort of. It told me the battery on my van was running at 11 which was getting low. Bad alternator but FIXD didn't diagnose that. I took the FIXD to run it on a car I was thinking of buying but it didn't catch anything even though the car heater wouldn't heat up the interior, and the engine was getting hot. Why it didn't catch something so obviously wrong? Who knows?

@DiaryofaFamily

It really depends on what your vehicle can detect. This is a OBDII reader, it can clear a checked engine light and give you the readout of what codes your vehicle is giving, if you van can't detect the issue then it won't throw a code.

One of the important questions that I wish someone would have asked is how many vehicles can you use with the same sensor? If it's asking you to name car #1 Which means you are connecting it with your app To use it for that car, can you take the sensor and put it in car #2 And do diagnostic tests within the same app
