Complete waste of time imo. This statement makes me laugh, it's just displaying random data to make it look like you know what you're looking at. You don't need to see you're live air/fuel ratio and exhaust o2 content everywhere you drive...

Thanks - so thats a no from Luke4efc  - anyone else?

It's a no from me too...  What do you actually want to do with it? 

Forscan will be better for reading fault codes and checking live data as this will only pick up standard OBD streams (bit like the channel difference between Freeview and Sky!).

 

The algorithm to pre-empt faults does sound interesting, but I can't see how it does that in any useful way.  It may just be remembering sensor feedback over time and notify you if, for example, the lambda readings are consistently falling out of spec, before they get bad enough for the PCM to throw a fault code.  Can't see that it's overly useful though, most faults aren't that easily detectable and will just go without any warning.

No from me too. The difference between that and FORScan is like night and day. The only thing that it does better is to display some not very useful data in a fancy way to distract you when driving. I'm not sure if you can log your journey with this, you can with FORScan.

The pending fault thing is probably just accessing the Mode 6 data and FORScan can now do that to a greater or lesser extent depending on the model of car. 

Another no here, get Forscan it's free and an obd cable from those nice people at tunnelrat electronic, forscan is far more powerful and can read all the codes not just the generic ones.
