this is fine for someone who just wants to check engine codes. I don’t like the idea that you must look up a code in a booklet that is no complete nor does it check anything else ie computer, sensors etc. It’s ok for the person that’s taking their car to a shop wants to get an idea of the problem. It’s not good for a mechanic who is fixing there on car or truck.

The product works as advertised on my two cars, a MB320 and a Mazda Prodege. However, its propably my fault that I was thinking that this devices, like moste similard devices on the market for a similar price, would show other miscelaneous information, such as engine RPM and temperature; etc. Well–it does not. The single line LCD should have been a give-away. This reason I did not give it 5 stars is because I am a little disaponted for the mentioned reason. But like I said, the product works as advertised.

The B & D AD925 was easy to use, and gave me the information I needed.

The check engine light had been on for over 4 years on my 1997 Ford Ranger. Nobody would help me. When I took it to emission “specialists”, I think they just turned it off and charged me over $200.00 for “fixing” it. Several times!. Well, the light would come back on within a day. Finally I bought the AD925 scanner from Amazon. It told me immediately what the trouble code was. It was a code specific to Ford products and didn’t show up in the book that cam with the scanner. I checked on the internet and found out what it meant. I changed the purge valve and solenoid (very easy). The light went off and stayed off. Now I can get my new tags.
The scanner came very quickly. Within a couple days. It was packaged very nicely and works perfectly. Obviously brand new. I give it my highest rating.
