Simple. Works. Peace of Mind. Empowering.

Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2017

I like it. Have a 2009 MINI that I love but given it has almost 100k miles and quirky nature of the car that yellow engine light appears quite a bit. I have done two tests with a mechanic versus my FIXD diagnosis and am happy to say my mechanics were not dishonest per se but they did exaggerate the work that needed to be done--in one case, no work NEEDED to be done (but could have been legitimately done) and I just reset the light with FIXD and will ave up for the repair. Keep in mind, this only works for engine light related warnings--NOT any other warning. Would love to see FIXD expand to other diagnostics. Easy to plug in but my port was in a reasonably easy place to access which I am guessing is not always the case. If the port is hard to reach, could certainly take a bit of effort to insert but that is more about the car and less about FIXD.The app synced perfectly--I have an iPhone SE. FIXD takes the fear out of that yellow and ominous engine light. Works. Saves money. Piece of mind. Empowering.

Awesome product, and super easy to use

Awesome product, and super easy to use. I had a harder time trying to find where to plug it in than actually using it.

Had check engine light on for a few months and forgot to get my body shop to turn it off the last time it was in there getting oil changed. Anyway instead of having to pay $40 (each time) for a diagnostic read from my mechanic, I decided to spend an extra $20 and empower myself with the ability to do that whenever I need/want to. Within 5 minutes of installing it I had cleared the check engine light. Which thanks to this app/device I realized that I had an emission sensor out, so I cleared it out and I'm good to go!!

This is a great product and there are so many helpful features and things that u can tell they have put a lot of time into making sure things run smooth on the app.

It's super easy to use and I honestly feel like anyone who has a car should consider purchasing one. Great Christmas present idea for friends and family!!

Works as advertised -finally!

Received it on time. Installation simple, after I removed it to get the code number required later. Might think about telling future customers to write down the code number BEFORE installing it. Mine is installed in a new Toyota Prius C, with slightly over three thousand miles, so quite expectedly I have no codes, so unable to give it an honest rating at this time. Quick as a code shows I'll let you know, accurate or not. I've also ordered a Hanes book for codes, another twenty + bucks. FINALLY, After slightly over 4,800 miles I began getting “Maintenance Required Soon” warning on start-up, but no codes. Now, nearing 5,000 miles I get FIXD on iPhone “First Required Maintenance Soon”, or words to that effect, which, at 5000 miles, will be the manufacturer’s first recommended servicing. This visit to service will entail oil change, and tire rotation. If FIXD advises of something as simple as this, i’m confident it will take care of urgent matters as well. I highly recommend this money saving device!

Easy to setup and use with great functionality!

Fantastic product so far! The setup was VERY simple. Took me only a couple of minutes using an iPhone 6s. (Yes, you need to know how to use the phone/app store at a reasonable, 2017 level). The app interface is sleek and easy to use. I only have one FIXD device, but it appears that it would be easy to add additional cars on my same account. I browsed through some of the maintenance and product cost estimates on different services, and it looks like it will be very helpful and informative when I am in need of service, especially for someone who knows little about cars! I am not always on top of my car maintenance schedule and the FIXD timeline feature will keep me up to date and reminded! Excited about having an extra tool in my pocket for keeping up with my car!

Work's Great and Saved Money

Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2017

This new version hardware and software works great. Had a CHECK ENGINE light come on in my Wife's 2007 Nissan Versa. Car was running fine was able to pull the code and determined it was a stuck throttle position sensor. Once the car was turned of and back on there was not a problem. After buying this sensor and setting up the software it paired up with my smartphone with Bluetooth active. After checking out the code determined it was cause by some dirt on one or both the throttle position sensor and/or the pdeal sensor. The figures did not coincide so the computer issued this error and caused downgraded engine acceleration. After pulling code was able to clean the position sensors and clear the code. This device saved money going to the dealer. They want twice what I paid to even pull the codes. Also, not sure how honest this dealer is. They probably would say that something needed to be replaced. Generally the try and charge you an arm & a leg for simple stuff.

I like the product, but since I don’t have any current problems with my car, I not sure if it works. I brought the product as a precaution because my car is 12 years old. I will say that it was easy to setup and I love your customer service. I had 1 question and within a matter of minutes you responded. Thanks for the great customer service!

Overadvertised and Under-delivers

Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2017

Basically unusable. Bluetooth connectivity is spotty at best usually refusing to connect. When it does connect app usefulness is minimal, told me a check engine light was due to an O2 sensor. Except, the Check Engine light was not on. Also, it failed to report the ABS error light when it did come on. Furthermore, an OBD Bluetooth connection can provide a LOT more information than the app is capable of rendering. I used Dash Commander (somebody elses app) to tap into the connector when it was working and everything from coolant temperature to gas statistics were read by another app. So this connector is basically a generic connector branded by FIXd and limited by the FIXd app to the bare minimum of information. Top it all off it appears the connector is CHEAP and unreliable.

Great little tool, if it doesn't work make sure you try this one thing!

Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2017

Very easy to set up, didn't need to pair or anything the app just connected to it. First scan found a bad O2 sensor that I fixed for $30. Probably saved me hundreds.

HEADS UP: This didn't work on 1 of my vehicles, contacted support and they got back to me quickly. Turns out I had a blown fuse in my second vehicle. There's a blue light that flashes inside the sensor when you plug it in. If it DOES NOT FLASH that means your OBD-II port doesn't have power. For my vehicle the cigarette lighter and OBD-II port share a circuit, and since I never use my cigarette lighter I never bothered to fix it. Swapping the fuse fixed my vehicle and the sensor worked normally after that.

Also I was surprised to see that the app tracks tire wear/can show you tire tread health. I must be doing too many burn outs ;) They really didn't advertise that feature, guess it's new.

I'd say 10/10, nifty little tool and I'm looking forward to seeing what they add to it. Plan on picking a few up for holiday gifts.

I liked it but returned it because I see no point in having a device connected only to wait for a check engine light to come on. My light does not come on and when it does I can go to a local Auto Zone and get the codes from them or I can rebuy this product when and if the light turns on.
As far as maintenance reminders while a good thing I am good at keeping up with oil changes, fluids etc. Only good for people who have a vehicle with a constant check engine light on IMO.

First resolve of check engine light pays for product

Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2018

Verified Purchase

Plugged in. Looked up code on Google. Gave reasons and items that might need checking and where shops immediately spend your money and may not be the problem. Immediately diagnosed issue of lean fuel mixture. I had noticed a clacking in valves temporarily then check engine light came on then clacking cleared, just after getting fuel at a station I suspected had a very low tank. After reading up on issues, I cleared message from dash. Been running truck since. No light and running smooth. It suggested water or trash passed through fuel line and caused the temporary symptom and set light off. Will monitor but this could have cost quite a bit if the shop started stabbing at the symptoms by replacing things trial and error. Very good product.
