Update: The deal has been extended for 3 more days. I don't know why, but changing/updating the expiry date. If you know please let me know also. Thank you.

Was searching for an OBD2 monitor and came across this. Checked in Amazon Australia (https://www.amazon.com.au/nonda-ZUHMBKBTV-Vehicle-Monitor-Wi…) and was costing around $59.99. Checked in nonda website and came across this deal.

So ordered 2 to Australia (Shipping fees 8 AUD each).

People who already used/using this or anyone experienced in this space, please let me know if this is good or bad for your vehicle and how we can use this.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Q. Why are you giving away this device for free?
A. US Cars are on average 11.8 years old1, and the fatality rate is four times higher in those old vehicles. As the leading connected car company in the US, nonda is committed to protecting people's journey behind the wheel through innovative products and technology. To deliver our social commitment and growing our business at the same time, we've decided to give away 1,000,000 FREE nonda Smart Vehicle Health Monitors to boost American Drivers' safety.
Q. Would the Smart Vehicle Health Monitor drain my vehicle battery?
A. All Vehicles' OBD II ports have constant power supply even if the engine is turned off. No matter what OBD II adapter you are using, it'll drain your vehicle battery eventually if you don't drive for a long time;
Our New Smart Vehicle Health Monitor Lite is the smallest one in the market and only requires 5-8mA of power to run. It is 100% safe to leave it plugged in if you drive your car frequently. However, we highly recommend that you unplug this device if you won't drive your vehicle for a long time, just like you'll unplug all appliances when you leave home for long vacations.
Q. Do I need to pay shipping for the free device?
A. Yes you do. We use USPS first-class package shipping for US orders and standard postage package mail for international ones. You only need to pay the same amount of what our shipping provider charges us.
Q. Is there any hidden fees in using the device?
A. No, there isn’t. After you receive the free smart vehicle health monitor, you can download our free ZUS Smart Driving Assistant App and start to use it simply by pairing the device with the app. All the functions mentioned above are 100% free with no catch.
Q. Will you collect my vehicle data, and what will you do about it?
A. We'd only collect your engine and trip data with your consent. All data collected will be solely used to enhance your driving safety and experience without any privacy breaching. nonda is a GDPA and CCPA compliant entity.

      OBD - On Board Diagnostics - stick it in ur obd port in the car and and pair it with the ios/android app .. then it will give you info about your car if there are any lights blinking on your dashboard ..

        It generally depends on what info your car monitors. On my old Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 8, one of the OBD dongles I used was able to measure the boost pressure produced by the turbo. With the right app, I was able to pair my phone with the dongle and use it as a boost gauge and shift light for track days.

        • iamprabhath on 26/02/2020 - 15:32

          Nice!! I think i read somewhere that this also measures the turbo and they had a FAQ section regarding this ..

    The end game here must be data, it's the only way they seem like they'll make money…

    With the app they'll know where you go, when you go there, how you drive, what you drove etc etc.

    • Wilburre on 26/02/2020 - 15:10

      They'd only know where you go if you give the app access to gps, but who knows if the app will work if you deny it permissions.

      • Drogo on 27/02/2020 - 15:46

        If you deny gps access it probably just falls back to phone signal position, which is accurate enough

    • db87 on 27/02/2020 - 05:14

      I've been thinking the same. Other than laziness, does this device do anything different to the $3-4 ones? I know you need ones with the ELM chip but that's where my knowledge runs out.

      I have the torque pro app (from Google rewards credit!) and used to use a wired usb obd2 adapter but have passively been looking for a Bluetooth version for a while, branded or unbranded. So, I'm wondering if this ticks the boxes myself. I've never chanced it on the cheap no name jobbies in fear of them being duds.

  • carmar on 26/02/2020 - 15:04

    So. Tempted.
    But then I realise that my car is a Commodore VF MY15 SV6 and I remember that this particular vehicle is v-e-r-y particular about which OBD2 devices work in it. And of course the website doesn't even know about my car.

    Because it has app analytics built-in for "research purposes", unlike the torque app.. remember, if a product is free then you are the product.

    • SamyKn on 26/02/2020 - 15:09

      Still doesn't matter as long as it read and doesn't modify the data.
      I can be happy with a Foxwell NT624 or 650 for 300$ , or this one for 7$ just to read data from my car

      • dsp26 on 26/02/2020 - 15:16

        Oh I agree, i actually think as per their Q&A, they are using vehicle data to answer some funded research questions if they are giving away 1,000,000 units that had a value of usd$59 each. It wont have your PII, but it will have your vin.. and that can be cross-referenced to the car registration database.

        Now.. if only the data could be release where correlations of sensor data could predict and reveal a factory defect so dealers cant avoid recall/warranty/TSB stuff

      Yep..for android anyway, (and maybe the mac equivalent) anyone can install android studio and load an apk in there and see the log for when it is sending data and what data to analytics apps such as google (firebase), facebook, mixpanel etc.

      They can then use you as an audience pool for example for dealers to target you with car ads etc… Or they will actually use it for research and correlate your ecu vin to other info like registration etc.

    Personally, I would recommend that if you know how to use one, you buy a simple one off ebay for a similar cost to the postage here and be done with it. There is very little for you to gain from allowing a US company to harvest your data, potentially on selling it to insurance companies or law enforcement.

    I've had a few over the past 15 years and have only needed them about 4 times collectively to figure out issues in an older car.

    • SamyKn on 26/02/2020 - 15:40

      Apple, microsoft and google (US companies as you highlighted) have collected enough info even from things you can't imagine and harvesting for years (don't tell me you don't use any of them pls :D) . Not that I disagree with you but unless Foxwell NT624 pro comes down to 50$ , i'd be happy if someone gives me free and captures my VIN number.

      Secondly considering they comply with GDPR , they are not allowed to pass your data to any 3rd part without authorization (insurance companies you highlighted)

      If you say how about unauthorized , then we go back to google/apple/microsoft issue.

      • TRAVELO on 26/02/2020 - 17:48

      • sheepdog on 27/02/2020 - 08:37

        Whilst true I do give large amounts of data to Google but that is a value proposition. I get significant advantages to sharing my data with them - maps, email, voice assist etc. I would atleast trust security there a bit more as well. From these guys, i'd get some diagnostics on engine codes that can be had without sharing anything with a $10 reader.

        Secondly, it is likely you will be giving consent via the T&Cs of the app wwhen you sign up. The fact they are free is what makes it so blatantly obvious.

        • SamyKn on 27/02/2020 - 08:50

          I think we are from two different camps mate which both maybe true to some extent :)

          Btw , if you ever see any good product(Foxwell NT624 or 650) under 100$ on sale pls ping me …:D

          • sheepdog on 27/02/2020 - 09:27

            @SamyKn: Not sure why you think these devices will be anywhere near as good as those products? Half the reason those products are pricey is that they have an inbuilt screen and are trade quality. This doesn't seem anything like that - it looks like a decent interface on top of a crappy ebay device. You won't get anything similar with this device.

      It does say it "requires 5-8mA of power to run. It is 100% safe to leave it plugged in if you drive your car frequently." I'll be unplugging mine as the car is driven only 2-3 times per week.

      The drain on this is so minute you won't even notice. I have a generic bluetooth OBD adaptor as well as use a Scanguage II and have never once had an issue with battery drain and my car is sometimes only driven once every few weeks.

      Only issue you may have is if your battery was on its way out anyway, but then even running the interior light for too long will flatten the battery..
