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.

    Where do you find this OBD II port of your vehicle? How do I know I can make use of this?

    Automatic Car Finder
    Never worry about finding your car in a parking lot anymore. Simply open the ZUS® Smart Driving Assistant App to find your car with the map or compass.

    In other words, they tra k where you are going and sell that data and numerous other amounts of data to 3rd parties.

    Remember if the product doesn't cost you money, it will cost you your privacy.

    Heads Up - Plenty of complaints against their app on respective App/Play stores that the system doesn't work.

  • neonlight on 26/02/2020 - 16:38

    I suppose you can use this to double check if your mechanic has their job???

    If there are issues not fixed and they charge you for it you got evidence right there

    • Pantagonist on 26/02/2020 - 18:05
      +1

      Maybe if you plugged it in, pulled a code, then went to your mechanic and said "I have a P0xxx code in my ECU and I would like you to repair it."

      If you just took your car in for a service unrelated to the code and found that a code was still there afterwards then you wouldn't be able to do much. Most mechanics won't read codes unless they're trying to diagnose a specific issue. It's not generally part of the regular service regime.

      Plenty of codes won't cause the check engine light to come on. Not all codes set by the ECU are indicative of what the actual problem is. For example, an emissions system leak code could be anything from a cracked hose to a leaking intake manifold gasket. The former will cost a lot less than the latter to fix.

      These products are good if you actually know what to do with the extracted data. For your average person who doesn't know much about cars, the only use I can see for them is reading codes when you're engine light is on so you can tell your mechanic and be better informed. Chances are if you don't have a code that throws a CEL/MIL you're just going to find errors you don't understand (that aren't affecting how the car is running) and worrying yourself for no reason.

  • MrGareth on 26/02/2020 - 16:42

    I'm guessing this works with Android only? I thought only wifi compatible OBD2 devices work with iPhones (and I'm guessing this is Bluetooth only)

    • b3au on 26/02/2020 - 17:39

      No, there are compatible iOS Bluetooth OBD2 dongles - it's mainly the cheaper generic dongles that don't do BT support on iOS.

            +1

            @Borg: by the time you have installed the app, all the permissions you have accepted have given the app the access to scrap all your data off your phone and send it offshore. App's like this should be classed as malware. See ya later privacy.

            • Borg on 26/02/2020 - 21:34

              @frazel: It doesnt suck all your data as it is installing. If all worried, one does not have to remain online during final part of install……I should have noted this in my original comment.

              • frazel on 27/02/2020 - 09:07

                @Borg: @borg I said say once it's installed. However, depending on the install process it can easily be done on the fly, alternatively you can ask the user to login with the app which forces them to be online.

            • Indi24 on 26/02/2020 - 22:10

              @frazel: And it drains your car battery too…just reading reviews after impulse buy..

          • particle on 26/02/2020 - 21:23

            @Borg: Can anyone confirm if this works for this app? Some companies cause their apps to not work when their unneeded permissions are blocked.

            Eg one of Xiaomi's apps used to work fine when i blocked its unnecessary permissions, but then Xiaomi changed their app to check for the blocks and exit on startup if it's partially blocked.

    Guys, just don't believe the compatibility info shown in the site. It is for US Cars, not the Australian one. US made it mandatory to have OBD II in cars made after 1998, however in AU some cars of 2010 do not have OBD II. The site showed my car as compatible but it is not. I have already tried the expensive OBD II scanner but it did not work.Just a head up.

      They claim to be offering 1 million free units.

      The confirmation page after you order the unit states the number of units that have been claimed, and I recall it was something like 59000 claimed, when I ordered.

      Based on the number of clicks on this deal, about 11000 out of the 59000 are Aussie orders (presuming every click was one order and at the time of posting this comment). :)

    • sheepdog on 27/02/2020 - 13:33

      The issue isn't so much the ordering but the app you need to download to actually use the device, which pretty much asks for global permissions over your phone and records your driving habits + locations (at the minimum) to give you "safe driving" feedback.

  • pegasusx on 26/02/2020 - 23:13

    For everyone who wants to buy this, it's just an interface for your car and your phone/tablet/computer. With free software. You can only get general "generic" codes and metrics such a as battery voltage / engine compression/ MAF readings / speed / oxygen sensor readings /blah..all the stuff that emissions regulators need etc. Great fun if you're into passively reading your car's data.

    If your intent is to find specific faults or make changes to features then your probably only going to find generic codes and no access to features. Most manufacturers have propietry set of codes in seperate ECUs so you will need the database from them. I.e. that's why you pay the big bucks for scan tools that have manufacturers codes. If your car is a French car / VW-Audi Porsche then majority of the codes you wont have access to.

  • Junk Sifter on 26/02/2020 - 23:33

    The app functions with a lot of other products sold by the same company, hence all the permissions. Apparently they can be turned off without losing the core functionality of the OBD2 scanner according to this review of the non-Lite model: https://the-gadgeteer.com/2018/05/06/nonda-zus-obd-ii-smart-….

    If you're paranoid, this Lite model is supposed to work with other apps that support ELM327 anyway. https://nonda.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360036037531--In…

    Feels bad to say but it's a fake sale, bought 3 of these a month ago. However they work great considering it's free and you only pay for shipping. Overall it's worth it. Just make sure you download the ELM327 dedicated app instead of their main ZUS app, the dedicated app removes the clutter from their main one.

      Thanks for headsup

      Which app is the dedicated one?
      There's a bunch that came up when searching for ELM327

        Not OP, but it is likely the ZUS ELM327 app which is made my No NDA Inc

    Generic Chinese ELM327 clone based on the reviews and product images here. Requested a cancellation after reading those.

    There seems to be a lot of people stressing about being tracked. If you unplug the device after checking your engine then voila! No more tracking!

      I think it's more concern about being tracked via your mobile than your actual car being tracked.

        That's why I won't be using their app.

      Whether online or offline, if device is capable to connect internet then you are always "tracked".

        Rubbish. The obdii isn't internet connected, it Bluetooth connects to your phone. The vendor doesn't have your phone number, and if you are using a different reader app there is no connection to you. You've been watching too many movies.
