    Warning for those buying cheap OBD2 scanners - it ended up costing me thousands for a new ECU.

      How?

      • +5

        Cheap ones can brick the ECU if the pins are not properly connected.

        • Not sure what happened but i believe this may have happened.

    • Explain

      Curious too what could possibly go wrong.

      Also, if something was to happen to a car under warranty, it's the manufacturer's problem to sort it out. Any external connector should be protected in a way that nothing can happen to internal parts…

      • The scanner obviously arc connections across the cars terminal pins, why would that be the manufacturer problem when owner used a device not provided by the manufacturer to access the cars onboard computer.

        If I stuck a knife or paper clip in a GPO (power outlet) at home is it clipsal’s (the manufacturer) responsibility to pay for my medical expenses?

        • Because the manufacturer makes a standardised interface available to be used by anyone.

          Similar to any USB port on a laptop/computer. There each pin is protected to avoid damage from rogue USB devides, current is limited to 500mA, etc.

          No reason car manufacturers shouldn't do the same. If they don't, it's their problem, at least during the warranty period.

          • @team teri: Ok good point

          • @team teri: Every interface can be fked up, they might wire 12V to CAN bus for example.

          • @team teri: Then they shouldn't allow you to put petrol into a diesel car. But you can.

            • @freesteakknives: That comparison goes slightly astray, in that it assumes a fairly big user error, not a fault in something a user supplies.

              To stay with your analogy: this is more akin to buying cheap petrol from an outback servo that might not be up to spec (for example contaminated by water). In that case, with a car under warranty, it would be up to the manufacturer to find proof that the fuel was contaminated and caused the issue, in order to get out of their obligation to fix the engine. If that happens, you'd have a pretty good chance to get the servo to pay for the damage.

              Translating the same to this scenario: if the car manufacturer can prove that some rogue OBD2 device caused damage to the ECU, and assuming they had taken proper care in designing their circuits, you would have a case against the seller of said device. With Amazon marketplace sellers: good luck getting anything, no matter how valid the case.

              The odds of a) this device frying my ECU, and b) the manufacturer being able to prove that some device fried my ECU are low. I'd put them at well below 1 in a 1000. I would not pay an extra $100 for an expensive scanner to possibly avoid a 1 in a 1000 event that, if it happens, costs me a few thousand dollars. Very expensive insurance.

              • @team teri: This scanner is a toy and will give basic DTC's & live data. In relation to damaging and proof of PCM damage, many ppl will buy this to disgnose and older car out of warranty. So if it bricks, then you're on your own. Furthermore, cars that are under warranty will get their dealership to rectify and scan, diagnose issues that will most likely be covered. So no need a $10 junk scan tool

    • it ended up costing me thousands for a new ECU

      I don't think that it's a wise idea to buy cheap scanners so I'm happy to spend $100-200 for a good one, if I'll need one.

    • I call bs and or you did something like attempted coding or similar?

    Thanks OP, bought CR206 for $19.19.

    • It was $6.39 lol

      • And now it is $31.99. Don't yuck my yum.

  • How do these compare to the free blue tooth ones like nonda?

    • +1

      these are bigger.

  • was the CR200 worth it for $11?
    Bought it but may cancel

  • Eh you can get cheaper ELM327 ones off aliexpress, the interface is actually better with the apps too and you can do more with them.
