Fixd had not worked on any of my vehicles. And the way they charge you before you even get your device for their "premium" pacxage. Smh I had to get my money
I owned my FIXD device about a year before using it for the first time. Setting up the app was pretty straight forward but, it turned out that these FIXD units are pretty limited as to what it can actually do. I used it for the first time to try to find out why my Airbag Warning Light came on and stayed on. I found out by contacting FIXD customer service that these FIXD units will NOT work if you're trying to find the causes of problems other than the common Check-Engine-Light. If you're Airbag Light comes on, you're out of luck. Fortunately for me, I have a friend that owns an auto repair shop. He has one of those multi-thousand dollar OBD scanner. Also fortunately for me, we just traded work. I'm an auto upholsterer and he's a mechanic.
I have the same issue and the FIXD didn't show up. I don't have an auto mechanic friend 😢. There was a recall on some Nissan vehicles but not mine 😢😮. The Dealership cost $150 just to see what the cause is DFW, TX 10/20/24

Great video. I rather spend more money to have a top end code reader. Yes it will cost more up front. But, buying the reader and two years of the premium service it comes out the same for top model. Also, with top models you can do more with your vehicle. Just a thought.
Thank you, you answered my questions and I successfully cancelled the "premium" $99 a year subscription that I would NOT have needed. I have an excellent mechanic for the Jags for years, just need to know- (if for example) - was safe to drive to the shop or have the AAA flatbed transport to the shop.
Premium features not worth it. I would only be interested in the emissions precheck. Not going to pay $72 per year for that. There are better OBD scanners for much less money that can read the status of all the emissions monitors. Don't waste your money on this.
The premium features are optional. You can still use the OBD features. That’s what is great about the free market. There are options and some people may like another option. Cool.

@@decondeghet I just road tripped across the country and my Maint light came on blinking. Scanned it with fixd and no errors. So I looked up the light and it was telling me it was time for an oil change. I wouldn't have known this without it, so far well spent.
I bought one and it was helpful--sort of. It told me the battery on my van was running at 11 which was getting low. Bad alternator but FIXD didn't diagnose that.

Why it didn't catch something so obviously wrong? Who knows?
It really depends on what your vehicle can detect. This is a OBDII reader, it can clear a checked engine light and give you the readout of what codes your vehicle is giving, if you van can't detect the issue then it won't throw a code.
. *I purchased one not knowing they want you to create an account; I don't want to create an account, and as it's Bluetooth, why should one have to, unless they are tracking my data.* *I'll just stick with my wired one and keep my privacy.*
They are tracking your data. Whenever it works (often it doesn't work at all, I keep trying to connect with frustration ), they Email me the info about the codes it threw .
I had used fixed to bought some used cars and I glad I had premium service (pre emissions check). Some cars owner unplugged their battery terminals to reset errors codes. At this point if you use fixed to check the car "fixed " won't find any problems. But with premium pre emissions check will failed for oxygen sensor, EVAP , and some other sensors because computer had been reset.
One of the important questions that I wish someone would have asked is how many vehicles can you use with the same sensor? If it's asking you to name car #1 Which means you are connecting it with your app To use it for that car, can you take the sensor and put it in car #2 And do diagnostic tests within the same app
it doesnt work on any car i tested it on. 2006 lexus is250, citroen berlingo, hyundai getz. non worked, didnt even connect to the sensor, only found the connection
Not all.of us are willing to trade the high end of five digits of money for a quick loss by depreciation for something to get one from point a to pint b.
If your vehicle continues to have the issue it will continue to trip a code. Being able to reset the light is nice if you are trying to determine if there is a false error reading, but the OBD II system is meant to alert you on a potential problem, so take note of the code.
I’m in the same boat as that person. I purchased one of these devices but couldn’t use it unless I subscribed to a payment plan. Can’t remember the monthly amount but it’s roughly $40 a yr.
What is weird is you don't have to do the subscription plan. there is a small X that appears a few minutes after you initially log in where it has the premium plans. Every time I have used it I haven't had to pay and I've tried creating a new profile on a new device and was able to bypass the subscription all together.
Thank you for this video it was very introduced you explain every question I've been having since I got it. Now I can start using it again cuz I haven't been interested in the premium. But for some reason I wasn't able to use it my internet service is very strong. I'll try it again
Does it read the mileage (to discover if a car's odometer reading is tampered or not) too? For example, you are buying a car and you want to check if everything is legit and good with the car. TY
I had use it once in an old car that I no longer own, just tried to use it in a different car, wants to charge me 34 a month, can't move forward unless I give my CC information
you can scan at any time. there are some codes that will linger in the system. it could be a sign of a larger problem.. I love this because when i go to my trusted mechanic i have at least an idea of what the issue may be.
I just ordered this the other day, and just wondered, can you use it on multiple vehicles? While I'll be using it on my vehicle, I want to be able to scan my moms, as well as other family members cars. The Fixd site says I should purchase other scanners for more than one vehicle, but that just doesn't make any sense...
All right my phone didn't put down what is it I said I got one a few months ago and it will not connect to the sensor my car is down I bought it for a reason and it's not doing me no good I got to wait until I get the money to take it to the shop to pay a hundred and something dollars to have it put on the computer to find out what's wrong with it because fix it is not capable of telling me anything or even connecting to the little sensor so it can whatever the problem is so disregard my last complaint cuz my phone did not print it out correctly you need to send me something that works
My concern is my privacy, no one is bringing it up! I just got two and won’t be using them for a while. I’d like to know way more than is being told. Who’s the maker? What country are they made? What is collected through this app? Other videos have concern about plugging even your phone into the usb ports. Vehicle data dumps to unknown places. Vehicle hack and takeovers.

What does "clear code" actually do? Does it just turn off the warning light? Will the light just come back on again?
