Review 1: Good bang for your buck
Small compact device packed with lots of features. Easy to carry or just keep in your car if you ever need a code reader. This AP200 is very nice not having to carry a large code reader when traveling. Great having an app that can perform diagnostics and programming functions. Live data streaming. Readiness tests. Key programming. Reset check engine lights. O2 sensor test. Evap test. Vehicle information. And much more. If you need to read car specific codes or perform mfg specific operations you will need to purchase that mfg and download it to your phone. You get 1 mfg free and it’s $21.99 for each additional. May sound like a lot but unit is less expensive then the others that include some mfg information. If you only work on 1 make then your golden. In my case I charge my customer $25 to perform specific functions so i get to keep the download for future use and my customer is happy cause it’s less expensive than the dealership. Great if you’re a home mechanic and only work on your personal car. The ability for it to expand is the best part. Only part for what you need.
