The other day the engine light lit up on my very old model Chevy. Usually that means a trip to the mechanic to hook up the car's diagnostic port to his machine to find out what the error code is. That means not having my car for hours and often a charge for time even if all that's needed is a reset. This time I decided to look into reading and interpreting the error code myself to find out if I needed to tow or drive my car immediately to the garage or just ignore the light for a while. The GEARWRENCH cost a little bit more than my budget but it had some extra features that might come in useful someday so I decided not to skimp. One important reason I purchased the GEARWRENCH brand device is because no subscription is required for updates. A subscription makes sense for a professional with frequent diagnostic needs but for occaisional, once or twice a year use, I think a subscription model benefits the company much more than the customer. With GEARWRENCH there's an upfrant cost for the device and updates are included. You are limited to pairing the device to one specific phone but I view that as a very minor inconvenence and only means a call to GEARWRENCH the next time I change phones. Annnoyances: Entering the VIN code. The GEARWRENCH tool doesn't store it even when it is supposed to. Maybe it's because of how old my Chevy is but everytime I use the device, it isn't able to read the VIN code and I must enter it manually. That would be OK, once, but this is everytime. The screen for the mobile phone app displays in landscape orientation. Once the app is started, it isn't immediately apparent how to suspend or exit the app, especially when I don't use it very often. Eventually I remember, or see, the faint line at the bottom of the screen that will rollup the app. Pairing the device through Bluetooth to the GEARWRENCH app was easy. I plugged the device into the diagnostic port under the steering wheel, checked for Bluetooth connections on my phone and the device was there and immediately paired. The instruction booklet is very short but that's because most of the content comes through the app. The question is how to find what you want among the bewildering array of letter acronyms and menus. There is a big button on the home screen to diagnose the car, and the help content can be useful but, for me, it was easiest to tell my AI assistant what the GEARWRENCH model was and my car model and year and ask it what to do. The AI was so helpful that I found the right test to run in a couple of minutes. The engine light was coming on because the exhaust system wasn't efficient. Some more consulting with the AI and I leared that the catalytic converter might have stopped working or there might be an exhaust leak. Using the GEARWRENCH device assured me that my car wasn't about to drop a transmission in the middle of the freeway and, while I needed to have my mechanic check the converter and the exhaust system, I could schedule it at a more convenient time then reacting to an unknown emergency. I saved the price of the device on my first use. A reader might point out that a national car parts chain will read the codes for you and tell you what's wrong. That's an option, and free, but I like the convenience of being able to do a quick diagnosis of my car whether I'm on the shoulder of a freeway or in my parking space at home.

Pros: This scanner has already paid for itself. I maintain several vehicles, and it gives me access to individual modules, detailed codes, live data and bidirectional testing—not just basic check-engine info. It has helped me narrow down problems before throwing parts at a vehicle or paying a shop for diagnosis. Cons: Initial setup takes a minute, and there is a learning curve, especially if you're not a pro mechanic. Some of the terminology could also be explained better. I've seen quite a few reviews mentioning connectivity issues, but that hasn't really been my experience. Once I got everything set up correctly, as long as I have a strong internet connection, connectivity has been reliable. Overall: Very happy I bought it. The information it provides has made diagnosing my vehicles much easier, and I've already saved enough money using it to justify the purchase. Five stars—I'd buy it again.

I always wanted a bidirectional scan tool like this but was looking for one that had lifetime updates, without any catches and could handle a wide variety of vehicles. When I heard that GearWrench was offering this model at such an affordable price, I knew this was the one. I owned GearWrench tools in the past and I was very satisfied with them so I was hopeful that it would be the case here. They did not disappoint. But let's talk about my experience in chronological order. Delivery was quick and on time. I installed the app on my Android phone (a 2025 Motorola Moto G Power) and attempted to connect the device to my 2021 Mazda6. It would not connect. I changed phones (Samsung A12) but that did not connect either. I reinstalled the app on the Motorola - nothing. I called customer service - nothing. I was considering returning it but decided to poke around a bit first. After a few minutes I got a prompt from the phone saying that I was to grant the app permission to access Bluetooth. I allowed it and voila - it connected! It has been smooth sailing thereafter. Works like a charm - for the most part. The first need I had of it was with my daughter's 2013 Mazda6. It came to me with a flashing airbag light. BT identified the problem as a passenger airbag module, but did not specify further. I attempted to clear the code to no avail. I attempted to reset the module, to no avail. At that point, I reached for my laptop, connected FORScan (a third party dedicated Ford/Mazda software) to the car and it was able to give me more details and was able to reset the module. I was a little disappointed that BT couldn't handle it, though. My next use of it came with my JDM Nissan Note X DIG-S. I had just done a transmission fluid and engine oil change and noticed that the Auto Stop/Start light in the instrument cluster was flashing and the feature was disabled. I reached for BT and it told me that the electric transmission fluid pump was experiencing low pressure of 0.5 MPa. That's supposed to be normal for the car at idle (according to the Nissan workshop manual) but the car and BT were saying otherwise. I wanted to reset the transmission module but I decided to leave it alone for now. It eventually cured itself. My latest use of it came a few days ago when a coworker's JDM Toyota Voxy had the dashboard light up with warning lights - typical for Toyota. I connected BT and it said that the vehicle had a number of issues including the ABS and the valve control system. I cleared the codes and all has been well since. Very strange, but BT saved the day. I haven't used all the features so far, but I believe it has the ability to put you on the right path if you ever encounter an issue, though it may not be able to solve it. I'm giving it 5 marks in spite of the issue with the airbag module, though. This is so because that feature may actually be a Mazda-proprietary feature that just was not available to BT as yet. I have done several updates since then so perhaps it is now possible. Pros: Updates are free for life Customer service agents available via phone Handles makes not even sold in the North America Cons: Bluetooth connection is slower than wired devices Unable to automatically detect any vehicle that I have connected it to (Mazda, Toyota, Nissan, BMW) It must be registered to only one phone at a time (customer service has to be contacted if moving to another) May not be able to reset all modules

do not recommend the GEARWRENCH scanner tool. It constantly has connection issues, and trying to connect it to a vehicle feels like pulling teeth. Every time you use it, it’s a gamble whether it’s actually going to work. Another major problem is the activation code. God forbid you lose or replace your phone and no longer have access to the activation information—the device can basically become useless. To make matters worse, customer service closes at 5 PM Monday through Friday, so if you have an issue after hours or on the weekend, good luck getting help. It makes an already frustrating product even worse when you can’t get ahold of anyone when you actually need assistance. When it works, it does what it’s supposed to do, but getting it to work consistently is a pain in the ass. A diagnostic scanner should save you time, not create more problems. Save yourself the frustration. Spend your money right the first time and buy a better scanner. I wouldn’t waste my time or money on this one again.

I got this only a few hours ago. I have some mechanical training and a few years of wrenching. I was able to fix some issues that have been plaguing one of my cars. This Bluetooth dongle with its bidirectional capabilities allowed vsc reset, testing and actuation of a number of system actions. I can read the values of complex sensors in real time. Quite possibly the most important tool I have now. There’s a latency lag of course. Not as bad as some reviews I have seen online make it out to be. There is a learning curve with these items and it takes some persistence and a bit of resourcefulness to get the desired action. The layout is fairly intuitive but if you haven’t dealt with bidirectional capabilities before, you may end up googling and YouTubing left and right. I certainly did a fair share of it. The fact this has all the capabilities built in with NO subscription is the best feature. Some say there’s a connection issue and reconnect fixes it, I had no such issue using it for about an hour and a half getting to know it and using it. Connect Bluetooth through your phones settings menu and the app connects when you open it. Super excited TPMS not only reads all aspects of the system but you can rewrite to the computer the id of each sensor. True bidirectional features. I have at least 10 dongles, Bl**d***er was an except for mode 6. Even tried another brand Th***di*g and you have to pay for each and every bidirectional capability and for annual access to use the dongle other than obd2 code reading. Some special features just aren’t available with every vehicle and the app will tell you. Everything built in and free forever in this one. You can update and download certain functions or all of them. Firmware seems to be either auto upgrade or not upgradable at least at the moment. Wish list: -I do think maybe a pro and novice mode or added features could be very helpful. Novice to include tutorials and more in-depth instruction and information on the use of each feature. -Add mode6 reading as well. -As is, you select the special feature you want to use then select your car. It would be nice to select or auto select your vehicle first then all features open to you. It’s very time consuming with the UI as is. Learning the capabilities I was in and out of each feature multiple times trying difference iterations and reach and every time you must either auto select or manually select your vehicle over and over and over again. Another device I have operates in a similar fashion to my request and is markedly easier and faster to use. -decrease latency more. When you’re reading a bunch of values at the same time it is slow to show the initial values let alone update. Just a few at a time it is faster. I have a number of readers that a much faster than this one. Again I’ve only had this a couple hours. I’ll update as I get more use out of it Good or bad

Very solid unit for the price. Initial setup is quick and simple - mine on an Android based phone. Normal Play Store app install and then a few demographic entries for registration and license key activation. First use then goes into vehicle specific data downloads. Expect 5-10 minutes as this unit has compatibility with many vehicles makes and models. Once initial config of the app is done and the unit is plugged into the vehicle OBD port the app connected quickly. Once connected to the unit the app gives you the option of doing vehicle specific diagnostics either automatically or manually. The auto detect function worked well for multiple vehicles - BMW, 2015 and 2024 Subarus. Speed of the diagnostic scan depends on the actual vehicle as each of mine varies but all were extremely fast when compared to my other scanners (hardware and software based). The initial scan auto detects VIN, make, model, etc. and then scans all of the vehicle's available modules. Once scanned you can view a large amount of module parameters and states. A few examples - for the 2015 Subaru it was stated on a different forum that the GW tools do not have CVT fluid temp, which is key to proper filling procedure. Well, I can confirm that it does w 1/10th degree resolution. While I was in there, I was able to read and clear all errors across many modules. While in the transmission module, the BT unit has a broad number of good monitors for many different states (e g., shows live state of each gear) and a nice feature is it gives the normal value ranges for the numeric monitors. Just to check, I went into a few other modules and was please to see the same broad range of monitors (for example, live state of brake light switch) which makes troubleshooting and ruling out certain components so much easier. Unlike other scanners, you don't have to setup a data display screen to see every value. You do have the option to monitor the value trends and then generate a report. For the BMW, it actually has BMW error codes vs P codes and a large number of diagnostics when compared to my other BMW specific scanner. The unique item I wanted to try was the FCA Autoauth function which allows you to bypass the firewall on newer FCA vehicles (e.g., Fiat, Chrysler, Ram, etc.). Tried the unit in my 2019 Ram 1500 - unit auto prompts to enter an Autoauth account - I was able to quickly login w my Autoauth account and it was able to get through the secure gateway to do full diag and actuation - this is a big bonus. Aside from diagnostics, the unit has a robust set of functions that you can perform (of course these are vehicle specific). As an example, with a button push or two I was easily able to place the emergency brake in maintenance mode on all my vehicles with this unit. All in all, a pretty decent unit for the money especially for multiple makes. Of course this does not do what it isn't designed for - so it is not a programmer and doesn't claim to be. So for those with dealer lever tools (like ISTA for BMWs) this won't give you module layouts, troubleshooting plans or maintenance plans - but what it advertises itself as it did an exceptional job across my 4 different vehicles.

Love the product. Does what is says. Picks up the vehicles automatically and clears the faults easily. Also like the 2 way communication. It is good value for money since there is no subscription once you have bought the item.

Great scanner. Very easy to use and yes I am a woman. Downloaded it on my iPad . It is very accurate. I love the compact size and the extra features. I used it to bleed my abs when it first arrived. Just last week my husband had an issue with his truck not going. Had no clue what it could be first thought was transmission. After plugging in the gear wrench within 10 minutes we knew it was a sensor in the gas pedal . Replaced the pedal and no more issues. Awesome gadget to have save lots of $$$
