One thing missing is the cable that goes from the diagnostic plug to the USB port of a lap top. But this is too cheap to be true. There is some catch someplace. It doesn't say what operating system is it compatible with. It also says it is compatible with Jeep OBDI. When you find one of those, let me know.

1st night worked well, 4 different programs

Unfortunately my laptop and my daughters glass of OJ met the next morning. Laptop has been DOA since. So did not test drive it all. I will update if I ever get a new laptop

Remove the battery and flush with distilled water. Make sure it is completely dry and try booting it up. If it easy to remove hard drive and memory do so and clean them separately. The orange juice has made some new circuit connections. Removing those circuit connections may allow your laptop to function normally.

ok, finally had a chance to go out and mess with it. The cable itself works flawlessly. The software however was the less then preferred. I ended up downloading a number of other programs. Most the freeware rather lame. Going to end up buying software (2007obd)

In closing the hardware was worth it. Expect to pay extra for better software
