2004 Chevy Tahoe
Just received reader an hour ago; saved me a $10 gas bill for a trip into town to Auto Zone or another parts store where they will run a test and print it out for free using a similar reader. So...reader has already half way paid for itself. Plus, if ever in a situation where you don't want to run the car anywhere because you don't know why your light went off, this $20 gizmo is not only a convenience,but could save you damaging your car by trying to limp it into the parts store or mechanic.
Pros:
-Unit very well backlighted as soon as you plug it in. This came in very handy as it was dark out and interior car lights would not be enough to read a typical LCD unlit display while standing outside your vehicle. Never would have thought about this feature unless I had needed it, so, make a note when shopping around that this unit and this company took the time to include this feature in one of their basic models, and I, now, personlaly recomend having a backlit unit.
-I knew I had two codes due to the last time I went to the parts store, but lost the list. The reader came up with the two codes without problems.
Cons:
- The wire is long enough to hold the unit and stand up outside the vehicle and read. With only about a 2.5 Foot cable, the reader can not be more than 3 feet from wherever your computer output is at. The unit is very well backlighted, but can not be read from an angle. It is not long enough to have it plugged in and read while using the Rear Passenger Door Window as a writing surface. Because this particular device relies on vehicle power instead of an internal battery, it must be plugged in while you are taking readings, and of course because of this, it is not equiped with a HOLD feature so you must be at your car to record codes. I wanted a cheap unit, and knew before I bought it that this would be the case, but, especially if I had a shorter car instead of my SUV, and if my computer plug in were further away, it would be a real pain. With the location of my computer plug on my vehicle, combined with an SUV height of the plug at around 3 feet from the ground, I was only slightly frustrated by the cable length of the reader, which required me to do a lot of back and forth manipulation for only 2 code reads.
-Were it not for the cabel length issue, I would rate this unit a solid 5. That being said, I bought this unit as my first OBDII reader, knowing that in the future this one would become a reliable backup. Since I am already whining, might as well state that this is a very simple reader with no frills or sophisticated options, so, as my car gets older and my hands get dirtier, I will be purchasing another reader with more options, but, for my aging vehicles first round of repairs, this should do just fine.

Autel MS300 Cheap and works great!
Autel MS300 Cheap and works great!
I have been having problems with my car and my brothers car as well. We always wanted a code reader but they were a little pricey. I was so excited when I found this one for $20! Despite a few bad reviews, I decided to take a chance. I am happy to say that for the price, it does everything I need it to do and I have experienced no problems with it at all. I am now fixing everything on my car that I can and I don't have to worry if a mechanic is trying to rip me off. I am extremely satisfied with this product and I couldn't be happier!

I wasn't expecting much because this unit didn't cost much. I'm pleasantly suprised the Autel does what it's supposed too. Great tool for resetting your warning lights and seeing what they mean.
Autel MaxiScan MS300 AWESOME!!
Wow I can't believe I paid $60-80 in the past for something I can do! Crazy! Funny thing is the ex is a mechanic and it was like pulling teeth to get him to help out with turning off check engine light when we were together. Now I have my own tool and out with that tool. HA!

Autel MS300 Great little scanner.
Autel MS300 Great little scanner.
I had a check engine light on in my Ford Fusion so I bought this scanner to see what was wrong. I bought it based on the reviews as well as the price and I must say that I am delighted. The device plugged into my car and quickly came up with the codes. It was what I had suspected but how can you really know what's wrong in today's modern cars without spending a ton of money replacing components? Now I know. It may still need a mechanic visit but now I can forgo the back-and-forth and rest assured that the guy isn't ripping me off.
Great for the money!
Bought this for a friend of mine who needed it for his car. Saved him about $50 from not having to go get it diagnosed from a mechanic. Definitely recommend it for those CEL's.

Autel MS300 Simple, does exactly what I needed.
After getting hosed at the Mechanic for 80 bucks, and having to go to the auto parts store each time my CEL went on, I found this product. It's simple, the instructions are easy to read, and it does exactly what i need it to. The manual has a great reference chart for each code, and I can just take the code and plug it into google and go from there.

For those of you that just want to grab the code and go this is the tool for you. With the advent of the internet you can google search your vehicle make, model and trouble code and you will basically be served with the results on a silver platter. I had no need for the CD included, which I've read doesn't help much at all. The manual is pretty clear as to how to hook up the reader and sorting through the codes. Love this lil gadget. It'll make me the go to person for anybody with a CEL light and I'll look pro...after I do a quick google search.

Autel MaxiScan MS300 Cheap and Functional.
I was amazed and how cheap and functional this item was and to think I used to have the local shop run diagnostics for $50 a pop. This may not tell you everything, but it will give you the codes your cars computer is sending to turn on your check engine light. It will even allow you to clear the codes or store them. Finally, this item comes with both a manual for use and code interpretations in the manual, but also codes on CD. I feel my money was well spent and my 2 cars thank the maker.

Autel MaxiScan MS300 Great Item For Smog and Trade In!!
Autel MaxiScan MS300 Great Item For Smog and Trade In!!
I thought I was just going to use this so my TrailBlazer could pass smog, but I was shopping around for a new car thinking that I wouldn't get a good price for my trade in because the check engine light was on....HA HA! Nope, With a few quick presses of the buttons (less than 30 seconds)"BOOM BOOM-OUT GO THE LIGHTS!!" they didn't even know about it!! So I ended up getting top dollar value for my trade, usually the dealer sticks you for something here or there but for once I stuck them!!
Talk about Easy to use, This thing is CAKE!! I had NO IDEA I could pick up a scan tool for less than $20 that would turn off the pesky "Check Engine" light....MOO HAA HAA, the possibilities are endless! Im thinking about floating around smog stations with a sign that says "Will Turn Off Check Engine Light for $20" Just to get even for all the times I had to pay $300 - $1800 for repairs before I could get a vehicle smogged.... But really folks, if your thinking about getting this, DONT HESITATE, grab one and keep it in the glove, ya never know when you might need it, not to mention it reads the codes and you could easily find out whats wrong before taking it to the mechanic, especially if your out of town and at the mercy of "pirate wrenchers" making you walk the plank...... an ounce of prevention beats a $1800.00 bill at 22.4% APR....

Been wanting one of these for a while now.. I had to get one in order to repair my car for inspection... Let me tell you this thing is worth EVERY penny!!!!!! This saved me thousands of dollers by acually telling me what was wrong so that i could fix it.. I do not know why i have not had one of these since i started driving.. I think this unit should be installed in every car... This thing worked great on my 1998 Subaru Legacy wagon i also pluged it in to a lincon 2002 LS and cleard the codes on it worked perfect.. Also one note.. the erase DTC codes works great but if you have a problem that still exists it will trigger the CEL and throw a code as soon as your start the engine or shortly there after.. This thing is worth its weight in GOLD I highly recommend getting this if you are mechanically inclined to work on your own car, and save thousands.

This scanner has saved me big $$. Quickly lets me know what needs to be fixed. Usually it is something I can do myself. If not, then I take it to a mechanic. It also lets me reset the engine service light after my simple fix. This has been a 'handy man's' dream tool. Amazon quickly found me the best price.

This thing works great once you get it to communicate. The one guy said turn your car to "on" but I think you need to put it in "run" for it to work correctly. The backlight is nice and bright. It can also read the VIN and component's status. The codes are in the little booklet or you can go online easily enough. Well worth the low price if you like working on your car.

I have a Chrysler product that simply isn't dependable; the engine/transmission computer will periodically reset, usually in 55-MPH traffic, leaving you engine-dead for a minute or more at a time, keeping the "check engine" light lit, and Chrysler "repairs" have only aggravated the problem. The Maxiscan allows me to check the computer, reset the codes that keep the engine light on, and get the car back on the road without using my AAA membership. Once the car loan is paid down to the point that I can trade the car in, I'll dump this V-6 anchor and buy something (non-Chrysler) that I can depend on; until then, this is my only hope of getting me (eventually) where I need to go.

No More Waiting to Find Vehicles SES issue
Bought the "Autel Maxiscan MS300" because of price, and was tired of the people at Autozone, Advanced Auto Parts, as well as Auto Dealerships, either having an attitude becuase i just wanted the codes so i could fix the issue with my car, and or charging me money to hook the tool up and give me some numbers which takes less than 2 minutes.
This is very easy to use, immediately worked as soon as i hooked it up to the OBD port. Found the trouble codes in no time and erased them. (I had the p0420 and p0430 codes, which i replaced the o2(oxygen sensors 2 days before deleting the codes.) SES light went out, that took less than a minute. Besides, I read the book B4 i hooked the "Scan Tool", up and used it as if i were using this thing all my life. Read the instructions and you cannot go wrong. Now if i wanted to, I could charge ppl to tell them their DTC's, but instead i will tell them where they can go....and thats amazon.com and order one; be a slave to no car. To think i was about to buy "Car MD" for over 200 bucks. You can hook this up as many times as u want to any car that has OBD2, made 1996 and after.
Autel MS300 All I can say is wow
I received this product and tried to read the manual which was pretty boring so I just decided it would be way way way easier to just go to a car and try and work it. So I've since tried it on Volvos, Cadillacs, Mercedes, Pontiacs all varying years and models and was able to write down codes and reset the light in all of them within less than a minute.
In each case I skipped the manual and put the code in P0118 Cheverolet for instance in a search engine and read what the most frequent causes are for that model and in each case the information gleaned from online was right on point. A lot of cases it was just a low antifreeze and the button just hadnt been reset. Ridiculous that shops charge $60 and $90 to read your check engine light and check the code. Buy this!! You will be glad.
Autel MaxiScan MS300 A great tool for eliminating the dashboard mystery.
This is a great little tool to have around when that mysterious "Check Engine" light appears on your dashboard. Quickly told me my O2 sensor was slow to respond. This is on a 3 year old vehicle with just 15000 miles on the odometer. I cleared the code with the scan tool and the light hasn't reappeared. If it happens again in a reasonable amount of time, then I'll know it needs attention for sure. Otherwise, to me, it was just a fluke. I love this little scan tool.
Autel MaxiScan MS300 Scanner
I like this scanner, it works as advertized. It displayed my O2 sensor problem in my 2004 honda crv. I reset the check engine light with it, replaced the sensor, and so far so good. All I can say is that for now it works fine on my Honda crv.
Autel MaxiScan MS300 Scanner GREAT TOOL!
I have used this a number of times on Honda cars. This always powers up, scans, and erases codes well! Thank you so much for the bargain price for a great tool!!
