Default OBDII Scanner Tool - On Ebay

Guys,

Does anybody have any experience of this OBDII Scanner currently on Ebay as I can't see a manufacturer name anywhere.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated before I make a purchase.

Get one that doesn't some in the cheap "Made in China" blister pack. This isn't Crossfire specific and is not close to being worth $90. You can get a good one from your local auto parts store for the same price and it will work the same or better and you have somewhere to take it back to if it doesn't work.

Just my 2 cents.

Almost all that are resonable in price are going to be made in China, and probably most of the more expensive ones as well.
Price wise is ia actually pretty good if it does what it says. The description states that it is not just a reader but will display live data. Likely a little limited on the XF but still could be handy.
That said -I would stick with a more well known brand since the price is not spectacular. Actron or Innova would be my choice for a "cheaper" reliable brand.
If you want the live data expect to pay $110 to $150 or more as features are added - if not just get a code reader for 3$30 to $50.
IMO.

Like this if you want live data

Freeze Frame Live Data

AutoEnginuity OBDII OBD2 Windows Scan Tool Scanner(USB):eBay Motors (item 290385716496 end time Jan-02-10 10:01:05 PST)

Buy that one. It works for just about every car, gives a live data meter, and has proven to be one of the best and most accurate tools we own for money.

You're gonna kick your self in the butt when you spend 90.00 on a subpar tool and then have to spend another 200-400 for a data meter.

That looks the business mate. Thankyou. Quick question, is it complicated to use/analyse?

Thanks to rcompart & 70GT6 for the previous replies too.
