 Works well, except for my Subaru October 10, 2008
There's been enough reviews of this to allow you to make up your mind. One word for caution for Subaru owners: Apparently there is still a compatibility issue as of October 2008. When I hooked the thing to my 2000 outback, it wouldn't read anything (error is what I got), although it worked fine on my VW. The customer service was quick to respond to my request for help, and suggested to read the code while the engine was running. That did the trick, so I can read codes now.
So, subaru owners: if you can't read the codes with the engine stopped, try with the engine running. Worked for me.
 WORKS GREAT September 29, 2008
Received the OBD11 code reader on time five days...
I had to use it on my Saturn found the fault code and
fixed the problem...
A few days later my brother gave me a call he had a
fault on his Ford truck... I hooked up the OBD11 code
reader and gave him the fault code information,,, he
fixed his problem...
YES this OBD11 code reader gets a five star rating from
me!!! WORKS GREAT!!!
IN ONE USE SAVED ME THE COST OF IT, PLUS!! September 28, 2008
After being "robbed" with a $150 diagnostic charge for a loose gas cap, I invested in this unit. It's easy to use and I have now had the opportunity to use it on my wife's car and found check engine light was on for another loose gas cap. With this unit I was able to shut the light off!! Hurray!! I have in one use recouped the cost of the unit an saved $80 as well. Buy one, it's well worth it.
Future Proof September 25, 2008

This is what it is and does what it does. It is a basic bare bones code reader but has the advantage of being future proof. This is one of the most affordable code readers that works with the older On-Board Diagnostics (OBDII) and the newer Controller-area network (CAN or CAN-bus). CAN has been in use by some car manufacturers since the 1990's but as of 2008 all cars in the U.S. are required to use CAN. Both protocols use the same type of connector.
Even if you have a car that is OBDII don't be tempted to save a few bucks on an OBDII only reader; your bound to have a CAN type car in the future. This thing is well made, the LCD and status lights are highly readable and the controls are simple and easy to learn.
Amazon is shipping the updated 3030a model that is virtually the same as the one pictured except for a slightly different button placement and a newer processor that apparently is more compatible with all car manufacturers.
Works as it say's it does .... September 15, 2008
