Just installed mine and was able to clear engine light and now my worries are gone since scan results did not show any problem. Took me 10 minutes . Thanks for the video. Thanks.
Glad it helped
Clear English Thank you 😊 hello 🤗
He did not mention in the steps you have to put in your car year, make, and model, because perhaps you want to run this diagnostic on cars. I have had mine FIXD for over a year and I am very pleased with it. Yes, I have reset or cleared my check engine light with the item, but if you do not fix the ongoing problem it will come back on in a few hours or days. This is compatible with most cars, go to their website and you see a line to allow you to check for auto compatability. Love this item for its convenience, and possibilities of solving a problem, and it can clear a check engine light.
Thank you for this video. Is there a monthly charge for using the app?
@Stephen McGraw when this video was released there were no additional fees. Since then they have added what they call "FIXD Premium" as an in app purchase for a cost of $69.99 a year or monthly for $8.99. If you are a DIY'er then you may only want the sensor which still reads codes without additional costs. If you are a technician working for yourself then it's probably worth it because you can join a community of technicians that offer notes and advice on repairs. If you navigate to your App Store you can find out anything you need to know about it.
Please note that We are NOT affiliated with FIXD at all and only bought the sensor and reviewed the product for ourselves and our audience.
Very informative video !! Didn't answer the ? I was researching....does the Fixd stay in place always, or do you plug it in only when engine light comes on? I guess I'll keep searching. Thank you!
FIXD States: You can leave the sensor plugged in all the time, as it uses very little power when not communicating with the app. If you leave your car sitting for more than 3 weeks, we recommend that you remove the sensor. For more FAQ’s .. click on this link: carhealthmonitor.com/fixd-faq
I was kind of hoping to see you do a step-by-step installation, showing screens with registering etc. But I think I got the jist of it. I've been watching various videos.
He was more thorough than other videos I have seen about the same product.
Hi Trish, We can certainly work on a more thorough video however the steps to install are really easy to navigate through and not that much more detailed than what we have shown. Thanks for watching !
Thank you for this great video!!
Please don't laugh at My Question....Do you leave the FIXD Sensor in place. Or Do You Remove It & place it only when attempting to Diagnose a potential vehicle problem or using it for Maintenance purposes?
( I have the minimal Instructions, but it doesn't Say what to do after the 8 Steps).
I would remove it and keep in the glove box until needed. Best to turn car off first and then unplug. Technically nothing wrong with leaving it plugged in, but it shouldn't be needed that often. Thanks for watching!
The instructions said you also have to see a blue light come on when you install the Fixd to see if you have power on
Great (how to) video installing Fixd! How long does the car need to be running to complete from start to finish to get a complete diagnostic scan?? My potential issue is a recall from Fiat in regards to excess burning of oil! Do not like to run engine long when not in motion! At the moment they are testing vehicles for exact oil usage mileage and time!
@Stephanie Coney...it can take just a matter of seconds to a minute or more depending on how many codes are stored and of course that is assuming the device has a good connection to both vehicle and phone. Thanks for stopping by and hope this was useful!
Long enough to buy a bunch of parts then pay to have someone actually figure out the problem. 35 years in the profession and seeing free scans fix nothing.
@@rcworks9762 Phew, good thing it's not free..
their is one thing they don't say" do you live the fixd plug in to the car? or you remove it and use it when you need it?
Would recommend removing it.
Where do you insert the FIXD part in a 2012 Toyota Yaris?
On drivers side to the lower left of the steering wheel under dash
Did you have to input your VIN before the scan worked. Do you have to input your mileage. I saw another vid on FIXD and the person had to input those things. It surprised me that this scanner couldn't read that info from the car's computer.
Paul, this information has to be entered in manually for this Sensor.
@@PartsCounterGurus Thanks. I'm surprised about that. Cheaper scanners just read that info from the ecu.
Paul, The Device will work in regards to scanning for codes without the VIN or Mileage information input. If that's a deal breaker then yes you are correct there are others on the market that will read the mileage and VIN. We appreciate you reaching out to us!
@@klogjo we aren't getting paid... And it's a really cool product. Why do you think it's "crap?"
Gary O watches video. Video says it’s a great product. Gary O says it’s crap. Might Gary O be just a miserable negative person?
I went to website there's not such thing to found out it's compatible to me vehicle .. it's was great suggestion from you. But for me it's dead end. I'm interested to purchase two pcs
@squirtmph actually it is on the FIXD website www.fixd.com/ and it simply states works with any gasoline automobiles and trucks 1996 and later and then Diesel after 2008. We do not sell these and only reviewed their product. If you want to purchase one, go to Amazon or the same website in this message. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!
@@PartsCounterGurus Yes, sir. Thanks 👍 for taking your time respond to my questions & conserns
Wish there was something like this to plug into my wife when she’s off
If you ever find something, let us know and we'll review it (with your wife?). Kidding man...
The video mentions an Android cell phone but not an iPhone. Does this work with the iPhone?
Yes
If I as running a parts house I'd be pushing these for the simple reason it would sell parts.
A scan code is the start of a diagnosis, it does not mean a part indicated by the code is bad. So the Fixd owner does what I call the shotgun approach and buys parts until the code goes away or they get stuck and come see me. A real ASE master Technician.
Nothing was better for me than having a parts house next door giving free scans. They sell the customer a part the customer looks at the part and realizes he or she is not set up to change the part. They come in from the parts house and say "Change this!" We give them a quote, they agree to it and we change the parts... problem is the code did not go away. it came back. The customer is hot wants to know why I charged him to change a part that did not fix the problem. I explain it to him, he has his own diagnosis and his own part. I did not charge for diagnosing the problem, just removing and replacing the part. He goes back to the parts house and throws a fit because electric parts are not returnable.
Once in a while it might save you a few bucks but from what I understand this thing is a subscription service so I doubt it will save you anything.
If all these schemes fixed cars I close my doors. :)
@RCWorks the subscription is not necessary to scan for codes. The subscription is only there as a choice to buy to assist the owner of the device in finding help from a community of "Master Technicians" like yourself to help guide them through a repair or recommend they go to a certified repair shop to resolve the issue if needed. If you are one who is capable of repairing the problem yourself then it would really pay for itself the first repair. Maybe you should contact FIXD and join that community to help people out and make a little extra $$$.
Wonder if you need a device for each car?
@Nonaka Byrd FIXD says One FIXD Sensor can be used with multiple vehicles, but they do recommend having one device per vehicle in order to get the most out of it. You can plug in multiple sensors to each vehicle your family owns and connect them all to one account on your phone. We are not tech support for FIXD so we recommend going here www.fixdapp.com/fixd-getting-started-guide/
Couldn't find the place for my 2010 jeep Patriot for the fixd
Try looking to the left of the steering column above the parking brake under dash.
found got the nod
@@klogjo, WHAT? AN ADDITIONAL CHARGE FOR USING?
Gary, there was no monthly charge when we released the video. We're being told there is now.
How much per year for the APP Service?
There was no fee when we shot the video. See comments above for current pricing.
I guess some people leave them plugged not me
Can you tell me is there a monthly fee for this device
we previously answered this in the comments.
Parts Counter Gurus well I’m asking you
FIXD is running a sale right now for our viewers. If you use this link, you can get it for $19.99: fixd-automotive.myshopify.com/?rfsn=5151377.fe0c457
What if the car don't start would it still work
yes Akeem, as long as the vehicle has power / the battery is not dead.
Parts Counter Gurus he said it doesn’t start so...
If your lights work your starter is bad if it doesn’t then your battery is probably dead
I heard a comment if you leave it plugged in it drains the battery
Why would you leave it plugged in 🤷♂️
I got a problem
You saved me from a lot of unnecessary worrying..
Glad to hear we could help! Thanks for watching !
The case is worth more than the scanner
@John Greggs ..... where you buying your cases ?
My app keeps kicking me out
Go to FIXD.com and they have a tech team to help
Translate over 7000 error codes into plain English, taking the stress out of the check engine light.
This gadget is not worth the plastic it's in, there are thousands of other apps out there that do so much more. You can find OBD 2 devices out there for 20 or less just search Amazon for OBD 2 and most of the apps are free or close to it.
@rogersoard .... yes there are tons out there for sure that are indeed cheaper and really too many to review them all. We bought this to review only and not to price compare. You go be you
All of these so called “Fixd reviews” are more of paid advertisements then actual real life experiences 😂😂😂
They all keep showing the box like if we came here to look at the fknnn box 😂 6:55 and couldn’t get straight to the point.
Appreciate your opinion, albeit completely wrong. We bought these readers with our own money. There's the door pal.
Wasting my time, you did not say anything regarding yearly expensive fee for using the app......
@Samir El Youbi you do not have to purchase the premium app to use it. It will still pull the codes without any additional cost. We purchased this to use and decided to review it. We are not sponsored by FIXD and are NOT their Tech support. If you have a problem with their product you should go to www.fixd.com/ . By The Way, This video is free if you are looking for something free. Otherwise, there's the door ! And...you just wasted our time!
Skeevy bastards conveniently skipped the part that says you have to provide your credit card information that signs you up for a plethora of other products.
@Joe Malinchalk …. Our objective was to demo how easy it was to set up and pull error codes for a low cost. At the time we shot this video (3 years ago) there was no in app purchases required and in fact you can still use this without paying a dime! It is NOT required to give your CC info unless you want to upgrade to premium. We purchased these to demo on our channel and were not asked by FIXD to demo this. If you have an issue with the FIXD device and app, then we suggest you comment on their website at www.fixdapp.com/ .
@@PartsCounterGurus The app will not let you install it without your credit card information, check the BBB and see the plethora of complaints about it.
@Joe Malinchalk, I’m not disputing what you are seeing however we reviewed our app and nowhere does it ask for CC info to use the device. Only when upgrading to their other services. We have an email out to them asking for disclosure info. We will follow up soon ! By the way… thanks for watching
Yeah, what skeevy bastards. They shot a video over 3 years ago, gave you the information that was accurate AT THAT TIME.... FOR FREE and ... how dare they not update the video every two weeks with current information so YOU can get FREE advice. You're on to them, that was the plan all along... "Let's shoot a video and then in 3 years when the manufacture changes their policy, we'll really have them... muhahahaha." Center of the universe... meet Joe, who can't check the dates on videos before he complains...
This is not a useful tool for a mechanic. The inability to clear codes is regrettable because the alternative method of disconnecting the battery results in loosing essential data such as OBD monitors being set, or keep alive memory that is valuable in preventing the engine control processor from having to “relearn” things like idle settings.
There are many disruptive “ads” that suggest calling a mechanic or nearby shop.
I am a mechanic and don’t need an ad based tool to refer me to a professional. Really disappointed.....
Hey Mike The Mechanic.... if you’re looking for another pro scanner tool to add to your arsenal, yep.... you probably want to go on over and spend a little more than $60 on a Professional Scanner. This is really for the DIY level and not for you. Thanks for stopping by !!
