" ... The device took about 5 seconds to install and 2 minutes to download and set up the app I used to communicate with it, my original digitial boost gauge took about a hour and a half from running hoses into my engine bay to mounting and soldering to a power source with fuses, and yes that was just one boost gauge reader. ...

" ... Easy to use if you have patience, took me 15 minutes to the thing to connect, but after that you just have to give it sometime, bought an application that works superb, did some diagnostic, erased some codes, check some sensors that needed just a kick, very accurate as my car has some advance telemetry, it has a nice feedback depending on the application you use, I did try a free one and of course you have to uograde to her all bells and whistles, but indeed the OBDii connector work as specified ...
