 Worked on both my 4runner and Suburban July 2, 2010
OhhWell
Very simple. Hooked to my PC and worked perfectly on Vista 64. not much else to say really.
 Software is OK but not great June 12, 2010

Software supplied with Crescent USB OBD2/EOBD scanner tool is not that great. It does work in that it allows you to look at the current status of data streams and it will download a list of current stored error codes.
However,
a) the "OBD 2007 lite" software does not allow you to save the data as a record of current performance/system status on your PC,
b) the "OBD 2007 lite" interface output is all purely numeric and does not generate curves documenting engine performance
c) I have not been able to get the prettier "digital dash 5.0" software to work that came on the software disk. It locks-up as soon as I request the Auto-Diagnostics page. Others may have luck with this, I have not.
If you want the more advanced software that should work with the adapter (OBD2Pro by glm software) it will cost an additional chunk of change. ($79 for the software as of this writing)
I am looking for a better software package that will work with the scanner. According to the documentation, the scanner tool is versatile and should work with other packages.
 Works as intended May 14, 2010

Bought the OBDII scanner to diagnose the CEL on my Mazda RX8. Seems to have revealed the problem and helped me ensure the workshop fixed the right thing.
This is simple to install and use, and performed the job intended. The scanner is capable of doing more though, like real-time monitoring and logging, but the provided software only enabled the basic features. You will have to buy more sophisticated software for such more advanced features. I'm not complaining, as it still did what I needed it for.
Great price and does the job! May 4, 2010

Just follow the configuration settings on the CD, install the software, and Go! Software is limited, but it reads codes, clears codes and gives you some real time data. What more could you ask out of it?
I got it to work fine in Vista, but for the life of me could not get it to work in Linux.
Exactly what is needed. April 13, 2010

I had been pondering purchasing an OBDII cable/solution for use on a computer for a while. It wasn't until I was faced with an impending state emissions test coupled with my dummy light being on that I finally leapt. I had previously taken my vehicle to my fairly trusty mechanic with the dummy light on. He found a code (P0141 for Toyota) that led to replacement of a post cat oxygen sensor. Somehow after that repair, the dummy light stayed on and the mechanic was a bit perplexed that the light was still on and stated he did not see a new code. Couple that with a few different statements that his OBD machine was just calibrated (should work) and he contacted a Toyota dealer, he was prepared to start testing ground on various points and hinted at the ECM needing replacement.
Well, I let this slip until the notice for emissions testing came. I figured if it worked out, the purchase of this OBD solution would pay for itself. The code I picked up was the P1155 code for one of the pre CAT air/fuel sensors. After looking the information up online and finally getting straight which sensor of the two the P1155 related to (its the one poking out of the heat shield), everything works. So, before factoring in the price of this cable, the part was 170 dollars or so. Minus the markup the mechanic would do on the part plus the at least hour labor, I saved the equivalent of the part and could have bought a few of these cables to break even.
Really this is a nice solution and the software that comes with the cable will work. There are a few choices on the CD, so try them all.
