Toad Pro Obd2 Download

[Cherish Asleson]

YeahI have had a similar experience after purchasing this product, Alex Eisenburg ( Total Car Diagnostics) sells pirated software.

I contacted the original creators of some of the major programs and they where happy to confirm that for me. So basically its a big scam!

While just about every product in the world will always have one half saying it's a scam, and another half saying it's one of the best investments they made... I'm the later half. Used this on all my cars so far. Have a reoccurring fault code on my Insignia that kills the car. Wouldn't be able to move without TOAD. I've also been getting support from Total Car Diagnostics since 2011. They have been consistent (sometimes slow, sometimes fast). While dozens of other car companies are virtually non-existent in 2015. In my experience, I have total trust in them.

I was a tech on BMW, Rover, Audi, for several years. I have been looking for a product this simple for years, but it finally came to me. I was skeptical at the results due to the price of the software. When I downloaded and installed the software, I was shocked to be able to read my DTC's and then be able to monitor for sensors in real time simultaneously. Let alone get tons more data then any scan tool I've used in my 10 year mechanic career. I have also used it on several different vehicle makes, and get some surprising capabilities only found in ultra high-end manufacturer OBD readers. You can't believe how pleased I am. I may buy another just to have for a different laptop in case one laptop goes down.

They shipped TOAD LITE, instead of PRO. So I had to wait another 7 days for whole drama to resolve itself. Otherwise, actual product is top notch.

I have been a technician for the last 35 years. The last 15 years I have worked as a certified tech for FoMoCo. A tech I work with had one of these primarily to clear codes & read codes on other makes of vehicles besides Ford. TOAD works for what I bought it for, I suppose there were a few times it didn't want to read codes on some vehicles cant remember which ones.

The main thing here for me is I don't have to break out are shop scanner ID the vehicle read the codes & finally clear them. This scanner hooks up hit enter scroll to erase answer yes hit enter done. Another feature this scanner has for certified emission techs like myself is the OBDII monitor readiness which tells you if the particular monitor is ready for testing or not.

I leave the scanner hooked up to the vehicle perform a OBDII drive cycle & just keep hitting rescan until all monitors read ready for testing, very nice feature for the money. I cant say much for the DTC library that came with it besides it works for Generic OBDII codes. The manufacture specific part of it is hit & miss, that's what Google is for people. In conclusion for what I use it for for, the money I paid & the money this scanner has made me for saving me time(I am a flat rate tech) I give TotalCArDiagnostics.com and TOAD OBD a solid 5 out of 5.

All you guys just got scammed the program is scanmaster v2.1 you can download it anywhere and comes with a simple hack and you can buy a elm327 for 10 bucks on ebay so 10 bucks free software hmm better than the 77 or 89 bucks that's better than giving @$!#off Alex any money and also the ecu software he's pirating is ecu2001

Alex is a low life who takes people's money from other company's hard work nice job buddy

Sorry to inform the buyers of this product but after I received it I then did my due diligence and discovered it is pirated software with a junk elm 327 v1.4 interface. The software is good except it is from wgsoft.de the maker of Scanmaster- elm and OBDLink SX . I discovered it too late as I already purchased the Total OBD & ECU product. I asked for a refund, listed on their web page they offer a 100% refund if you email them except they demanded I ship the junk interface back to Australia for $40.00 with tracking number when they shipped it to me from inside the USA. You will not receive updates to this software as I have emailed the company who has the property rights as they informed me it is pirated and no updates will be supplied. I have purchased ScanTool 425801 OBDLink SX USB: OBD Adapter/Diagnostic Scanner for Windows from Amazon. the OBDLink SX software is a free download with the purchase price but the Scanmaster elm software will cost more . Alex will call foul if you do ask for a refund claiming he is the victim

I was looking for a genuine ELM327 Adapter. They charge almost triple for theirs claiming it is better than the clones on the market (eBay, Amazon). They go on to say that others have a cheap only partially supported OBD2. I asked to see a picture of their circuit board and "Alex" never replied. He has not replied to numerous contact attempts and seems to have skirted the issue altogether. Stay away from this Scam Artist and go with a reputable brand.

^^^ I'm not sure of the identity of those here that claim that the Total Car Diagnostics (TCD) device is worth buying Given TCD's complete lack of business scruples - I suspect that these reviewers are connected with the business in some way.

However, the real issue here is not whether TCD's clone cable is worth the expenditure -but rather, the REAL question is what sort of morality do these buyers have in knowingly participating in IP fraud. It's easy for these buyers to argue that they are somehow removed from the theft that is implicit in these clones - it's also easy for buyers to conveniently argue that it's Ross-Tech's fault for pricing the legitimate device at a higher cost. But these are self-serving and self-deluding arguments for base-level greed! Yes, strong words, but I can't abide folk who conveniently side-step the real issues where IP theft is concerned.

Fact is that Ross-Tech has built-up a quality business over many years - it's this reputation that manufacturers and sellers (like TCD) of clone cables exploit. The ONLY reason why the disreputable fake cable industry persists is because of the type of buyers that espouse the nonsense written above.

I wonder how many of those that write this sort of drivel would feel if the results of their hard work was thieved by another and sold at a price that didn't pay-back the original development costs. I'm sure these authors would think quite differently if it was their IP that was stolen!

To those who have promoted dealing with TCD, I say: wake up to yourselves and get a conscience! The sooner buyers stop promoting this disreputable industry - the better it will be for those who actually invest in research-and-development!

WARNING - THIS COMPANY IS DISHONEST AND WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY.

I purchased a diagnostic cable from them, it was a fake product that didn't work, and the software they sent me to use with it was a pirated version of Rosstech VCDS. They said they would refund after I send it back. I spent $36 to ship it to Australia and they still will not refund. They are thieves, and they lie on their website, and pretend they have a multi national presence. Then you are forced so spend excessive money to ship it back. You will be lucky if you ever get a refund. I highly recommend you do NOT fall prey to their scams.

I'm in the automotive business and that software of 1.5 MB It's not good for me or anyone. I repeat 1.5 MB.

This ProScan TOADLite for 45 dollars, is a scam. The weight the only little more than 1 MB say it all, I need a refund but they don't answer to me

They Should be cleared in the ad.

Thanks. Jaime Monarrez

I'm so glad I took the time to read all of these reviews. The device smelled like a scam when I was pulled into the site by an offer of a free book. The book publisher and this product do not appear related; I suspect that this "Alex" is a scammer and pays to have it forward. I highly doubt the impressive credentials he cites are real.

What initially appeared to be an impressive site began to sund fishy. It took me four - FOUR - pages of Google search before IO finally came to a site - this one - that appeared to provide legitimate information; thank you for that, by the way. The greedy, amoral, lying thieves among us apparently have access to lots of money that provides a sophisticated means of cover. I rarely allow cookies but I have with this site; it is now my bookmarked favorite.

And no, I am not a verified customer. Thankfully.

Do not buy ! Should say total scam and forget about the 100% money back guarantee thats just to get your money. Ive been dealing with "alex " for 2 weeks now trying to get my money back to no avail and now hes competly stoped answering back so i guess ita a loss. The product wont even download onto my laptop i never even got the chance to try it out but after these reviews and the service ive recived, just dont do it

I bought a VAG-COM unit for $125 that was indicated by Alex that it is genuine and not a gimmick like others in the market. I bought it to do an advanced coding on the lighting of a 2009 VW. After purchasing the unit I found out that it is not genuine, the device will only work with the software provided by Alex and it is not as he claims to work like the VAG-COM sold by ROSS-TECH. When I asked him for help, his reply was "I guess that function is not supported" and he never replied to any other questions ever again. DO NOT BUY the VAG-COM diagnostics sold by Total Car Diagnostics, please save your money and buy the genuine by ROSS-TECH. I only needed this coding done for one vehicle and I could have spent an extra $100 and got the genuine and would have been useful. Now I have something I could have got for $25 and is useless for what I need to do. I will not recommend any products sold by Alex.

Like many others here wish I had read the reviews prior to purchase. Be nice if it at least read codes. What a disappointment. Broke down and bought a real scanner with support Xtool D8 DT. Awesome piece of equipment
