Easy to use and works great even on an older car

Nice

Very easy to use, and has a lot of functionality

Turned on every single dashlight in two of my cars and wasn’t able to remove it. Had to use my other $200+ machine to remove it all.

This is the first OBD2 tool I've used so I'm coming at this from a genuine neophyte's point of view. First of all the documentation is actually more extensive than I'd expected but it's still just a small fold-out sheet. It does cover the highlights and I guess it's adequate. Using the device is simple, just plug it in to the port on your car and the tool automatically powers on. The cable is long enough that I could sit in the driver's seat and fiddle with the device, sitting in the passenger seat would work too but it's not long enough for much else. You won't be watching the screen while bent over the engine or anything. The screen is nice and bright, colors are good, text is clear. The screen refresh can be a little weird when changing pages or moving the cursor but it's still functional. The large buttons are easy to use even gloved, and indeed the whole device should be comfortable to handle and use in gloves. Well, maybe not boxing gloves. Now most of the diagnostics and readouts are beyond me at the moment and I can't speak to their accuracy or usefulness, but it did seem comprehensive. I just don't have another frame of reference to which I can compare. I also don't have any trouble codes at the moment so I don't know if this unit will comprehend them or give any useful information. I bet it does though, it did recognize the ECU in my Nissan. Every screen I looked at seemed to work except for the oxygen sensor screen which said wasn't supported for my car. Otherwise all the data showed up and clicking on some items switched to a graphing view so you can see voltage levels or torque or what have you, all very neat to a dummy like me. One thing I'm confused about is the USB-C port on the bottom of the unit. It doesn't appear to be mentioned in the 'manual' and plugging it in to power doesn't do anything, the unit doesn't turn on. I'm a bit nervous to plug it in to a PC because you know how it is, never plug strange devices in to your computer. I'll try it on a more disposable computer later. Says it supports firmware updates but I have no idea where to even look for updated firmware. That reminds me, I'm glad this is fully functional without needing some awful phone app with 1.5 stars on the Play Store or worse, something you have to download from a shady site and sideload on your phone like some of these low cost gizmos. I mean, it would be notionally nice if you could immediately export data over Bluetooth or something but that's not a feature I need. Anyway I'm happy with this and I'm glad I got it though I'm hoping it'll remain a toy, a curiosity, for the foreseeable future, rather than something I actually need to use to figure out a problem with my car.

Dose what I need with a clear picture

This tool is good for the person who does not know much about vehicles. It read the codes on my 2013 hyundai veloster without issue. Have been able to diagnose engine light being on an cleared codes.

The T200 is an up to data scanner. Has more modes and scans than my old scanner. Easy to use and accurate.
