Equus 3130 Great unit, Great price

I bought this with my father so we'd both have a unit to read codes and help us troubleshoot new vehicles. He's in his mid 50's, and isn't incredibly computer competent but is very well "geared" toward automotive repairs & troubleshooting. He had no issues figuring out how to use the unit to read codes. This model had the best feature set for the price and also seemed to have the best reviews. The ability to view/record live data as the car is driving was important for me because many issues are difficult to replicate when the car isn't in motion-- the same ones that the car dealers often have a difficult time identifying.

Equus 3130 great diagnostic tool

Great tool. Excellent step between a code reader and a "genesis" system. I ordered the 3130 at 3:52 p.m. on a Thursday, paid for overnight shipping, and was on my porch in Wisconsin at 10:50 a.m. the next morning. That is service!

Equus 3130 scanner

I found this scanner easy to use. It came with a detailed instruction book on how to set up and use the product. It also has an extensive list of error codes to help with troubleshooting the problem. The ability to erase the error code was especially helpful. There was also a CD included which allowed you to set up a file for your car on a computer to catalog the codes and keep track of the repair work done to resolve the issue. Came with a nice carrying case which helps keep all the cables and scanner protected and stored together.

Equus 3130 Great Product

This thing works great and tells you instantly if your vehicle will pass an emission test, plus retrieving codes and live data is a snap and easy to read. You need to be a mechanic or mechanically inclined to use the information given, but you can definitely save on the diagnostic fee that the shops charge. This thing can be upgraded to read ABS codes for $99. If you buy the USB to serial adapter, it connects to a computer well. This was definitely the best price.

Equus 3130 Excellent code reader

I haven't used this item too much yet, but I have used it to look up the codes on my van and some family vehicles, and it works great. I find that it tells what the problem is right on the screen to be most helpful. I'd definitely recommend this product.

Equus 3130 Great Product, Great Deal!

Wow! I can't believe I went without one of these scanners until now. This unit has all the features a DIY needs, and Amazon prices are unbeatable. I saved $60 dollars on the purchase, and I have already found and fixed two problems without a mechanic. Thanks for a great deal on a great product.
