The most useful thing you could buy for your car.
After researching the competitors I purchased the kiwi 3. I don’t use the PLX app and I recommend against it. The most useful app is “Car Scanner”. The free version lets you do everything the paid version does but limits your number of preset customizable dashboards(custom configuration of graphs and gauges). I paid for the full version to support the developer and save dashboards. FORScan lite is very very powerful, allowing you to run full systems diagnostics tests.Everything from testing your air conditioning system Pressure, fuel economy, error codes, overall vehicle health. This does it all very well. The refresh rate is unmatched. And it’s low power consumption means you can and should leave it connected 24/7. If you got pulled over you could always say you were only speeding to run diagnostics on your transmission’s top gear 😏.I have one complaint about this product. I wanted to use a laptop running FORScan to add features to my vehicle. On the FORScan forum they mentioned the kiwi 3 specifically because apparently PLX refused to work with FORScan when they learned that FORScan was headquartered in Russia. I have to buy a cheap ELM because of that. Otherwise I would’ve given this a perfect 5 star review. If they allow the full FORScan program to work with the kiwi 3 I will revise my review.
Thank you for your feedback
