bbfly-BF32301 USB FTDI Chip OBD-II Scan Tool for Windows Auto Diagnostic Scanner OBD2

I purchased this to use with a free diagnostic software app (TigerTool) that had been developed for certain Triumph motorcycles to reset maintenance intervals, bleed the ABS brakes, check throttle-body balance, and read/clear ECU error codes. The software developer recommended this particular "bbfly" brand of OBD-II scan tool, because he developed the software for the particular FTDI chip in this scan tool. Apparently there are a number of cheap scanners on the market that are using cloned chips (I don't know the actual details, that's just what I'm surmising) that may not work correctly with his software.Following the instructions that came with the scan tool, I downloaded the correct driver, loaded it on my Windows 10 laptop and then connected the scan tool to a USB port. It was recognized right away and the correct driver loaded without an issue. Following the software developer's procedure (and making sure the correct port was set in the software), the scanner interfaced with my Triumph's ECU, and I was able to determine the error code clear it.

I used this to connect my motorcycle to the computer. Great price point for an item lightly used.

Spent multiple hours trying to download all the right drivers and all the right software and nothing would get the cable to work. Wouldn't even register it was plugged into my car.

I bought this to use to reset maintenance reminders on my 2018 Triumph Tiger 1200 XRx when doing my own oil changes etc. It worked successfully with the free TigerTool app for this purpose.

tried all types of settings and drivers and it will not work with guzzidiag even though it has the FTDi 232RL chipset inside (I opened the case up and verified this)

Despite having a really nice Bluetooth unit from another manufacturer, it didn't support all the protocols I needed for a specific diagnostic computer application. This specific scan tool did support that protocol, so I was able to run my diagnostic tool to support a 2012 Triumph Tiger 800 XC. No clue if this is a clone or authentic chip, but I do know that it worked perfectly without any driver gymnastics. That's a big deal for this unit being at its price point.

software comes on mini disc and I had minor issues transferring to my laptop which doesn't have a dvd. website wasn't much help

if your a wrench monkey, this thing can save you a lot of money wasted at shops. test and find the errored sensors your self, buy sensor for 50% less than shop would have sold it to you.with the right app can do very detailed diagnostics for tons of cars.
