It is a reliable unit, it does have a web site to send codes and readings to, but there is a membership fee, but if you use it everyday it is well worth the membership fee especially for a shop, the live data is a big plus, it doesn't give you the answer but sure cuts the time down on the diagnosis part.

These scanners are great for the price- We have been selling this brand for approx. 1 year and have heard all good feedback

I recently bought this model but had a previous model for 5+ years. The Innova brand is good in my estimation and this model is a bit pricey but works well so far.

To Guy J. Clark. Thank you so much for mentioning VueScan! I've tried several other software front-ends with this scanner, and VueScan is definitely the best for this scanner. I also have a Cannon scanner for my usual work, and VueScan is as versatile as the Cannon software. (Using it with Win7)

yes, it is a decent scanner, USB supported in most applications. You application must have the ability to use the scanned data, basically it is like a keyboard wedge, anything you would normally input via kbd can be scanned.

My mgr elected not to use the scanner so I can't answer your question. Sorry. Other than that, it's been a very reliable and fairly easy to use machine so far. Regards, Ric

Patricia--you are a life-saver! Thanks so much for taking the time to put together your tutorial. I've been paying between 75 cents and $1 each to scan my Dad's slides. With over 1,500 more to go this is definitely more cost effective. I had an HP scanner that supposedly did slides but the results were nothing like what you are able to get on your 4400.

Regards M. N. Magan, Sorry I can not comment on the performance on linux, I use it on microsoft. I have the scanner 5 years old and I have not had any problem, I would buy without hesitation.

I was told that Epson scanners were the best for the money. I had difficulty with the software on my PC with Windows 64 bit Ultimate. Eventually I returned the scanner and stayed with the HP. Sorry I can't answer your question.

Yes, I recommend it. I've had four different scanners. This is by far the best, light, multiple resolution settings, color or b/w. I love this one.

This is a late response but I have not been around for a while. I am sorry and I hope you have resolved your problem. But in case you have not, I will say, our son has a jeep liberty (not diesel though), and he ues this scan tool all the time. It is accurate for his jeep as well as our Grand Cherokees and our other cars.

As always, no guarantees, but if the car was manufactured AFTER 1996, it should have the CAN OBD-II protocol built into the computer, which means that any scantool would work just fine. Please search for my full review of this product in order to get a better idea of whether or not this is the right scantool for you. This one has some advanced features that most people don't need, and it also has some features that don't quite work as advertised, which effectively means this unit doesn't quite measure up to some of the other scantools out there in terms of "bang for your buck".

Probably not. I have this scanner. Doesn't work with quite a few things. And I doubt it will work for that car.

I agree with the other answers listed. U do need a digital scanner. Even though the BC355C is a good scanner, it doesn't pick up digital transmissions. Being an amateur radio operator ( ham radio ) I would highly reccomend several from radio shack, or even search the web for a digital reciever.

My computer is a PC, but the scanner comes with drivers included in a cd. Also you can get the latest PC and MAC drivers from the Brother website. My recomendation is to verify, using the model number, directly on the Brother Website.

Since you asked the question, you are not prepared to program this scanner. The comments made by Al Buterol on 4/7/2014 are right on target. Go one step further and purchase it from the vendor fully programmed for your area of use. Good luck.

Hi; I think this a "hit or miss" proposition. I received a unit that did not work with my 2003 Honda Accord. I then worked with their customer service to get a replacement sent, and that one works. Plus, in reading other reviews, I came to the conclusion this scanner appears to have trouble with older vehicles (pre 2004 ?), and not so much the newer (post 2005 ?) vehicles. The return policy is you have to pay return shipping to China, which far exceeds the cost of the scanner. So, if you buy the scanner and it does not work, you may need to be prepared to "contact seller" to try to get a replacement (as I did). Did you try the BAFX scanner? That brand worked the first time in my Honda. Hi; I think this a "hit or miss" proposition. I received a unit that did not work with my 2003 Honda Accord.
