to the mechanical friend876 ......... first you need to buy elm327 which is a cable that connects to the OBD2 ports of the vehicle and the other end you connect to the PC ... but in particular I have been testing and I have not been able to shine any vehicle ... the advantage is ma $ cheap that the scanner and gives the data in real time ... for now I do not advise you because it has not served me in particular ... .... also the place where I asked for it ......

In the description of the product it says that it does not include Windows 7 perhaps that is your problem. Mine is a Bluetooth link and it works well for me, only sometimes it gives me problems that there is not the communication port and I have to restart the machine but it is not very often, the rest it works well for me even in the vehicles with Can Can system
