“Because the FoxFlash is working very good for me. I decided to make this review of facts and tested procedures.
- It works only in ONLINE mode. You won’t run the software without it.
- It works only with the device connected to USB port, like the others. You won’t run the software without it.
- There are mistakes in the circuits and wirings sometimes – do not rely on the manual.
- You need some electronic skills to work with it since there is very minimalistic GUI of the software and also you need to make some repairs to the device. It is not intended for use with OBD port users generally. In this case there is a risk of the car damage if you mess around this port without a basic knowledge.
- In majority of cases you do not need to open ECUs like before and this is the best benefit of this device.
