I just bought a used Ethos+ scanner off eBay a short while ago to add to my toolbag. It fit my budget and I think - emphasis on think - it will work fine for me. Since I bought it, I've plugged into a variety of vehicles mainly to get a feel for it and explore all of the functions, where things are, etc.
Question is: Everything I've tried using it on, I've been unable to use the $08 Control on board system feature of the scanner. I would understand some makes and models maybe not supporting that feature, but looking in the OBD training section of the scanner, it shows some demo features that may prove useful that I'm not sure I'll be able to use.
This is my first snap on tool, or really any tool of this caliber besides a standard average code reader, so not very familiar with some of the more advanced scanners of this magnitude. The base features of the scanner, being able to view the live data of each system and graph exportable results is still enough for me to say I like it (Old reader just showed basic info), but would like to be able to use all of the scanner if I can.
Thanks
