Foxwell NT301 OBDII code reader
Worked fine a year ago.
In my trunk for a year, but car is white so it doesn't get that hot, doesn't get that cold because it's Maryland.
Now, no matter what button I push I get the One-Click I/M ReadinessKey report.
I'd like to get DTCs, trouble codes!
Apparently a CD came with it, but I can't find that, so maybe I can DL the software from Foxwell. Can't find it, can only find update software.
OKay, that's good enough.
I download the NTWonder update file, but it's named NT+Wonder+Installer_NT301_V5.20_20171107.pdf
It's labeled a PDF file, but it it won't display as a pdf file, or at all, in either of two pdf readers.
So I rename it to be an .exe file. Then it won't run "on this computer", windows 10.
Before I write to them, I wanted to see if you guys know what I am, or they are, doing wrong. ???
Foxwell seems to be a respected company, and this device has a 4.5 rating out of 5 on over 12,000 ratings.
OTOH, one guy who gave it 1 star says "Tech support on the manufacturer's website is a joke at best with broken links or updates." That's what I've got, a broken update, and I also came across this page
