4.0 out of 5 stars Autoxray 4000 - very pleased!, March 18, 2006

After reading the previous review, I was skeptical about the unit, but being a Certified Master Mechanic with over 30 years of experience, I am used to varieties of testing equipment and they all have pros and cons. I found the Autoxray 4000 met my expectations with a nice, well lit display with adjustable contrast level and a user friendly menu platform. The first night I tested a '98 Jeep, '04 Ford F-150, and an '05 Mustang. The unit functioned perfectly and reported freeze frame data, trouble codes, pending codes, and I was able to monitor the PID's to determine if any hidden conditions existed. Fours stars due to having to upgrade ($) through Autoxray to view any more than the basic sensor values. Update on Jan 25, 2009...Still performing flawlessly after more than 2 1/2 years at a dealership!

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Product but Lacks Some Enhanced Function, November 10, 2007

I bought this scanner mainly for its enhanced data functionality. However, after activating the GM Enhanced Data I found out that it was still not able to display some of the enhanced data such as CAM Retard, which is what I needed to set the distributor on by GM Vehicle. The standard features worked good, fast communication between scanner and vehicle, and you can clear codes without having to shut the engine down (cheaper scanners force you to have the engine off to reset the fault codes). If SPX can get all of the enhanced data working on this scanner I would give it a 5. My best word of advice before you buy, search forums and call SPX tech support to verify the data you need is available on the scanner.

Scanners are expensive. Most have so many adapters and run you through so many screens it takes a lot of effort to learn and then to maneuver your way to the data you need. I bought this scanner because it was affordable. I wanted to read live data stream not just codes and it does that great.The software is vehicle specific so when you read data from a Kia or Hyundai or Ford, it is reading that vehicle and not generics. As a bonus AutoX-Ray threw in the EZ Charge testing lead and activated the function. This is a great feature. It activated the digital voltmeter, and also a battery tester that reads cold cranking amps. It tests the battery without loading it. I had a problem after I dropped the scanner from my box to the shop floor. The toll-free number was to a knowledgable English speaking, American based tech support. They told me what to do to get the scanner up and running again fast and easy. The scanner also comes with a USB cable whereby I can download free software updates.
The scanner has never let me down. The information has always been complete and correct. It powers it's self down to save battery life. A nice feature is that I can take it from the vehicle into the front office, turn it on and show the customer or my manager what the information is that was retrieved.
I can't think of anything bad to say about it. No, it is not a Genisys, an OTC or Snap-on. But it works well and costs less than one cartridge for the others. If you need more, buy more. If you need and easy, quick plug in and read device this is it. I highly reccoment Auto X-Ray products.
