Does the job.. but some problems....
The MaxiScan MS300 does read the codes and is easy to hook up and use. Functionally, it works.
However, there are some serious problems:
- As reported earlier, the CD is entirely useless - the code database does install (although install menu looks like it was written for Win98), however once that database is installed on your PC, when you go to look up P-code numbers there is no information on them - all you get is 'no data'. You are left with the product's User Manual as your sole reference to the codes.
- The manufacturer's website ([...]) does have a link for downloading the DTC codes, but it's a dead link and goes nowhere - again, entirely useless.
Please note that these issues also apply to the MS500 as they share the same CD.
