⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Carter - Auto Repair Shop Owner
"I’ve been using the OBDSTAR CAN FD Adapter (Pro Model) with my X300 DP Plus for over six months now, and it's transformed how we handle diagnostics. The real-time ECU monitoring is lightning-fast—especially on newer BMWs and Teslas where older tools would lag. The dual CANFD channels eliminated communication timeouts during a recent software flash job. Built like a tank, too. Dropped it twice already (oops), and the rugged plastic housing held up perfectly."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 6 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Emily Tran - Automotive Hobbyist
"As someone who tunes her own Subaru STI at home, I needed something more powerful than a basic OBD2 scanner. This adapter delivers. I paired it with the X300 Pro4, and the 20 Mbit/s data rate lets me monitor turbo pressure, AFR, and knock sensors in real time without lag. The LED indicators are a small but huge quality-of-life upgrade—knowing CANFD1 is active at a glance saves so much troubleshooting time. Setup was plug-and-play."Purchase Date: November 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Marcus Reynolds - Industrial Fleet Technician
"We bought the Advanced Model for our municipal bus fleet, and it’s been solid. Handles everything from diesel ECUs to hybrid control modules. The custom firmware support allowed us to integrate it with our legacy diagnostic software, which was a game-changer. Only reason I’m not giving five stars is that the USB-C power adapter isn’t included, which felt like an oversight for a pro-tier tool."Purchase Date: April 2024 | Usage Period: 5 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Luca Moretti - Race Car Tuner
"For track-side diagnostics, this adapter is indispensable. I use the Pro Model with custom-tuned firmware for our Formula 4 team. The ultra-low 2ms latency means we can capture transient ECU errors during high-load runs—something our old CAN2.0 tools missed entirely. It’s also surprisingly compact; fits in my pit bag with no bulk. After 4 months of weekend racing, the LEDs still respond instantly, even in dusty conditions."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 7 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Aisha Patel - On-Site Vehicle Diagnostician
"I drive to customers’ locations daily, so portability and reliability are key. The Base Model works flawlessly with my Pro4 tool across most domestic and Asian models. Love the 12V/24V power flexibility—it’s saved me when diagnosing a customer’s diesel pickup that kept killing lesser adapters. Only wish the status display went beyond LEDs; a small screen like on the Advanced Model would help newbies more."Purchase Date: September 2024 | Usage Period: 4 months
