Autel MaxiScan MS300 Seems to work ok, code database lacking

Neither of our cars was showing a trouble code, so I don't know how the MaxiScan works to actually retrieve a code, but it functioned exactly as advertised on my 2003 Saab 9-3 Sedan, retrieving all the information claimed. The manual instructions were correct, though I was confused a bit at first because I misread them.

The only real disappointment for me is the code database. The one on the CD doesn't cover Saab, and I could not get the one on the web site to open at all (404 errors.) The manual does cover all the generic codes, and if I really needed to find a manufacturer code, I probably could somewhere.

Don't believe the part about "detachable cable" in the Amazon Product Description - the cable is NOT detachable.
