|    can't get OBDII reader to work    |

      XPost: alt.home.repair       From: NONONOmisc07@fmguy.com              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       https://www.foxwelltech.us/page-view.html that says              DEAR CUSTOMER        Thank you very much for visiting our website. Please note that we have       two websites, but you have no access to both websites with your       account** due to technical reasons.        You have to register** on one of the two websites according to the       actual situation. Should you have any issues, please feel free to       contact us Support@foxwelltech.com              **But there is no way to register or log in!! Sound like some madman       fiddles with their website in the middle of the night.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
