HDS (Honda Diagnostic System) units from China?

[wb2vsj]

Has anyone purchased one of these HDS systems off ebay?

It's probably a **** shoot but I am considering getting one - Have 4 Honda's/Acura's in the family and the conventional daig tools won't test certain things, like the Electronically controlled motor mounts in my '06 Odyssey. (That's another story )

Thanks in advance.

They get good reviews on AliExpress. You should be fine.

Thanks - I totally forgot about AliExpress. Never ordered from them before so I gave them a try. Will report back when I get the unit.

I bought a similar setup for Toyota. I got it from amazon, and guess is some kind of pirated version of Toyota's tech stream software. It also runs on xp. Works great, used it to change nanny stuff, like seat belt alarm, and change the key fob to unlock all doors at once. I also activated the alarm, which the dealer has as an option for you to pay them to turn it on. This was on my 10 tundra.
BTW, I did not know a similar setup was out for Honda, might have to get it.

No problem there - I have an old Laptop with XP with a serial port too. Thanks for the heads up though.
