-  1.  Is a magnetic car mount compatible with MagSafe cases?I drive a 2013 Civic on rough roads and I use an iPhone 14 Pro with a MagSafe case. I'd like a mount that stays put on vents without blocking airflow & or a dash option that won't leave residue. Bonus if it supports one-handed docking! Not looking to use adhesive pads!Posted 2 months ago by River Lefevre
-  2.  Which OBD2 scanner can read and clear a check engine light on a 2012 Toyota?The light came on this week and I just want to know what code it is :) I would like a scanner that can read live data and clear the light. It would be cool if it works with an app on my phone too.Posted 2 months ago by Zara Ahmed
-  3.  My portable jump starter won't turn over a 3.5L engine—did I buy the wrong amp rating?Backstory: my SUV with a 3.5L V6 sat for two weeks in freezing temps and my portable jump starter wouldn’t crank it. The unit claims 1000A peak and I charged it to 100% the night before. I cleaned the clamps and tried three times, but it just clicked and the lights flickered. Not sure if my model is underrated for this engine or if I’m using it wrong. I’ve seen CCA numbers thrown around and it’s confusing vs “peak amps.” I’m trying to keep the budget under $150 but I need something reliable for winter. How do I match the right amp rating, and are there signs my current pack is failing?Posted 2 months ago by Samantha Edwards
-  4.  Will this OBD2 scanner read ABS codes on a 2012 Toyota Camry?I want to confirm it can read antilock brake and airbag codes not just engine codes, on a 2012 Camry. Need to know before I BUY since returns are a hassle in my area.Posted 2 months ago by Zara Ahmed
