Fair point, but fixing the dash odometer is fairly easy but fixing it also in all the other locations where the info is stored is not and less likely to be done, That is the information I have gleaned from limited research so far anyway, plus I will need a system for checking fault codes and other issues so it may as well include this function. I just found a video as it happens where this process is done and is part of a series OBD2 scanners for complete beginners. If anyone is interested this is the title of the youtube video you could search on "OBD2 basic Part 1: Which OBD2 scanner to buy?" In the video he appears to be sat in a Toyota while he does the rollback check using the 'Thinkdiag2' scan tool. Video position 2.25 ????

Thanks for the replies and links????. It will most likely be for a Toyota so I guess I will need to contact the scanner companies and check if this information will be accessible with that brand. From some early research I understand the actual mileage is stored in quite a few different places in the vehicle it's just if your scan tool can access any of them. This one: the THINKCAR SD6 Scan Tool or the lower version was quite highly rated on some youtube review videos , I think they do both android smart screen standalones and bluetooth phone options and not too pricey but with those youtube reviewer people, they all have affiliate links to make money so it's hard to know who to believe. Anyway thanks again for the responses. I will start trying to contact the manufactures first and see what they say. The scanner has to display mileage, the other stuff is great but it seems mileage fixers are so easy to get and use now and there is no actual law against doing it in Thailand. Cheers Lando

Hi, I am trying to find a plug in tool to let me find out the actual mileage of a used car vs what is on the clock as it may have been tampered with. I am in the market for a used car here in Thailand and I see many scanners for sale but can't seem to find one that says it does that actual job, does anyone know if the $100 ones will do this like the BlueDriver OBDII Scanner for example. hope you can help, Lando????
