    Uh oh, i got this one cause it was recommended by DR Prius


    Still good or should I return

    Though I will say I've been using this one and I got the automatic headlight leveling system icon and warning while it was plugged in and in the app, so either i don't know how to use the reader correctly (likely) or it doesn't output a dtc for that

    The Dr Prius app is very limited on what trouble codes it can detect.
    Read the thread linked in post #2.
    The Autel AP200 is a good choice for a scanner. About $60 on Amazon.
