Has anybody bought this who already owned a code reader. Did it provide any additional useful info?

No. Without the subscription you can only read and turn off your check engine light that's it. I don't know what turning off your check engine light is suppose to do for you because the problem is still there until you get it fixed. Paying a monthly or yearly subscription is insane. Remember this is only a Bluetooth interface between your car and your phone. You can always download another app from the app store, that's what I did. I downloaded an app called car scanner ELM OBD2 and it works just great and it's completely free. There are a lot to choose from at the app store. When you're trying to get it connected it will ask you for some kind of password or something which normally is either 0000 or 1234, I forgot which one of those I used.

Does this device/app seriously ask you for more money after you already bought it, in order to look up codes?

The IOS (Apple IPhone) app 'Car Scanner ELM OBD2' from the app store DOES work with FIXD. It did not ask me for a passcode, I did not have to give any identifying information and it did not hassle me for a subscription fee. (There are some advanced features you can pay for, and there is a small ad bar at the bottom of the screen while running the app). I was able to read a bunch of live data from my 2019 Ranger with very little setup, and was able to look at, and clear the 2 minor diagnostic codes it had. (I did not purchase the FIXD, it was gifted to me.)

Does it work with an iPhone?

The SmartPhone app (FREE download & no additional fees) works on Android or IOS (Apple iPhone) operating systems, but NOT on Windows based devices at present.

Can Fixd clear trouble codes and reset the light?

Yes! FIXD definitely lets you reset your check engine light. Once you scan your vehicle with the free FIXD App, you'll be able to see the codes present as well as a plain, English explanation then you'll also have the ability to clear your light.

Actually interesting product, thought it would be a bit of a gimmick but it actually does work really well ...it discovered and diagnosed several issues.. then cleverly itemise everything in detail fashion giving you an idea what it is from a "non-technical point of view" it also cleared my check engine light on my Volvo XC 90 however it does come back after 2 days.. so they gave me a detail Detection of a lean fluid mix and adjustment to the idle settings. However unfortunately didn't clear the seatbelt check airbag on the BMW118I and didn't find anything wrong with that vehicle... which was a bit weird, they wanted to pay $4.99 a weekly subscription or whatever a month and year... to utilise more detailed analysis info... I didn't find that necessary it does this job pretty well (free version) . I must say it is impressive little OBD reader probably the top end of these non-model specific company branded detailed torque unique readers. Can highly recommend but be prepared for the Pay to get unlocked some of the upmarket features but you can do a monthly subscription on my case a weekly subscription just to get the information you need for that particular week with a few cars very cost-effective, don't listen to the people that say it cost you a "yearly subscription" that's not the case you do weekly ...highly recommended – Andrew Australia

Decia que es un dispositivo que 'funciona' cuando el coche tiene algun aviso de error, mientras, el dispositivo no da información alguna...lo que pensaba que era extraño. Ahora, con un coche con problemas, este dispositivo que dice lo mismo, NADA. Como añadido, el vendedor ya no lo vende, se niega a reembolsar y el fabricante, que antes contestaba en horas, ya no contesta ni en días. Me da la impresión que he sido víctima del 'tocomocho' en versión americana. Espero que Amazon tome cartas en el asunto...
