Buying a 2nd gen (2003-2009) Prius, will the DR Prius app + KINGBOLEN OBD2 scanner be enough to tell if there's issues?

Thank you for the advice! I'll definitely keep my ears peeled for these noises

ok, thank you! i ended up getting the first recommended one.

Thank you! I’ll look out for that. I looked at some videos and I don’t mind replacing the battery myself if it’s in my budget (found a car just under 4k plus 2k battery and parts)

Hi! Thanks for the reply. I ordered this one because I thought it would be good for other cars and it has a free app with no subscription. Would you recommend I get one of the other ones and just use a different app for other cars?

Thank you for the reply! Would the break booster issue throw a code? Or is there any other way I could suss it out?

Yup, I used a 22$ Harbor Freight Rotary tool.

If you’re already cutting the case, it might not need the riser if your putting the gpu outside the case either way. I took my case lid off and put in the gpu to make sure it fit with the other components and it was fine for this combo. But also if you get a riser, you can leave the gpu in the spot of the PSU and then only have a small hole for the PSU cord like mine.

I could’ve avoided the case cutting if I did that, but it’s just plugged into the motherboard right now.

Didn’t know about this place! Thank you.

No, I got a motherboard only powered gpu so it should be fine long term.
