Works well, but the subscription model they have makes it not worth it. The scantool is great but it gets crippled if you don't pay every year. All in all, a good scanner, but pricing model will have most people looking elsewhere. Same thing with Mucar, its their junior company - exact same toosl rebranded. To be transparent, I own this scantool.

[@MechanicMindset]

Thanks for sharing; the subscription model is hard to avoid in this day 😅 I think for the features and updates for new vehicles it should be well worth it. It’s around $70/year right?

[@TheAceTroubleshooter]

@@MechanicMindset anyone who doesnt think that yearly charge is not worth it is the guy probably using it for the single car he owns lol

[@AutoDiagnosticsPK]

I am using it for past one year and enjoying its potential....never disappoints you, if you know it.....Best in its offered price

[@M.H.F23]

Great tool, I have this equipment for the last 4months

[@phildunnicliffe4530]

Great little tool easy to get printed reports for pre scan when cars dropped off live data's good bi directional control

[@MechanicMindset]

Perfect for things like that. Hope you’re good mate 👍

[@fernandoesquivel5211]

The engine actuations page has start/stop buttons at the bottom. You were rushing through it, so it was easy to miss.

[@MechanicMindset]

I’ll have to have another look, thanks! 😅 I did manage to get some to work on the BMW video we made after this 👍

[@modernageauto]

I've been using one for a while. I use it for pre-scans on most cars that come in, screenshot the results and attach the picture to the work order, all from an ipad. Makes it very easy to show customers scan results

[@MechanicMindset]

Great workflow! 👌 What other tools do you use?

[@modernageauto]

Snap-on Verus edge, Autel Ultra, Launch Torque and Pad 2, Bosch ADS 625, Topdon Ultradiag, Opus Drivepro, Autoland iscan 3, 4 laptops for OE programming, Pico and ATS scopes, … I could go on all day

[@MechanicMindset]

@@modernageauto Nice line up! Which is your favourite? 😬

[@modernageauto]

@@MechanicMindset Depends on the situation. Oh, and I forgot to mention the ATS Escan, which I use mostly for drivability diagnostics. For older--especially US cars--Snap-on. Most other things, Autel. Got the Topdon just to test out its capability and its pretty good. It also has key/immo functions, but I also have Autel IM508, KM100 , and Xhorse Keytool Max for that.

[@MechanicMindset]

@@modernageauto I like the Autel. Also got ThinkTool which is same as TopDon. Nice tools. Never really used the snap on 👍

[@donevinswartz627]

can you do a compare it with TOPDON can this diagnostic machine do injector coding

[@MechanicMindset]

@@donevinswartz627 It’s probably very similar. Yes it can do some injector coding; but this will depend on the car and not the tool.

[@nikik89]

I used it since more than 1 year. Very cool and good Diagnostic tool. Have all possibilities as original one from VW,BMW..... 👍🏻💪🏻

[@robertolaggo9141]

😂😂😂😂

[@fernandoesquivel5211]

BTW, is there any way to trace canbus faults with this tool?

[@MechanicMindset]

CAN bus requires other tools. Generally, if there is a can bus fault, you can communicate with the module/s

[@dinatarkteruz]

I bought an earlier version of this a while back to keep in the car, and it was actually alright considering what it is

[@gezdipz5425]

I have the original but wouldn't connect to my a4,good to see this does 👍🏻

[@selimsaffarini6198]

is that will work with Mitsubishi Outlander 2008y, 2.0 Did diesel ?

[@billwhite5853]

How does this compare to X Tools Anyscam A30m?

[@DesolationTech]

these are good but i personally wouldnt call it on par as something such as vcds etc...these are more consumer grade tools

[@MechanicMindset]

Great for quick checks, post repair delete and on road regens. Of course, a pro requires more from a tool but it’s quite impressive 👍

[@user-jz5zt9rh8e]

Хороший сканер! У него только один минус - это то, что без подключения к интернету не работает. Это очень не удобно. Есть места, где интернет не работает и приходится пользоваться другим оборудованием.

[@californiadreamin8423]

Transit Mk 7 brake pad wear light came on recently when I renewed all my pads. I turn my ignition on. All lights go out. 7 seconds later the wear light comes on. This tells me that the circuit is linked into the computer and that until I clear the fault on the computer , I will indeed find out that I have a circuit fault. Help me OB1.

[@SamHelsby]

You probably have a circuit fault if you have replaced the wear sensors.

[@californiadreamin8423]

@@SamHelsby Thanks Sam. I’m still investigating.

[@ivansperanza]

can you install it on a ipad??

[@davyarthurs]

Yep or android tablet of course

[@CadeBrazil]
