Very interesting! I have a 2011 Chrysler town & country van. Will this scanner support transmission relearn? I had to replace the valve body and some transmission solinoids. KZbin recommends a transmission relearn after the parts changes.

[@RANDOMFIX]

I have the same van and I used this instead and it worked kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4DGY4eDmaqEn7Msi=2x3TT8lJS0KSkqtJ I actually show in the video on how to do it. My transmission jerk is now gone!

Think I just found my new scan tool super informative and helpful review THANK YOU 🙏

[@kingchitombo4614]

Hello, I want to purchase that tool for my hybrid vehicle repair shop. Currently, I have not seen anyone using the HV battery special function on the XTOOL IP919 series. I hope you are able to help me. Thank you.

[@danhorsam2106]

Hello King In your research have you come across a scan tool that works best with hybrid cars? Specifically analysis on both batteries. Thank you

[@milanbelic2513]

Good day mate. I'm looking to buy a used car in Europe. The problem is that most cars there have fake mileage. I don't know which car yet. If you can tell me which scanner ( which can I buy In Australia ) , can read the right mileage from the largest number of the cars. Thanks.

[@dporrasxtremeLS3]

Interesting! I did not know about speedometer settings could be changed to alter the vehicle milage legally to alter a vehicle history.

[@RANDOMFIX]

Sorry I just saw your comment, the best scan tool for detecting false odometer readings is this kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4DGY4eDmaqEn7Msi=qvG1vILCdmiLmR-0

[@thinkingimpaired5663]

That's a useful diagnostic tool.

[@RANDOMFIX]

Very useful and still like all scan tools that cover so many makes it lakes a few features that some $50 softwares can do.

[@JunelPenetrante]

But how about j2534 pass thru?

[@aam5988]

Im confused what the difference between ip919 pro and d9s pro?

[@RANDOMFIX]

Hardware and software

[@djwdeaf]

How does the functionality of this tool differ from the D9 Pro???

[@RANDOMFIX]

The menu system is the same but it offers some additional functions. It shows the difference on the Amazon link I provide with a visual graph.

[@404notfound.....]

This looks more then a diy tool. I have have one of the top autels. BUT it does not retrieve pin codes. Excellent video!! 👍🏻

[@johnny4713ify]

First off, thank you for reviewing this tool since it's pretty new. I'm on the fence between this one and the newest Launch X431 Pro 3 Ace Elite. Apparently, the newest X431 is the top international unit. From what I'm reading and watching videos, the Launch units sold on eBay and Amazon are not supported in the US because the software they are running is not for the American market. This is why they are much cheaper than going through US dealers, plus the naming convention used on the US models is different. Some people have reported issues with these units not being able to perform the functions they claim to support for their particular vehicles. The only support available is China-based, which can be a nightmare. This new Xtool seems to have the same tools, but the Launch units have cool features like a toolbox library where you can download actual service manuals and step-by-step instructions for repairs. I'm not sure if the Xtool has that feature. My main question is whether Xtool runs promo deals on update packages. I believe you get three years free, then it's around $350 anytime you want to update your tool. I appreciate any feedback. Thanks.

[@RANDOMFIX]

I just reviews another launch product and honestly, they are not a good as the newer Xtool products. For example on launch the tool could not perform a basic key fob programming and overall it was harder to navigate. With Xtool your get the three years and afterwards you don’t need to renew as the unit keeps working but you won’t get new updates. The year will be 2027 and honestly there is a pretty good chance that you won’t be working on 2026 or 2025 vehicles. Good luck on your purchase. The only companies that match Xtool quality currently are Topdon and Autel.

[@johnny4713ify]

@@RANDOMFIX Yah I've seen others say the same about some Launch tools having a hard time with keys. I do remember when Topdon had first come out they offered lifetime updates on the flagship scanner, but that quickly changed to a subscription based like everyone is doing now. The Autel is good, but more pricey. I have been using the Xtool A30M dongle which is great, just I want a more powerful unit. BTW I tried the Amazon link you provided, but it's out of stock. I'm leaning more towards this Xtool since I'd get an extra year of updates saving $350. Question you don't have to pay extra money to access and download that function like the Launch correct? I do know you have to purchase a separate xtool key programming hardware separately. Hopefully all the capabilities are free to use on this unit without having to pay to unlock the features. Please let me know if you have an idea when it will back in stock. Thanks again

[@gaewing]

What are the subscriptions pricing after 3 years. When will it be back in stock? Is the vehicle wiring included? Does it monitor service intervals? Does it provide component locations and specs on system things like gasoline pressure.

[@johnny4713ify]

@@gaewing I've been waiting for it to be restocked so I can check the price. I've seen them on eBay for $1,299 or best offer, but not on Amazon. From what I understand, updates for the D9S Pro cost $358 from Xtoolglobal, but who knows what the price will be for this model in three years? I'd rather save $350, give or take, for that one extra year before upgrading. With Launch, after two years, you're spending $450 with their current yearly subscription on the top-tier Launch X431. If you're someone who always wants the latest and greatest software every year after your free updates expire, it might make more sense to just buy a new scanner every two years, since you'll essentially be spending the same amount by upgrading every year. Yes, it does come with a variety of connectors and allows you to save and track data. However, unlike the Launch, it doesn't have the feature where you can download the 'service manual' directly, which includes step-by-step instructions, specs, and component locations. I'm not sure how in-depth they get, but I really like that feature. Of course, you can always get that information from Identifix for $25 or Alldata for $19.99 a month for one vehicle, but it would be great if it were included at no extra cost. Maybe Xtool will incorporate that in the future. 🤷‍♂️ Please let me know if you find a good deal on this. 👍🏻 Thanks.

[@dporrasxtremeLS3]

@@RANDOMFIX Thanks for the Update! Liked and Subscribed way back!

[@cardetailingpassion1514]

Hi, is this same as D9S PRO with better hardware?

[@RANDOMFIX]

The Ip919 pro has better hardware. D9s pro has only 4 gigs of ram and no fca but there is more than just that. Look in the official Xtool site for proper information as I don’t want to mislead you. I haven’t used the d9s pro.

[@jennyvlog4624]

can scan 24 volts heavy trucks or 12 volts only?

[@RANDOMFIX]

I think this is only for 12 volt. You are looking for a hd scan tool. Out of curiosity what do you own that is on 24 volt?

[@mmorin1986]

Would this make me a 2013 Mini Cooper key?

I haven’t tried the mini key but I would email customer service your vin number and ask.

sounds good!

Why do you use your scanner upside down?????

Because it still worked. Auto rotate = happinesses.

It doesn’t come include but I know Xtool makes a scope.

Thank you for your feedback, I have never heard of that brand for the Latin market. Good to know.

[@hovingtonkirst672]

1300 bucks kids

Yeah it’s not chump change

[@mvalentine5174]

That's one of the better deals running IMO with all the features

[@tonywhite425]

WHAT 50 bucks to get dodge info wtf an its 1500 bucks blah blah its crap

[@RANDOMFIX]

The $50 fee is autoauth not from Xtool but there are cables that can buy to avoid these fees called fca 12+8 bypass cables. You need to buy the Xtool brand bypass cables as the generic version do not work with this scan tool.

I have this tools and is garbage don’t buy it 😢

Thank for sharing your experiences. What specifically don’t you like?

What makes u say that? Wne how much did u use it to come to that conclusion? What did u use it on?;

[@jamiefahey8702]

No support for GM or Dodge? I was thinking of getting this instead of my D1 pro but idk

[@johnny4713ify]

I’m curious to know why you’re saying that. I actually have the Xtool A30M dongle, and it’s pretty good for what it is. It has worked for early 1999 up to 2022 Ford, GM, Toyota, VW, Honda, and Subaru vehicles I have scanned. Some of its bidirectional capabilities are impressive. I'm still considering picking up this pro model, but I also have my eye on the Launch X431 Pad 5 Elite, and maybe the Pad 7 if it drops below $2,000 during Black Friday.
