[@SlipFitGarage]

@@torrez650 How would I know?

[@PanzerPlatform]

I got another ad for FIXD before this video plays. They should call it Diagnosing for Dollars, with Double Barrel Parts Shotgun. Lol -Chuck

[@SlipFitGarage]

LOLOL, I agree. The Double Barrel parts Shotgun...... That's pretty good!

[@PanzerPlatform]

Right on Brian, You are knocking it out of the park with these scan tool reviews. This looks like another good option. -Chuck

[@SlipFitGarage]

Thanks again, Chuck!

[@YashBajaj-uv2ur]

what you can tell me... that equipment doesn't show the mileage of the car... it's garbage

[@SlipFitGarage]

Have you tried more than one vehicle? Have you tried using generic OBD2? This is 100% dependent upon the year/make/model of vehicle that you're currently plugged into. What you see on the screen of the scan tool can and WILL be different every time you plug into a different vehicle. If you're still not happy, then simply return the device back to Amazon for a refund. They offer free returns....

[@gugigraubvogel4263]

Next time get closer to the unit............I don't see anything.

[@SlipFitGarage]

Yes, sir!

[@zw3245]

Hi, what is your préférence between xtool and foxwell ? : i talk about général future, quality and ergonomie, vehicle courage, not a spécial model in paticuliarity.

[@ianb3866]

Looks kinda slow compared to a D7, D7 seems more easy to navigate too. This looks like it has a couple more funtions than the D7

[@SlipFitGarage]

You're correct, they both have their pros and cons. Thanks for the comment!

[@christophermcgill39]

Has 1g Ram, horrible

[@SlipFitGarage]

@@christophermcgill39 I agree, 1 gig of RAM doesn't sound like much in 2022...... But keep in mind these Android scan tools are usually running much older versions of the Android operating system and when you consider what the task is, (it's just a scan tool) 1 gig of ram is probably more than you need. It's not like we're running the latest and greatest iPhone or Android device with tons of applications running in the background, or watching high res videos while scrolling through 27 different browser windows at the same time. The scan tool is just text on the screen, no pics or vids whatsoever. The scan tool software and it's software updates are relatively small data files. My first real desktop computer in the early 2000's had 512MB (half of one gig) and it worked just fine. When you run only the most basic of software, it doesn't require much hardware for it to run properly. My desktop computer today is a 24 core AMD Threadripper (3960) with 128GB of cl-16, 4 channel ram...... I rarely ever see my resource monitor go over 10-12 GB of used ram even when I'm rendering 4K video. My point? Even if the scan tool had more ram, that doesn't mean the software would USE more ram. It only uses what it needs regardless of how much ram is available. Thanks for the comment.

Got problem I forgot my password on nt809 bt. Any help what to can't open it now thanks

[@SlipFitGarage]

You should be able to request a password reset like you can with pretty much any other password protected account. I know I've personally had to do this with my NT809 so it can be done. You just need to have access to your email account that is associated with your Foxwell account. It might be easier to do from a PC computer rather than from the scan tool itself. Go to: www.foxwelltech.us/ and see if you can reset the password. It worked for me....

[@JuanLuna-hz1bg]

Can you look in to your 4x4 wheel drive with this scanner?

[@SlipFitGarage]

Yes. This scan tool will give you trouble codes and live data on ALL modules in the vehicle..... for OBD2 vehicles...... which is anything sold in the United States from 1996 or newer.

[@JuanLuna-hz1bg]

Just ordered it. It'll be here Saturday. Thanks for replying..

[@SlipFitGarage]

@@JuanLuna-hz1bg Thank you.... Enjoy the new scan tool.

[@Audi59]

Will this scanner do crank position sensor relearning on 2009 honda accord .. thankyou

[@SlipFitGarage]

Yes, I believe it should. However, I do not have a 2009 Honda to plug into to verify that options appears in the menu. Maybe a quick email to the Foxwell's customer service email address listed in the Amazon listing would verify either way, just to be sure. Thanks

[@djwilson48625]

What about Can-FD protocol? It's not listed. Buy a new adapter?

[@SlipFitGarage]

If Can-FD protocol is a must for you then I would probably consider a different tool. They really don't mention Can-FD capability with this tool.... At least not that I've seen anyway. Sorry.

[@404notfound.....]

I like the lay-out autel of the scanners much better.

[@SlipFitGarage]

They all have their pros and cons....... it really does come down to personal preference.

@@Robo.1776 $ 240 a year is peanuts...go see what Snap-on charges.

[@wyatt223]

Can u buy the Bluetooth adapter for the nt809 it says it's Bluetooth compatible

[@SlipFitGarage]

I have not seen the Bluetooth dongle sold separately. Maybe send Foxwell an email and ask them if they will sell it to you.... Thanks

[@race5050R1]

Excellent review. Thanks!

[@race5050R1]

Especially enjoyed the examples of bi-directional controls. Thx!

[@SlipFitGarage]

You're welcome. Thank you for the nice comments!

[@corystangle4677]

@brianok100 would you say the BT version is noticeably slower than the cord version?

[@SlipFitGarage]

No. There really isn't much difference. At least I didn't really notice a difference. Thanks.

[@harrisonstrubhart3669]

Can you relearn chevy sensors with this ?

[@SlipFitGarage]

Sensors? Which sensors on a Chevy are you asking about?

[@wiirus77]

it has air suspension callibration function?

[@SlipFitGarage]

Probably. It depends on what vehicle you're plugged into. If this scan tool is plugged into a vehicle that does NOT have an air suspension calibration function, then that function will not appear on the screen of the scan tool...... and since none of my vehicles have that function, I've never seen it. If you plug into your vehicle, than it will probably appear as an option. Keep in mind, the menus and options you see on the screen of any scan tool GREATLY depends on the vehicle it's currently plugged into. For example, if you're plugged into my 2006 1500 GMC truck and you study the menus and option on the screen of the tool, then 1 minute later you plug into a 2019 Honda Accord (for example) you're going to see 100% different menus and options... Nothing will appear the same, and nothing will be worded the same. So, to answer you question.... Does it have air suspension calibration? The answer is "probably". I don't even know the make and model of vehicle you're asking about. Not that it would matter because there is no way that I can memorize every feature and function on every year/make/model of every vehicle ever made. You could try the Foxwell diagnostic coverage list on the Foxwell website. It's a feature that lets you look up a specific make and model of vehicle, then look up a specific Foxwell scan tool and it should list every function available on the tool for that specific vehicle. I'm not sure if it's 100% accurate, but it will give you an idea. Thanks.

[@wiirus77]

@@SlipFitGarage thank you, what kind foxwell tool has callibration function?

[@727cpt]

How does this compare to the nt710

[@SlipFitGarage]

First and foremost, this one is Bluetooth wireless, and the NT710 is corded..... However, other than that I can not honestly answer your question because I've never had the chance to use an NT710. You could send a quick email to the Amazon seller, or to the Foxwell Support email address that I have listed in this video. Sorry I did not have a better answer for you. Thanks.
