Foxwell 809BT Updated Wireless Bidirectional Automotive OBD2 Diagnostic Scanner Review & Testing

[@davidsmith5766]

I just got one of these I run a shop bought it because my snap on Zeus updates are so pricy I can live with the smaller screen Im going to use it for a couple months the foxwell did great today when I was watching wheel speed sensors to diagnose a ABS problem

[@ModernDIYProjects]

It's a good unit. After using it a few times, the only thing I don't like about it is that it's slower in scanning than other scanners that I have.

[@AnowZanaw]

Sould be have for every vehicle

[@mdli6765]

does the nt809bt program fob keys? if yes how it does it? Thank you.

[@brucechou8553]

Does it support suspension calibration

[@angelnavarro1825]

The reason why I ask is because I'm looking for a new scanner and this one looks promising what u think

Is it like the Autel 808 ?

[@ModernDIYProjects]

It may have similar features but the programming is different. I have both and Foxwell and Autel and the two go about their scanning a very different way. It comes down to which system you prefer.

@ModernDIYProjects which one do you recommend? That seems to work the best or do the most for the money

[@ModernDIYProjects]

That is really hard to say. The Foxwell generally gives you longer (more years) free updates when you buy it. The Autel is a bit more stingy on updates. Didn't give me any free updates when I got it. I just got the initial year. The Foxwell seems to run scans a little slower than the Autel. But they both do good scans when they get there. The Foxwell seems to do more updates more often. The Autel doesn't do updates as often. I can't tell you why this happens, but that has been my experience.

@Modern DIY Projects Is the model: NT809TS better then the 809BT?

[@ModernDIYProjects]

I don't think there is any differnce.

[@williambyrnes4198]

The difference is the 809TS allows for TPMS that the BT does not.

[@mazenaloumare4640]

I have the new model nt1009 It can scan all unit except engine The problem is not reading engine controller My car w220 mercedes Any suggestions

[@ModernDIYProjects]

You probably need a special cable to hook up to it. Mercedes is funny that way.

[@kunfox23]

Can i resat also for check engine if is show in screen

[@ModernDIYProjects]

Yes, you can clear all trouble codes with the scanner

[@kunfox23]

@@ModernDIYProjects thanks a lot boss

[@vorenmarket6147]

Is it possible to measure the acceleration of a car from 0-100 km/h?

[@kiligan1]

Yes

[@angelnavarro1825]

Do u think is better than the maxi mx808 scanner

[@ModernDIYProjects]

That is a tough question. They are both very good scanners, and have really good features. The Autel is a really great scanner but gives you less free updates and also costs more IIRC for the updates. I don't think you can go wrong with either one really. It depends on what you intend to use it for and what features you are most interested in. That will be your deciding point. You may want to also consider scanners from Xtool. I have reviewed a few of their scanners and they give you a lot for a good price. Check out the playlist I have on my channel with a bunch of different scanners that I have reviewed.

[@anguiano57]

will it work on a 2002 Dodge Dakota 3.9L

[@ModernDIYProjects]

Yes, all 96 and newer vehicles with OBD2

[@arnelfabian1036]

Where to buy

[@ModernDIYProjects]

Did you listen to what I said in the video? Hmmmm?

[@gilbertvillarido7610]

I got nt809 i put password and forgot now i cant used it any advice to retrieve this password

[@ModernDIYProjects]

Go to the Foxwell website and do a password reset

[@gilbertvillarido7610]

​@@ModernDIYProjectsit's a lock screen password sir

[@ModernDIYProjects]

Can't help you with that, but Foxwell may have a solution. Send them an email or I think they have forums at their site. Can't recall. But this is why I never put a Screen password on my scanners. But then again I don't work at a shop, just my own use.
