i had mine for 4 weeks now, i recommend this product! No need to speend money on workshops! :P

[@AlexAutoFun]

Awesome! Yeah it's definitely a very capable scanner and I do see as an good investment that can save you money over time, Cheers Pernille!

[@jasonrbodie]

Great job with the overview man. Thanks.

[@AlexAutoFun]

You're welcome Jason and thank you!

[@unusedacct8833]

What an excellent review of what seems to be an excellent product. Please advise, for GM Terrain can I test the EVAP system by closing the Evap Solenoid and Evap Vent to seal the system to perform a smoke test with this scanner?

[@AlexAutoFun]

Thank you! Ah yes the scanner does support EVAP Test and solenoid control however actually being able to activate a specific component varies from car to car (vehicles have different levels of control, some allow you to active more things than others) Mucar does accepts VIN numbers if you want them to check if it will be able to access the specific function you need. Cheers!

[@renzvillaflor3509]

Can I still use the special functions(bi directional & ecu programming) after the free updates expires after 3 years?

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi Joel! Yes, the only thing that won't get is updates after the expiration date unless you choose to renew the plan. Cheers!

[@educationaltvshows9950]

​@@AlexAutoFunso mucar 07 better/cheaper than thinkdiag 2 !? In long run.

[@josericardobarreravazquez3631]

Great review, about the updates, what happens after the 3 years free updates, can I still use it as normal, or do I need to pay a subscription per vehicle?

[@AlexAutoFun]

Thank you Jose! Yes you can still use it, the only thing that won't receive if you don't renew is updates. Cheers!

[@nathanialjohn9125]

Great review, thanks. Would you know if it supports the same features as "Leafspy" for the Nissan Leaf? In the UK Nissan don't allow automatic locking of the doors when you drive away, Leafspy can be bought along with a dongle to change this. If I buy the V07s then will I still need Leafspy or will it do this functionality too? (I don't own the Leaf yet, I'm deciding what to scanner buy first as I need for other cars)

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi N! Ah unfortunately I have not tested the Leafspy so I can't comment on how it's performance or how it compares to the V07. While the V07 can be used to customize certain vehicle parameters and options, I strongly recommend against doing so to avoid issues down the road with functionality or warranty. Dealers can now detect if a vehicle has been modified or altered (even the vehicle is restored to it's original parameters). And they have often used this to deny warranty claims (even when seemly unrelated to the actual issue) Cheers!

[@richardhorvath8750]

What is the difference between this device and the Kingbolen K7? 😊

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi R! Unfortunately I have not tested the K7 so I can't comment on how it's performance or how it compares to the. I will see if we can add it to the list of scanners to review (list is getting longer by the day! LOL) Cheers!

[@bosquesdecolombia]

Good afternoon, to place the scanner in the vehicle, must the car be turned on?

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi Juan! To connect to your Car's computer, the car key must be on the "On" position or the car can be fully running. Cheers!

[@bosquesdecolombia]

Thanks@@AlexAutoFun

You're welcome!@@bosquesdecolombia

[@adams6798]

Does is put EPB on service mode when Changing the pads.

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi Adam! Yes the Mucar V07 supports brake servicing, you can see that module around the 8:00 mark. The EPB and ABS controls can also sometimes be found under the BCM controls (under the auto scan or manual scan option). However being able to activate a specific component varies from car to car (vehicles have different levels of control, some allow you to active more things than others). Mucar does accepts VIN numbers if you want them to check if it will be able to access the specific function you need. Cheers!

[@ifeanyiezeani8033]

Very comprehensive. Does it support key programming and programming of computer box

[@AlexAutoFun]

Thanks ifeanyiezeani! Yes, this scanner supports ECU coding and IMMO (you can see that function around the 8:00 mark) but the ability to add a key to your car will depend on the type of key (there are different transponders and frequencies), the year and model of the car etc. Also remember some cars allow you to reuse non virgin keys, and other cars won't (but this can sometimes be bypassed by a dedicated IMMO tool that can make a key virgin again). Cheers!

[@Mac-bn]

nice review, can it scan hilux 2005?

[@AlexAutoFun]

Thanks Mac! Correct, the scanner is able to scan Toyota Vehicles, you can see it during the vehicle coverage list around the 5:50 mark. Cheers!

[@manoj4866]

please can any one tell me how to do scan on toyota prius 1.5 , please help me

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi Mano! As shown on the video, you can use the Autosearch Scan or the Manual Scan option to scan your vehicle. Cheers!

[@krishnawagh721]

Sir i am from, india going to buy this tool, does this scanner support maruti swift, swift dezire, i20 smatra key programming etc in this month 4 cases come to me, does this function is free or have to buy from update, how much does it cost

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi Krishna! Ah yes the scanner supports both Hyundai and Suzuki models, you can see that when I show the vehicle coverage list at the 5:29 mark. I have placed the link to the scanner in the video description if you want to check current pricing (the price is often changing) Cheers!

[@thegrudzer4102]

Hi sir, i want to know will it still work with all cars after free update if i choose not to buy subscription or i will loose the car models and functions thanks

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi Grudzer! Yes, the scanner continues to work after the update period has expired, what you loose is the ability to update it and any advanced function that requires the scanner to connect to the Mucar servers (same as other large size Bi-Directional scanners). I think you are thinking about the Thindiag, on that scanner the scanner behavior changes after the subscription expires, here is my video where I explain what works and what doesn't kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2TPn5ttq76qjNk Cheers!

[@frenchwithmoufdi3776]

Gac gs8 is it available on this device ??

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi! You can see Trumpchi as a supported make during the coverage list portion of this review (feel free to use the chapters to jump to the section you want to watch) And I have more scanner reviews on my channel in the playlist "OBD2 Scanner Reviews" if you like to compare them. Cheers!

[@frenchwithmoufdi3776]

Many Thanks.

[@serbestlmbs7360]

Does it support nissan?

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi Serbest! Yes it supports Nissan. Cheers!

[@jittopeter884]

Hei bro, I tried to order from your link, and did payment. But they are asking some of my credit card detail and ID card for verification through email. Is it was same for you too?

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi Jitto! I normally use Paypal since it can pull from a Credit Card, therefore I feel like it adds a layer of protection since it goes thru Paypal first as opposed to your CC. That being said, if you order using your credit card, most offer fraud protection in case something happens (and some even offer extended warranties on the items purchases with it, I recommend checking your Credit Card benefits to see what your's covers. Cheers!

[@jittopeter884]

Thank you somuch

[@AlexAutoFun]

You're welcome Jitto!

Iam from Philippines what will i put at the countries?

[@renzvillaflor3509]

Does this scanner have a lifetime free update or just 3 years? 😊

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi Joel! As mentioned on the video, the scanner comes with 3 years of updates. Cheers!

[@renzvillaflor3509]

@@AlexAutoFun uhmm can you enlighten me more? 3 years of updates for? Bi directional and ECU programming only or the car manufacturer updates as well? Thanks! This is a big help!

[@AlexAutoFun]

​ @renzvillaflor3509 Hi Joel! Typically the updates on Bidirectional scanners, add support for newer cars, add new features that were previously not accessible to older models in some cases and provides system updates if any. Cheers!

Thank you for deleting my comment, it was actually an useful one.

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi Srecko! Try again bud, I do not see any comment come thru, sometimes the algorithm will autodelete a comment immediately after posting for various reasons we have no control of (long comment, comment with links or special characters, etc. and this happens so fast sometimes people think it was deleted by an actual person) Let's see if it come thru on the second time. Cheers!

[@slavric]

@AlexAutoFun Hello again. Sorry for thinking it was you. Actually I like the review and after researching for some time I found good price on AX. Oficial seller recommends for EU custommers shipping from China. This way it cost me with all discounts and a coupon code only 257€ for S version. It is shipped from the EU warehouse anyway, so you get it really cheap and quick. I'm working on Nissan Leaf battery cell swaps and I hope I can update the new SOH and reset charging counters. Will see after I get the product. Cheers to you too.

[@slavric]

@@AlexAutoFun Hello again. I don't know which word triggers the deletion, but my comment was deleted again. I'm sorry to think it was you. I'll try to post it again not as a reply. Have a great day.

[@AlexAutoFun]

Thank you Srecko and please let us know if the scanner was able to work with electric vehicles like the Leaf. Cheers! @@slavric
