F97POTI2 doesnt seem to work anymore

[@TheImhunter2]

Strong work on your videos!! Excellent pace, camera work, detailed info about the products and procedures. Never apologize for being good at what you do. Appreciate your unbiased expertise. Guess I've become an Old Guy now but I'm sure some guys other than me appreciate NOT hearing excessive profanity when we're trying to become informed. Great work!

[@RANDOMFIX]

Thank you so much for the kind words and I am glad to hear the video was informative. Much appreciated

[@luckyguy600]

I have 3 X-tool devices and am happy now with all 3. 1 bidirectional, 1 Japanese vehicle's only. and a new IP 608 tool. Good service if I have an issue anytime.

[@RANDOMFIX]

awesome thanks for sharing!!

[@markyakubovsky3380]

Great review Man.. I just ordered the D8s. Can't wait! I am a DIY guy so I think this one will be good for me..

[@RANDOMFIX]

Glad to hear that you liked the d8s video and congrats on your new scan tool.

[@don.timeless4993]

i was looking to get D9S but it have 6500mAh battery with bigger screen & that mean the battery will not last long without charging! while the D8W 10000mAh with small screen & i was disappointed! thats was really weird for me! but still D8 is a beast. Xtool nailed it with their tools awesome features & subscription & prices! i bought D8W & it's in the way. 37

[@RANDOMFIX]

Enjoy your new scan tool and thank you for the great feedback and welcome to the channel.

[@ysitrim88]

Excellent review 😊 I have the regular D8 and i like it a lot.

[@RANDOMFIX]

That’s awesome, the d8 is a great tool

[@DD-gd3fr]

You did fantastic! I really like this tool. I'm very excited got one coming.I Will let you know if the power switch has been fixed. Big thumbs up ya.

[@RANDOMFIX]

Thank you so much for great feedback about Xtool video and I’m looking forward to your update about the power switch fix.

[@apetro8895]

Great review. I Just received my D8W. Wifi direct, not bluetooth. The bluetooth version 'BT' is slower than W. I'm a long time DIYer and have been researching advanced diagnostic tools for YEARS. Look no further than the D8W. It is outstanding in many ways and the cost and even the subscription after the first 3 free years is much lower than anything comparable out there. Other devices in this price point are inferior.

[@RANDOMFIX]

Yes the Xtool brand is offer a great product with lots of extras including the 3 year of updates. Enjoy your d8w. I have not tried any Wi-Fi Direct tools yet.

[@LandonChapman]

Is the WiFi module the only difference between the D8s and D8W?

[@apetro8895]

​@@LandonChapman The interface/look & feel is updated on the W. Looks much better. If you're going to buy one, get the W.

[@apetro8895]

​@@LandonChapmanThere is one other thing I considered. I am fairly certain you can power up the device with a cable to the ODB2 port on the BT. This cannot be done on the W as there is no port at the top of the device. Wasn't an issue for me.

[@LandonChapman]

@@apetro8895 The 8W interface is updated from even the 8S model?

[@JUSTINMARTINEZ-e6b]

Appreciate you !! I'm ready to get the d 8 s xtool

[@RANDOMFIX]

Enjoy and good luck with everything

[@SSBryanXInfinity]

Guys because xtool has changed so much over the year, where do you recalibrate/reset new fuel injectors? I can not find it. I'm sure Injection coding is not the one. And if it is, it fails to communicate with Volkswagen Tiguan 2009

[@amiralshoq]

Perhaps the manufacturer of DX8 abandoned support for it and released this version to cover the shortcomings. Many of the features in the previous version make you frustrated because you are unable to complete it despite their presence in it.

[@RANDOMFIX]

Good feedback and yes they should offer a free upgrade to new user interface.

[@luckyguy600]

Doing good buddy. Keep it up.

[@RANDOMFIX]

Thanks, will do!

[@lordofrings59]

Hello there, what functions are restricted if you don't renew software subscription in the future? Will it have bidirectional function and others? If you could kindly explain it to me by please. Thank You.

[@RANDOMFIX]

Just updates will be blocked from my understanding. Please email the vendor before buying and confirm with me if that is the case as I understand your concerns and want to make sure I am telling it right. Thank you 😊

[@eso1666]

Does this tool calibrate the blind spot monitor for the 2021 Camry SE?

[@RANDOMFIX]

I have tried but it sounds like the blind spot monitor is part of the Adas systems. I would email Xtool and send your vin. Just so you know for Adas calibration you sometimes need specialized parts. Here is reallly good video that can help you visualize how much works is involved even with the right scan tool kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3m5mYGJYsSpjNEsi=jvnLIHOiOcVdMd0I

[@jamesmichael8549]

Do you have to pay every year in order for this OBD reader to work ? If you dont pay does that still work ? Do you need to have internet to used it ? If you don't updates does that still work without updates ? Out from the box can you used it without wifi or internet ? Can this scan for Fuel Pressure ? And can this scan for compression test ? Is this a Complete diagnostic Scan tools ?does it Scan from 1996 cars going up ? How about Toyota Camry 2001 2.2 Liter 4 Cyl or Buick Park Ave 2003 3.8 Liter does it Scan these cars ? Does this scan for battery ignition parameters ? Does it Scan for a bad head gaskets ?

[@RANDOMFIX]

It works on your vehicles your mentioned and you can use it even if the updates expire. There is no real scan for a head gasket but yiu may get a misfire code for a cylinder that can help figure out it’s a head gasket. I answer most of the other questions during the video.

[@michaeltammaro482]

$200 annually after 3 years UNLESS you're a Mechanic working on DIFFERENT vehicles daily, is INSANE. That's a lot of money.

[@RANDOMFIX]

It will keep working even if don’t renew. You just won’t get updates.

[@WIZEMART]

It’s very nice of XTOOL company to let their customers to use it after expiration at least you can use it. - Because AUTEL money suckers once updates expires - *WILL erase all data from tablet lol. Ya MUST PAY TO CONTINUE TO USE IT ISH…*

[@boydlittou9446]

You will probably have to send them pics of the on button before they know what your talking about. I dont have much luck explaining things to them.

[@RANDOMFIX]

I sent them a video showing the issue.

[@shawnhudgins5848]

You mentioned it not displaying battery voltage and there was an easy fix. I am needing the voltage and found your video when searching how to find voltage information. Did I miss the easy fix? I did not hear you mention it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

[@RANDOMFIX]

I didn’t see the voltage on the display. Is there a fix for that? I think Xtool would have to make an update on their end if the Bluetooth dongle has has a voltage sensor built in,

[@ositoda8]

So is this d8s better than the d7s? Or should i get d7s?

[@RANDOMFIX]

I like both, the bigger displays makes the d8s nice but the d7s There is a wireless version of the d7s kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6DCoIRvr7hjaqcsi=UGtFKoD2X7O-gE5T I like the wireless version the best as it’s not Bluetooth and the range is really super and you can test components on the go with scanner in your hand instead of just being confined to driver’s seat. Enjoy 😉

[@arashfarahbakhsh8789]

Hi there According to your great experience about Xtool scanner,which one you recommend for odometer correction of most vehicles? Thank in advance 🙏

[@RANDOMFIX]

The d7s and d8s are okay for doing but hit or miss. My dodge is able to corrected but on my Toyota is not supported. But it does work for some Toyotas. If this a major concern email the vendor your vin numbers and ask for a list of supported features.

[@user-xd8ry5mr4c]

Does the D8S have mileage correction?

[@RANDOMFIX]

Yes and so does the cheaper version kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3yxoWWYe76WjKssi=J5hM5--X_4CBkeXr

[@bautistakhentlgieb.8873]

hellow sir which is the best launch or xtool?

[@RANDOMFIX]

Xtool

[@calvinpochinko4277]

Can you tell me if this tool supports 2004 - 2011 Mazda RX-8?

[@RANDOMFIX]

Yes it does support the rx8 and if you don’t need the big screen so does this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3yxoWWYe76WjKssi=70mTlzZZcrFuwvXm If you want to shave some $$$ Get the bigger screen if you are using it for work.

[@calvinpochinko4277]

So I take it the hearted comment is a yes ?

[@calvinpochinko4277]

​@@RANDOMFIXgreat thank you for your quick reply.. I do like the idea of the bigger screen

[@ratchetrdz9113]

I HAVE AN XTOOL EARLIER MODEL BUT WHAT I NOTICED THAT THEIR TECHNICAL SUPPORT TAKES AWHILE BEFORE THEY REPLY SOME TIMES NO REPLY WHAT SO EVERY, I BELIEVE THIS IS A DOWNFALL FOR THIS TYPE OF SCANNERS, I WISH THEY CAN IMPOVE THIS ISSUE! CUSTOMER SERVICE IS SORTA POOR

[@RANDOMFIX]

Thanks for sharing your experience about Xtool customer service

[@Ali_o.O]

How much does it cost for yearly subscription?

[@RANDOMFIX]

It comes with three years and I would personally it renew as the tool will keep working but you won’t get any more updates. Not need by most including me as my vehicles are more than 3 years old and if they are that new then they will have warranty

[@SilvexPhoto]

The power button is fixed. I just got one a week ago.

[@RANDOMFIX]

That’s awesome to hear about the power button being fixed. Thank you for the update

[@J0hnnyDee]

Thank you

[@RANDOMFIX]

You're welcome

[@playstation2bigs]

Is that true that xtools scanner can brick cars ecu ?

[@RANDOMFIX]

Two years ago they were really bad quality, but now they have made a great name themselves. I’m sure old xtool scan tools have bricked someone’s ecu but I’m sure other scan tools have too.

[@playstation2bigs]

@@RANDOMFIX buying D7S soon hoping it's safe for Toyota's ecu

@playstation2bigs if you have concerns email tech support first and send them your vin number and what you will be doing. Enjoy

Yes, this will work on a Honda Odyssey.

How does the record function work to record everything displayed on screen?

Similar like if you have a recording device hooked to it. Shows everything going on the screen. It is great for creating training videos and or sending it to tech support for troubleshooting.

too bad the code don't work and they don't make a Bluetooth version.

Use the links and buy, the Black Friday sale is better than before!! Enjoy

[@apetro8895]

For both the D7 and D8, they have 'BT' bluetooth version AND... a 'W' wifi direct version. I just received my D8W version. Don't bother with BT, spend a little extra and get the W. It is superior in transfer speed.
