Hello, I am also using this product. I recommend the AD500S device. The overall function will be more complete than the 500, and the experience will be better. This is a video I made to introduce the functions of AD500S: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4WseaJ3e9KhfrM , share it with you here, you can refer to it. If you are interested, you can click to take a look, or give me your opinion. There are more videos on my homepage of using different devices to do different functions of the car. You are welcome to follow me and I will be happy to answer your questions. thanks.

So which to choose TOPDON ArtiDiag500 or ThinkScan Plus S4 TOPDON there is no more money needed but ThinkScan appears to offer more selectable option but still no EPS either but at a yearly cost.
@RANDOMFIX2 жыл бұрын
I think the plus s4 as the you don't have to buy anything unless you want to. If you can pay a little more, look at the Mucar vo6 as it exact the same product as the thinkcar or thinkscan mini but includes lots of the resets you will have to pay for on the S4 or S7 and there is a special promo on my video that expires by the 15th. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJXMf2eupM9gabs good luck.
@RANDOMFIX2 жыл бұрын
I say the thinkscan plus s4 or s7. If you pay a little more, watch my video on the Mucar vo6, it's a sub brand of the thinkcar (same thing) and there is a promo price of $315 instead of $450+ but it includes it all and is Bluetooth and a great unit. Mucar also has the Cs4 which the same as the thinkscan plus s4 but you maybe able to get a better deal.

@RANDOMFIX Жыл бұрын
You can checking the reading from each and sensor if a hard set code is present to find the faulty sensor. I’ve discovered that most abs sensor will last a very long time but may not perform well if magnetized metal sticks to them. So try to just remove all the road debris and gunk from the sensor before replacing.

I just bought this and I'm hoping it's better than what I have now. I haven't used it yet, but I did charge it up and updated it. My problem with it is the update took forever. It downloads really slow! I have fiber here and it's like lightning, but this was slow. Not a big deal, but I think it could be faster. My other issue that I was hoping to solve with this video, but didn't, is one of my updates said to install manually. There's no directions on how to do that. It downloaded the update, but I don't know how to install manually. The manual of course is useless. I tried pressing it, double tap and long press and nothing happened. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks
