Merry Christmas Scotty ❤

[@wsaut]

Nice We have 2 Toyotas and 2 Lexus cars in our house

[@chipsawdust5816]

Merry Christmas to you Scotty

[@zeekbrickett8095]

Merry Christmas, Scotty and everyone else.

[@pH7screwtube]

The Scotty effect........ It now cost $169 minus $40 coupon. I have been using Techstream, but this might be worth adding to the toolbox. In the last 5 minutes is went from 14 in stock to 13........ Better hurry Toyota owners!

[@markbristol4924]

I bought my wife a Camry this year because of Scotty's Videos. We absolutely love the car. I just ordered the Launch scan tool off eBay for 106 bucks. It does more than my 5000 oops 500 dollar scan tool. Thanks Mr Scott

[@davehope9144]

I was pissed when then the auto companies started using proprietary software and my OBD scanner was useless. This is a God send that now I don’t have to run to the Dealer about and pay $100 every time the Check Engine light comes on

[@richsweeney1115]

There are 100 scan you could buy that will do plenty on almost any brand..id never pay a dealer to turn the check engine light off..

[@robvegart]

I sometimes wonder if they do it out of love... LOL!🤣 Now I see why electric vehicles are so a draw though they have their set backs. So much required with gas powered vehicles. The only thing, is that they are not envogue. I believe the gas powered vehicle needs to be rethought of, not in the traditional piston power either.

[@sarahprice9598]

Scotty thank U so much I’m 71 and have grown with ur info on dealing with my car and car problems,thank U,Hapy Holidays

[@metricmine]

Thanks so much Scotty. At this time, the 2024 version is $105 on Launch's eBay store. I was just about to buy a different scan tool costing hundreds of dollars more. As a DIY person, it was paining me to put out that amount of money, so I sat on it for a few days with the item in my cart. Then your video popped up on my youtube recommendations. This is exactly what I am looking for. Features galore, even ones only available on expensive scan tools, with low cost. As a DIY person who will not use this tool much, I wouldn't mind the slowness. This tool will allow me to learn more about my car.

[@LevelUpLegion727]

This information is so useful! I’m so glad Scotty finds products like these and shows them to us. 🙂

[@brianvogt8125]

Scotty doesn't find these products. They find him - hoping for good free publicity.

[@jdmforever5583]

I 💯%love when Scotty tests new tools for us👍

[@reiannaidoo]

Xtool A30M is the best bang for buck. Does all cars and all systems scan. Bidirectional testing as well. I would just put in the extra money and get it $200 or $180 on sale. I've got mine now for just over a year and i love the thing.

[@mrrobotto3321]

A30m is the best deal for sure

[@andrewross3293]

Merry Christmas from Scotland Scotty and thank you for all your hard work and dedication to your followers. You are an inspiration for sure.

[@stephenreiner1523]

You can't complain about it. It does one heck of a diagnostic software.Upgradable cool.

[@ThomasKing19933]

Merry Christmas Scotty, and Thank you for another year of wonderful videos.

[@MeMe-ze8dz]

I use a Creader eight, works on darn near anything and only set me back a couple hundred bucks new. Free updates. I bought it years ago, updated it free a few weeks ago. great for resetting things like airbags, abs, transmission as well as the usual things.

[@mattdonna9677]

I got a used Toyota Corolla for my wife today. I think it was a pretty good trade.

[@Alan_S_M]

You got the better end off that deal! 😉

[@Steve3851]

Merry Christmas Scotty always a pleasure learning.

[@Dakiraun]

Oooo - I really like the AMP-Hound 2; I like how they keep the setup and display simple (IE, they don't make it any flashier than it has to be). Think I might get one of those to help my father chase his seemingly never ending parasitical drains on his boat. Thanks Scotty!

[@mh6000]

elite scan tool - I bought one based on your review. sadly it was a bust! the unit would NOT download updates and there was NO telephone number for tech support. Sure wished it had worked.

[@CZ-kz7ug]

Ordered Amp Hound 2! Cant wait to start using it.

[@joemag6032]

3:03 that is a "divided by" or "forward slash" symbol, not a "7".----------- It reads "zero out of 285".

[@ocularpressure4558]

I don’t understand what does that mean? Cause I was thinking about buying this because I have a Tacoma and tundra. Could you please enlighten me I’m kind of struggling on this purchase.

[@joemag6032]

@@ocularpressure4558 I am simply referring to what was actually being displayed, as opposed to what Scotty said was being displayed. We all make mistakes, even Scotty, who knows about ten thousand times as much about cars and trucks as I do. Yes, it would be nice to have Scotty re-interpret the meaning of the display, knowing that no "7" was being displayed.

[@Betterworkplace-f2b]

I came here in say the same thing. So weird!!

[@imataylor8538]

I’m need for a good car I’m widowed I watch your videos and you seem to be a good mechanic and very honest why can’t you be a car dealer lol

[@TWillWin]

Man if you could buy a few of them starting out with the most popular vehicles you work on . Say Toyota, GM and Ford. A few hundred bucks and you have some great diagnostic capabilities

[@carlosk8103]

I bought one of these last few years companies have been coming out with these.. They are pretty good only caution I would give is some companies wanna nickle and dime you for functions and addition cost.. So make sure read review before buy..

[@renkhachatoorian302]

Another advantage of the manual transmission is no complex solenoids and no need for trouble shooting.

[@dewanehill1435]

Great video Scotty! I've seen you in the past test each cylinder. I think you checked the fuel going to each to see if any cylinder isn't firing out of range. Will this tool do this?

[@donaldstogner9518]

I programed an extra key for my Tacoma with it and one for my daughters Camry.

[@newttella1043]

Thank you, Scotty!

[@TheXenetiX]

Ive been browsing ebay for these recently and see they are very cheap. I will definitly get one for my Touran 04 2.0 tdi manuel car. I will also buy one for my parents Mitchubishi outlander! Lovely! Thanks for reviewing this tool! 🙏

[@richsweeney1115]

Or, you could spend $100 and get one one that will work on most car and truck brands...not just one

[@bradleyb7056]

That looked like 0/285. NOT 0 7 285 to me and left me confused on that point that was intended from that number Scotty. Did i misunderstand that part because i know that im am not the sharpest pencil in the drawer. ?

I had misfire problems with my Grand Prix this fall looked at hundreds of scanners on AMZN from 10$ to 250$. They all had 4.5+***** stars and tens of thousands of certified purchases! So I gave up and bought none, just way too many choices! My 10$ HF will have to suffice for codes, and borrowing from the parts store for more. Sorry! I really wish i had the time to find what i want and narrow it down. Nice review Scotty, but i still can't trust it, there's hundreds more all with great reviews too! (And what was with the whole ABS vs non-ABS scanner thing on AMZN? that's really confusing...)

[@samuelmoquete2025]

I have the honda/acura one and I love it

[@johnscreekmark]

You can buy a cheap $25 OBDII scanner to simply check and reset error codes. That's what most people use them for. AND they work with ALL cars that have OBDII.

[@tracysmith9934]

$90- 130.00 new

[@justingould2020]

Unless it's a VW, apparently. *grumble grumble*

[@luckyguy600]

Very good Scotty. Like you say/get one of each and leave them in the vehicle. You have them will you all the time. Price is pretty good too.

[@MCVOLKSWAGEN]

It's a nice stocking stuffer for sure

[@qcbtbx]

The amp hound is a game changer! Saves a ton in diagnostic time.

[@erintheangry]

Do an in-depth modern review of the bluedriver. That's the best one I have so far for low cost scanners. Your previous review is why I bought one but how is it holding up these days?

[@Bob_Smith19]

By far the best option if you have multiple makes. Isn’t a full can tool but gives you more than enough information for basic troubleshooting.

[@michaelburak1484]

Little confused.... Can't you do everything the Amp Hound does with a decent Multimeter?

[@shaunkatz9309]

Hi Scotty, I have a same one, It works well on my corolla 2012

[@Bill-tz3wg]

Scotty, you waiting for that slow device seemed like an itch you couldn't scratch. If only you could bump it and make it go fast right?

[@josemedeiros007]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Scotty. I have the BMW version of this brand scanner.

[@Overlander2022]

Thank you for sharing! Ordering now.

[@jamesbaker9383]

Thanks for the info.

[@billiebobbienorton2556]

How much does it cost? How fast is it? Thanks!

[@TheRealitarian]

It's $180 as of Christmas evening.

[@TrueSucrose]

I remember my dad did a deal with a company to test a new OBD2 scan tool while working. This was in 2009. He was told it was a $23k tool and to not attempt to fix it himself he probably used it 4 times and it was as slow as an old Hilux but it worked and was extremely accurate if the vehicle was made correctly And for it's time it was probably worth that but nowadays my dad has a tool that does the same thing hooked up to his dashboard 24/7 that he got for $80 and tells him his temperature, boost and air density outside the engine Edit: spelling

[@austinboba]

hi! what kind of device does your dad use now? cheers from california!

[@ronniepennington3025]

Merry Christmas Scotty. Thank you for the product reviews.

[@MrNoobed]

I got one of the bootleg volvo ones that came with the volvo software. It's a huge hassle everytime i start it though. I wish I'd spent $100 more for a complete used volvo kit

[@mengsong7554]

Does this one do Electronic brake? Meaning will it put the rear brakes of a toyota or Lexus in service mode to replace the brakes.

[@keltheb]

Will it do tire pressure monitor changes? Summer to winter tire changes are a pain because of different sensors.

[@98chicagobears]

does it check the transmission

[@OscarSanchez-s7x]

Thanks Scotty!

[@brianyoung4863]

Can you do ignition tests? Such as isolating each coil pack/cylinder to find a miss?

[@kingbolen_official]

Yes sir

[@genericusername1365]

Will a multimeter which also checks for amps do the same thing as the Amp Hound?

[@wesleyknox8687]

Hi there Scotty, really like your video's, so if I have a car with no heated seats, could I get a code reader activate this on my car then go out and buy all the hard where i.e. heated seat and install it so then it would work???

[@AwesomeCanadianHomes]

Do you still recommed the BlueDriver? I remember you praised that one a while back because it uses your phone and the company updates software often.

[@shanec4441]

Will that diagnostic scanner read headlight system malfunctions for a 2020 Toyota Camry? I’m getting that warning and it says to take it to a Toyota dealer. All my lights appear to be functioning and working properly.

[@ab75901]

Been looking at one of these for GM considering I own 4 gm vehicles only problem the one dodge that needs it more often 🤣

Every time the battery is charged/discharged, it incurs increased impedance at the graphite anode is largely contributing to the capacity fading of such lithium-ion cells.

I wonder how much a scanner can offload and benefit from being connected to your phone, does it or can it work like thay

[@TNTom67890]

I took a look at that scanner and out of curiosity can it actually do Keyfobs? If so that almost makes it free when you consider getting new keys.

[@kingbolen_official]

Yes, But we can not make sure if it can do keys on newer cars after 2020.

[@arminkowitz2726]
