I've been waiting for this since you did the D7. I AM AN ADVANCED DIY MECHANIC, and have been going crazy trying to figure out what my next tool will be. My Bosch 1300 served me well, but it's time to go bi-directional. It's mind-boggling. The manufactures, the models, the levels, the upgrades... there's no end to it. I don't want to cut myself short and I don't want to pay for stuff I'll never use. I drew my line at the J-box. I'm pretty much down to the D8 and the Thinktool Pros... which will soon be replaced by the Thinktool Master2. But if I go with that, then there's the question of who to buy it from. It's a shady world out there. Thank you for all you do. You're a beacon in the dark.

[@paulgould9265]

I ended up with the Topdon Phoenix Plus. It's been a great tool. I paid just over a grand. This tool has taught me a lot. Mostly, how little I actually know. Now that I'm learning I see how important a scope is, so that's next. I'll probably go with Topdon again because I now trust the quality and they seem to be the most affordable. I don't make a living with these tools, so I feel like these are the top end of the DIY scale and bottom of the more advanced equipment. Kinda crazy to spend more for tools than I do for my vehicles, but I enjoy doing this stuff. Eventually I hope to make it a lucrative hobby and at least get something back. Good luck.

[@Chitown388]

I can see a D7 and D8 would be able to help a great deal. I started deep into car diagnoses when I got a chronic, dreaded CHECK VSC error on the dashboard. That took me into MAF, throttle body, short-term and long-term fuel trim, air-fuel ratio, fuel injection system, fuel vapor canister, fuel cap, upstream and downstream O2 sensors, catalytic converters, etc. Then that took me into all the potential tests and fixes for each of those components, from smoke test to fuel injection system clearn, paint thinner in the gas tank, etc. A simple $30 bluetooth OBDII dongle did help a great deal to pinpoint a specific error codes and idenfying potential fixes. Due to the limited BT bandwidth, the live data analysis can only be done with low fidelity and therefore, harder to pinpoint the problem.

@@zaiks0105 yes, I did! The problem was a combination of a bad fuel cap, a broken downstream O2 sensor, and a pin hole exhaust leak at a rusted exhaust flange that's adjacent to the downstream cat. The rusted exhaust flange is a well known problem for my Lexus. Each problem was discovered incrementally throughout the 18mos drama. The biggest headache was the exhaust leak; three different shops tried welding to plug the leak but each time only fixed the problem temporarily. Thanks to a Chris Fix video, my DIY $10 JB Weld fix is lasting over a year, so far. BTW, the permanent fix is to replace the cat and the exhaust pipe that are connected together.

I am an advanced DIY mechanic. Had been holding off on purchasing the D7 as my new scan tool for this review and am glad I did as the features I was concerned about are covered on the D8. Been a big believer in Toyota since our family 93 Camry turned 780,000 before one of my sisters got into an accident that totaled it. I'm even known as the Toyota guy in my area since I have a few and convinced most of my friends and family members to make the switch as well; although because of this I was somewhat volunteered to maintain and repair them all including some other makes. I definitely don't mind as I've enjoyed working on cars since I was 13 and the added revenue from time to time is always nice. I'll wait to see if I come up with a little luck on the raffle but looks like the D8 checks all the boxes and will be my next scan tool. Thanks again for your thorough review AMD it was greatly appreciated!

The tool arrived today and after charging, updating and reading the instructions (seriously) I plugged in to my car. Did the full autoscan and sure enough code 38 popped - LH seat belt buckle failure. When I clicked on that it gave me written and KZbin solutions. Amazing! I already knew it was going to cost nearly half what I paid for the tool just to have the dealer connect their SMS. Also, one of your “cons” was the combined length of the OBD2 plug.

Thank you for this video. I have a 2013 Nissan Maxima. It will start up fine and no noises while idling. All interior light, locks, power seats, heated seats, sunroof ect all work fine. All exterior lights, & power mirrors ect work great. The start push button works and starts the car. I can move the gearshift out of Park and put it into Reverse, then into Neutral and then into Drive. The gearshift moves smoothly, into the different gears, but the car doesn’t respond at all to any gears. When I put it into drive and give it some gas, it doesn’t go forward, when I put it in reverse and give it some gas it doesn’t go backwards. I needed to put the car in a parking space and even if I put the car in drive or Neutral and have some people behind the car pushing it, it will not move , it seems to be locked up and I don’t have the parking brake on, or my foot on the brake pedal. It’s like it’s still in park. No matter what gear I move move it to. I read online that the 2013 Nissan maxima has transmission problems. I also read that the transmission can go into a lock mode and you have to do a release or reset. Do you have any knowledge of that or anything else I can troubleshoot, before I have to have it towed to an auto shop. I would like your advice on which scanner I need for a Nissan Maxima, because, I want some idea of what’s wrong with it, before I have it towed to the shop, since I’m a 62-year-old Grandmother.

I am an advanced DIY mechanic. I enjoy working on my Toyota vehicles and think this would be great. Does the D8 have the ability to evaluate individual cells on Toyota hybrids? Awesome videos, please keep them coming - and keep that new Camry hybrid’s filter clean!

[@TheCarCareNut]

Hi! It can show you the voltages for each cell similar to techstream

[@xtooltutorials]

Yes, it can.

I am an advanced diy mechanic, one setting I want to change on my 2019 Tundra crewmax trd off road is that I leave my head lights on auto and when I reach my destination very early in morning some times I have to wait for some time. As I shutoff the engine and have my key in accessory mode as I am listening to radio, the lights are ON for forever, they don't shut off until I take my keys out and lock the truck. They should shut off when in Accessory mode. May be I can change this setting!

[@HitsInSandbox]

Well they are listening to the right person for improvements.

[@are-you-ready2518]

Would be good idea for viewers to know comparison between base A30 and BlueDriver which are both close in price thus direct competition.

[@xtooltutorials]

Base A30 can scan all available car modules for codes, live data, freeze frame, ecu info, do bi-directional controls and 5 service resets.

2:25 - I took the "stuffing" out of my D7 box and put the top piece in the bottom so the D7 unit goes in the bottom and thus doesn't fall out when I open the box

[@WJHandyDad]

also subbed to your channel. You seem to have a good personality that comes through when talking about these products

[@chrisharmon2494]

I am a Advanced DIY mechanic, I recently programmed my own TPMS for my winter tires here in Chicago using the xtool tp150. Im considering buying the D7 to reprogrammed my wife 2016 Rav4, both key fob keyless entry are not working, I called toyota schaumburg where I bought the rav4 and I quoted 300 dollars to reprogram my key fob. I worked and maintained 4 car in total, my 2016 rav4, my dad 2016 camry special edition not a regular SE trim, my little brother CRV, my recently acquired 2021 Corolla Hatchback Special Edition build and assembled in Japan and only 1500 units were produced worldwide. I torn between getting the D7 and D8. I know its sounds silly that Im buying such an advance scan tool just for Key fob reprogramming but I wanna learn more. I can do basic job like control arm and CV axle R&R, complete suspension overhaul, installed a invidia cat back exhaust system on my old lexus IS350 fsports by myself, wheels bearing R&R on my dads camry, I think next step for me is to learn more about advance scan tools. Learn to operate and make the most out of it.

Love your videos and thanks so much for offering up one for a giveaway! One of your subscribers will benefit from this greatly! I am an advanced diy mechanic wanna be. Will be taking an automotive class this spring at our local vocational school to learn even more about diy auto repair than what I already do and can’t wait.

[@jamescameron87]

I am an advanced DIY mechanic and am a big fan of your channel. These videos were definitely a big contribution to us getting a new RAV4 Hybrid XSE in November. Thanks for all that you do!

[@neogator26]

Exactly what I needed to know. I think I’ll start with the A30M and go from there. I may get the 8D later. I’ve used high dollar scanning software like CAT electronic technician snap on notice ultra but I know very little about consumer scan tools. Thanks for the review!

[@ricardotrujillo5106]

Good day my friend. You have to be a super mechanic, all of the comments here read, “advanced DIY mechanic “, just joking hehehe. I’m still learning after having 19 years of experience selling auto parts and now 20 years as a truck driver; just turn 60 yesterday. Never late to learn something new. Great video and knowledge given, blessings.

[@paulcoles9163]

very professional videos there .love that camry of yours , one thing I noticed was the Lift you use in your own garage ,, would love to know what make it is , would make life easier for servicing etc
