I just got a 06 325i that sat for 2 years. And it has overdue service lights will I need something like this to reset all of them I tried with the tripomiter reset but didn't do anything

[@jc323socal3]

@BMW Doctor, does this tool get into the most bus? And is it capable of flashing module?

[@ashrafsedrakau]

I respect you greatly DR. can you please try it on BMW (test DISA or EGR) or connect to F-series, sorry to say I made the mistake and bought this tool 4 months ago it doesn't work not on BMW or most Australian cars, sent and called the tech help over 40 times (China)no help (sorry for your inconvenient) is the answer we get, called US helpline to upgrade to pro-level to work on DISA and EGR active test or programing and still waiting, I had Autel 808 it gave me more functions for half the price ( I hope you have a better service in the UK than what we get in Australia)

[@mohammedbierey]

It's a rebadged Thinktool, which is by itself a rebadged Launch 😂😂😂

[@timmehlittleloud2251]

That's what I thought 😏

Why don’t any of these have a most hook up to do programming and coding

So launch is better??

[@HowtoMakeThings]

If this is using Launch software I fail to see how they will put Launch out of business??

[@jeffreyriedel]

This tool seems really cool. I have an e90 328xi and need to program a new headlight control module. Can this tool do this? I am having a hard time figuring out if it has this capability. Thanks Jeff

[@ericwhite6913]

looks like a topdon pheonix?I think the Pheonix is a reboxed Lanuch pad vii.... I had a topdon that was identical..

[@therightpath129]

Does the online codes works after the subscription ends after the two years ?

[@kenken-sr2vq]

Any video reviews on the Topdon Plus vs Lauch X431 Pro vs Autel MK906 within the $1,200 range cant find any comparing to find the best bang for the buck to work best on GM and Chevrolet, Ford Etc..?

[@mikenismogtr]

I'm in the market and interested aswell. I am in north America and can care less for all the India/Asia stuff except what we see here in the US. I want to test drive the topdpn Phoenix plus. I was about to buy an autel but held off to see what's out there. Iscan3 has my eye aswell

[@foysol1000]

Hi I was really interested in the topdon remote scanner but I spoke to launch and they called it a 3rd hand launch. Is this true or are they jus slaging off topdon. Please help im in need of a new tool

[@vertex162]

I got the thinkdiag and working on bmw f34 is there any way i can reset the headlight count as the fem says there is a short and has now stopped trying to light up driver side headlamp so need to reset the short circuit counter can thinkdiag do this

[@rzgarkareem998]

Hi can you tell me new Device diagnostics is working for new car 2023 thank you

[@DedecaPT]

After 2 years, have you lost the ability to do bi-directional functions? and in pounds how much is a new subscription? is it annually, monthly?

[@gianfrancoprosa7426]

I have this tool a test ride on multiple cars it’s an ok tool I wasent overly impressed I would recommend looking into the Phoenix pro I hear it’s better or for a tool worth the money I would go with the iscan 3 great tool great customer support

[@truthhurts2149]

Have you heard of the artmini by topdon got a chance to buy it for 350

[@ronaldmahoney1283]

There is a fee for updates every year, about $550.

Topdon Is rebranded launch!!!😂😂😂

[@ANDY-we7mr]

IS IT BETTER THAN THE AUTEL 508S AND CAN YOU DO KEY CODING

[@soto575]

Can someone tell me what is the big difference between this the others top scan tools because it seems to me very similar..

[@carbonsteelbladetheorigina7993]

Well, what are you doing? General maintenance? or Advance maintenance?

[@soto575]

[@viktorskotovs]

Good day, I just wonder is there any fake products of this device? I very interested but prices are jumping!?

[@allpal3077]

Does it do TPMS or keys fobs?

[@TheFanman773]

AUTEL is an unethical company that takes advantage of its consumers. I acquired a maxisys pro in 2015 and had no reason to upgrade its software because it was compatible with all of my vehicles. A free update released an application that works like ransomware and installs a timer that prevents you from accessing the diagnostic part of the tool. Now, all I get is a “Software is not authorized!” message when I try to use the diagnostic part of my tool The only available option is to purchase an upgrade from Autel for $1400.00. Product knotting is illegal in the United States, and this corporation should be severely punished for what they're doing to their customers in order to create cash flow due to the recent lawsuit Autel settled.

[@juandontworryaboutit4150]

My question is what tool can we use for programming and coding? i have a 2009 BMW 328i 142kMiles… “fuel pump” message on dashboard, going to change the it along with the fuel pump control unit, now I’ve been told i need to code and program the module to make the car run again, soo what tool do you recommend, either that or Stealership $800-$1,200

[@olinhernandez8998]

Jajajjaja iam mexican mechanic and underrstand stelearship jeej nice that one

[@kenken-sr2vq]

Can it scan codes and test Hybrid cars? Toyota/Suburban Hybrid and others? what about the Chevy Volt?

[@MatthewTaylor3]

This looks BASIC like it doesn't seem to do immobiliser work when all keys are lost, or software version updates to the various components on the vehicle. It does NOT do Guided Fault Finding or have any wiring diagrams like ODIS does for VAG vehicles. This tool is not as sophisticated as this guy says, but it is an affordable alternative for doing everything else.

[@billmonroe8826]

Does this scanner giver fuel trims? Free lifetime updates or just a couple years?

[@jasonelliot9633]

Will this scan tool operate purge solenoid and vent value on evap systems

[@WV591]

too bad only some of the functions work with only 20% or cars. I've tested about 12 different scanners . all dressed but .....

[@ORileysAutos]

Topdon is just a fake Launch. Launch sell them some software but not full software so Launch would still be better. I have both. It's like having a Dodge caliber with a vw engine. It will never be as good as a VW. The saying "it's like a golf"

[@bjjmadicon7080]

What do you think of the Xtool D8 compared to the Topdon ARTIDIAG800 BT. Or you best recommendation for sub £600 machine

[@marstedt]

I'd like to know about the Xtool D8 as well. Did you find any info or opinions you can share?

[@mypadmi8656]

What I saw till now all this car scanner are copy/paste but xtool have some extra special function, ecu coding, programming keys, milage corection etc and support is good what is important if you have any problems...

[@Ghosts_Wolfs]

Topdon Pheonix Plus VS Autel MK906BT???? Can u help?

[@jessec6235]

This or the Phoenix lite 2 ?

[@andrewthompsonuk1]

How much are the updates after the 2 years of free updates have expired? When you clicked on the programming, I only saw coding options. Can you actually use this tool to update the BMW modules, or is it still better to use something like ISTA/P or WinKFP etc? The cost of the updates puts me off the high end Autel tools...

[@BMWDoctor]

It’s actually very cheap I think it’s around £80 a year but remember that’s full programming and coding ability for VAG group , Mercedes & BMW

[@richie6693]

This tool will not update the software on your Bmw modules it only does coding . You would need to get the Phoenix Pro version.

[@PL-fc6hm]

it's $550 a year for updates. if you don't update you will lose some functions. xtool d9 is much better with more capabilities and 3 years free update and if you didn't pay for updates it will still work fully.

[@joeboss1750]

Doesn't do later year Ford, dph coding

[@DryUrEyesMate]

Do you get paid to promote these? I only ask as your videos on scan tools are very similar

[@jjmmjj9999]

I doubt he's paid, more like he recieved the tools free to make a video on them

[@jjmmjj9999]

They're very similar, as there isn't much else you can do with them. The phoenix plus is similar with the snap on, launch, autel models (the big 1k ones) just pricing differs. The software is the same essentially Going cheaper, the artidiag 800bt is essentially a launch/thinkdiag unit again pricing differs. And then the bluetooth VCI and apps, again. The software is literally the exact same just the branding, pricing and VCI are different You can't do much when the same buttons do the same thing, just promoting them for the company. That said, I'd be very happy with a phoenix plus as it'll do everything the snap-on/autels will do for much cheaper, and the subscription is cheaper too. £80 a year for everything vs what £150 vs £50 per manufacturer/or car make/brand

[@willgomez1737]

What’s the different between this one and thinktool pro or Autel mp808bt 🤔

[@aa7h911]

All the same just rebadged.

[@carbonsteelbladetheorigina7993]

that Autel MP808bt is about 500$+ for the yearly update should you need it. and the think tool is about 300$. But both are quality. I run thinktool pros at my shop. works wonderful.

[@a.c.e.7568]

BMW V50.70, same as that on my Launch. I'd like to see a list of the maintenance items for my particular car from the manufacturer. I just tried to do an Oil Reset and my Launch provides instructions to press the odometer reset on my dash, then switch to the Accessory mode, then press the odometer reset again and all of that did not work. I had to get my Durametric scanner out to do the reset. I am skeptical about anything high-priced without seeing what it can actually do and how compatible it is with my vehicles. I see that all Updates are Free, is that for life or for a year or two?

[@tbbainter777]

Much better options available even at lower price point and more bi-directional capabilities. Basically a Launch tool

[@alinduta5398]

hi do you have any ideea if is big difference between artipad l and phoenix plus?

more money, more functions in active test and programming

As cool as the topology feature on ALL of these Chinese aftermarket scanners is. They ARE NOT accurate and shouldn't be a key selling point. Not for their price. Trusting the topology feature of these scanners can lead you on a wild goose chase and cost you precious time and money. Remember it is not comparable to OEM topology that in most cases knows the as built equipment. Thus can accurately tell you what equipped modules have a communication fault. These aftermarket scanners just send out a call for communication and tell you who reported back. If no response, it says "Not equipped". That's is not accurate and is miss leading. Not worth the steep price these companies are asking for this half baked feature. No aftermarket scanner is comparable to OEM and no aftermarket does everything well. Know their strengths and weaknesses. They are cheaper than OEM for a reason.

[@jorgemat8080]

Funny as you said that about oem tools and aftermarket tools. So you saying g that you should invest about a million dollars on oem tools to work as a mechanic and don't waste 1000 dollars to get %75 of all coverage. Tell that to any mechanic and see what their answers are lmao 🤣. No kidding oem is oem for a reason only works with that specific make so you would have to buy a oem tool for all the brands you work with wowowowowowowoeo not worth being a mechanic if you can only work with one or maybe 2 brands as oem tools and their subscriptions would bankrupt any small mechanic shop. Should I keep going. Hahahahahah. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
