A neat trick on this kit Put your finger on the left hand side on the screen but in the middle Swipe your finger on the screen towards the center of the screen It goes back to the previous page Works on the right side also You will see a red arrow when your doing it Also I deleted a bunch of makes to create more space on the hard drive You never lose them and can re install them anytime you want Also a way of picking up 500 megs of memeory is to uninstall language if you are going to use English English is the default language Also you never lose this and if needed you can download it again I am very impressed with this kit.

[@jonnydavey8564]

How do you delete the makes you don’t need and uninstall Language thanks j

[@anguslean4058]

@@jonnydavey8564 1 - Press on setup 2 - click on - Diagnostic Software Clear 3 - click on the cars you want to delete 4 - press delete 5 - Do a Happy Dance If English is your language then delete the Language App The default is English You will pick up 500 Megs from that alone Also you will never lose these apps And you can download them anytime in the future if you need them Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !

Hey mate, been a mechanic for a few years lol. Use'd several scan tools, bought this one on a recomendation. Artidiag800bt was awesome. Not so much for my last job wbere most cars were before 2010, but my new shop is mostly cars over 2012 this has been a boon for the price. New beemas, hondas and vw's has seen the most benefit in my opinion. Particularly vw's as the area im in they are a dime a dozen. Benefits include i8 bmws and any vw, modern porsche and late bmw's. Not so much local holdens before 2010 or Ford's in that era. But any cars in in the last 10-15 years this is super useful.

[@cl0udmc]

Thank you. I Appreciate the time you've taken to run through this 👍🏾.

[@mq9167]

Good job walking us through it. It seems like it will take time to learn how to find some of the functions you want. Im excited to try it out.

[@stevenward5134]

Great video but we still saw your chassis number after you moved your thumb down.. don't worry because most cars show their chassis numbers in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.. cheers again for a good demo.

[@tonyrice3348]

I bought a launch crp129x and only found out it's a fake, sending it back tomorrow, just ordered one of these, looks much better and free updates, great review btw it made my mind up after watching your video!

[@henrymusa1343]

@Alan T can this tool switch on and off injectors to see which one might be fault like overfuelling

[@paulmuff9883]

Great video especially as I’ve just ordered one so you video was very good, manny thanks 😊

[@stephenrose8188]

Great video thank you! I do have a question that you may know the answer to. When you go into the Repair info function it offers you a Video list not only is it empty but it seems not to be downloading anything, have you played with this function at and if so how did you get on?

[@tommoso55]

Brilliant video. Have just bought one

[@topmonkey6512]

Hi, I am also using this device. This is the video I made of how to upgrade the 800BT: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZ3ckIuogN2sh6M , share it with you here, you can refer to it. If you are interested, you can click to see it, or you can give me your opinion. There are more videos on my homepage that use different equipment to make different functions for the car. You are welcome to follow me, and I am also willing to answer your questions. question. thanks.

Hi great video can you tell me will this 800 program new car keys Cheers Andy

[@rockyfish3115]

His does this show live data in things like the bcm so say fir instance you turn your lights on or indicators the scanner will show as active, as I purchased the foxwel nt726 and it does this but only has 8 maintenance functions

[@AlanT252]

Hi! Yes it will show you live data from almost all the modules, such as switch activation, input and output voltages etc. thanks, Alan

[@nathanhuitson1418]

Hello there, does it read live data?

[@angelyakko731]

bravo beautiful video ... me I was disappointed with my MX808 no learning EGR no real focntion IMMO I wanted to resell it and your TOPDON I find it much more efficient and also a price and free updates what do you think? please thank

[@swansong007]

Hi could you please tell me if this scanner would scan a Lexus SC430 2005 uk car. Thanks very much

[@conraddeighan2448]

Does this have a history function of previously erased codes by another machine?

[@grazianolaudisio3644]

Can you check the mileage on this device?

[@Morteexx]

If you press record on livedata ( datastream), can you find your file after?? Mine im not finding the file. Topdon support is slow as hell aswell.

[@kevinthacker8349]

What does transport mode do ? As am a recovery driver.

[@newry123]

How do you know if the error code is historic or current,, cheers

[@cards06champs]

What's the earliest year this unit will work on? I'm currently looking to buy this tool.

[@topmonkey6512]

Hello, 800BT supports cars of the earliest years: cars after 1996 in the United States and cars after 2000 in the European region.

[@tygerof2]

Can you see live data on devices in the body control module?

[@AlanT252]

Hi! Yes it will show you live data from almost all the modules, such as switch activation, input and output voltages etc. thanks, Alan

[@anguslean4058]

Yes and you can see O2 sensors live Misfires Tire pressure monitor live Lots and lots You can also record live data And make a report and e mail it Or use your camera on your phone to read the bar code and Boom the whole report is on your phone It’s a pretty neat tool

[@edwardoutthere3189]

Any good for mercedes cls320cdi

[@tuffyboyy3092]

Hi, would you recommend this product or the Autel maxicom mk808bt? Thanks

[@AlanT252]

Hi, both the Topdon and Autel are good pieces of kit. Feature wise they are both very similar. The Autel is more expensive purchase wise, and you have to pay for yearly for your updates. The Toodon updates are free with no subscription. The Autel has a bit of a slicker operating system and is more pleasing on the eye to look at.

[@anguslean4058]

@@AlanT252 a good trick is to delete cars ( makes ) that you don’t use to create more memory space I noticed after the initial update there was only 1.5 gigs of space left After deleting the makes I know I will never need I added over 2 more gigs of space Also you will never lose what you delete and can always re install it

[@davidward8682]

Where do I go to check battery condition

[@mq9167]

3:25 shows the maintenance menu

[@newry123]

Hi. Do you need an internet connection for this to work’thanks

[@AlanT252]

Hi! You don’t need an internet connection when you are working on a vehicle, however you do need a wifi connection in order to update the software on the machine and to email any reports from the device. Thanks, Alan

[@newry123]

@@AlanT252 thanks

[@WV591]

Too bad none of these sub 800 scanners display fuel trims and O2 and few other useful PIDs info under data stream.

[@rccarmontenegro2529]

Hello. I wonder if all the features are available and free? please tell me something about it?

[@AlanT252]

Hi! You do not have to pay extra for anything. No subscriptions for updates etc. Obviously not every function will work with every vehicle, but as yet I’ve not really found any incompatibility issues. For example, I can force a DPF regen on Mercedes’ vehicles, which not every diagnostic machine can do!

[@rccarmontenegro2529]

@@AlanT252 OK. thanks bro

[@paulthebow]

Nice non.biased in depth review there fella respect.

[@michamicha8248]

Nie polecam. Nie przypomina to launch X431 nie da się tego porównać. Kupiłem wersję 16gb i odesłałem. Tester nie połączył się kilka razy z samochodem. Na całą aktualizację brakuje pamięci. Po aktualizacji nie dało się korzystać w samochodzie np z inspekcji olejowej, konieczna była kolejna aktualizacja, a taka możliwość tylko przy podłączonym testerze. Gorszego sprzętu nie miałem. Ładny wygląd i to wszystko. Tłumaczenia nie ma prawie. Nie warto

[@soumilinon]

the first things I tried airfuel and bms and of course , does not support chev 1500, so not as great as you make it out to be
