TOPDON ArtiDiag600 S - Is it any good?

[@weeteelabahbyronbay1843]

Good unit, have used on Peugeot 508, Isuzu D-Max, Subaru Forester.

[@johnross5805]

Finally figured out, the MISSING Micro Memory slot. The 2024 model of the TopDon600s DOES NOT have a memory slot.

[@TechCars]

I didn't know.. that's weird that they removed that.

Do you have to pay every year in order for this OBD reader to work ? If you dont pay does that still work ? Do you need to have internet to used it ? If you don't updates does that still work without updates ? Out from the box can you used it without wifi or internet ? Can this scan for Fuel Pressure ? And can this scan for compression test ? Is this a Complete diagnostic Scan tools ?does it Scan from 1996 cars going up ? How about Toyota Camry 2001 2.2 Liter 4 Cyl or Buick Park Ave 2003 3.8 Liter does it Scan these cars ? Does this scan for battery ignition parameters ? Does it Scan for a bad head gaskets ? Is this the latest version 2024 ? Is the Topdon AD 600 S the same as Topdon AD 500 S ? Is that free also like the AD 500 S? What is the difference ?

ArtiDiag 600S do not require any subscription. Some things that you do can require an internet connection (I don't know exactly which). It will work as it's best even if not updated but there can new functionality or bugs in an update. The best you can do is to visit the topdon vehicle coverage page. I'll put the link here and thanks for watching! www.topdon.com/pages/diagnostic-tool-support

What Year is the one you are reviewing? Is it free no need to pay yearly pay ? Topdon told me that it's free lifetime updates does this means it's free ?does this means it's a lifetime coverage ?

[@TechCars]

It's from 2023 and yes there's no yearly fee on this one. Once you step up a few models like the Artidiag Pro you need to pay subscription. Lifetime coverage, but at some point I think they will abandon the tool because it's becoming too old(slow) to support. I don't see that coming in a long time though. Enjoy!

​@@TechCarsI just now got done talking to one of Topdons call center in NewJersey.I asked for their coverage .They told me it's life time coverage and updates lifetime does this means the coverage and life time also ? They told me the year 2023 and 2024 there is no difference .

[@Kevin.Sawyer]

What is highest memory capacity on the micro SD can it use?

[@TechCars]

I put a 64 gig in mine! Worked fine. That's probably way more than you need.

[@johnross5805]

@@TechCars I don't have a Micro Slot on my TopDon AntiDiag 600s. Where is the Mem slot located other than on right side?

[@TechCars]

@@johnross5805 It should be behind the rubberflap where you have the USB-C connector.

[@justinneal5751]

It's OK, but dosent work that well on my W639 Vito. Won't attempt to read nor clear my SRS light.

[@sotiriosthoupi2037]

More time wasted before pluging it into but showed nothing

[@daniellarsen7944]

It's worthless don't buy one under any circumstances!!! You will regret if you do...

[@TechCars]

Can you elaborate on that?

[@weeteelabahbyronbay1843]

Possibly has no idea how it works.

[@marsflee3815]

@@weeteelabahbyronbay1843 I think you're right. Normally, if you know the bad experience with the device, you can't wait to tell others. 🤨

[@sterileeasteregg]

Wrong i have one it works great free lifetime updates does everything you will need for basic mechanic work also links directly to youtube videos refrencing codes that come up. You need wifi for it to work well you can connect with your phone for wifi.
