TOPDON Phoenix Lite 3 Overview

[@vastorana74]

Learning something new everyday. Having the Smart, this vid showed the similarities and i learned some new functions. I am amazed how close the lite is getting to the higher end models too. Great presentation as always Haakan! TopDon is very fortunate to have such a great and knowledgeable rep

[@colinturner6628]

Great Video, well presented and clear explanations of all the features of this Tool.

[@FullFaithRepair]

What a great looking tool, I sure wish I had known about this when I bought my snap on a couple years ago. I have bought a topscan and a thermal camera and I love them! Hope to get one soon as my shop and channel grows

[@dannyh773]

I got the lite 2 about a year ago. It was my first bidirectional scanner. I usually work on my own cars and help friends and family. It really made a difference in diagnosing. But now a lite 3. I can’t afford it. But I want it. 😂

Thinking of getting the lite 3 but just wondering about Doip and if it has anything to connect to it?

[@TopdonOfficial]

Thank you for your interest in the Phoenix Lite 3! Regarding your question about DOIP , the Phoenix Lite 3 does not currently support DOIP. However, it offers a wide range of other features like CAN-FD protocol, online coding, and topology mapping, making it a great option for most diagnostic tasks.

How do you hook up the hard line? Thank you in advance for your answer.

[@TopdonOfficial]

Hello, if you want to connect the Lite3 tablet and its MDCI with a hard line, you can connect them using a USB cable, then enter the device settings to switch to HOST mode, and the device will adopt a wired connection.

[@rodvan-zeller6360]

@@TopdonOfficial Thank you for your answer. I just got this tool, I am retired automotive technology teacher, always kept a part time job doing diagnostic work, many of my old students keep in contact with me, I still do diagnostic and teaching at auto shops in my area. I always get asked questions on recommendations for equipment. Looks like TOPDON has very good products and excellent customer service.

[@alonsoimmobilier5301]

Hello, what is the difference between the Phoenix Lite 3 and the Phoenix Elite?

[@TopdonOfficial]

Lite 3 supports 35 service functions, Elite supports 41; 3. Lite3/Elite supports BMW/VW/Audi/Skoda/Seat/Porsche online ECU coding, Elite also supports Benz to do SCN coding. 4. Lite 3 doesn't support online ECU programming, Elite supports it.

[@JohnMentado]

Should I get the lite 3 or the plus 2?

[@TopdonOfficial]

Thank you for reaching out! The Plus2 and Lite3 are both excellent diagnostic tools, but there are key differences between them. The Plus2 offers broader vehicle coverage, more advanced features like key programming and ECU coding, and faster processing power, making it ideal for professional use. On the other hand, the Lite3 is more focused on basic functions and general vehicle diagnostics, making it a more affordable option for everyday use. If you need more advanced capabilities, the Plus2 would be the better choice, while the Lite3 would serve you well for general maintenance and simpler tasks.

[@HXCKR]

What model is better? The Phoenix Lite 3 or Phoenix Plus?

How can I tell what keys this will program?

[@TopdonOfficial]

[@rickyheck6780]

So this tool has a key programmer as well???

[@TopdonOfficial]

However, the availability of this feature depends on the specific car's make, model, and year. If you’d like to check compatibility or need more information, feel free to provide details about your vehicle, and we’ll assist you further.

[@isolateddieselperformance3261]

Will this scanner do injector kill test?

[@TopdonOfficial]

Yes, the Topdon Phoenix Lite 3 supports advanced diagnostic functions like the injector kill test， but it may vary in different makes.

[@richardMiller-ow4jf]

Can this tool work on trucks as well?

[@TopdonOfficial]

Hello， The working voltage of the Phoenix Lite3 VCI is 9~18V, so it doesn't support diagnosing 24V trucks. However, it does support some 12V light trucks such as VW CV and Sprinter. If you need a scanner for 24V heavy-duty vehicles, the Phoenix Smart and Max models can meet your needs.
