XTOOL Bluetooth Scanner Comparison: AD20, AD20 PRO, A30M - Best OBD2 Pro Scanner

XTOOL scanner review and Bluetooth scanner comparison, featuring the Advancer AD20, AD20 Pro, and the Anyscan A30M - which I consider the best professional Bluetooth scanner, and the best bidirectional scan tool for the money. The AD20 is an entry level scantool with some really interesting features not found in other Bluetooth dongles. The AD20 Pro is a step above entry level but not in the realms of an OBD2 professional Bluetooth scanner. The A30M is an OBD2 pro scanner that can even be used by a shop!

A30M, I own and use the Advancer A10

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Great piece of kit, the A30M. Let me guess, the AD10 stays in the car? I usually have a dongle in the car. Lol.

[@kastrizzle]

@@DIYAutoworksNG yes it does, the A30M would be better though. Have always fancied a bidirectional scan tool. Hope it handles Benz well too?

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

@kastrizzle I'm yet to hook it up to a Benz. I definitely would!

[@juniorreds9495]

Good demonstration

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Thanks!

[@andrewmarsh4920]

Thanks 4 this video

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

You're welcome

[@olivertwist9003]

Dose a30m cover all ad20 pro function except battery test? I just got my first car and would like to do maintenance myself like oil change, break maintenance, etc , do a30m is better for this situation? Thank you

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Congrats on your purchase. The A30M will serve you much better and it can't be compared to the AD20 Pro in any way.

[@engmohammad3791]

what do you think is better ad20 or ad20pro

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

The pro is better because of all system access.

[@christopherschokman1604]

How can I find out if the A30M's special functions are supported on my car model before I purchase.The car is an Asian Suzuki.

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Thanks for watching. Your best bet would be using XTOOL's coverage tool www.xtooltech.com/english/ProductsView/A30M.html Scroll down on the page to where you can select Diagnosis and Special functions.

[@agildiagnostico]

Awesome video

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@agildiagnostico]

But we should say This ad20pro is not a serious device. bought 8 to sell and deception: does not work on Mercedes w168 (not even opened), no error codes on hiunday HB20 (while on Thinktool max2 found 5 error.) . A30 is some good but ad20pro not worth the penny

[@libtrs838]

What do you think is better the AP200 or the A30?

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

A30 or A30M?

[@jermaineomorogbe]

@@DIYAutoworksNG A30M

[@li9027]

Что лучше AP200 или A30M? Почему?

[@a.m-gh7876]

What is the difference between Xtool D8 and ad20?

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

No comparison at all, very different tools. Pro vs entry level.

[@cristian7477]

A30M tiene opciones de immo ? 🤔

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

You can access the immo ECU, but It won't program keys.

[@li9027]

Жаль а А200 программирует

[@_Drekavac_]

Can the AD20 PRO read airbag error codes and clear them?

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Yes, if they are not hard codes. Hard codes can't be cleared by any scanner until the SRS ECU is cleared of crash data. Hard codes are set after an accident where the SRS component e.g. Airbag deploys.

[@_Drekavac_]

@@DIYAutoworksNG its not crash related, some wire or other BS is loose under the passenger seat and whenever i clear it it comes back after moving the seat a couple of times forward and backwards

[@DeV-ji3xl]

Can ad20 throttle relearn?

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Nope

[@li9027]

Чип иммобилайзера может привязать? Новый ключ чтоб работал?

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Unfortunately, no.

[@diyi75]

There is no bluetooth pairing to car. Phone is paired to dongle.

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Actually pairs to each car you would use it on. Once taken from that car to another, and brought back, you'll need to repeat the pairing process. I guess if it was dongle to phone, you won't have to repeat the pairing I describe.
