Hey guys let me know any questions you have about the scanner and I'll be happy to answer them for you. Also if you have any other scanners that you want me to review feel free to comment and make suggestions. After all, I know most folks don't have the budget to be trying out a variety of different scanners before they buy one. That is why I do these reviews, so you don't have to. Hopefully I can help you to make the most informed decision on your purchase.

[@MrRohanstar]

Seems very good for keys

[@chrisalbaugh6577]

I just ordered this guy I can't wait to get it.

[@frank9649]

I was wondering about the battery life Thanks

[@deanharris7149]

Either you have to review every scanner available or everybody else has to do reviews just like this one here, great job! Most reviews are like listening to an auctioneer bleeding out phrases so fast your head spins and you don’t know what the guy just said. My target vehicles are bmw, Jeep, and Ford.

[@ModernDIYProjects]

Thank you, I appreciate that. I actually have another, better scanner coming from Xtool in the next few weeks. Stay tuned for that one.

[@allthekidsareright]

I ordered one of these….didn’t realize it didn’t have bidirectional controls. I need to program a key so it seemed the same price as the dealership. I was hoping it would let me reset tpms….didn’t realize reset wasn’t set up.

[@ModernDIYProjects]

Look at my OBD2 scanner playlist on my channel page before making your next purchase. I have a bunch of scanners that I have reviewed and many of them will program keys and also TPMS sensors. In fact I have a different one from Xtools that will do both of these in on scanner.

[@allthekidsareright]

@@ModernDIYProjects yeah I’m a bit bummed out. Since I bought it on eBay, I can’t really return it. I needed to program a key but I also have a tire machine and I was hoping to do tpms too. Guess I’ll have to settle for this one for awhile.

[@MrRohanstar]

Witch one does both ,please​@ModernDIYProjects

[@htx713cc8]

Bi directional is super usefull. Example if you think a bad fuel pump could be the problem you can activate it and know instantly its turning on and off without touching a wrench this apply to windows, cooling fans etc. I have the d9 pro but I'd definitely get the d7 or something with bidirectional. The d8 is the sweet spot price wise. The Bluetooth module that comes with the d9 is why it's expensive that is a j2543 computer that does all the relearn, pcm flashing, programing keys etc.

[@ModernDIYProjects]

If you think this is nice, wait for my next video. I just did a review of a scanner from Xtool that combines the power of the D7,D8,IP616, and IP819, all for a really good price. That's coming up in a few days.

[@ModernDIYProjects]

@@sheepdog3828 It's right in the title of the video.

[@williamcohen3351]

How does this compare to the Ancel v6 pro plus you reviewed a couple of months ago?

[@ModernDIYProjects]

This IP616 has more reset functions and does key programming for more, and newer cars than the Ancel V6. For example I had another viewer tell me a while back that the Ancel does not do IMMO key programming on Fords, while this one does. But this one does not have bidirectional controls and is not wireless. But like I said in the video, is that last part really that important to most DIYers? When I do reviews of scanners I try to cover a huge spectrum to satisfy every request I get, but not every function is needed by every user. As a DIYer I think this scanner has plenty of power for what I would do.

[@katzenpapa]

@@ModernDIYProjects I am a DIY'er and I have used the bidirectional features on my D8 quite a bit (EVAP purge, set engine RPMs, test wiper relay, for example). I do agree most people may not have a need them, but given the features, the price point, the special functions, and lifetime updates, this is well worth the price. Also, this unit has tons of live data. Thanks for the video!

[@MrRohanstar]

Witch on has wiring diagram please

[@Davsoto120]

I know it Can actuate the fuel pump, but can I actuate solenoids such as the EVAP vent valve?

[@ModernDIYProjects]

Yes it can.

[@itshannahforyuh]

I just purchased one, and the software looks updated so my Home Screen looks different. It is running android 10 now. Have you updated yours, does your Home Screen look different now? Thanks for the very detailed video!

[@ModernDIYProjects]

You're right! I just turned it on and found the new screen also. One good thing is that Xtool is always making updates so you will be getting the latest software and updates as time passes.

[@irvingzisman143]

Hello, wonderful review! Was curious if Hummer is available? under GM possibly. Will be ordering as soon as i can get confirmation that it is available! Thank You!

[@ModernDIYProjects]

Yes, Hummer is covered as are Cadillac, Buick, Pontiac, Chevy, and Saturn. Pretty much all DM products.

[@MrRohanstar]

Can it do all keys lost keys for mrcedes

[@ModernDIYProjects]

Yes, but if you want to know model specific then you need to contact the seller and ask them directly.

[@vandal968]

How long is the OBD cable? Wondering if it's long enough to read codes from passenger side while vehicle is being driven.

[@ModernDIYProjects]

Yes, it is. I have done this type of testing before with my wife holding the scanner.

[@glizzygangcmo5497]

What year does this key program

[@ModernDIYProjects]

The years change all the time as the machine is updated. I suggest that you contact the seller directly on Amazon and ask them if your vehicle is covered or not.

[@natejr1088]

Mileage correction?

[@raycollington4310]

What happens if this device is connected to say a Toyota Hybrid? Thank you.

[@ModernDIYProjects]

It will scan it just like any other vehicle. The Hybrid system is just another part of the greater OBD2 system.

[@jman678]

I own a xtool while all these features seem nice this scanner won't work on all cars i have gm vehicles and as soon as I plug it in i get all kinds of warning lights

[@ModernDIYProjects]

That sounds like faults in your ECU or you got a bad scanner. When an OBD2 scanner hooks to a vehicle, worse case scenario it wont be able to communicate, or have limited functionality. But to have lights come on tells me that there is something else going on there.

[@carremote8651]

Toyota all smart key lost programing possible? Kc100 and ks 1 emulator saport?

[@ModernDIYProjects]

I can only tell you what the scanner shows, I have not tested it for every model on the market. I suggest you contact the seller on Amazon and ask them directly.

[@todd4625]

Sure would be nice if you could add ALFAODB to this unit.

[@ModernDIYProjects]

They are always adding more features to the scanners.

[@user-nm2iz6um8v]

#Gracias. Xtools

[@nicholashenry5015]

What's the difference with this and the ik616?

[@ModernDIYProjects]

I have no way to tell since I only have the IP616

[@nicholashenry5015]

I need this 4 key programming but they say the ik616 is better for key programming

[@ModernDIYProjects]

Then I suggest that you ask whoever told you that because I have no way of knowing. I only have this model.

[@mardan1974]

I programmed a key for my 15 legacy with this tool and it worked great.

[@PrincessPheeni]

Heya does this tool work with a 2003 honda civic?

[@ModernDIYProjects]

It should work just fine.

[@PrincessPheeni]

@ModernDIYProjects okay thanks

[@ourclock9273]

Which are the differences between ip616 and D7?

[@ModernDIYProjects]

That question is just too broad to answer in the small space of a comment reply. Aside from what I mentioned in this video you can go watch my D7 video and see the large amount of differences that there are. I go into great detail on the D7 in that review video also. Then you can decide better which one is best for you after seeing them in action not just reading about it.

[@htx713cc8]

Bi directional is super usefull. Example if you think a bad fuel pump could be the problem you can activate it and know instantly its turning on and off without touching a wrench this apply to windows, cooling fans etc. Topology layout is nice too and the ability to talk to other modules especially body modules is a must on any modern car. I have the d9 pro but I'd definitely get the d7 or something with bidirectional. The d8 is the sweet spot price wise. The Bluetooth module that comes with the d9 is why it's expensive that is a 600 to 700 dollar j2543 computer that works in conjunction with the tablet scanner. You can buy it separately that does all the relearn, pcm flashing, programing keys etc. Good review but I disagree with not using bidirectional. It's like a PC or calculator just because you don't use every function your laptop is capable of doesn't mean you won't use alot. But basically non bi directional sees codes and clears them for the most part it listens, while bidirectional talks and listens.

[@katzenpapa]

So this unit has no actuation features at all?

[@ModernDIYProjects]

That is correct.

[@homyvirgile9995]

Hi, how i can use it (IP616) to program additional key on 2004 Mitsubishi endeavor? Thanks for your help.

[@ModernDIYProjects]

Hook it up to your vehicle and follow the on screen prompts. Not that hard to do.

[@homyvirgile9995]

@@ModernDIYProjects Hi, Yes I tried to do that. I can't access the immobilizer to add a new key.

[@ModernDIYProjects]

Then there is something wrong with the vehicle or the scanner is not compatible with your vehicle.

[@homyvirgile9995]

@@ModernDIYProjects Ok. I will contact the company.

Good price for that scanner. It does a LOT for that small a price.
