What are your thoughts on the Topdon Phoenix smart scan tool , I think it has everything on your list apart from AI , and you can buy a EV package to add that feature.

[@MechanicMindset]

@@d4dek130 Made by ThinkTool 👍 so similar

Nice tool 👍

what do you think of the launch x431 pro series scanners. any good!

Where is the scope module ?.

[@djmobileautoservices]

So basically, it's a tablet and a Jbox? Like the touch with external remote programming

[@MechanicMindset]

@@djmobileautoservices It is J2534. It’s like the Master/S20, but has EV pack and HD commercial vehicles included. Both of which are available with Master, but at an extra cost 👍

hello i have been watching a lot of your Pico scope 2204a videos and am wondering would the Pico scope 2205a be better for this compared to the 2204a ?

[@MechanicMindset]

@@jamesmcbride174 Yeah it’s slightly better, but cost a lot more 👍

[@d.d4184]

Well done. Another excellent video.

[@TheVigilantEye77]

Thoughts on Snap On Zeus ?

[@pauloldfield6968]

Maybe I'm wrong but a lot of these scan tools are using Launch operating systems so why not get a Launch tool ?

[@MechanicMindset]

@@pauloldfield6968 Sure the launch tools are fine. I suppose some of it comes down to price and support. They are slightly different in their offerings. But yes ‘similar’ base software 👍

[@DavidKazzi-ir1tr]

I use launch and I find it doesn't break it down like think tool and topdon. You have to know what you are searching for in launch, but I definitely like where this is going. It will be helping us do more with find and fixing on the vehicle.

[@impactdiagnostics8087]

This actually has more online programming than any other Launch model, the Thinkcar models in the UK are also have better support and pricing.

[@JoelAutomotiveInaction]

Monopolio , launch has about 10 divisions , think car , top Dom so on

This diagnostic tools is very expensive, not only for personal, home use but also for diagnostic workshop workshop/ company . For example thinkpps cost for today (end of year 2024) cost 5000zloty/ 1000F , and this is onlyncost for.power supply , where is licence, where is cisr for J2534, where is cost for diagnostic hardware. Thinkcar is avesome,bur id a most expensive diagnostic tools(for long term usage).

[@audriuskimtys7943]

Awesome device :) BUT so far non off these tablets (Autel, Launch, Thinkcar) can do engineering job, like BMW (E-Sys), MB (Vediamo/DTS Monaco), VAG (ODIS-E), more engineering options for MB so far has ABRITES, especially for FBS4 solutions.

[@MechanicMindset]

What do you mean by engineering jobs? Manual editing of coding?

[@audriuskimtys7943]

@@MechanicMindset Yes. Especially in MB.

[@MechanicMindset]

@@audriuskimtys7943 Ah got you, as the dealer tools for mechanics don’t generally have these features, they don’t get added. It’s easy to cause problems if you don’t know what you’re doing 😅

[@audriuskimtys7943]

@@MechanicMindset Yep I agree with that :)

[@arnobruynen6073]

The module list is kind of confusing, it's an F30 in this video so it should have FEM & REM modules for body functions and not FRM (and CAS) like shown here. If you know your BMW's then you know you're actually entering the REM module because of the functions it provides you but to people new to BMW's I can see this being confusing. You would think these tools would be based on the dealer software like ISTA but ISTA would name it correctly. That being said it's probably cause it's partially based on the old E series where the body functions are mainly run by the FRM (address 72) and the CAS (address 40) which addresses are re-used in the F series for REM and FEM BODY respectively.

[@MechanicMindset]

Yeah I didn’t notice that. I mean behind it all, it seems to have the same feature naming as the dealer tool. Maybe the modules broadcast the same address as the FRM, so this tool just names it as that because it matches its look up table?

[@darek85TBG]

this is just an advertisement, nothing more. the advertised equipment is very expensive (especially looking at the longer period of time) I do not recommend

[@BorisSpark]

I got access to snap on diagnostic and many others, I can pay loads of money for it, but yet I can do most things with a simple launch which is far cheaper. Unless you are advertising or running a large workshop where you have 20-30 cars a day going through it's not worth the investment in my opinion.

[@MechanicMindset]

@@darek85TBG Some of these features are available on lower priced tools. This also has packages included which usually cost (a lot) extra on other tools like the HD commercial pack and EV pack diagnostics. There are lots to choose from out there; these are some of the latest features

[@stu2667]

BTW: Thinkcar just stuffed my Thinktool Pros with their last firmware update, So not impressed n you can't roll back. My next one will be an Autel,.Launch (Stellatis gateway crap) or a Topdon Phoenix haven't made my mind up yet.

[@Sapphire1987]

If you think stellantis gateway crap is horrible. Wait till you see SFD2 protection on al 2024+ VAG cars. Jezus, it's a fucking black box. Can't even get into the modules with VCDS/OBD11. Fucking UNECE regulations, they can shove them locked out cars in their ass.

[@Tsimi1234]

If you want something that is reliable and works flawlessly, better and way faster than any dealer tools that I have tried, go for Autel or Otofix(autel's german brand). I got otofix D1 pro and it has been amazing so far same level as 906pro but improved hardware

[@truth4reel]

If you're gonna Phoenix Smart wait another year or two. It's still very buggy and is missing a lot of functions advertised to
