Excellent video. I just ordered an NT630 plus which should have all makes and models plus free updates for life. I hope it works as advertised. I will probably watch your video again when I attempt to switch the micro sd card. Thank you.

Wow, I learned a lot about my Foxwell from your video. I bought a Foxwell NT630 Plus and thought I can download any or all vehicle manufacturers on the download. Your saying I can only download one vehicle and have to pay $60-$80 extra for other car manufacturers? I don't understand why Foxwell doesn't list the Activate button first before the Download button on their software update screen. You must first activate as shown in your video, then download only your single vehicle. Thanks for stating not to have your car in the 'On' position when plugging or unplugging your Foxwell scanner. I agree with you, I would have bought the NT680 Lite so I can have access to all car brands.

Thank you for sharing this video. I found it very helpful when servicing EPB. It really helps when replacing rear brakes with EPB.

So after 2 years are you happy with it? Is it still working? I'm trying to decide between this and Autel Diaglink model without bi-directional functions (50usd cheaper).

@Peppermint1 Жыл бұрын

I had no problems with the scanner or with the SD card, but I only did use it maybe 10-15 times. I did also do a software update (free) and also added a second car brand to it (extra $60). You can see the videos in the Foxwell playlist on my channel. Also, look in the first pinned comment here above, if you don't need very specific functions such as transmission re-adaptation, you may want to choose a scanner model that has all car brands.

Hi. Congratulations on the video. I needed some help. I turned on my NT530 and went through the initial procedure to activate the device. The problem is that the FIAT vehicle does not appear on the NT530. Why?

@@Peppermint1 Hi. When I bought the scanner, I understood, as well as from the title of which I highlight the text (Foxwell NT530 Multi-System Scanner with 1 Free Car), that the choice of the first vehicle was free. In fact, the folder named FIAT appears on the TF card, which I also updated using the procedure you highlighted. Is what I say correct? I try to solve this problem with your help. Thank you

@@79magicman So the Fiat icon doesn't appear on the scanner display ? Can you select instead the OBDII icon and read the codes ? Otherwise, may want to contact Foxwell and explain to them the problem, usually they answer in 2-3 week days sales@foxwelltool.com

If my micro sd chip gets damage, can i buy a new one and just download the files on a new 8gb sd card by updating it in the fox assist app?

@Peppermint1 10 ай бұрын

You simply copy and paste all files on the new card BUT for updates you must use the original card - I think there are hidden files on the original card needed for updates. If you are good with computers, may try reveal these hidden files and copy them as well on the new card, then try checking for updates with the new card see if it works. I always recommend preserving the original card - I keep it on my scanner secured with a scotch tape on it

we purchased the NT530 WITH BMW SOFTWARE.. is the bmw software already loaded on the scanner or will we have to connect to the internet to download it? thanks

@Peppermint1 Жыл бұрын

When I purchased mine online directly from the Foxwell site, it came with the first car already installed. But I've heard about other people who purchased their scanner from 3rd party distributors which sent the scanner empty and had to upload the first car themselves - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qNhhndx3zNfcgJ8.html

@@Peppermint1 I bought it direct from foxwell.. reason I bought it is to bleed the ABS system on my 2000 bmw z3 and to troubleshoot ABS/DSC ISSUES.. My pre pump was seized and I replaced it. so im hoping the scanner will work on the 2000 bmw z3. I already bought the round adapter plug for the underhood ABS /DSC diagnostic port.

NEVER FORMAT the original SD card. It has hidden files and you must use it to update the scanner. Foxwell works only on Windows Adding extra brand (Paypal only) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qNhhndx3zNfcgJ8.html Updating your scanner for new models and functions kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h9SjetKGrsfNiYk.html Update: don't buy the NT530 (or the NT510 or NT520). These are not worth it. These have only one car brand ($60-$80 for any extra car brand). The NT680 Lite has all the car brands free and already included for about the same price. Check out KZfaq videos with the model you want to buy to get an idea. The only advantage of the NT530 is it can reset the transmission adaptations on some cars - on Volvo it only reset them, but didn't start the relearn sequence. There is also the NT630 but it can't read engine or transmission modules. Be sure to keep the ORIGINAL SD CARD safely (may tape it somewhere on the scanner) - when you update the scanner or add another car brand, you will need to use the original card (then copy it again on the better quality one) You can CONTACT Foxwell by email sales@foxwelltool.com or sales@foxwellstore.com I got answers in 2-3 working days. It seems the NT530 can retract the electronic park brake EPB which must be done when replacing the rear brake pads - you can still do this without a scanner but it's more trouble (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZpaXlrJm07W8Z6c.html). This is good news because other scanner don't activate the EPB for brake pads replacement - I will update a video on this To UPDATE the files on your scanner. Be sure to have the original SD card in the scanner. Connect the scanner to USB and click on the scanner Update button. On the Activate tab, the FoxAssist should automatically display the scanner model and serial number. Click on the Updates tab on FoxAssist then click on the blue Update button to update your existing files - it will take about 10 minutes. You will get a pop up message saying to exit the FoxAssist - do not touch this message until all but the first file show green. At this point your scanner car files are updated. You can then click Yes on the pop up window, which will then turn off and update the FoxAssist software itself (you can say 'yes' to remove the old version from your computer). To ADD EXTRA CAR BRANDS to your scanner. OPTION 1 You can only pay with PayPal (doesn't appear to accept credit cards). Go to this page (no need to log in), select the Language and the Version (the car brand), add to cart then proceed to check out. BE SURE to send them a NOTE with the Serial S/N number that is on the back of your code reader, otherwise it will not work. It can take several days to receive the files. I think then you should just do 'an update' for the scanner (see above) www.foxwelltool.com/wholesale/software-authorization-for-nt510-multi-system-scanner.html OPTION 2 see this kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qNhhndx3zNfcgJ8.html SHIPPING is with Fedex so have your credit card (or cash) ready to pay for extra import and tax FEES before or upon delivery - otherwise the Fedex guy will not leave the scanner. I paid some $30, Fedex will text you the amount to pay in advance or at the door Look at the bottom of this page at the table for the DIFFERENCES between Foxwell scanners, read careful for each function www.foxwellstore.com/wholesale/foxwell-nt630-plus-abs-airbag-reset-tool.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI3_j6opaP7AIVzMDICh01wQH6EAAYAiAAEgKKXfD_BwE Please be aware that no scanner can read ENGINE OIL PRESSURE on modern cars. The reason is modern cars only have an oil pressure switch sender (on/off) which doesn't read continuous data like on older cars before 1990's which were equipped with a proper analog oil pressure gauge.
