Glad it’s working well for you, I was impressed with the functions it is capable of. 👍

Does it do TPMS stuff? I dont know why most of these scanners fall short of the TPMS function.

Yes

I wasn’t expecting it to have as many functions, considering the price. But it does seem to be pretty good.

Please do a follow up here when you, hopefully, get a clear cut answer. This is the second most important issue when selecting a tool after the pure functionality bit.

39 usd

Sorry, but I am quite innocent, I don’t know what you mean.

For the price, it does seem to have some good features.

I get the same faults pop up all the time, everything works in the car and as you say likely caused by blips in communication.

Update on my one. I've sent the fucking thing back! It won't accept a 2006 4.2 supercharged and will not communicate with the OBD 11 at all. There are about 5 or 6 protocols it communicates with and despite numerous attempts it just comes up with a "Failed" message on each protocol I have a £15 generic code reader that reads the codes and clears them. When I tried the maintenance part of it most of the units like air suspension, gearbox and the like when you have downloaded them which takes ages as there are I thing 12 different ones when you connect with the dongle and it comes up to vehicle manufacturer there is a list of only 11 manufacturers and Jaguar / Land Rover is not on most of them. it did have Land Rover on the brake bleed one but not on the one I really wanted was the air suspension, but alas no Land Rover! That had the 11 manufacturers list. No Land Rover. So after paying out £149 for the first unit ( sent that back for a refund) getting second unit for £119 now that's gone back. Selecting the brake bleed on and just seeing what came up caused the check engine light to come on and when reading the faults with the £15 one in fact eight codes came up. Communicating problems with gearbox and six others. I cleared the faults started the engine again and check engine light went out. Whew!

You would have to pay after the first year if you wanted to update for newer models and extra functions if they become available. It would still work after the first year, just won't be able to update it.

Yes, pros and cons. For a non subscription tool that does the same as this one, would in all fairness cost a lot more. Plus depends how often you’re likely to use it.

@@Bensgarage yes totally, if you need a good diagnostic tool then this is amazing value even with the subscription, but a home mechanic who might use it a couple of times a year, could be better off with a stand alone tool with no subs, like the TopDon AirDiag 600 😉

@@Bensgarage Don't agree. Prices according to Ebay plus - on a good day with discount Thinkdiag2 = $AU 230 delivered. Autel MK808 $AU 470 delivered. Some ads throw in an additional accessory kit with multiple vehicle connectors. Both bi-directional and when subscription is over, the Thinkdiag2 is blocked by a pay-wall to use bi-directional and the Autel is not. (only coding, online etc is pay-walled). I believe Thinkdiag2 cost $US 99 to activate per year. Plus the Thinkdiag2 requires an additional interface such as a tablet and mobile phone to use (factoring charge and operation on the external device) whereas the Autel is a 7' standalone unit. The only neg is the Autel is anchored to the OBD2 port as no bluetooth (bluetooth version is worth more) however many people prefer a direct connection/reliability communication methods. Plus the Autel is very expensive to subscribe $AU 250 per year. Basically IMO the Autel wins if you want to 'keep' the full bi-directional capabilities after subscription expires as many DIY's don't want to be caught and perpetually spend, blocked by pay-wall that renders the Thinkdiag2 back to a normal OBD2 $AU 100 comparable scanner unless you re-subscribe. I am talking about overall usability of both units vs dollar value.

That happens quite a lot. Being disabled with limited feeling in my feet, I pop my shoe off to have a better feel of the pedals.

@@Bensgarage aww, why gotta be such bummer, now i need to delete my comment :(

No the yearly subscription (after the first year) unlocks the update feature, so you can update newer models. You can access all makes and models, after the first year it will still work on all makes and models, you just can't update any newer models without subscribing.

It does gearbox reset, and gear learning.

Unfortunately I didn't test it, maybe get one through Amazon and if it doesn't work, send it back on the 30 day return: amzn.to/3Lh2lUM

I don't have this scanner any more, I passed it on to another KZfaqr to test. It should connect to your car, but I wouldn't know what functions were available without plugging it into your car. The Launch X431 I just tested, definitely had the part where you could put it into transport mode, but again don't know if it would work on your car. A GAP IID tool would most likely do it, but they are fairly expensive.

@@Bensgarage That's brilliant thank you for the reply. I'll have a look into them and see which is best and will do the job. Tha k you for the advice and all your top videos

First years updates are free, then it’s subscription based for updates. The tool will still work after the first year, you just won’t be able to update to newer models.

If you have a Land Rover, are likely to keep it for a while or replace it with another, then I would try to stretch the budget a bit and get a GAP iiD tool. Amazing diagnostic tool for Land Rovers, probably one of the best after the main dealer tools.

@@Bensgarage Yes i have the LR4 and i will keep it for a while so you suggest the other tool? OUF! mad monies.

@@ThePaparaya I have the GAP tool, as do a lot of other Land Rover owners. It is the BEST after market diagnostic tool for Land Rovers. Almost main dealer level, you can change ccf files, code the ecu, properly calibrate the suspension, change the suspension ride heights, you name it, it can do it. There is a big BUT, it's quite expensive.

From what I can workout online, one years full subscription is $100, one year full access to one make of car is $49.95. I might be wrong, best to contact Thinkcar themselves for a definitive answer.

Not sure exactly, but here is the Thinkdiag2 specs: mythinkcar.com/product/THINKDIAG2/61

@@Bensgarage thanks will upgrade soon!!!

@@autotech8326 nice one, there is a link in the description that earns us a couple of quid if you use it (no extra for you).

Neither my GAP tool or iCarsoft LR V2 would communicate with a P38. And I have no idea if the Thinkdiag2 will either, sorry.

Looking at their website, it should do.

No, I have recently tried the ArtiDiag 900bt, that was a really good bit of kit.

I haven't got it anymore, or I would check to see if it would program keys, it definitely doesn't do CCF files, you would need a Gap IID tool for that.

@@Bensgarage Thank you for the answer. I'm very surprised that this tool seems to do some things that the IIDTool dont, like autochromatic mirrors test. I also can test the dashboard lamps with the iCartool LR, not with the IIDTool... But I've perhaps not found the right menu ? Sure the Thinkdiag 2 seems to be a very good tool for the price, but I can't by every diag tools. 😞 EDIT : It's important to know that this tool only works ONE YEAR without paying additional expensive suscription fees...

It was the link in the description, there is a box to tick to activate the discount.

@@Bensgarage oh shit I didn't see that! There goes £30 lol

@@samrodian919 could you cancel it and then buy it again.

I think it will scan any car, you just have to download the relevant software. First year of upgrades are free, then after that it’s subscription. Not sure it that’s for future updates, it might work without those. But I was impressed with the functions on it, and a few others that have bought it, quite like it.

@@Bensgarage thanks Ben yes it looks great will have to invest in 1 save my money in long run when you think it’s bout 50 pound to have a scan done .keep up the good work and great content

@@micklamb9942 if you use the link in the description, you will be helping us out too.

Get in touch with them, they answered my questions fairly quickly. Email address: support@thinkcar.com

How did you get on with the suspension calibration issue? I have the same vehicle etc 😉👍

Sorry, I have no idea. On the Thinkcar website you can select the vehicle to see what is covered and what systems it will go into. mythinkcar.com/product/THINKDIAG2/61

@@Bensgarage thanks a lot for quick answer.

No, I think we had sold the TD6 when I got this tool.

Ive just got the topdon pheonix plus . Bit disapointed in the modules on my td6 . Have you looked into lishi pics and key programming ? Might make some good you tube material

I’m starting a new trend 👍. It’ll be in the car somewhere, being disabled I take my right shoe off to drive. I can feel and move my foot better, shoeless.

For me, the best even though a bit expensive, is the GAP IId tool. So many functions with the ability change ccf files and flash ecus.

Get your hands in your pockets and buy one here: amzn.to/3SUA9YO

Well there’s the thing, the other one wore out. 🤣 truth is, I may have mentioned it before, but I don’t have a lot of sensitivity in my legs and feet. I can feel touch, but not hot, cold or even pain. Taking my right shoe off, I can feel the pedals better.

Does it program keys or rewrite vin?

Well it goes into the SRS module, so I would say yes it does.

Yes it does I've used it to do a Aston Martin and a toyota prius

Fine thanks.

The tool still works, the subscription is for future updates. If you don’t pay the subscription it will still run on the updates you have put on right up to the expiry date.
