It reverts, confirmed in the Q&A section of Amazon and by emailing the company to ask that exact question.

I thought about returning it but for 60 bucks im going to hang on to it, im sure it will come in handy in the future.

Scan tools will only show you what the car will show the scan tool. Some with show misfire, some will not. I showed multiple vehicles to show they are all kinda different in what they show - I was nto very clear in pointing that out in the video. I have a different scan tool I'm using on my '61 Chevy that shows missfire detail, and I KNOW it's been misfiring, but nothing shows up on the (different) scan tool. It's not always the tools fault, but more the limitations from the manufacturer.

I only installed it and it showed up that way. I don't have any magic here.

Only you can make that call. All of the scan tools I have reviewed have their strengths. I try to test the product to show you what it can do, to help you make an informed decision. I would certainly recommend finding other reviews (not just mine) to help guide you.

When I got this scan tool months ago, I believe it was "pre-release." It's possible it still has not been officially released yet.

Thanks Greg, I keep checking, it looks like it has a lot more features than my old Maxi Diag and easy to work thru, using the tablet, instead of a smart phone. Read that easier for the old guy to see. Very nice!

Amazon has it

I believe it was initially the Lite version, but I had them activate the IMMO for me, which is part of the Pro version. I wasn't able to program the TPS, which is also part of the Pro version.

Thanks, good to know you can upgrade from lite to pro!@@GregWellwood

The scan tool only talks to your phone. My phone is too old, so I used a new tablet, which has a screen big enough for you to see what the scanner does. Were you watching this on a phone with a wee tiny screen?

I believe it is the same app regardless. I used a new tablet because my own phone is too old and I didn't want to upgrade the phone just yet..

I have an Android 11 phone and could not load the App, making the thing useless. Can't get a response from Topdon in a week so far. Trying to get a refund.

done some research turns out you after pay again. The tools will continue to function without a subscription; however, the tools will not be available for updates and the tool will no longer be covered by the warranty, and programming functions may be inaccessible.

Sounds like it turns into a basic scanner at that point. I'm on the hunt for a full-fledged "pro" level scan tool that does everything, but needs no subscription. I suspect that sort of thing is on the way out - everything, it seems, needs a subscription nowadays.

⁠​⁠@@GregWellwoodThe closest I've found with free lifetime updates is the Xtool A30M for $170 that I recently got but haven't had a chance to play around with much yet. I sent a message to Topdon about the Topscan and they said if the software is not renewed after the expiration date only the OBD function can be used.

I'm playing with it, I'm showing you how I work my way through an app, I'm showing you how to learn. Any app should be relatively easy to figure out just by playing with it; if it isn't, I'm not interested in it. If you want a specific step-by-step process, this isn't the video for you. I teach my students to "get in there and figure it out" when it comes to apps and scan tools. The scanner cannot wreck anything, and every car will show different things - as I show you in these four vehicles; I'm playing with it to see what each car will give me. Even if I show you exactly what I do - your car will be different than the four different cars I show here. As for not being able to read the screen - are you watching this on a phone? Have a great day!

@@GregWellwood Interesting. I agree with the OP - too much of not much going on for most of the vid. Consider just leaving out everything that is not providing information of value. 😊😊

@@jonathanm9436 What would you prefer to see, in looking through an app and the options it provides? Scan Tools themselves are actually kind of boring.

@@GregWellwood Maybe a high level statement/diagram of the key features and their uses. Most people would be watching you to learn something new. I watched you having narrowed down this product, and wanted to learn what real value it would be to me as an inquisitive performance car owner and maintainer, but not a hardcore car nut. It will be obvious to you now what should be chopped. Ask yourself, what can I teach here? 😉

@@jonathanm9436 Beautiful. You have been wonderfully helpful. Thank you.

yes-yes-no-no-yes-no-yes-no-yes-yes-no. lmao jk

@@enlightenCA The First answer is NO Fourth answer is YES per TopDon Support

Different vehicle :) 1961 - the environment hadn't been invented yet. Or seat belts.

@@GregWellwood 😊

Ha!

I didn't do that in the past, and it didn't brick when I diconnected the battery. Might have saved this time it if I had. Might not have. I will certainly be doing that from now on though...
