In this scan tool comparison video, I compare both companies; Autel vs XTOOL. Which scanner is better? Which scanner should I buy? Between the 2 manufacturers, who makes the better products? Which scan tool is best if I'm faced with products from these 2 companies?
Having owned and reviewed products from both manufacturers, here's my take in terms of what to expect broadly from either company. If you've narrowed down to XTOOL or Autel and you're asking: which scan tool is better or which scanner is best? You will find this video useful. Is Autel better? Or does an XTOOL scanner beat it? Find out!
Whether you've been looking at the XTOOL D7 vs the Autel MK808, or the MP808TS vs the XTOOL IP819TP, this should help. You can also see these playlists for individual product reviews from either manufacturer Autel - • Autel Scanners - MaxiP...

Im leaning towards the D7 but wondering what your opinion is, I have a 7th gen Honda accord. Do you think the D7 is more than enough for that car or would something like the A30m be more than enough??

@DIYAutoworksNG 8 ай бұрын

A30M would suffice. Just the lack of support for key programming. Other than that, very good option.

Good stuff I'm backed up the opposite way my Main tool is Autel Mk808BT with second update and I also Have Xtool A30M with lifetime updates as well as Autel MD806 Pro with lifetime updates but that scanner is more OBD2 scan tool not bidirectional. Thinking about upgrading in a year or so to Autel MS906 Pro.

i was looking to get D9S but it have 6500mAh battery with bigger screen & that mean the battery will not last long without charging! while the D8W 10000mAh with small screen & i was disappointed! thats was really weird for me! but still D8 is a beast. Xtool nailed it with their tools awesome features & subscription & prices! i bought D8W & it's in the way. 1752

Great video! Im trying to decide which scanner to buy. I'd like to be able to make keys for older cars, say under 2017 as well as bidirectional features. I've narrowed it down to either the xtool IP819TP vs the launch crp919ebt. Open to other options if any around the $500 range as well. Thanks

I know it's a month late but I was in need of a better scan tool. I ultimately went with the IP819tp from xtool. 3 years of updates, has the added feature for the tpms sensors if I needed it and haven't had an issue with it since I purchased it.

You're welcome. Yea, asides the ones you mentioned there some specialist tools that primarily do those chips. I investigated some of those at some point but didn't commit. If I recall, there's one Carprog and so on.

@DIYAutoworksNG 6 ай бұрын

Some functions in some cars can only be done online. E.g some procedures for Benz. However most stuff are done offline. Fuel pressure testing is supported but not on every car. Tool will work after license expiry. I did a video on this.

@WIZEMART 3 күн бұрын

As far as I’m aware after long long research. *Autel* - if you after expiration date, when trying to update, instead your Autel tablet erasing all previous databases in it’s memory and tells into your face that you are need to pay. *Xtool* - will let you use the tablet with the same functionality after free updates expiration timeframe. There is one thing though (was mentioned by different people several times during free updates period) If you didn’t use it 30 or more days - it requires to make updates first - won’t work without them. So if you out of internet guess what… Set reminders on your phone especially after free updates period!!!
