Matt, I will be a fan of your channel for life....Please continue doing what you do, exactly the way you do it !

I've got one if this some month ago and have to say their customer service is exceptional. I connected to a Mercedes E350 and you know how picky are European car with generic scanners. In my case I couldn't see the ABS module. I contacted them and within a week they developed an updated file that allowed me to successfully see live data on the ABS module. They even asked me for a follow up days later to make sure that worked!!

Thank you. It seemed like I would be spending all day trying to figure out which scan tool would be my first. After seeing your video I knew this one will be it. It's on the way here now, and I am on the way to your channel to watch more of your videos.

I saw the XTool D7 demonstrated on another KZfaq Channel, and like yourself, the host gave rave comments. I liked the features and capabilities, but it was the bi-directional testing, and remote control, capabilities that sold me. I jumped, no regrets. Well, one regret. Up here in Snow Country all of my toys are put away until Car Season, usually min-April. So, I haven't had a chance to play with the D7 yet, other than taking it out of the case. But, soon, very soon I will be breaking the pony cars out and on the newer cars I will begin to play (1997 Honda Del Sol SI, and 2020 Shelby GT500). There is not a thing wrong with the ODB2 capable cars, to include our daily driven SUVs. But, if nothing else I want to begin getting familiar with this tool - just because. Thank you for an excellent review.

This is so cool, I had actually got this scan tool on black Friday of last year (2022). I'm just now learning how to use it or finding the time to. I actually came across this video when you first put on youtube. Also, I thought it was neat how out of all them scanners this is what I picked and I got it for a little over 300 new. Thank you brother, I have learned a lot from your videos!

I own a D8. I keep learning what it can do for me. Thanks.

WOW!!!!! all that for less than $400 with 3 years of free updates. I am going to buy one to keep in my truck with me at all times. Xtool is going to sell a boat load of them. Thanks Matt

Great review from a very trustworthy source, I'm going to buy either the A30m or D7. Thanks for the continued great videos. 🙏

Back again from your fuel trim diag videos!! I'm in the market for a proper, pro level scantool and trying to research them all is pretty effing overwhelming...but when I saw ur review and given my implicit trust in your opinion/integrity in these matters, well, let's just say I need not research anymore...I'm sold...thanks man!

I bought a D7 a few months ago because I was looking for a reasonably priced replacement for my old Snap-on brick. WOW! It's incredible. Still learning all the functions.

My d7 just arrived a couple days ago and now watching this review sounds like i may bought a good tool...lol... great review btw..thx.

You are the MAN Matt, thank you again for another great video.

Great Video as always! I just ordered one. I've been wanting to update my scan tool for a while now.

That's a really cool tool! Thanks for sharing it.

I bought one some months ago bc no one wanted to work on my Promaster and heard dealership was $$$$$ & nightmare. Contacted seller of Ram PM as to why he was selling so cheap, "270 mi on used 2018 and dlrshp told me to come get it, that they couldn't fix it!" I got mine running and showing no codes. Not finished putting it all back together. In driveway In Wis, doesn't help. Bought '08 Highlander to replace PM for my winter trip(s) south. It statrted acting up but I got it running again using the D-7 Xtool and I couldn't be happier. Just the Highlander fix mor than paid for the Xtool !! Bless you Matt !!! I want to learn more !! Wish my daughter was still in Aurora so I could come sweep your floors or something Matt !

Well Matt, you sold me. Just ordered from your link in the description. Hopefully you make a few bucks from the sale. Well deserved.

I own an Xtool D7 and D8 they are both very capable bi directional scan tools. Amazing how low the price is for the technology. Nice review Matt!

I’ve been following this guys channel for a long time. I very rarely post comments but the amount of valuable information he gives is incredible! Thank you for sharing!! Keep these videos coming

great video also i bought a blank key fob on ebay the stealership wanted 90 to program it. bought this tool and programed the key fob in 2 minutes time. already a 3rd of the way to paying for it.

I’m just your basic diyer with decent mechanical aptitude. I’m now retired and certainly can’t afford to take my vehicles anywhere to have repairs done. Currently I have a BlueDriver but desperately need to upgrade to a serious scan tool. I’m going to buy this one strictly based on your review as I respect you as a mechanic. Appreciate your videos!

Glad to see you advertising scanners now...

I've had a D7 for over a year now, and although I'm pretty sure I paid more for it than $400, it's generally been well worth it. Not all sunshine and roses, but more good than bad by far. I own a 2004 Chevy Trailblazer 2WD, and initially, it was awesome for that, but somehow after a software update, it decided that Chevrolet no longer made a 2WD version of the Trailblazer for the 2004 model year, and I contacted support about it, but I've never gotten any resolution to that, that I'm aware of - I haven't checked recently because I've been immersed in dealing with several other family members cars, for which it has been very useful (except for my wife's brand new Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, which isn't recognized yet). The best answer I've gotten from support on the missing 2004 Chevy Trailblazer RWD, was to "buy the D8", but their website manual doesn't list the RWD version as a supported model either. When my subscription runs out, I'm more likely to just buy another one, rather than renew, because I expect to have well worn this one by then...

Powerful tool! I own a D7. I wish there was a way for a novice DIY like myself to learn its powerful capabilities. Currently, you have a to be mechanic to understand what function to use to diagnose a problem.

I want one! I could play with that for weeks.

I got a D9 pro last year to go along with my 14.4 Modis.... The D9 pro BT (Bluetooth) is very similar to the D7 software wise, it was hard to make a choice but I liked how I can be in the house getting dinner started, while I keep an eye on engine temperature etc with the Bluetooth. I also like that I don't have to sit in the car to actuate stuff, especially if the interior is real nasty 😂 I've plugged it into quite a few vehicles.The Xtool is good value and I'm basically happy with it but found it slow to bring up VIN screen on vehicles that don't self identify 😴 I've also had topology not recognize modules that I know are there and offer to turn off only 4 injectors on a V6 Caravan, so if something seems missing consider that. It does do a lot of tests and it's helped saved the day to help rule in/out issues. I would buy again and they do tons of updates.

Hey Matt. Greetings from Ontario. I've owned a D7 for a little while now and with every new update, that tool just gets better and better. I've had fantastic customer support with xtool as well. I also have the A30m. It works pretty good for the price too.

I have the D7 and have been very happy with the unit. The only thing I wish xtool would improve is the graphing feature. The live data scaling is auto ranging and can not be manually set. Moreover, although you can zoom in 3 levels on the x and y axis, it won't zoom in low enough to look at say oxygen voltage range of 0-1 V. In playback mode it generally scales much better but is a pain to switch modes. Wish they would add manual scaling capability. In the report tab, there is a data view button that is a mystery to me as can find no info on the functionality. It's been a great unit for capabilities and value. Nice review and learned something new with the remote feature. Cheers!

the xtool a30m is a blue tooth dongle version of the d7 (it might be missing a few special functions and remote control im not for sure) and cuts cost down too $175 because you have to use your own phone/tablet,the only complaint i have is the live data graphing kinda slow but that might just be my phone being slow, and unable to graph multiple items but its the best bang for the buck still

Thanks man,...You rock!

Nice recon ! Thanks !!

Outstanding presentation, and I sensed that your validation was absolutely amazing. Can you check and see if the GM 2017 SS (American version of the Australian Holden) is covered with this D7. I have looked at so many reviews and comments, and very glad I ran across yours! I subscribed and also really look forward to checking out your other presentations!

Thanks again Matt for a great video. I purchased the D7 on Black Friday. I’ve been watching your channel a long time. It would be nice to see more diagnostics using this tool. Thanks

Thank you for the review It is a good deal

Made my purchase thank you

Wow, I'm going to have to buy one of those damn things!

I have 1 of these-works decent, its bat charges when plugged into to vehicle too. only thing is slow to display real time data especially if i scroll down-up.

hello Matt.keep up the amazing videos .always love watching them.have you by any chance used the D9pro?and if so ,what is your feed back on them please??????

I have the 800bt it look like a very capable scan tool

I have Anyscan a30m tool from them, great tool.

My xtool d8 is coming in today... Excited..oh its bt as well...

I have the d8. Great tool. It's done everything well so far. I went with the d8 because at the time it was advertised as being CAN FD compatible. I don't know if the d7 is. Both can do alot for the advanced diy mechanic. Xtool accidentally added topology on a previous d8 update so that's awesome 👍From what I hear it's only available on the higher end models. It's not supposed to be on the d8 so don't expect to have it if you buy a new one

Your a good teacher

I called it 2 years ago and some people didn't like it: Cheap full functionality scanners are coming! A scanner's hardware is run of the mill and off the shelf. Software is the only thing that matters and it's not hard to reverse engineer what others already did.

Great review

Matt THANKS for this vid im resrchng/learning about these BiDir scantools now i want/need one your vid is the best on this xtool (carecare nut and others DONT show the tool just say buy it) I ordered a D7S & played w it seemed to do a TON for my 1997 GM (noticed here for u as well w GMC) but did nothing for an 01 Honda so i returned it... Matt what other Amazon/lower price range scanners are good to get... Autel ? Foxwell ? Thanks

Considering the D7. Appreciated your video. Trying to find information on how the tool would be serviced. According to xToolUSA, you buy from China and deal with them. Reviews have been favorable, but no one has commented on the process of dealing with China other than a few negative comments w/o resolution. Anyone worked with China?

Hey Matt. About to take my D7 out of the box finally to check some fuel delivery issues on my wife's car. Very excited. Do you have any updates? Any new tricks you've learned for it? Any shortcomings you've uncovered? It'd be hard to complain given the price, but I was just curious if you had anything to add. Thanks again for doing what you do and how you do it. You are appreciated man.

Let's see you do a video on this computer on a Chrysler product 2018 and newer with a security gateway module !

Hi matt . I really enjoy both your pay channel and your KZfaq channel. I trying to catch up on all the videos in order over the years . That gonna take a bit. Question my current scanner charges me money per year to have bi detection . Is there a fee on this scanner for the bi direction controls . Ty so much for helping so many people.

Thanks matt

Ya can also program keys get key codes I believe I have d8 and it does and also has tpms functions

Very interesting. I am curious about the EEPROM functions and if the tool allows you to dump the memory of controllers, to save it and then restore it to a new module (like Forscan does for Ford), or even allow you to change memory. Thank you for the review.

u channel amazing interesting gooood language ( clearly) professional

Love my d8

Wow, if I didn't already own the D7, your video would make me want to buy one BUT after my experience with it, about the only thing I was able to use if for on my 2007 FJ Cruiser was programing a key. Yes, it gave me some readings that were of some help, like transmission temperature but my codes are inconsistent and lights are still on on the dash. It runs fine but I'm always worried driving it. The manufacturer of the D7 has not been helpful AND I would not buy it today based on my experiences with the product or lack of customer service. I've also been to 5 different mechanics, none of them fixed it....that's why I bought the thing in the first place, thinking maybe I could find something. Yet, it appears I'm not any smarter than the 5 mechanics who didn't fix the problem. They all just loaded the parts cannon but didn't fix anything. Even had one dummy that replaced the brake light switch because he claimed that would fix the dash lights. And my wife wonders why I want a pre-computerized vehicle!

I've had the D7 for some years now and I can confirm this tool is a great asset for any DIY who is willing to learn. The free three year updates was a great selling point for me too. You did a nice job with the review and keeping the video at 15:00. That's a hard thing to do. The only bad thing is, your going to get a thousand questions asking: Does this work for (insert a specific vehicle here) ?

I bought one of these new Xtool D7 scanners and it would not even recognize/connect to my 2020 Mazda 3 car! I took it back and bought an Autel MK808s which connected great and is way better is every way!

Does it show the PID numbers on live data? Eg transmission temperature so the PID can be imported into other gauges. Love your work, you have enhanced my mechanical knowledge ten fold 🙏

I've enjoyed your channel for a number of years. But just a DIY'er. I've run into the need to retract parking brakes on a brake job. Will this do that? Thank you for for your clear and very concise instruction.

When are you going to do a review of the updated xtool d7s. It is updated of the xtool d7. Almost a xtool d8.Which cost double the tool d7s. Thanks for the review.

Great review. Can this scanner clear history codes as well as active codes. I have a Silverado that is displaying Steering Assist Reduced that seems to be stuck as a history code and I cannot get rid of it. Also can you adjust steering angle with it? Thanks.

Awesome review. Wondering though if bidirectional functions are possible on all obd2 cars or only a certain level/model year of cars. For instance I have a 2007 bmw, will bi direct work on that unit? Thanks!

Great Video. Im on the fence if I want to buy this one or pay a few hundred extra for the Autel MK808TS

looks like a gamechanger..as far as value of pricepoint., . 2nd vid ive seen that is enticing. have u used the thinktool pro,. if so how does it compare? thanks

Certain parts of Calif need the 'clear flood mode' stat !

Thanks for this video. I did a lot of research on buying a bi directional scan tool. Up until this point all I ever had was a basic code reader that only showed some live data from the ECU, and did basic functions like clear check engine light codes. As my diagnostic ability has grown over the years, I was in a really tough spot to take certain things to a shop to have things done I know could have been done myself with the right scan tool. After doing months of research across different tool manufacturers I ultimately decided to go with XTool. At first I was skeptical, most people who use bi directional scan tools are usually using Autel, or Launch. Top Don was another one shops seem to be using as well. Obviously getting a scan tool from Snap On was out of the scope of my budget. XTool seems to be the best value for the money. I seriously considered the XTool D7. I ultimately decided to go with the XTool A30M. Things that drove my decision was tool functionality. The A30M is cheaper, the software if used on a Android tablet or phone looks, and functions the same as the D7 minus a few special functions that in my mind 99% of Di-yrs will never use. The best part about the A30M is lifetime free updates. This is one of the biggest draw backs when trying to find a bi directional scan tool. Paying money to keep the tool updated for a DIY person does make a whole lot of sense. I know the argument is not updating, but I have herd, and seen some tool manufacturers that will limit functionality of the tool if the updates are not done. There is a lot of companies out there making scan tools these days, and it is difficult to figure out what tool will be appropriate for a advanced DIY'r. I can say that XTool is a solid choice across the board. They have excellent customer service, and they offer a whole line up of tools that can fit any need even for professional shops. The D7 is no exception.

Hey, I came across your diagnosing video from years ago with just a text light in hopes to bring me up to speed with my “crank, no start” issue on a 2006 Lexus GS 300. What makes this diagnosing process difficult for me is that these motors were direct injected and had problems; especially the 2006, with it being the last of the 3.0L flagship for Lexus. I’ve been up to my neck with trying to chase the issue. If you are willing to help or share some of your knowledge I can give you the run down of what I have done so far and where I’m at, as far as diagnosing/ repairing / replacing goes. Thank you in advance for your time.

I’m very interested sir. Can it do EPS calibration on a Hyundai?

Hello I have the A30M by Xtool the little brother to that one for the most part bidirectional and bluetooth that runs off of android phone and I think it runs on apple too. I currently have it on my Samsung chromebook tablet, which has a screen recorder with sound not thru the xtool device. You did not show the graphing mode of the o2 sensors, and it was in that mode I could not get the recording function on the xtool or it was not there. So the tablet allowed me to watch o2 sensors, how accurate well it is sluggish but the video in the screen helps. One other thing the A30M is geared for DIY homeowner and it has lifetime updates too. Yes being retired I could not justify the 400 coin but 200 coin seemed reasonable. Wait till you get use to it, it gets easier to use, it is a learning curve. The remote thing yeah mine doesn't have that, but the remote thing it would need to be connected to a phone for the remote to function.

I have the D8 ... It's a pretty great tool; but it was $700. It's particularly good a making IMMO keys and pulling codes for keys; I'm not sure if the D7 is as capable or not on keys. They also have one called A30M, and it's basically the same software (mostly), but it uses your phone instead of a tablet, and it's under $200.

did you pay for this tool or did you get the scanner free?

As of now, price is $459. I'm sure it's still a great value, but very interesting in the timely hike in price, (or untimely, as it were).

Just a follow up on my XTool D7 I purchased less than a year ago. After downloading the latest updates a few weeks ago, it turned off and will not turn back on. I tried various chargers, wall outlets, and I even tried plugging it into my car's OBD 2 port, but nothing. I contacted various "customer service" reps both by phone and email, yet not one reply. I'm not cautioning against buying this scanner, but make sure you're purchasing through an authorized seller. I bought mine on eBay from a "trusted" seller with thousands of reviews who apparently stopped selling on eBay shortly after my purchase, (judging by the date of their ratings). Turns out my 1 year warranty is worth exactly dick. Lesson learned. It's money I couldn't really afford to lose, but it won't happen again.

Will this scan tool provide system headlight malfunction codes in a 2020 Toyota Camry? I believe these codes are Toyota specific warning ⚠️ codes

Thanks for the review. I'm hunting for a scan tool which will not break the bank. D7 seems tobe a feasible option. Can it do a transmission re-learn, required for the Subaru CVT's for example?

Excellent review Thank you! Do they make a blue tooth version? Does it have access to the secure gateway module on FCA vehicles?

Just watched another video about the d7. ABS light was on but showed no codes in the module according to this scanner. It DID show no activity on the right front wheel sensor in live data though. Switched to a different scanner and it DID SHOW the appropriate code for it. ????? Thoughts?

Can a TCCM relearn be done with a xtool d7

Matt, can this tool help me program a used computer for my 2014 Expedition? Thanks!

I heard good things about the D7, now they've come out with the D8. But I'm not a pro, I'm a DIYer and as soon as possible I will be getting the D7. Sadly, I don't have the funds at the moment.

Just curious do you have to something plug into obd connector while in the remote function i see when your holding the scan tool it has a hard wire for obd connector.

Are you able to graph live data with the d7? Like fuel trims and o2 sensors for example

Just watched your video. Don't know if the price is. Correct the link says $614. Let me know if this is correct. Thanks, and great tutorial on this tool. I got to have it😂

Link reveals 2023 model at $459 .. as of Sunday March 26, 2023 I noticed that your tool had a (1)notification…maybe update? My autoenginuity only goes to 2012🤦🏻‍♂ Hey.!.. 💁🏻‍♂CRS👀for me .. and out of date🤷🏻‍♂ ✅Thanks for your time & info👍

I have a D7 and D8. (Recently received). I find that neither does much with my early Dodge minivans (up to 2006). Either Dodge has locked all the functionality or XToool is geared more toward foreign vehicles. Really disappointed because I had high expectations. With these vehicles it's little more than an OBD2 scanner.

Hello Matt. Awesome video. Does it require a subscription to keep getting updates? If so how much is it set at?

I am having difficulties with Ford powetstroke and Chevy duramax, Customer support has not gotten back it's been 3 Days! They don't answer phone calls, can anyone suggest or some insight if it does the midsized pickups diesal? Any help thanks!

Will the D7 reset fuel composition on a 2012 chevy silverado? I do not run ethanol and it is showing Alcohol content at 72% percent on my truck.

I am looking for the Kingbolen K7, What's the difference between the Xtool D7 and the Kingbolen K7 ?

With all these mid price bidirectional scan tools never seen one that will enable you to enter a new code when replacing a faulty tdi fuel injector. Is this tool fully capable of coding a new tdi fuel injector into the ECU. For 2009 VW GOLF TDI as an example ? Or is it just like all the others lacking in this type of practical support?

So if wipers would not have worked, how are you 100% sure that it's not a command problem from the ecm or something else with this scan tool?

i just bought one

I got the D7. I really like it but I'll tell you one that it won't read, 99 Nissan Altima.😅

Approximately how long should it take to run an automatic scan of all systems using an XTool D7? I started a scan and after a couple hours it still says “Scanning…”. I assume it’s still working, but the screen gives no indication that it’s progressing or doing anything. I appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.

Does the D7 still come with only 3 years of patches? (A30M comes with lifetime.) How do they compare in features? (The A30M app cannot run on a computer, bluetooth won't work.)

Any applications on medium and heavy duty international trucks?

Can it reset a nox sensor on a RenAult van?

Does this specific tool have oil pressure readout in live datastream mode??

Thanks for the review. Would someone be able to tell me if this tool supports a Transmission quick learn on a 2000 Dodge Caravan?

do you have to buy anything extra with this scann tool because I seen a video saying with some or most, you have to buy an update or package that work with that particular car brand
