Hey, I like your video's a lot! I am a serious DIY'er from The Netherlands. I started with cheap scantools (ancel). I have had the Foxwell NT624Elite. I Currently have the Foxwell NT644Elite (has more functions and is a little bit bi-directional). I liked those units because of the 'lifetime free updates' but I have noticed that they stopped the updates since the start of this year. For me it is not really a problem, but if you want to work with the newest cars the scanner wont work. I also sometimes use cheap ELM 327 dongles with Car scanner pro, Doctor Prius and Torque. With some dongles I can sometimes switch off things like a seatbelt sound or the sound when reversing. For instance on my dad's 3th generation Toyota Prius. Last week I ordered the Xtool ELM (AD20 pro). X-tool claims it has full system diagnosis. For €28 I am a little skeptic but I am also excited to see if it works. The problem that I have is that those tools aren't always consistent on different makes and models. So I am looking for a good, not too expensive scantool with advanced capabilities, like switching off sounds in a car. There are a lot of brands to choose from: Xtool (like in this video), Foxwell, Launch, Autel, Thinkcar, Ancel, Konnwei, Topdon. When you look for a more advanced tools I found that my choices are becoming more expensive (ranging from about € 300-500). Almost all tools have after 1-3 years a paid susciption. I dont think this is a huge problem but I can rarely find the cost of a subsciption. I dont think its usefull for a DIY'er to have a subscription that is € 200-500+. What I am looking for is a subscription around €100-150 a year, So I dont have to buy a new tool every 5-10 years. What are your experiences with those subsciptions? You have made some great videos about some scantools. Wich one would you reccomend (looking at funtionallity and update costs)? Thanks in advance.

Looks like a well made, quick unit. Good to see it has ADAS capabilities.

Considering for my older Honda’s (Brake line work is in my future) Thanks 👍

It worked on 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 abs bleeding..easy to use.

Awsome Eric thank you great review . I can tell you are or was a mechanic, I got one coming from your link

Oh yes I just bought that for the price this is the top dog totally use I've had no problem with it pick up the Periscope to go with it a complete unit and the Obi-Wan connector for the 95 and older excellent tool

I was thinking of buying the xtool d8s, or the launch x431 pro elite, do you have a preference on which one to purchase?

Does the tool require a subscription to function or can it continue to work on the same car you been using it on afterwards?

does this program keys?

If I buy the tool and my subscription expires can I still use full functionality of the tool for whatever year model any subscription expired and back? If I buy this just so I can work on my one vehicle will it continue to work on the vehicle without paying the subscription or do I have to keep on paying that just to use the tool I already bought?

I didnt see on the list of bidirectional functions for transmission relearn? Wondered if it will do this? Also you keep saying free updates for 3 years. After the 3 years does it lose functions like transmission relearn or other bidirectional controls? I bought a Thinkdiag 2 for the transmission relearn on my buick and after 1 year you couldn't do it anymore without buying another year of service $100 and a new tool only costs $120 with a year of service. I understand new cars come out and you would need updates for the newer cars that come out but taking away most functions that you buy one for is crazy. So just wondering if this is what 3 years of updates means??

What years of OBD1 OBD2 does this go back to

Would this work for 2023 Tahoe suburbans and Escalade

Does not connect to ECU on BMW X3 2006, but can read VIN and basic car info.

Can you help me choose a budget friendly scanner that’s capable of re flashing Trans control modules on GMs.

Is an Android based scan tool compatible with Windows 10 based computer?

Can I reprogram my ECU with this tool ?

Can you still use the scan tool if you don't purchase new updates

Does this program my tpms on my Toyota Auris ?

As well as how much are new updates

Will this work on a 99 ford superduty 7.3L powerstroke to test injector and all engine sensors. Also does it work on automatic transmission problems ,,i know it wont write to pcm or anything like hp tuners does it?? Thank you

On most of my bidirectional controls just says “test completed “ doesn’t say if it’s working right or not

My is A80 pro master Except product that have no Ethernet connection if J2534 Bluetooth don't works or slow process or scanning , I have never seen scanner like this scanner drain the battery from 100% to 45% within 45 min., maybe Xtool should start used Samsung or Sony or other name brand rechargeable battery than put on cheap China lithium battery . The product is good than Autel , Autel is over and over talk of their flaws product , I works with Consultant/Mutt scan for 35 years , but this model come close to automotive scanner for a prices

It's just a shame xtool does not warn you to take your OBD connector back out when you're shut the unit down many times I have left it in the car nearly all makes warn u with buzzing noise xtool needs to get onto this but it is a very good tool other than that

does this program keys?
