That was a nice thing you did for your followers by reviewing and recommending a tool, as there are so many out there, and providing some guidance. I am a fan of your honest approach, it is very refreshing. You guys work very hard, it is appreciated.
For the money and simple DIY, this is the best Topdon scanner and the safest one to buy . if you get a more expensive scanner like Pheonix plus or pheonix lite, you get a complete bidirectional coding and much more capabilities and more services but once the two year free update runs out, you lose the online function like ECU coding, etc will be disabled. so you left with a 1000+ doorstop.
Nice tool, looks good. Love the touch screen, mine is worth a lot more $ than that and I'm always trying to tap the screen when it's buttons next to the display LOL
what its really good for is if you want to do your own injectors - diagnose , replacement you can input injector codes and do a pilot learn if you have to , shows all injector feedback etc , etc if you do a little research and learning you can save yourself a boat load with this scan tool or at least no what the problem is before you take it to the shop
Yeh exactly i was hoping to do this review in a diesel so i could show that. Even something as simple as being able to bleed abs brake systems is a game changer and a huge money saver!
Enjoyed your video but have a question please: I have a Peugeot Teepee (model doesn't really matter) but the AdBlue unit has been disabled as the damn pumps go wrong so damned regularly and are £2000 to replace, but will the fact that it has been disabled mean that a scanner will not work or do a health check for example?
I ordered one the other day turned up was the Topbon 500 it didn’t work on my old commodore Grr but anyway I got in touch with them and said my car was too old for that model I need a AD800BT for my car just want to doublecheck can anyone confirm this as I do not want to buy another one for nothing any help be careful thanks mick
Do you have to pay every year in order for this OBD reader to work ? If you dont pay does that still work ? Do you need to have internet to used it ? If you don't updates does that still work without updates ? Out from the box can you used it without wifi or internet ? Can this scan for Fuel Pressure ? And can this scan for compression test ? Is this a Complete diagnostic Scan tools ?does it Scan from 1996 cars going up ? How about Toyota Camry 2001 2.2 Liter 4 Cyl or Buick Park Ave 2003 3.8 Liter does it Scan these cars ? Does this scan for battery ignition parameters ? Does it Scan for a bad head gaskets ? Is this the latest version 2024 ?
Nice work and such a handy tool I wish I had seen this video before I bought a scan tool on Friday. I got one that can do the truck as well 24volt Is this one a dual voltage 12-24volt scan tool?
@@datdom34 Yeah, Nissans of that era have a Consult port (vs OBDII). Mine doesn't go anywhere anyway, since I have replaced the stock ECU with a Haltech.
Hey boys I’m trying to buy a diagnostic tester for a wl statesman v8. It appears to be the only model holden that have no diagnostic testers. What can I do?
Test it on a BF Falcon and see if it can do the steering angle sensor reset - Falcons are the orphan of the Ford world when it comes to their electronics and unique to it, I had an Autel MaxiSYS Pro and it was fucking useless on Falcons but it worked well on Commodores because they share electronics with their US counterparts.
Hello, I have consulted the official this question, and their answer is: "Artidiag800BT does not support to increase the storage capacity, have you had downloaded two languages system, usually, the language system takes up a lot memory. You can reset the device firstly(record your registered mail address and psw), then download the language system or car models you need, also "keep the Silent upgrade software" button Off in Set up, then the unused models won't be back automatically if it's deleted.” Then, based on their suggestions, I made a video on how to delete the software of the 800BT models that are not commonly used, and shared it with you: ua-cam.com/video/l6ZLDcpL3QA/v-deo.html , if you are interested, you can watch it or give your opinion. There are more videos on my homepage about 800BT and other equipment operating the function of the car, you are welcome to follow my account. thanks.

Good review. What features are missing between this value for money scan tool and the more professional tools?
Just ordered this for $335 us. Thanks for the review, helps to reassure.
Got mine today so was looking around online for help on how to use it. Thanks alot, your video was very helpful.

Sweet.. I know what the Mrs can get me for my bday next month now
I’ve been told that using the US Ford option works better on Aus Fords. Haven’t tried it though
I never know is its a good product when i watch these reviews as its given to you guys and possibly not your choice of tool

Neat little tool. 😎
Not 100% sure for you but I have to use an adapter plug with my OBD as the r34 has a non standard port!
@@datdom34 Yeah, Nissans of that era have a Consult port (vs OBDII). Mine doesn't go anywhere anyway, since I have replaced the stock ECU with a Haltech.
@@mrsabidji that's a very fair reason in my opinion LOL
@@mrsabidji Just wish I had the money to do the same mate!
So true, how to get a load of new friends 😂😂
Hey boys I’m trying to buy a diagnostic tester for a wl statesman v8. It appears to be the only model holden that have no diagnostic testers. What can I do?
Can you pair the ABS module with it?
will it do a 1fzfe 105 series Landcruiser ?

Where i can find just obd scanner i lost for topdon 800bt anybody can help me
Any chance if it would work for a discovery 2 td5, most don’t because it’s not standard od2 compliant
It should work bro it support old and new protocols
Is it bidirectional and will it activate transmission solenoids ?
No
How can get more storage ????

How did you trash the handbrake that much!
Like that when we bought it
@@BoostGumps they were busy! Haha.

Well I know what I’m using some of my tax for.
