Saving money on unforeseen auto repairs is easy when you have one of the top OBD-II scanners on hand. Living expenses are skyrocketing, so the last thing you need is to spend a fortune on a mechanic's diagnosis of a problem you could easily solve yourself.
OBD (on-board diagnostic) scanners can be plugged directly into the access port on your automobile to provide a view into the computer of the vehicle. A reputable scanner will be able to tell you whether the check engine light is something little you can fix on your own or something more serious that requires professional assistance. Having all this knowledge on hand pays off and prevents dishonest people from pressuring you to do unneeded fixes.

It's not 200 plus dollars anymore...
is there any of this OBDs that can change dashboard language for imported cars like from Japanese to English?
*This is not a review, it is just a thinly-veiled ad.*
Shame on you.
Yes pure BS.
No real tests or reviews. Just a compilation of adds with some voice over.
Now you can make some review ☺️
Thanks.. i can just close the video. Saved me time buddy.

There is. Look up crisfix he used blue driver
Need this comment pinned! Ty
I bought the Innova 5610 to shop used cars for my son before I saw this video. I paid over $300, but it is still worth it for all it alerts you to when inspecting pre-owned cars, and it's capabilities as explained in the video. The 120+ page manual is through, and easy to understand. Detailed descriptions are given of systems, computer modules and requirements that need to be met in order to be completely trouble free again. The buttons are minimal, well labeled, and navigating through the menus is easy, too.
How many bi directional controls does it have? I have been i balling this
do you work on BMW's VW's or Mini's. How does it work with them?
@@patrickwarden2933 I could not get it to communicate to my 2006 Mini R50. Tried 2 of them.
Good info from all, and to think I nearly made a purchase from this seller .. Google search " Bavarian Dominator - Review Centre"
Does it show live vehicle data, like speed, throttle position, coolant temp, fuel trims. Does it also let you run tests or “special functions”?
Any reviews not mentioning subscription cost is shady in my book. The X431 subscription after 2 years cost more than the unit itself wich is total madness.
Maybe I'm slow but I didn't realise I had to pay subscription fees. Thanks.
After getting scammed by FIXD, I went with the Blue Driver.
While FIXD was OK, they suckered me into a $100 per year subscription, that I promptly requested a refund.
I got the Blue Driver from Amazon, for $89, so that wasn't a bad deal at all.
I own a 2015 Subaru Outback, and while there's never been any issues, at 76k miles, I want o be ready for the inevitable.
I saw where you just posted, have you used the “blue driver” yet, If so, do you like it so far,.. looking to buy one for a family member that’s learning to be a mechanic… thanks in advance!!
@@gillisBR549 I used it, but the scan came back clear.
I can see how this will be an awesome tool in the future, for when things do go wrong.
It's awesome, because once purchased, there's no monthly fee for anything.
@@KentuckyRanger thanks for the info!!
@@gillisBR549 The really sad part about the FIXD scanner, is that it's a good tool as well, and I'd have paid the $60 per year subscription for the service.
But what made me mad, was that they put their $59 scanner on sale, for $20, then duped me into the same service, for $99!
If they hadn't been so greedy, I would have been a happy customer, and they'd have been able to keep their $60...
@@KentuckyRanger , I’m trying my absolute best, to teach these family members ( younger generation) , to watch out for various money scams,… such as what was pulled on you, and I’ve darn well had my share as well!!
I had a blue drive I was checking to see if any one out beat the blue drive when my car was stolen they took everything I'm thankful I got my car back
I picked the BlueDriver
Went for the Innova - thanks
I need something that can tell me whats going on with eletrical. It could just be the ignition tumbler but i dont wanna change that out and that not be the problem.
Which ones support programming component such as Immobilizers, ECU, start motors, batteru adaptation and so on when changing a part
Actual ratings start at 1:15
Thank you!!! You just saved me from a boring introduction I am sure!! ❤
@@ThePeluche25 No worries. Many of us do not have the time to waste on the infomercial part of these videos. Just the facts, man/maam! 😁
Which of these work best in Europe?
Most of them work, however it’s really a matter of ease of use and amount of detail they provide. For something like a bad o2 sensor a cheap one will work just fine. The cheaper ones are just more hassle and less user friendly. You gotta muck around and fiddle with it more. A little more frustration than the expensive ones.
Advertising that pays the makers of this video to most bucks.
No info on which model can scan what car, just based on cost. More info is needed.
Which device works on a 2002 Nissan Xtrail?
Lol own 03 330k miles, maybe will need one in a few yrs. So far would be waste of money 😅😊
I have landcruiser 100 series, 2004. I tried 2 obd2 scanners but they’re not compatible with my vehicle protocol. Could you tell me what should I buy? Thank you
Which one can be used to diagnose volvo 2015 xc60 (after lift) check engine error ?
All
don't waste your time watching
What will b3 best for my discovery 4
Some models of the Innova say they read obd 1& 2 but they dont read OBD 1 on some of the cars they claim to. One AUTO pARTS STORE SELLS THEM but wont accept any returns if they dont work. Crazy!!! Pay around $300 and no guarantee they work on your car!! I dont know if you contacted Innova if theyd treat the situation better or not.
Thanks for the video, , the innova is what i was looking for!
Which one has EPS capability for Honda Accord 2013?
The first to answer will find fortune in the 2023 year.
Thanks in advance.
No FORScan?
Hey guys I really need an answer from one of yall?? Does any of these tools have the ability to program a new or used car computer?? If not can you point me in the right direction?? Idc how much it cost I sale used car so it’ll pay for itself eventually. PLEASE HELP ME OUT???
Man check the autel pro it's got so many functions I love mine u would do well with it its built to b used alot
@@davidcooley5135 I have one as well now and yes it tons of funs
What reader will give live data from the oxygen sensors?
I'm sure the Autel will for sure.
The ones that are ridiculously overpriced costing thousands of dollars.....usually. These OBD2 tablet style scan tools are well past due to become much more affordable.
Autel pro I got mine I love it I can do anything pretty much as far as live right now I can adjust alot of things as I am driving down the road
Man I'm poor as he'll lol my wife picked it out I just wanted a obd2 scanner but she got this one for the money look around on the net at these places thar sales over stock we got ours cheap cause of that
Will this work on 2008 toyota sequoia?
I am interested in it therefore I need one of the launch crp 123x OBD2 scanner
hi, i need to replace a valve body on my subaru forester 2010 tr690 transmission. which of there tools can do a RELEARN on the automatic transmission? thank you
A transmission, ahh none of these, you need the $450 plus scanners, and ive not seen that function on those. So prolly cheaper to take it to a shop or spend $1000 or more on a scanner with that function. 🤔
@@williamgrant7391 quick question?? Can any of these tools program a new car computer or used computer?? If not could you point me in the right direction??
how much
Innova 5610O BD2 normally $339 available for $220
Vs £454 in the uk. Why does the uk price always seem to get super inflated?
It’s called freedom
@blackchuckstable
If you're referencing to brexit, then I'm afraid it was like this before that, too. Next!
@@petef7323 no I mean like the 1700s. That’s why WE get that price.
Brexit!
@@Daveyboy1066 was happening way b4 brexit. nice try tho 🙂
Great video
hard to make a choice off of this without seeing more. the 5160 seems
like a great deal. Can it reset BMW VW Mini modules and perform relearn?
I have the same question as you, I would like to have a conculant answer
@@khaledben6676 I think you mean conclusive* I am looking for an answer as well.
What’s the best obd reader to scan and erase tire pressure light on for 2021 Volkswagen Jetta RLine also I have a aftermarket car stereo that’s why I’m not able to do it?
If it's anything like the other codes, don't turn on the engine, hold the brake and press the start button when the codes appear.
This might not be exact but there are plenty of UA-cam videos for this stuff.
Autel pro cab do that no problem
Some vehicles require a subscription just to use one of these on it 😢
I have the Launch x431 pro and that thing amazes me every time I use it.
I cant find another Tool that works as well as the X431 but I refuse to pay 750.00 for a tool. I want to find a cheaper tool.
@@greggarrison3125 did you find one
Works ok if you don't mind spending 20 minutes to get it to connect to the app when you go to use it. Support? totally useless as there is no live option. Sent an email and waited 3 or 4 days for a reply, and then they really did not address my issue.
whats the best car scanner ever made? i want to buy one for both american, japanese and german cars
If money isn't an issue get a Snap-On OBD reader or better yet get an automotive scanner instead.
Snap on
... And be ready to pay hefty yearly license fees for that level of function and vehicle systems access.
Which one is best for a 2011 Chevy Cruze???
And which is best for 2003 Ford Focus??
@@leonydastheglodenOne Best depends on your skill level, tool box, budget, and mechanic friends. for me the Bluedriver works great. There is no perfect tool.
Is there any ob2 scanners without a subscription?
Yea, that motopower, bluedriver and innova. Launch and autel have subscriptions.
which is the best for honda civic 2018 10th gen FK7 equiped with OEM remote start module ? with customise settings like remote start on / off ?
innova carscan pro is my pick
Is it possible to get a scanner that covers all the systems on Audi & BMW (including battery registration) for no more than £100?
did u find one
@@MasterSelf- not really, I ended up buying a used Autophix 7910 scanner for £40 that has special BMW features on it, but can also work on the Audi as basic OBD2 reader, which I actually used recently to determine a bad coil pack.
How much set diagnosis machine
Thank you so very much this video and information was very informative and helpful.
once i saw the $200 scanner i shut this video off right away
Looking to buy a car scanner for chevy equinox and im thinking innova pro 5610 thanks for helping me get an idea but im going to do a little more research before i pick one.
Help my family pay my bill's! Seek a technician.!
The Innova website does not list VW as a supported manufacturer. Wonder why when it has all the other German brands including Audi.
Yeah Strange....
For all cars
Will any of these remarry a radio in a 2004 Saab 9-5 Linear wagon? This happens whenever the battery is disconnected
Get a divorce
I didn't get the inclusion of motopower in this selection. It's pretty useless in comparison to the rest. You should just have listed 4 and based them on full system scans, bidirectional controls, special function access, Live data streaming and dtc data.
Bluedriver
Scanner for Bentley Arnage 2002 ?
There are some great OBD2 devices. But if you are not an actual mechanic, many of the features shouldn't be messed with. If you are just a plain ole Owner. Having the ability to scan an engine code so that you can have a reasonable discussion with the mechanic is the best starting point. Advanced engine and diagnostic looking into may be fun for the DYI person, but the fact is, YOU ARE NOT A MECHANIC. So messing around with the engine features is not a smart thing to do if you aren't trained as a mechanic.
Sure, there are lots of smart individuals out there who can do vehicle diagnostics but the gross majority of people aren't talented and can do massive harm to the Engine Settings thinking they are boosting performance.
I agree. These are decently Over Priced Pocket Readers at best. Sure, Bi Directional Controls of what? Regardless of Reader, you need Factory Repair Data to support your findings. Etc. Etc...
let people decide
What are you even talking about? Mechanics ARE NOT AUTO ELECTRICIANS they are terrified of this stuff
What you're talking about is an engine tuner which has a J2534 interface, OBD2 dongles are only for reading live data & error codes/resetting them
Are OBD2 scanners normally compatible with hybrid or electric cars?
As long as it has an obd2 port it'll work. Electric is still kind of the wild west so its a toss up of what you get. Hybrid should be similar to ICE.
According to the specs, Innova 5610 does cover hybrid battery cell voltage, no emntion about EV thou
What's the best OBD2 scanner that can erase and program codes for a 2017 BMW 750d xdrive? 🤔
Thank you.
if you simply want to clear codes, takes it to Autozone, Orillys, etc and they'll clear it for free.
@@CPLBSS88 Thanks!
@@h.u.l.k.7072 I suppose I should have added; the Bluedriver seems to be the best for the money, if you want to own one. In personally like having mine because It can be useful to diagnose yourself to wither BS teat what the mechanic is saying or if you're the DIY type it is really a huge help to point you in the right direction when tracking down issues. The other thing I use mine for is when inspecting a used vehicle im wanting to buy.
@@CPLBSS88 Hey David, do you know if any of these can program TPMS sensors?
@@CPLBSS88 can you code the car with blue driver ? Like code in a new battery?
I think you should've included the obdlink MX+ here
It isn't available in all parts of the world apparently, I was interested in it myself
I have foxwell 5130 fantastic to my mercedes
Good job.Please I need blue drive tool help me to get one am in Ghana
no accurate price info, which is primary concern
*It’s not a review, it’s obviously a thinly-veiled ad.*
But it *will* sucker some people.
Which of these scanners can work on a Ferrari
xtool d8
Thanks but you forgot Snap On Scan OBD2 scanner.
Snap on is probably the best scan tool, but you need a few thousand dollars to buy it. I would love to own one.
You’ll be paying subscriptions out the butt though for it 😅
Way overpriced especially for the diyer
One can pick up an older snap Verus pro for around $500 or so. I’ve seen them on FB and OfferUp.
Snap-on? Yeah if you want to sacrifice a left testicle!
Please how do I get on to buy
Do you still need it? Can you provice your contact way?
ThinkDiag + does nearly everything can even detect my electric seats.
Snap on ?
Great information thank you.
Garbage revi- I mean ads, don't bother watching. Like I need you to tell me a $400 scanner is good.
video uploaded 2 years back and title says best in 2025, lol
I’m not a car mechanic and owner of an Ancel AD530, but I got a problem. I don’t know what the normal values are of all the items that it returns when it gives back “live data”. Do anyone know where to find a list of these items ?
Experience!!! There are some common Values, but even most Factory Info changes from Manufacturer and Years and even size of Engine....
Mitchell Prodemand / DirectHit Identifix / Alldata (worst one tho) or just googling a specific vehicle can yield results. Some car dealership can be nice enough to give em to you
Autell
best buget...?😅
New 2023 XTool D7 can be had for about same price (when on sale) as Innova 5610 and can do way more things.
XTool D7 costs $130 more and only offers 3 years update while the Innova 5610 offers lifetime updates. Unless you're a mechanic which will fully use the XTool D7 everyday for 3 years to make more than $130, otherwise the it's not worth the price to pay for few extra options.
Xtool A30 is a bluetooth adapter that uses an app on your phone. It has bidirectional controls on all systems and is lifetime update for $130. A30M just has more special functions but is around $200.
@@michaelmckinney1409 I would never buy a car scanning tool that relies on my phone and even worse my phone's bluetooth to work. If there is a problem, the blame could be 50% on my phone which I never intended to use it to share a manufacturer responsibility to make a device work. I also never had any wireless device(from infra-red to bluetooth and wifi) which is satisfying. Even high end wireless products have connectivity problems since the connection also depends on the device receiving the signal. Wires connections are more stable and reliable.
@@alfaralph7710 I didn't say I would rely on it alone but this is about bang for the buck. I have been a technician since 1987 and am an ASE master as well as a GM master and have well over 300 GM certifications. I have 5 scan tools including a GM Tech2. I program and offer diagnostic assistance and carry 4 laptops with varying operating systems and capabilities. I have a phone dedicated to 2 scan tools one of which is the A30. I have had Snap On scanners give erroneous information and my Launch and this A30 read correctly. Don't be a scan tool snob.
I'm in the market for a tablet type reader. XTool D7 or Autel MK808S? Which one would you pick.
Poor function information. Told me nothing I needed to know!
TDEA 🤔
turn down your audio on your intro. fuck it's loud.
😂waste of money fixed
❤❤😂🎉😢😢
the bluedriver is rubbish. constant issues connecting to it. and the "possible" fixes isn't as helpful as they make it sound. anyone using one of these tools will already know what the DTCs are pointing to.
I agree with you- halfway. It did correctly diagnose an EVAP code for me. That was nice. But it wouldn't clear all engine codes. It just kept hanging up at 80%.
You're right it only runs its own proprietary software which is completely rubbish from what I've seen. A cheap ELM327 dongle reads everything with the right software
