OTOFIX D1 Lite - In-Depth Honest Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 лип 2023
- As a professional automotive mechanic I do a hands on review of a Otofix D1 Lite scan tool that is powered by Autel, it is very capable and comparable with the OEM scan tools but in a budget price range. Historically this scan tool would be much more expensive for it's capabilities, I have used many different Autel's in the past and this is a great option for the current market.
In this video I give an impartial review of the OTOFIX D1 Bidirectional scan tool after 5 weeks of use in a professional workshop.
I got sent this scan tool free of charge with no obligations to give a good review, this is my honest feedback based on using this tool and comparing with other previous scan tools I used over the past 15 plus years.

Fuel pump authorisation is a software bug on the FL2/ Evoque.
I use an iCarsoft & it comes up every time I run a scan.
Great job and great review Gerard, they are a very good scan tool for the price💯👌👍🙏😎☘
Thanks Pat, it was great to hear your personal feedback on the scan tool as well 🙏🙏 appreciated as always 💪👌🙏🙌
Brilliant machine i have the D1 pro and use it in dealership every day just as good as the snap on for loads leas
Wow looks like a nice tool, Thanks for the review! I wonder if they have a version with a topology tree🤔
Thanks for watching, much appreciated.
As far as I am aware the topology feature is not added to the OTOFIX range yet, but with updates and new models in the future who knows. There is contact details in the description if anyone wants to ask questions direct to the company.
Yeah hopefully topology can be added. I have some videos on my channel of Otofix d1
@gerardburkeburkesgarage have you tried a launch x431 pros elite? I'm between that and the otofix D1 lite...which is better?
Great review, thanks Gerard❤
🙏🙏❤️❤️🙏🙏
after 2 years free updates will all functions still work including bi-directional or will i have to pay to keep them
Want to know the same 😂
Can the D1 light turn off seatbelt belt warnings from Toyota Yaris 2017
Hi I have same but I can't see any ECU Coding for mercedes benz w211 do you know how can I get Coding for my car thanks
So can I still use this after the two-year free updates if I don’t continue to pay for the Updates?
what about epb service mode? can this do this on many cars?
Can this tool access the security gateway like autoauth or fca ?
How about if I decide not to update after the two years free update. Can I still use the scanner? With no issues. Would VCI still be active. The updates are too expensive for someone who wants to keep one for his personal cars. This tool is $270 on eBay right now but why would I want to buy it if the update is $230
Wonder why no answer to this question
I have an Autel MP808K (No VCI) with a expired subscription and the charge is US$230 to update. Many eBay sites that have this tool with a 2 year subscription with VCI for the same price (and now Bi-directional) These units have become a throw away like printer ink refills
are you forced to update it? Can't you just use it with the current software or does it block you after 2 years?
@baradona11 Not sure. Some scanners limit functionality after subscription expiry. However, paying the same price as a replacement unit is a bit too steep. Are you forced to update your phone?
@@vincekara9446 yeah true, but iPhones do slow down after the new ones come out :D
hey hope you can maybe help me after the last update the expert mode has been removed and unable to preform certain things on vw's
Hello Mike, thanks for watching and sorry to hear you are having issues. As I stated in the video I no longer have this scan tool, I trialled it for 5 weeks when I was abroad.
I recommend reaching out to the company you bought from and you can ask the question as well with the information I linked in the description 👌🙏
Best of luck. 🍀💯🤞
Hi. What does bidirectional function do or help with.
It gives you the possibility to send commands and test some modules of the vehicle, for example you can test if windows up and down work without pressing the window switches in the car.
This is samelike Autel??or similar
hello sir , how could we sponsor ?
Does it work with cars pre 2000
It will work with any vehicle with an OBD2 port
i found this to be very poor was difficult to register machine out of box then it wanted updating but could not get to update the quality was poor not very strong tried to connect to sevral vehicles for no coms or asking for updates the box it came in was good just not the machine and asked for updates and $119 battery goes flat had better diag with a £20 scan tool poor conection quality needs memory card yes lots of functions but wont cover many models
Did you buy from a approved seller? This sounds nothing like what others have experienced while using this scan tool. One user that I know has 1 year approx of usage and it has been flawless.
For me it worked very well and I can say that it's excellent value for money. I hope your problems ease or you get a refund from the supplier, you should not be having those issues.
@@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage was from e bay had good rating I did reset still issues also battery went flat again worse diag I have used I am returning for refund I also found autel don't send code even that was hard
@@andrewfield8573jeez I hope you don't speak English as your main language 😂
