Thank you!
best reviews of these scan tools I have seen yet. out of all the scan tools I have narrowed it down to XTOOL. my only question now is what are the differences between the D8W and the D9 PRO
Thanks for the review
i wish there will be a comparison video between X100pad3 and D8, thank you!
So faster data transfer and twice the memory. and can graph 8 at once rather than only 6 at once.
I seen the standard D8 as low as four hundred sixty bucks a week ago.. This thing being eight hundred is kinda crazy to me.. Well, I paid seven hundo for mine; So really what I mean is: I can't believe the regular D8 is just over four hundred.. That's a steal for sure.
Awesome video man, seems to be an impressive tool. Im torn between getting this D8W or the otofix D1 pro
I need to order the D1 and compare it to the xtool.
I have an Autel MS906TS and a launch x431 V+ elite and I always tend to grab my xtool but it would be nice to try the D1.
Xtool, trust me. Otofix doesn't have any graphing capabilities or topology, this does. This one is can fd and doip capable, the otofix d1 pro is not. It scans faster too and has faster data transfer. This has killer key programing capabilities as well and the otofix does not. Not to mention the otofix d1 pro is nearly twice the price as this one. Trust me when I say, go with the xtool.
The difference between the two autel and xtool is with xtool your machine will still be working. But with autel when updates run out the autel will be finished it will stop working your money will be down the Drain
Hi i am in Australia looking to do some holdens fords mitsubishi toyoyas would the australian models be covered ?? if your not sure how would i find out ??
When I look under the menu for Australia it shows OBDII, Ford (AU), and Holden. I am not sure if Mitsubishi and Toyota would be different than the American ones or not.
I can't say I would like being bound to WiFi instead of BT, as you would need to disconnect the VCI and connect to home WiFi for Internet. It would be great to have the better hardware specs though. I haven't seen the new D8W on major sales sites yet to see what the price difference is. A long while back XTool stated they were going to move the D8 and D8BT to Android 10 in an update, but that never happened. Does the new VCI still have the flashlight? I always took the volt reading with a grain of salt because it was just the initial reading and didn't change as the battery voltage changed. Thanks for the look at new new D8W!
The VCI doesn't connect to your home WIFI it automatically connects to the scanner using its own wifi. No setup was required to connect the VCI to the scanner. In other words, even if you do not have wifi at your home the VCI connects to the scanner directly.
He is correct, I own this scan tool. It does not need wifi to connect to the vci.
I think he means if you are connected to the D8W wifi adapter, if you want to check something on a different app on the internet you have to disconnect from the D8W wifi and connect to your home network. I'm also wondering what would happen for cars that require you to be connected to the cloud.
@@breezyacresfarm I will have to check that and see if that is the case.
@@breezyacresfarm that is not the case either. It has a it's very own separate connection between the vci and the tablet. You can be connected to the vci and still connect to the actual wifi to use apps, or surf the web.
Nice video on the D8W i really like the Xtool scanners.
Sucks i just bought the regular D8 in September and now Xtool comes out with D8W 😢
Wonder if Xtool would to some type of buy back so i can upgrade to the D8W? The like the fast refresh rate on the D8W !
Thanks.
So a couple of years ago when I bought my D8 they came out with the D8BT so I emailed them and asked if there was anyway I could either upgrade the D8 to a D8BT but they said I couldn't upgrade it but if I wanted the BT I could buy it on Amazon and they would refund the money for the D8 and send it to them. So that is what I did.
Awesome thanks for sharing that info.
Xtool is good like that. They are so helpful, responsive, and easy to work with.
I did the same thing 737mechanic did, got the d7 in March of this year, middle of July i then needed the pmi of the d8 and contacted the xtool store on Amazon where I bought it and they offered the same thing to me so I up to a d8
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 ?
It comes with 3 years free updates after that it will still work on the years of the last updates. It will scan for everything you said but I as far as bad head gaskets, other than doing a relative compression test on some fords no scanner is going to scan for bad head gaskets.
Great video ,but tool is good to till it stops working and warranty is two years but good luck to anyone with getting anything . My Tool D8 stop to work after few months and I reseved zero warranty , it is impossible to get fix or to claim warranty from XTool .
My D8BT is coming up on 2 years old and is going strong.
@@737mechanic that is good , I wish my lasted bit longer .
Yup not sure what went wrong 1 year on d8bt

So what is the major difference between the two besides the price?
It looks like just the same to me.
The major difference is the VCI which is the little dongle that plugs into the OBDII port communicate with the scanner using Wi-Fi and the BT version uses Bluetooth. Wi-Fi has a longer range so if you needed to walk in the house or another part of the shop with the scan tool you would be able to have a longer distance and still be able to communicate with the car.
@@737mechanic
Can you use the d8w dongle on BT? Will that work with an upgraded software?
@@adams6798 No
The software is the same except for the look.
Which is better wireless vci or wired?
I will always go with BT over wired. The only thing I miss about the wired is it charges through the cord when connected to a car so it always stays charged. The BT version you have to plug it into the wall and charge it from time to time.
No scanner will do a late model Ford or Mazda PCM or any major modules for that matter.
When you say late model how late are you talking?
I notice you were downloading everything including cars from India and Africa 🌍 imho your taking future downloading space away. ?
Yea, I just hit download all, if it ever comes to a time that space is running low I will remove the manufacturers I don't need.
What about if you don’t have WiFi?
You do not need wifi to be able to communicate with the scan tool. The VCI uses its own wifi signal to connect and communicate with the scanner.
Where are they hiding the OBD 2 functions???
If you click the left-hand car icon it opens the manual entry selection menu and the OBDII menu is there.
Thanks@@737mechanic
Shut it down man you just got started keep going😅
XTool D8BT charger / charging port is stupid. 2023 and no Type-C Port lol 😂 I sent it back
I would much rather have a real charging port than a USB-C charging port.
@@737mechanic everything nowadays is type it’s much more better in versatile with type C man I don’t know where you’re coming from
Why does it matter. lol.. It gives you the cable.
I have the standard D8, which is direct wire to the car.. So it always keeps it charged as you use it.
So none of this matters at all. I got a 10ft extension cord for the DLC so I can still go anywhere around the car that I want. Plus the regular D8 is under five hundred now on some of them. Granted there are better scantools out there, but definitely not at this price point. If not having type C is what turns you away, then you're shopping for all the wrong reasons. lol... Just go get the thinktool Pro- you can't go wrong there
@@calholli think tool launch and top Don are awesome
@@TurnThemWheels Because for charging a power port is more robust and charges quicker than type C. For small batteries such as phones Type C is fine but the D8 series scan tools have 10000mAh batteries.
Every one of these new ones I've seen the d8w on eBay and Google has only got 64 gig of hard drive space same as the older. D8
They both have 64G of ROM but the D8W has 4G of RAM where as the D8 has 2G of RAM.
