    Just a convenient pocket version of the low end wired scan tool really.
    As with anything auto diagnostics related, you get what you pay for.
    Like you said, it's really a get you home tool in an emergency if the EM light comes on.

      I have the Topdon Topscan and I think it's quite a bit better than this one, while still being very inexpensive. Looks the same size/shape. Does live data, active tests, most of the part replacement and reset functions dealer level software does and not only covers all the DPF stuff, but also the SCR system (which really surprised me). I have a Peugeot and have Diagbox/Lexia, but only really need that for configuration changes and proper freeze frame views (freeze frame is inexplicably bad on the Topscan, no idea why given how good the live data is), and for some tests where you need the full report / feedback (another issue with the Topscan, where you can't really see the full details of the outcome if some tests).
      All in all, it completely exceeded my expectations and as a result, I rarely use Diagbox at all. The portability is unbeatable. I've had it nearly a year, and they keep adding functionality and fixing bugs, so I will definitely be renewing the subscription when the time comes.

    • @stephenjones9153
      @stephenjones9153 11 днів тому +1

      Yes it's £50 a year subscription to use the software.
      I actually bought the £60 one and was able to reset the Engine Management light for DPF soot Accumulation. It didn't actually reset it until I drove the vehicle a few miles after doing the reset.
      You can also reset soot percentage to 0% by telling it you have fitted a new DPF.
      It's paid for itself but I hate subscription fees 😢😢

    Ive got one of these, its crap. Topdon sent it as part of their beta test thing. I used it once or twice and it now sits in a draw unlikely to be used ever again. I cant see the point if it when they already have the topscan which is a very good tool for the money, does everything this thing does plus more and is significantly faster without all the gimicky stuff on the app. Just my opinion 😂

      It was actually not too slow and did everything the expensive scan tools do.
      I actually bought the £60 one and was able to reset the Engine Management light for DPF soot Accumulation. It didn't actually reset it until I drove the vehicle a few miles after doing the reset and the Engine Management light then went off. It hasn't come back on over 2 months later.😊
      You can also reset soot percentage to 0% by telling it you have fitted a new DPF.
      It's paid for itself but they do charge a yearly software subscription fee.
