Just bought one and read the instruction manual. Your video cleared up some of the questions I had about the EOBD option the manual touched lightly on. I'm saving this link for future reference in case I need to refresh my memory on the Foxwell. Awesome, thank you.
Enjoy and thank you so much for the great feedback.
Thank you for actually cancelling a fault light...not just talking about buttons.
I appreciate your constructive comments, thank you for the feedback!
Fantastic review! Thank you for for sharing this.
Thank you for the great feedback!!
Really useful scan tool, nice!
@nicholas, thanks for the great feedback. _Randomfix
How the F do you use it. Ive tried 10 times to update this scanner never been succesful
EXCELLANT PRESENTATION!
Glad you liked it!
After looking at this video I went out and bought one right away. I have a 2012 Toyota Sienna LE awd, every time I take it in to Toyota I do a diagnostic check to see if it has any issues. That check alone is at least $140 every time, add that up. Enough of that.
Thank you.
Yes, $140 and 1 hour of time saved.
Great right up!! I have the Foxwell Nt520 Pro. Its updated to 2016 for GM vehicles. Foxwell has not supplied an update since 2016. I email them every couple of months and they tell me to wait for it. Very disappointed in the "lifetime" updates. Just fyi.
Thank you for the update, I too have noticed many vendor not updating the software. This month I received 4 scan tools for testing and I sent to back as there was little support. Thinkcar is really good for the time being. We will see how they do in the future.
Nice！
Thank you. _Randomfix
Did you ever come across a red bar? I just updated my brand new 510 elite and while still connected to the PC, I clicked on Settings and it was blank. Went back to the main screen, tried Settings again- nothing. Went back again and instead of the main screen, I got a blank white screen with a growing red bar going down the screen. I unplugged it from the PC and replugged it in, and then was able to see the Settings for the first time. What was that? Thanks so much! Also my main screen layout is 3 icons across instead of 4. UPDATE: LOL That red bar was the "DISPLAY TEST". I must have accidentally selected it, even though the screen was blank. Nevermind. Thanks anyway.
Can you use it on any vehicle as a basic obd2 scanner without the bidirectional feature? Like the NT301
You can basic obd2 scanner on any north American vehicle 1996 and newer.
All very nice but all you did is read and clear codes. Most if not all scan tools do this. It would have been nice to see some service functions being performed. For example, Foxwell claims this unit does a BATTERY REGISTRATION. Not really, because according to the ads on Amazon "battery registration (for the same battery type and capacity with the original)" isn't really doing a battery registration if I cannot enter a battery with another capacity (Ah) or type (AGM vs standard lead acid). I am getting very leary about scan tools that do not do what they should be doing. I am in the hunt for yet another scan tool, but I am being damn careful with my next purchase.
Thanks for the feedback and yes there is a lot more I can show on the video. This tool is old now and let me know if you need a recommendation to something newer and more options within the same price.
@@RANDOMFIX I'll take you up on that offer! Could you recommend a newer tool in a similar price range/function? Thanks.
Great information. I am thinking of buying this model. (I think now it's replaced with the NT530 model).
Question Please For BMW E90 (2008 335XI):
Can this scanner read and check that the alternator is working properly? My battery is not charging all the way and trying to determine if the alternator (or some other component) is not working correctly. Thanks very much.

What you really need is a load tester for that can test the battery and also your charging system. I will give a recommendation for that as well as it can pretty impressive option. As far as scan tool I would look at the Mucar cs4 ua-cam.com/video/qKpf04NHBIQ/v-deo.html or the thinkcar plus which are pretty much the same scan tools. But I have a 40% off coupon on Mucar cs4 code link: www.amazon.com/gp/mpc/A3PPFV5U52UC9B
claim code: 40TNC8H4 (40% off)
Start date: 2021-10-606:00PDT
End Date: 2021-10-2023:59PDT
Amazon: $20 off
And these scantools car help you register a new battery as well.
Here is the link explain the load tester, ua-cam.com/video/Zpe_oOUZsUs/v-deo.html
Good luck and keep me in the loop.
Do you have any videos for ABS bleed with the NT360 Plus? The screen display is very small.
Sorry for the late reply! did you find a solution?
This unit can show transmission fluid temperature too? That's important for transmission fluid change
I believe it did and this unit in this video is a little older. I recommend this model currently.
ua-cam.com/video/7FULWygvHko/v-deo.html
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Can this unit read transmission fluid temperature?
yes
so why did the obd11 feature couldn't read the fault code , and when u did a quick scan it pull up a code, can this reader also look at like fuel injector firing
Sorry for the late reply! did you find a solution?
Dumb question. When selecting the vehicle area, am I selecting where the vehicle was built or where it is actually located? Example, the VIN in my vehicle indicates it was built in Japan but the vehicle itself is in the states. Thanks.
No such thing as dumb question, Choose the country the
Vehicle came from. If it is a Japanese car brand then choose Japan even if the vin indicates that it manufactured in North America.
Can I use this to bleed my brake line on a 2016 Toyota Highlander hybrid?
I would by lying if I answered. I don't remember
Before I get this Can you check transmission temperature?
This is an older unit. I would try this instead currently. ua-cam.com/video/7FULWygvHko/v-deo.html and it will access your engine control module so if transmission temp is available on live data you will find it here. As a general tip you can email support and give them your vin make and model and ask for a list of features. good luck and the Mucar cs4 is almost identical ( I have a video on that as well ) so check the video description for special coupon codes for extra savings.
Does the scanner program Honda HRV key fob
Sorry for the late reply! did you find a solution?
Can you activate the water pump with this scanner? Check communication?
Just off my memory I would say no. You need a little more advanced tool.
Once you purchase a particular make, do you keep the software for as long as you have the Foxwell scanner?
Yes
@@RANDOMFIX Ive had this scanner for a cpl yrs. I have yet to use it. I dont know how. Ive tried about ten times to update this scanner with no luck ever
@@bigtimeify I wish I had your dollars and sense! Or maybe lack there of the latter! Ha! Must be gravy to have all those millions to piss up the wall. I envy your unused scanner.
Will it read and code a new vin number?
Great question and the is no. To code a vin you need a different scan tool. _Randomfix
Which one ?
What is it like communicating with Foxwell Support ? I read through the comments and it sounds like some users are experiencing problems but nobody is talking with Foxwell, the owner and creator of the tool that is malfunctioning.
I have not had to reach out to them in many years.
Hi - I just bought this a scan tool to remove the codes for brake pads like in the video and the device doesn’t have the option for service or resetting. Any advice?
Honestly this video is about 4 years old now. Have you tried to update it? You can use a 12 volt hack trick to suck the brake calipers in but very carefully. It is show. In this video ua-cam.com/video/o1nQY-oBS-Q/v-deo.htmlsi=OEsN_NljHYQ8Qt1j
Thank you, I’ll look into any updates
How do you add other manufactorers to this tool? mine just came with GM and i cant figure out how to add for/honda/toyota/exc. to it.
Good luck I haven't figured it out yet. I got mine with ford and was planning on adding vag and Subaru. I mainly only work on vag and Subaru but since it is hard to find a properly working ford i thought i would have use that as well. I initially purchases the vag software from the wrong website, they have 2 or three websites. The update tool for windows works very poorly the update tool connects about 1 percent of the time and you need this to connect and run properly in order to add software. I so far have payed out 140 dollars to add vag software and still have nothing to show for it. Im going to call it a loss and buy an actual vag tool. Really f these people at foxwell.
@@gruobn7482 I actually figured it out. It's this website:
www.foxwelltool.com/wholesale/software-authorization-for-nt510-multi-system-scanner.html
If UA-cam is gay about the link, just look up "foxwelltool (dot) com"
The site seems scetchy to me but I've been using it for 3 months. I've bought 6 different manufacturers including Honda, gm, Chrysler, Mercedes, and a couple others.
Hope this helps you
Sorry for the late reply! did you find a solution?
@@RANDOMFIX i returned it and got a different model that supports the adding new Manufacturers. i *think* its the nt530.
Can it read fuel trims? And how to do it if yes
I appreciate your feedback Sorry for the late reply, did you get this handled?
can i unlock my radio in my cadillac, replaced it, now its locked, can i get into the module and change it w this??
I think you need a code from the dealer for the radio code or check the owners manual.
work on mercedez benz too
Yes and I would recommend a more recent updated tool
ua-cam.com/video/BdiN4xoj-3Y/v-deo.html
Andlet me know if you want a wired version for cheaper. What do you need to fix on your mbz?
Can I change the idle RPM in live data?
sorry for the late reply . did you get this handled?
So i turn on my foxwell nt510 elite for the first time, and a blue screen in chinease writing and symbols comes up. Is this bad lol?
I think so.
Hi. Can you use this if there is a tune on your car? Thanks
No for that you need a actual tuner and be able to map the ecu.
@@RANDOMFIX what i meant is can i still run this diagnostic tool even though i already have a tune in my mini? I tried to click the bmw/mini icon and its saying "loading, please wait" message and it is taking a long time like nothing is going on. But clicking the 'OBD' icon works and even the live data, vin number info works...What should i do to make the icon BMW/MINI work? Thanks for the quick turnaround🍁
Michael, I'm never ran a custom tune and then a tried to access the oem side ( bmw) on a scan tool.
Can you monitor misfire data live and see counts?
Yes, According to CARB all generic emissions codes and data is worldwide, so crankshaft relearn done properly it stores a "Wave Form" of power strokes from your engine. It speeds up when a bang happens, but slows down when misfire happens. That is a PO300. Crank info only tells what piston are on top dead center but the cam sensor signal shows which cylinder is on power stroke. If it slows, misfire. If lasts a number of cycles, the PCM can figure out which cylinder did not go bang. Now it sets PO003 or cylinder #3 is bad, no bang. Or, if you buy insulated plug wire pliers, engine at idle, remove one and listen for change. It noise changes, good cylinder. No change, bingo. If not wires with coil over plug, disconnect the coil. Same results. No come work... plug, wire, no signal to bang, burn't valve (No compression) same, hole in piston, new engine, etc. it is easy😮

Sorry for the late reply! did you find a solution?
Do you need to pay for the software or does it come ready to plug in? And can you download the software free online to update the device?
This is older device and I honesty have not used it in years. Try this instead for under $200
ua-cam.com/video/7FULWygvHko/v-deo.html
And for under 400 try this
ua-cam.com/video/Ewky_DsA0MI/v-deo.html
@@RANDOMFIX Are those devices for bmw? My bmw is a 320 gt 2016 or 2017 model
Yes
From what i see on ebay you can buy it with the software for ur specific car installed but any car after that u need to buy
These scan tools are a little old now. You would be better off buying this instead

Hello Friend
Can you reset an airbag light with this scanner without the toyota software? I interested in purchasing this particular scanner and i am doing my research. Thank you for your video & time
From memory I would say yes but the scantool is a few years old now. When did you purchase it?
@@RANDOMFIX i didnt purchase one yet. Doing the research first...i'm looking at a few on offerup.
Watch this and buy this.its under $200 brand new with lifetime updates
@@RANDOMFIX I appreciate your response. Before taking it to the dealer for the airbag inspection at $375, i want to see if i can reset the airbag light myself and see if that solves the issue. I can also use this reader for my Wife's Mini coopers. I enjoyed your video and your response. Trying to do things myself to save money and ensure that things get done correctly. Take care & stay safe. You got a like and subcribed from me!
Sorry I forgot to send you link last time ua-cam.com/video/7FULWygvHko/v-deo.html
Once dealer gets your pay the $375 you will be trapped to continue paying diagnostic fees. Please use the scantool I sent the link and I'm here for, trust me you are not the first person to have the problem you are experiencing so it's a matter of find the answer which I show where to go.
Can it see transmission temp as live data to be able to watch the temp rise and set the fluid level accurately? Why this info so hard to find? Does everyone actually believe the lifetime transmission fluid bs?
Can u use this to shut off tpms lights
At best you reset or initialize the system and trouble shoot. But you can not turn off a working tpms light if the system is malfunctioning without fixing it.
@@RANDOMFIX
Got it , was just wondering if it had the tire pressure monitor sensor program that’s all.. thks
After ordering the extra software of other vehicles, how do you add it? Do they email a link to download to device? Also, what is the email for Foxwell US? I have tried emailing them, but never receive a response.
Foxwell has two website, make sure you are using the right site.
about fault code, you don't need to repair the car first, and then clear the fault code?
Write the code down ( view freeze frame data if possible, take a picture), reset it and see if it pops up again.
@@RANDOMFIX you mean if the fault code doesn't occur again, that's ok?
If I clear a fault code ( and I not the dtc and freeze frame data ) and it doesn't reappear I'm happy as a clown. That's not what happens most of time as the code with reappear. Then I will compare the freeze frame data and make sure it's the same code and start trouble shooting.
@@RANDOMFIX sorry sir, I can't totally understand, if I only clear the fault code, and the matter still exists, right?
@@RANDOMFIX thank you for your reply timely.
Does it show misfire data
Good question and this unit is a older now and I don’t recall, please watch my more recent scan tool video for updated scan tools.
The tool doesn't fix anything, the code will be back until you fix the problem. Any $20. scanner will read codes! My NT510 elite bmw so far has been worthless! I can't even log onto Foxwell website, I've tried many times to download updates but nothing...That's why I'm ckg to see if other people have the same problems, so far it seems everyone is trying to sell the scanner!
I think there are different portals for updatig the scantool, make sure you are logging into the right site.
Well I would advise anyone with a dtc to fix it and then reset light. Not fixing the problem and expecting any tool to turn off light permanently is just asking for more problems down the road
Great feedback, thank you for sharing.
why you have only toyota on this scan tool
only comes with one make, you have to purchase additional makes, check out ancel f x 2000 amzn.to/2UqCRJJ instead
@@RANDOMFIX Would you know the Ancel website to view which cars are covered by their software?
All 1996 and newer vehicles in north america except for exotics. So 99.9 of them are covered. If you are driving a lambo then I would say no but for 99.99 it works. My favorite under $200 is the fx2000. Amazing unit. Check the on my channel.
I am a Chrysler cars ( 2003Dodge Neon and 2001 and 2006 PT-Cruisers ) owner and I bought the Foxwell 510 Elite because it is the one recomended for Scannig this type of cars but I have never use one of this tools although I am the self thought mecanic I will like to know how can I find out whay my 2003 Dodge Neon that was runnig perfectlly a few days ago and the next day didnt start and it has 1/2 tank of gas the fuel pump is OK but there is No current in the Spark plugs the starter is working like new I put a new crank sensor and a new cam sensor just in case and it still wont start , ¿Where do I go from there ? ?
