My XTOOL D8BT has already paid for itself in terms of money I've saved. This weekend I easily made a keyfob for my son's Jeep but I've already performed maintenance and other diagnostic work on our cars and also for friends for which the dealer wanted an arm and a leg. The 3 year free upgrade period and fast customer support is what drew me to the XTOOL.
I agree entirely. I totally disagree with this video. The guy made because I've tested both of those units out and I found the autel to actually work much better than the x tool. For example it gave Me actual data on a problem that the x tool said communication is unavailable. I compared the two scanners one gave real data. One made it look like there was a problem with communication to that sensor, which in fact was communicating and giving data. And the weird thing about this video was the guy picks the x tool but then there is an advertisement to buy the autel tool pinned in the comments. I find the whole thing rather weird
Scotty can always pick out the advertisers! Thanks Scotty for bringing your professional opinion into this, rather than this guy who is clearly advertising people to buy the xtool for him to get some money from the discount code!
AUTEL is an unethical company that takes advantage of its consumers. I acquired a maxisys pro in 2015 and had no reason to upgrade its software because it was compatible with all of my vehicles. A free update released an application that works like ransomware and installs a timer that prevents you from accessing the diagnostic part of the tool. Now, all I get is a “Software is not authorized!” message. When I try to use the diagnostic part of my tool The only available option is to purchase an upgrade from Autel for $1400.00. Product knotting is illegal in the United States, and this corporation should be severely punished for what they're doing to their customers in order to create cash flow due to the recent lawsuit Autel settled.
@@nakiajames6226 ok so when you buy the autel you get free year update…..you can pick up the 808 little over 400$ Where you get 1200$ from? You mean 1200 dimes for year of updates? Stop the lies Joe Biden
Good video! I have spent a lot of money on scanners and the worst experience I have had was unfortunately with an Autel scanner. It just stopped whilst underwarranty and the supplier and Autel made every attempt to avoid attending to it under warranty. I still have this new scanner which is useless. So I won't buy one of their products ever again. I have found many better companies to deal with that offer much better products. I only hope no one else has a similar experience with Autel as I did, because it was really bad.
@@gravey07 I am using a Topdon 800BT Wi Fi capability. That means I can down load directly to the unit and also send reports to my computer and print out hard copies. I got tired of downloading updated from a computer and unzipping etc. I believe that Mucar by launch have some interesting units.I know other dealers that use Launch exclusively. Launch also have a very similar unit to the Topdon 800bt. Probably comes out of the same factory.
@@gravey07 My very first little scanner was a Launch. Very cheap and ver simple but very efficient for such a simple unit. My second scanner was an icarsoft unit. and it did not work on my 1996 Jaguar XJ6. Nothing at all. However iCarsoft were very helpful and kept sending me ne downloads but it still did not work so they arranged a refund. I would recommend them on that kind of good service alone. If only Autel were half as helpful I would still be buying their products. It seems to me that some of the cheaper simple scanners like Launch seem to work on older cars. It's when they become complicated that the programming does not want to work fully. Some makers do stipulate that their scanners will only work on cars from 2000 to 2002. whilst many say theirs will work on cars from 1996 but then they state European cars apart from US and Japanese etc.
My first XTOOL D7 would not hold a charge (bad battery); returned it. Second D7 would not do a ABS brake bleed on a Honda Accord. Next, it stopped loading the the diagnostic software. It boots but the software stopped loading. I've had this on for 34 days. It's my third Chinese scan tool that seemed like a good deal but didn't work properly. Just saying my experience so far with the D7.
I currently have the Autel MK808, using it in a small 2-bay minor repair garage in Canada. It has worked well for what I use it for most which is electric parking brake retraction/maintenance and some abs brake bleeding, abs sensor faults. Biggest pet-peeve I have with it is the lack of memory it has for the software it requires and it's ability to update with it's limited built-in memory. I've seen a few of your videos on these machines and really suprised you do not address this issue on ether one of them. Would be nice if you could review their memory requirements and capabilities with ease of updating. Other than that, great information.
The big problem I found with X7 watch out tech-support is China and when you call the US tech-support one 800 number it goes to California to a law firm so I sent the scanner back and yes double check the number dialed at four times
Will the xtool provide malfunction codes for Toyota Camry’s headlight systems? These warnings are Toyota specific malfunctions. It says to take the car to the Toyota dealer.
Xtool wins in my book as Scotty Kilmer recommends it and great to have a preinspection tool for high end cars like Ferrari missing from base Autel models.
I think that was a silly argument, most of people don't drive Ferrari. If I would, I wouldn't test it, I'd buy a new one when it stops working. He should have said some real ads/cons, now I think he gets more support from xtool, and thats unfair. So I'm gonna buy the Autel to compensate them.
And by the way Scotty Kilmer is a troll. He lies always, he is not a mechanic long ago, hes job is youtube. And he says this on Monday and the opposite on Friday. Don't belive him. He just wants a lot of clicks and views, a showman and a clown.
I had the D7, but switched to the MK808s. I’ve got a new Pathfinder and newer Ram 1500, both require AutoAuth. The D7 wouldn’t do AutoAuth for Nissan, but would for Ram. There’s a few more features including the ability to use a scope on the Autel and it’s really not much more expensive.
2005 Corsa C/ Opel Tigra Twintop with Ecotec Z14XEP, starts cuts out. Changed a lot of parts, cleaned, fuel pressure 50psi on fuel rail. Cheap readers showed no faults so bought D7 after they said it would recognize my VIN. It didn't. They got back to me with an upgrade and it found the VIN. But it wont DO anything. At one point I could activate the ignition on cylinder one and saw spark. But it showed only THREE cylinders. Two upgrades later, no change. Expecting another upgrade tomorrow.
I have been analyzing these for a while and I was fooled and I found that this brand does not work very well on Nissan's at all. Is with many of these Chinese scandals. It's pretty much hit and miss. It may work great on one brand and not even work at all on the other

I have question. What scan tool would you recommend for 2003 BMW M5?I own this vehicle and a dodge Dakota and I need a tool that will work with both. I have bought 3 so far from what I have seen on UA-cam but I’m not happy with them. I need something that can read and reset fault codes on said bmw m5 as well as American cars ok . Thanks a lot
Thxs for the tool review. I have a Cando C-Pro and the screen at video time 10:53 is the same. Question and this will make you not want to buy one. To upload updates, is this on a 2.4 GHz or % GHz? Reason I ask is cause I can't get my updates due to the 5 GHz modem. Called Cando and they said only way is by having a 2.4 GHz modem or mail it in for the updates. So based off the screen on the XTool, I'm going to take a wild guess and say it does it's updates on 2.4GHz. Here in U.S. it's all pretty much 5GHz and it's too fast for the Cando to get it's updates.
I thought you were going to compare the tools. You just showed some of the functions of one and a couple of the other. There is more to both. How about the actual performance of each one. Worst "comparison video i have ever seen.

Hi. Which one of these scanners can write or change the vin after ECU(used) replacement in hyundai santa Fe 2018? If no one -your recommendation? Thanks
I've bought the Autel...tried to adjust the milage on my import car for which i got a new instrument cluster (wasnt able to do it! is it not possible with that model?
Try connecting another scanner you might have to make sure it's not the car. Iv bought the mk808 and the updates on it now are mind bending. I'm struggling with it simply because I do not know how to use it correctly which is natural.
It always makes me laugh when DIY people worry. Is it tool has Lamborghini Maserati Ferrari …😅😅😅 I want to know why 🙈🤯🤣 , you never going to have one anyway why you worry about them😢
From my experience, the only ones who ask are the ones who already own those cars. Actually viewed a few reviews from guys who bought one VS the other based on support of their lambo. They're not DIY folks--I think they just wanna scan and piss off their mechanics with the info.
iVE JUST BOUGHT THE LATER, SUPPOSEDLY BETTER ,XTOOL D7S. NONE OF THE "SPECIAL FUNCTIONS" WORK ON MY 2007 BMW X3 3.0 DIESEL. THEREFORE WASTE OF TIME. THE SELLER HAS ADMITTED THEY DONT WORK ON BMW DIESELS, RIGHTLY OR WRONGLY.
I chased that problem around on a pontiac montana for months with fuel composition resets at dealer - in the end, a change of the Mass Air flow sensor (to AC Delco OEM) fixed the problem.... you need to compare what your sensor is reading and what is normal for your vehicle.
I appreciate the review because i look at many reviews to get a better picture of the product. Every review brings its own piece of information to the table. Thank you for the review!!!
Won't matter what tool you buy, one tool will work with something the other tool does not regardless if it's a high end official product used world wide. You would need to buy all tools just to cover yourself from the possibility that one tool can not cover everything no matter how much you spend. The ability for the mk808 or any Autel is it's future updates with pretty much the same hardware when it came out. It's now 2022 and they have only again increased it's capabilities. Autel will most likely be around longer than the rest as it's flag ship status is a brand pushed by the nation it comes from, a bit like snap on is for the USA.

Do these do mileage/odometer adjustment? Which do you recommend for Toyota, Honda, GM, Ford?
I know the mk808 doesn't
Only D8 supports GM 2020+
The D8 didn’t communicate with my 2005 Nissan quest so I’m returning it now
It always makes me laugh when DIY people worry. Is it tool has Lamborghini Maserati Ferrari …😅😅😅
I want to know why 🙈🤯🤣 , you never going to have one anyway why you worry about them😢
From my experience, the only ones who ask are the ones who already own those cars. Actually viewed a few reviews from guys who bought one VS the other based on support of their lambo. They're not DIY folks--I think they just wanna scan and piss off their mechanics with the info.
iVE JUST BOUGHT THE LATER, SUPPOSEDLY BETTER ,XTOOL D7S. NONE OF THE "SPECIAL FUNCTIONS" WORK ON MY 2007 BMW X3 3.0 DIESEL. THEREFORE WASTE OF TIME. THE SELLER HAS ADMITTED THEY DONT WORK ON BMW DIESELS, RIGHTLY OR WRONGLY.
Xtool now has D8 and D8 with Bluetooth
The only difference between the two is bluetooth?
I am about to buy a scan tool. I would love to see a video on D7 and D8. Is it worth paying a little more for the D8?
@adictiveadictive Good luck getting an answer to that question.
Do either of these scan tools work with OBD1?
Nooooo
How many freaking commercials you need in two damn minutes?
Commercials within a commercial :D Now that's Inception level marketing.
Lots of negative comments 😏
What scan tool can reset fuel composition on a gmc sierra for under $500.
I chased that problem around on a pontiac montana for months with fuel composition resets at dealer - in the end, a change of the Mass Air flow sensor (to AC Delco OEM) fixed the problem.... you need to compare what your sensor is reading and what is normal for your vehicle.
@@pingpong9656 I cleaned my mass Air flow sensor and the problem was resolved.
useless review. comparing the look? show functionality comparison.
I appreciate the review because i look at many reviews to get a better picture of the product. Every review brings its own piece of information to the table. Thank you for the review!!!
Advice me scanner Fcar-F7s-G im interested buy please advice me
thank you for the discount code
Wow Porsche cars have many issues even brand new! WTF happened to Porsche quality?
A person with these tools can reset the odometer? That is crazy
Not really if you’ve ever replaced a dash then you’ll need to have the miles corrected/if the vehicle is going from miles to kilometers.
Coding?
xtool D8 Bt un clone de la
autel MK808 BT
no，D8 is more powerful than autel MK808 BT and more expensive
@@audreycai9451 the best --> ANCEL X7 HD is it good more powerful or not ? regards
Won't matter what tool you buy, one tool will work with something the other tool does not regardless if it's a high end official product used world wide. You would need to buy all tools just to cover yourself from the possibility that one tool can not cover everything no matter how much you spend.
The ability for the mk808 or any Autel is it's future updates with pretty much the same hardware when it came out. It's now 2022 and they have only again increased it's capabilities.
Autel will most likely be around longer than the rest as it's flag ship status is a brand pushed by the nation it comes from, a bit like snap on is for the USA.
Very unfair video on behalf of Autel
😢
Autel sucks there after sales services are crap, they do give a F-k aftermarket they have your money 👎👎👎
nothing more than an unboxing. Useless video.
Yeah autell is bloody rip-off merchants my 906bt soon as the updates run out about 2 months later it stopped working all together 1200 pounds gone
