      Im leaning towards the D7 but wondering what your opinion is, I have a 7th gen Honda accord. Do you think the D7 is more than enough for that car or would something like the A30m be more than enough??

    • @DIYAutoworksNG
      @DIYAutoworksNG  Рік тому +1

      A30M would suffice. Just the lack of support for key programming. Other than that, very good option.

    Great video! Im trying to decide which scanner to buy. I'd like to be able to make keys for older cars, say under 2017 as well as bidirectional features. I've narrowed it down to either the xtool IP819TP vs the launch crp919ebt. Open to other options if any around the $500 range as well. Thanks

      I remember they improved zooming in on livedata graphing. You can do a screenshot and send to support. It was after one of my complaints that they did the optimization I mentioned. For some cars, you'll only get fuel trim data under generic OBDII. It's the same on my 2017 Accord.

    Im interested in the IP819TP, but what is the main differences between the IP819TP & like the D7 or D8, besides the TPMS.. I work on my own stuff, so i would like to have the tpms features the IP has but no more than one would use it for their own vehicles i can give that up. and i would also like the ability to do keys. As i have a dodge charger i would like to get a spare for eventually..
    So what would be the best to go with, IP819TP or a D7 or D8 , as someone who works on their own stuff.
    Any recommendations and information appreciated

    • @DIYAutoworksNG
      @DIYAutoworksNG  Місяць тому

      If your car doesn't use direct TPMS, then you really don't need the "TP", that said, I'd pick the IP819TP over the D7. This is because it can be connected to the XTOOL's key programming accessories to do advanced keys. The D8 adds topology scan and a few more service functions which you may or may not need. I'd check if the IP819TP can do Dodge keys and revert. What year is your Charger?

    Autel used to recharge the internal battery through the OBD port long ago, but they changed the software to prevent that, as customers complained that the battery life became reduced (when the internal battery kept on recharging every time you plugged the scan tool into the car).

      As far as I’m aware after long long research. *Autel* - if you after expiration date, when trying to update, instead your Autel tablet erasing all previous databases in it’s memory and tells into your face that you are need to pay.
      *Xtool* - will let you use the tablet with the same functionality after free updates expiration timeframe. There is one thing though (was mentioned by different people several times during free updates period) If you didn’t use it 30 or more days - it requires to make updates first - won’t work without them. So if you out of internet guess what… Set reminders on your phone especially after free updates period!!!
