    Thank you for your great review! What wired odb2 bi- directional scanners below $100 that are better than the Topdon, do you recommend?

    • @RANDOMFIX
      @RANDOMFIX  Місяць тому

      Under $100?
      Imas far as I can think of it, none.
      I am testing a scan tool right now that has lifetime update but I have tried to see if it’s bidirectional so stay tuned.
      Bi directional scan tools start at $250+

    • @RANDOMFIX
      @RANDOMFIX  Місяць тому

      I didn’t use an application based scan tool to program a key but here is a video of me using a scan tool to complete this task ua-cam.com/video/D5TMb4PupOk/v-deo.htmlsi=sFS8WaGmVmp1Kj1o
      It takes about five minutes.
      Just as an example I can get a replacement key for my Toyota for $22 now and for my dodge at $6
      That doesn’t include making the blade which I normally don’t cut as it’s for emergency use.

    I have a 2017 Buick Envision , will this device allow me to put my vehicle in the service mode to retract rear disc brakes , and do a rear pad replacement? Thanks for your time!

    • @RANDOMFIX
      @RANDOMFIX  2 місяці тому

      Yes this will allow you out into in service mode.
      However, check the comments lots of people complain about the year fees.
      I would suggest buying a real scan tool which comes with three years of updates and afterwards you can still use the scan tool even if you don’t renew but you won’t get any additional updates. Here is a good example ua-cam.com/video/QKNp2bFYcVI/v-deo.htmlsi=Z66PMYzRsnem5ym-
      Good luck and keep me posted about your success either way.

    Does the payment apply for everything (every single vehicle, model and all functions) or is it a separate payment for each one?

    • @RANDOMFIX
      @RANDOMFIX  6 місяців тому +1

      One payment for all vehicles. But if you buy a real scan tool like ua-cam.com/video/QKNp2bFYcVI/v-deo.htmlsi=wvcqnIvS-5LXQcDo then it includes 3 years of updates and when the updates expire you can still use the tool without paying more each year. I personally think that a real scan tool is much much better.

    I just bought the topscan and the IM readiness function goes to a page that says no results found and the app freezes. As far as diagnostics everything worked great on a 12 Chevy volt but when trying it on a 06 Lexus gs300 I’m able to do the auto scan and see it has codes stored but when I go into the modules to actually see the codes there is no read dtcs button only “special function” won’t even read codes from the engine computer. Some modules just say no results found. I did try scanning the Lexus on an android phone and everything worked except the IM readiness goes to a white blank screen. So I wouldn’t recommend this if you use an iPhone.

      @@RANDOMFIX they came out with a new update a week later on the iOS app that fixed most of the issues but then I tried it on a 09 Altima and it not only could it not communicate but it made the dash go crazy and and every warning light was on. Had to use a real scanner to clear the codes that the topdon caused. My autel ms906 had no problem connecting to it. I think it’s an awesome tool for a great price but they need to work out some bugs. At least after the update it works on more cars than not.
