Good value for the money

Recently I got a warning light on the dash on my BMW 118i so decided to go ahead and do bought this topdon ad800bt.It looks decent and seems better than some of other ones I’ve seen. The well-made carrying case is a charmer, adds value and protection. Inside of it,there comes with an instruction and the nicely-made scanner which sits nicely in it.What’s cool is as soon as the tablet comes on, The Bluetooth dongle will pair very quickly to the tablet, all by itself, And I a loud buzzer on the tablet word just buzz and then you can see the blue light just came on the dongle that means it’s paired.Well it’s a kind of a small screen but present quality results being quick and straightforward to read. Also it took a while to do autoscan on my BMW, It did end up telling how many modules we are present and any faults or problems within each of those modules.Actually it was not just going to scan a few of P type codes like some cheap scanners did, but get the dealer specific codes - with BMW it is a must! I finally got the right code to find the correct fault instead of running around like a headless chicken.Another feature I like is its full live view of all the data that can be monitored in vehicle’s ECU modules. This is actually one of the reasons why I bought the scanner as opposed to the old handheld autel scanner I had before. The old one didn’t show all the live data I wanted to check. Well, this topdon ad800bt shows that. And the data can also be merged to be much easier to notify a problem as soon as they develop all together.The tool got all the other things that is beneficial for the car: the oil reset, the electronic parking brake, tire pressure monitoring, battery system registration, brake bleed,etc., a lot more than some other tools of the same price range, and super intuitive to operate, update and set up.I know it seems expensive for us more tablet like this, but where you are going to be paying 50 bucks and 50 bucks and another 50 bucks again for all those cheap scan tools, it all adds up where you could have bought something decent like this. You will be able to scan every single manufacturer car and have the right specific codes all the time, which means, it’s going to help save a lot of money in the long run.

GOOD

After watching multiple YouTube videos of mechanics and the like promoting the TOPDON ArtiDiag800BT diagnostic scanner, I thought it might be a great holiday gift to give myself. My first problem started once I got it, registered it, put in the activation code, and started downloading the programs I wanted to use. (As a caveat, you must have internet connectivity for this tool to work, period. Even after you've downloaded the different software on it, you will still need to be tethered to wi-fi. At least, that has been my experience.) It will not work in the field, for example, if you don't have wi-fi access. It simply freezes and is stuck on "loading," but loads nothing. When it is connected to wi-fi, it does work sometimes depending on what screen you are on. If you are running the OBD2 general program, then you can get away with a successful scanning of the codes, most of the times. If you are trying to do a full health scan, then you may get a frozen screen about half the time.Let's talk about some of the features it boasts and learn whether they work. I purchased this tool with the intention of using it after completing some work on my BMW X3. Specifically, I was changing the eccentric shaft sensor (if you own a BMW with this sensor, you know its a commonly known failing sensor) that takes removing the valve cover to get to. After removal, the dreaded "valvetronic, eccentric shaft sensor 2A31, 2A32, and 2A47 codes needs clearing with a capable scanner. This tool takes you into that very module and attempts to clear the code. It will even tell you that the code is cleared, but it actually does not clear the code. They all come back. (Of course, if you are doing this job, do not ever use an aftermarket sensor, or the so-called OEM brand on eBay or Amazon, get an original one from the dealership. You'll thank me later.) The tool also does not reset the oil light in the BMW. In fact, the tool tells you that you need to do this manually "on car," which I already knew how to do. It does not clear the transfer case "wear oil" code, even if you go into that exact module to do so. It also did not reset my steering angle sensor to zero after I've changed it.Some positives are that it will read all your car's codes and that it is quite thorough when it complete the health check scan (when it decides to work fully). For the price tag and my experience of having it only read the codes that my other Launch diagnostic scan tool does, but only cost 1/4 of the price, I would say to stay away from this tool until the company finds a way to load all the programs onto the hardware so you can use it wherever you go, and check on their reset functions. Maybe it works great on everything else, except BMWs.
