thinkcarThinkScan 689 OBD2 Scanner, Bidirectional Scan Tool with Lifetime Free Update, 34+ Reset, 3000+ Active Test, ECU Coding, PMI, All System Diagnostic Scanner for Car, CANFD & DOIP, FCA SGW

Very user friendly and leads you through each program. You do have to know certain information about your car beyond common knowledge, but the information it provides is very concise and helpful even provides fixes for any issues. It feels very sturdy and works just as well as a professional system for a more affordable price.

Very satisfied with the quality and function of the scanner. Very easy to use and an excellent value with lifetime updates. Would recommend.

TL;DR: not quite polished, but it's difficult to get all As for a product of this complexity.Fair warning: you really need to know what you're doing with this device.Toolbox with a carrying loop, contains the device, charger with US, European and British plugs, serial to OBD2 cable, and USB-A to USB-C cable. The cable is a bit short, only enough if you are sitting behind the wheel or standing next to the car. Watching live data when the car is moving is too dangerous, you will need an extender cable. Takes some time to boot, but has a "sleep" function, battery life seems to be adequate.The product manual is not available from the manufacturer, the only version found on the Internet is rotated 90° counterclockwise, awful to read on the big screen. The same manual is available on the device itself, but you have to know about its existence before buying the device, so that's a minus. Not to mention that there's a lot of fine things that are easier to do on a computer than on a small screen.Speed: the device appears SLOW but it is rather the vehicle than the device, the older it is, the slower it works.VIN Autosearch: Correctly retrieved the value automatically from a 2013 vehicle. Failed on my 2003 vehicle from the top level menu, however, once the manufacturer was selected, it was able to read the VIN and properly retrieve the information. Worst case, you can select the vehicle manually.Diagnostics: report may produce tons of information not reported by the vehicle computer (no error messages on the dashboard for many years), and manufacturer specific codes. The report is stored for later inspection and can be shared. One bug: the device correctly reads the mileage and displays it in kilometers and miles, but incorrectly assumes the unit in miles but puts the value in kilometers in the report. And another strange thing: clicking on "History" (which I would expect would take me to the history for a particular code) goes to... Google.The report provided vast amounts of data beyond what the simpler tools (baseline: OBDLink MX) provided for the same vehicle in the same condition.OBD Fault Code Library: turned out to be useless for my purpose. Torque app provided better information about the codes I needed to resolve (which this device was obtained for in the first place). However, one of the codes was explained in better detail, though the language could be better. I wouldn't pay too much attention to this, though, because a) there's Internet search, and b) codes read by this device go well beyond the simple OBDII set.Vehicle coverage: somewhat tricky to use; has a dropdown driven selection tree with the result unnecessarily paginated (it would be much easier and faster to scroll through results than to switch pages), it'll take a while to figure out how to use the results. It's better to find this information on their site (no links in the review, so google "thinkscan 689", it should be obvious).The manual is deficient here, in particular, "special functions" imply advanced level of knowledge about vehicle's operations but are not documented at all, this is a danger territory, you need to know what you're doing based on information from other sources.More to come; complex device with many corner cases, will take time to examine thoroughly.

I purchased this scanner for my 2013 Chev Silverado. I scanned my truck and needed to replace my MAF sensor. I like this scanner. If I were to take my vehicle to a mechanic, it was cheaper to buy this where I live. Add up what a shop would charge in your area. It paid for itself in 1 use. I'm a DIYer mechanic, so if you are, works great and super easy to use. Be nice to help family and friends keep some costs down if needed.

Works as expected

Good to link it with Ford , but problem to link it with Toyota. I tried to update the software, but it says it’s updated. But can’t find the Toyota and when I do it manually it won’t support it.

This has the lifetime warranty, easy to use,

Very pleased with the product
