I'm an advanced diy mechanic. I've learned alot through the years and still learning. I am blessed with a blue driver scan tool that does basic functions. You and your channel have been a blessing to me and my family. I have learned so much from you and I am thankful for the content you bring to us on a free basis. Keep up the good work AMD and have a blessed new year in 2022!!
I am an advanced DIY mechanic. I've found that a person almost has to be these days with the complexity of vehicles. If nothing else it will arm you with knowledge if the need arises to go to a shop, or better yet, help someone else in need. Thank you for always openly sharing your knowledge!
I am an advanced DIY mechanic, and as an owner of multiple Toyotas I love your channel. I have been using the cheaper scan tools but they really limit me when dealing TPMS, ABS and key programming. Thank you for your honesty and integrity, it is very refreshing in this day and age.
I am an advanced DIY mechanic. I have a 2007 Toyota Tundra SR5 DC that has had many issues and a scan tool like this would definitely help me out. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to win this scanner!
I AM AN ADVANCED DIY MECHANIC Hello AMD, thank you for everything you do. As of now I am studying at a Community College and planning on getting an Associate Degree from the T-Ten program (Toyota's Automotive Program). And I do A LOT of DIY stuff, I work on all of my family's vehicles. I especially enjoy working on my 2011 Toyota Camry. Thank you.
I am an advanced DIY mechanic. I've been looking around for one of these scan tools for TPMS, trans reset, ABS and live data for fuel trims. Your videos are AWESOME, i was a toyota fan but now im even more.
I am an advanced DIY mechanic. I plan to use the D8 for friends and family, to help them know when and if to take their vehicles to a professional mechanic and when it could be a DIY repair that thanks to all the RU-vid instructional videos, they might be able to do themselves. The ongoing uncertainties we are all living within is putting so many people in situations where every dollar must count and be used wisely. These more advanced scan tools certainly enable advanced DIY mechanics the ability to easily and quickly assess their situation so they can make an informed decision. Keep up all the good work you are doing with your channel. If you every decide to run for office, let us all know, you'd do a better job then many of the so called professional people in office. All the best and a happy and prosperous 2022 to you and your family.
I am an advanced DIY mechanic. I've been working on cars all my life and this scan tool would really be useful to me. Thank you for telling me about it!
I am an advanced DIY mechanic. AMD, thank you for all the time spent teaching us. I now work on my family's vehicles of Toyota, Ford, and Buick and have dragged my kids along to learn well.
Another great review ADM and I am an advanced DIY mechanic and love watching your honest reviews. I like this type video on how to use these tools. I hope you do more this. My Blue Driver works OK but it’s doesn’t have the advanced features needed to maintain the newer cars. Bi-Directional control is a game changer and needed to fix / diagnosis the newer cars. It’s sad that there are so many computers on these cars nowadays. One of my cars is a Pontiac vibe which is a twin to the matrix. The dome light is controlled by a door pin switch. On my 2003 suburban the done light is controlled by the door latch with has gears inside the latch to determine if it’s open or closed! So much complexity for something as simple as door open indicator. Keep doing these great videos and I try to never miss your videos as I’m learning new things/tips. Some more customer problem stories would be fun too as people need to understand the stress mechanics are under dealing with customers and sometimes the dealership owners! 8-). God Bless and I’m so glad you listened to your wise wife and started this channel!
I AM AN ADVANCED DIY MECHANIC. I appreciate all of your videos and winning this scan tool would be such a blessing. God bless you and keep up the good work.
I am an advanced diy mechanic. Looking for a good Bidirectional scan tool for a month now - got information overload after watching so many. Finally! I came across your D7 review - I was sold, you did a superb job reviewing the D7. Your automotive expertise gave you authority in presenting this tool. Keep up the good work
First ler me say thank you for putting all thr useful videos, I the moment saw your explanation for everything, and I am an advanced diy mechanic, this tool will help a lot in my mobile shop, I try to help people by not charging them crazy amount of money to make it easy for them when they need things fixed. Thank you,

I am an advanced DIY mechanic, or at least I am becoming one. Watching your videos has given me the knowledge and confidence to perform service on all of the vehicles in my family and many of my neighbors vehicles too.
I am an advanced DIY mechanic. I've been doing maintenance on my cars for many years. I have 5 cars at home, always working on something! :-) Enjoy your videos very much, very informative, thanks.
I am an advance diy mechanic. Thank you for the discount and telling it like it is. I thought I should have bought the 7 with those super discounts the first time, but now I am glad I waited to get the 8
I Am an Advanced DIY Mechanic, I watched your review and instructions whenever I can. Learned a lot from them and also do share out your advice with friend, it was Last Thursday that I was able to help a dear friend to pick himself up a Sequoia with what you have masterfully pointed out in the Video. Have seen your review on the Xtool D7 which was very informative, Thank you for doing this and god speed.
I am an advanced diy mechanic. The D8 scan tool would be a welcome addition to my toolbox. I've been working on cars my whole life. Never had a really good scanner. I've been following your channel since the beginning. When I started working on cars they were very simple. No computers, no fuel injection. Carburetors and point ignition. ( I'm in my 60's) wow have things changed. I would surely put a Tool like this to good use.🛠
I hear you. I've been working on my own cars since my first one in 1975 at 15. I picked up a 66 mustang and the very first thing my Dad had me do was replace the brakes, front wneel bearings and ball joints. Staying current with the newer stuff has been really interesting. Take care.
I am an advance DIY mechanic and your videos have been a great help to me. We are a multi-toyota family my wife, two daughters, my son and myself all have Toyotas and I maintain them all. Your videos have given me the knowledge confidence to take care of them properly - thank you!
I am an advanced DIY mechanic. Cars are only getting more complex, and having the piece of mind of knowing that I worked on my own vehicle is a great relief. Great video AMD!
I just can't even read the comments. Why does everyone feel the need to start with the exact same sentence: "I'm an advanced DIY mechanic".?! Who cares? Get to the point of your comment or question, please.
I am an advanced DIY mechanic. I use to do it full time but still do it on the side. This would be great to win if I'm lucky!!! This was one of the best coverages of scanners that I've seen. Good job, sir!
I already bought a D8 based on your review of D7. Thank you for your thorough and honest reviews. I passed ASE written tests years ago. Graduated auto school in NJ a few years later. My job is not in automotive. I just like working on vehicles as a hobby. Yourself and Scotty Kilmer are excellent resources. Thank you for sharing your experiences and information.
Scotty is great. He is the reason I have two Pontiac Vibes as he said the matrix is great and I discovered the vibe is it’s cousin. I watch Scotty every day to learn more and be entertained by his click bait titles. 8-)
I am not even a very DIY mechanic but "part shopping" repair is very expensive. So I bought the 7 a while back. It has already paid for itself. I had two "two key" programmable cars that I only had one key. Thanks for what you do! Your FJ and general Toyota shows have helped immensely! Thanks again!
Yeah.. I'm still torn on which one to buy. I already plan on making several keys, which cost $500 for the dealer to make them. So I look at it as these things paying for themselves anyway. Which makes me lean towards the D8. I've been learning about EEprom and I do like being able to adjust all those annoying buzzer's, ect. I'm thinking buy once, cry once--- Get the D8
I am an advanced DIY mechanic. Thank you for another great video! We curranty have 3 Toyota vehicles in our family as daily drivers, so your channel is a great resource.
I looked these up on Amazon and the D8 was only $30 more than the D7.. Needless to say, I have a D8 in my near future... Thanks for all of the work you do and all I've learned from watching your videos... Looking forward to more...
I am an advanced DIY mechanic and appreciate the reviews of these xtool scanners, AMD! As a 4Runner and RX350 owner, your videos help me keep my vehicles in tip-top shape! Thank you
Thanks for doing reviews like this! I've been meaning to step up my DIY as we have one aging vehicle and one newer vehicle and getting a better scan tool would definiely help. I AM AN ADVANCED DIY MECHANIC and am slowly learning as time goes on!
I would love to use the D8 on my new to me 2005 Toyota 4runner. Because of your videos gave me the knowledge and confidence to buy an older and reliable Toyota. Keep up the great work. "I am an advanced DIY mechanic"
I am an advanced DIY mechanic. The D8 looks great. I currently am using AutoEnginuity's PC based scan tool and an Autel handheld. I watch many of your videos and I learn a lot.
I've been waiting for this since you did the D7. I AM AN ADVANCED DIY MECHANIC, and have been going crazy trying to figure out what my next tool will be. My Bosch 1300 served me well, but it's time to go bi-directional. It's mind-boggling. The manufactures, the models, the levels, the upgrades... there's no end to it. I don't want to cut myself short and I don't want to pay for stuff I'll never use. I drew my line at the J-box. I'm pretty much down to the D8 and the Thinktool Pros... which will soon be replaced by the Thinktool Master2. But if I go with that, then there's the question of who to buy it from. It's a shady world out there. Thank you for all you do. You're a beacon in the dark.
I ended up with the Topdon Phoenix Plus. It's been a great tool. I paid just over a grand. This tool has taught me a lot. Mostly, how little I actually know. Now that I'm learning I see how important a scope is, so that's next. I'll probably go with Topdon again because I now trust the quality and they seem to be the most affordable. I don't make a living with these tools, so I feel like these are the top end of the DIY scale and bottom of the more advanced equipment. Kinda crazy to spend more for tools than I do for my vehicles, but I enjoy doing this stuff. Eventually I hope to make it a lucrative hobby and at least get something back. Good luck.
Hi AMD, thanks for everything you do to help I love to watch this videos.I have a blue driver for some time I like it but I AM A ADVANCED DIY MECHANICS! This scanner will be helpful not only for me but my friends thanks again and God bless you
I am an advanced DIY mechanic. My Dad and I work together fixing our own cars and try to help out friends and family when they need help. We do not have any type of scanner so this would be a very helpful tool to have. I have a check engine light on my Pontiac Vibe right now actually. Anyway, love your videos. I'm a big Toyota fan and you make the best, most informative videos about them. Keep up the good work!
My friend is an advanced DIY mechanic and he has his own mechanic shop. We already ordered one XTOOL D8 after your XTOOL D7 video. We are very delighted with what the device can do. Also, I want to mention that when the D8 is connected to a car via the OBDII connector it is charging itself. We still didn't charge the D8 with the charger that came in the box, there is no need. The updates are very frequent also... Great device overall!
I bought the D8. Your videos are packed with so much quality information. Very straight and to the point. The real world experience you have along with adding your personal opinions and perspective while performing repairs or doing product reviews makes the content that much better. Thank you!
Were there other added costs after you bought the tool? Did you have to purchase programs for your specific vehicle? Or pay for updates? Like the thinktool scanner you have to buy programs for your specific vehicle and pay for special functions like key programming separately making the total cost of the tool as much as an oem scan tool
@@Dumptrux The nice thing about this scan tool is there have been no added costs. The updates appear to be pretty frequent every week there are usually some. I haven’t tried programming any keys yet but didn’t really get it for that. Overall it’s been working well and it feels like a very quality product.
I am an advanced DIY mechanic. I just replaced the secondary air pump and check valves on my 2006 Toyota Tundra. I could use this tool to check the system function. Your videos are hands down the best on any platform. I maintain 2 Subarus and a Mazda also. Can't find any pro technician vids for those cars that come close to your quality. Do you have any suggestions for Subaru or Mazda pro tech video channels out there that are close to your level? Thanks for all that you do. You have made my DIY mechanic duties much easier!
I am an advanced DIY mechanic. I'd love to see the D8 compared against the Thinktool pro that Ivan over at Pine hollow auto diagnostics uses as well as the Autel maxisys ultra that I always see Eric over at South main auto using.
The Thinktool has debunked far as functions vs prIce. D8 wins. The Maxisys cost around $1,300 which brings more functions. But Xtool has another level scan tool in the same price range as Maxisys and does the same things, but $200-$300 less.
I am an advanced DIY mechanic. I already purchased the D8 based on your D7 review and I enjoy it very much. My brother is also an advanced DIY mechanic (lives 250m way from me), and I would love to gift this to him as a surprise. I love your educational & review videos keep up the good work!
I am an advanced DIY mechanic! After years of using my trusty OTC Genisys, the purchase of my 2016 Camry Hybrid has made it obsolete. I'd love a Techstream but that isn't going to happen, so this looks like a great alternative. And your hybrid videos have been exceptional!!!
My A30M with AnyScan doesn't take forever. If you use it on a slow phone, or tablet, yes. It creeps on my old Samsung E 9.6 tablet. If you have a fast phone (Samsung Galaxy S9 in my case, older but fast), it's much better and is usable with Windows My Phone and Samsung DeX, which allows you to operate it from a desktop or laptop through the phone. I've spent much more money on scanning programs for my computers over the years, but they were not bi-directional. The A20M is a good affordable option on the way to paying for a D8 a little later on. It paid for itself in less than a month working on neighbors' vehicles. Thanks for posting these videos.
I am an advanced DIY mechanic. I'd like to get one of these scan tools to resolve a myriad of issues plaguing my 2008 Volkswagen Golf GTI . I like the quality work done on your RU-vid channel.
I am looking at scan tools in this range. The chatter online is that xtool dropped a huge update for these tools that gave the D7 a ton of new functions that make it almost a D8 except the lack of ecu coding. I would love to see you revisit these tools and give your experience with the updates
@@jonschlegel2961 for the price I paid, I’d do it again. 367 bucks on Amazon. Does key programming and bidirectional tests and it seems fairly rugged. Im not wishing I spent the money on the d8 instead.
AMD, I am an advanced DIY mechanic and as always, I learn so much from watching your videos. Thanks for everything you do for the Toyota DIY community.
Thank you AMD for the info on the D7 and D8! And thanks to your promo code, along with a few others, I just bought my D7 for $337 bucks! Much appreciated!
I am an advanced DIY mechanic. I have been servicing my personnel, neighbors and many other folks cars for years. I enjoy helping people and enjoy the challenge of troubleshooting and fixing vehicles. This scan tool would be very helpful as currently I use a basic OBD II tool with its limited functions.
This looks like a nice tool, but right now I've found the Bluetooth ThinkDiag to be a fantastic DIY option, and it even has some bidirectional controls as well as key programming capability. It's a really good choice if your budget isn't geared toward the more full-featured tools. I was able to program a key for my ES350 with the ThinkDiag, something my Autel still can't do. Did a video of it on my own channel. Thanks for your great Toyota content!! P.s. While I would love to win that D8, I can't in honesty say I'm a mechanic; I'm an "ambitious DIYer" but saying I'm "advanced" might be an embellishment. I keep my family's cars going, have replaced a steering rack, do brakes, oil changes, and work on friends' cars when I can to save them some money, and toss out videos when I can
i’m using thinkdiag for a year now. Yes, it’s a bit slow too )manly because of bluetooth connection I think), but It can do everything for honda and toyota. I even did diagnostic for chevy diesel pickup truck, with injector problem (infamous lb7 v8 engine 🤯) Never tried XTool yet
@@oliurto Well my ThinkDiag is loads faster than my Autel AP200. I've all but retired the AP200. I've loaded the ThinkDiag software on my tablet so it's a "poor man's" scan tool, but the software won't orient in landscape orientation. Someday I'd love to have a "full" scan tool.
I am an advanced DIY mechanic. I love being able to save myself time and money solving repair issues myself. It feels even better to be able to use those skills to help others out who aren’t so inclined. I love your channel AMD. You help so many people learn and grow as DIY’ers. Thanks for all you do!
I was going to get the A30M, but after seeing how long it takes to do things, I have decided to pay a little extra and get the D7 instead. Your review helped me to decide which to get. Thanks.
I know right? As an advanced DIY mechanic, it’s easy to spot posers. From my experience I can tell that half these commenters have a long way to go before they get close to my advanced diy mechanic skills.
I am an advanced DIY mechanic. I'm planning to buy something to reprogram my TPMS sensor every time I change from summer Tire to winter Tire and vice versa. I really appreciate you putting out the contents. Placed an order for the RAV4 hybrid yesterday. You were one of the motivations for that.
I don't know this for certain, but I remember reading somewhere that the vehicles are capable of remembering two sets of tires, for exactly your scenario. Maybe you'll find this option once using the scan tool.
I am an advanced DIY (Retired ) mechanic, who also used to teach auto mechanics at a local 2 year Jr College for 11 years. Unfortunately when I retired, I no longer have access to any capable scan tools that are relevant with the latest vehicles. I definitely would love to be graced with a modern scan tool. Thank you for the information that you provide to the general public
I am an advance DIY Mechanic, currently own the D7 from watching your video review on it, but will love to have one of the D8. Thanks for the great content..
I am an advanced DIY mechanic. Great news on the D8 . funny my Blue driver gave up the ghost before Christmas. I was looking an getting a new and more advanced scan tool and was seriously looking at the D7. I do numerous family vehicles and end up as the neighborhood problem solver. People ask why I have that big Red rolling tool box in my garage. My answer" to store all my testing and specialty tool stuff. Grown man can't have enough "toys" LOL. love your videos.. owner Toyota 4 runner & Lexus GS350.
I love your channel. I have been watching it for the last six months and have found it very useful. Your videos on oil changes, transmission fluid change, how to buy original parts on less price, car buying guide, change spark plugs, break-in periods and scan tools have all enhanced my knowledge. I am not an advanced DYI mechanic but am an amateur DYI mechanic working hard to gain knowledge so that I may do all the maintenance on my family vehicles. I think D8 would be a great tool to use for buying used car besides using it for tpms id reset, key programming, live data analysis, transmission fluid temperature check and general car maintenance.
I stopped using snap-on for Autel a few years ago. I was impressed with the shops Autel and was going to get my own until I came across the X Tool D7 and was impressed with the information and reviews. I just purchased the D7 for my tool arsenal over the D8 due to the reviews. According to some of the reviews, the D8 models often had issues with the wireless, and also not really real time data. Anyways I'm looking forward to using my D7.
There is also a wired D8. How's your D7 doing? Can it read ABS codes? I used to have an innova w/ ABS I got from a second hand store($60) and it could tell me which ABS wheel was at fault. Fixed a yaris w/it code told me RR fault. And it was the abs sensor wire ripped, replaced it, and ABS light on Dash dissappeared after that fix.👍
I'm a moderately advanced DIY mechanic, thanks to you, AMD! TBH the A30/D/M would probably be fine as I'm willing to have some patience in exchange for a lower price. Mostly looking for bi-directional ability that the BlueDriver and OBDLink MX+ don't currently have, like TPMS programming, key programming, and other controls for diagnostics. Those features would be so nice to have! The D8 is overkill but hey I won't complain :) Thanks for doing these reviews, AMD, it's good to hear a professional's opinion on the many OBD2 scan tools out there.
I am an advanced DIY mechanic. Thanks for your incredible content AMD. Keep up the great work and let us know when you have your hands on the Hybrid Corolla Cross. This is what I’m really keen to see your take on. I work on cars every working day and I’m impressed to see the capabilities of the D8 in this review. I could certainly use that in my tool box. Cheers!
I am an advanced DIY mechanic. I have found the information you provide on your videos invaluable. Thank you for your excellent commentary and product reviews!
I am a advanced diy mechanic. I have been researching scan tools for some time now . Weighing the info . I was ready to order the D7 until I saw the D8 . I am definitely going to order the D8 . Your videos were very clear an knowledgeable. Thank you for that . I did not see the discount code though ?
I can see a D7 and D8 would be able to help a great deal. I started deep into car diagnoses when I got a chronic, dreaded CHECK VSC error on the dashboard. That took me into MAF, throttle body, short-term and long-term fuel trim, air-fuel ratio, fuel injection system, fuel vapor canister, fuel cap, upstream and downstream O2 sensors, catalytic converters, etc. Then that took me into all the potential tests and fixes for each of those components, from smoke test to fuel injection system clearn, paint thinner in the gas tank, etc. A simple $30 bluetooth OBDII dongle did help a great deal to pinpoint a specific error codes and idenfying potential fixes. Due to the limited BT bandwidth, the live data analysis can only be done with low fidelity and therefore, harder to pinpoint the problem.
@@zaiks0105 yes, I did! The problem was a combination of a bad fuel cap, a broken downstream O2 sensor, and a pin hole exhaust leak at a rusted exhaust flange that's adjacent to the downstream cat. The rusted exhaust flange is a well known problem for my Lexus. Each problem was discovered incrementally throughout the 18mos drama. The biggest headache was the exhaust leak; three different shops tried welding to plug the leak but each time only fixed the problem temporarily. Thanks to a Chris Fix video, my DIY $10 JB Weld fix is lasting over a year, so far. BTW, the permanent fix is to replace the cat and the exhaust pipe that are connected together. But that'd be prohibitively expensive.
So here is the deal, the A30M gives free lifetime updates, now with a DIY retired mechanic that is key. Now on a Highlander 2014 it can do a diag test and see all the modules. The Bidirectional does work for the needed items in many of the system and works fine. Doing this on an old tablet, yes you need to download the software which is big. Now on the 2006 Caravan you need to go into each of the modules individually, again activation is possible as I was able to activate certain things in the sliding door. While I would love to invest into the D8 tool that would be overkill for me and the updates you must pay for every 3 years. For the added extra that you get like the key programming, well keys are a pain in the ass anyway and let the dealer or key shop do that task. In my view as long as I can activate a purge valve , shut off tank valve fuel pump I can test at that point voltage and amperage when I activate. It also let me see the o2 sensors on the highlander, have not checked caravan just yet but did activate engine fans on both cars fuel pump on both too.
I’m an advanced DIY mechanic and could really benefit from the D8. I am currently using a blue driver for use on my Tundra and Sequoia. My 18’ Tundra has a P1604 and the blue driver won’t clear. I pride myself on figuring out everything myself and staying away from the dealer if I can (plus I need to save money) but the blue driver isn’t cutting it. By the way, I love your channel, hooked on it because it’s all about Toyota and you spoke well of my recent 18’ Sequoia purchase which made me feel a heck of a lot better about it. I also appreciate your reference to God after each video btw!
I am an advanced DIY mechanic, and I would like to participate in the D8 give away. I have been wondering about what the functional differences are in the D8 vs. the D7 scan tool. Your video has provided the clearest explanation about this that I've been able to find. I now much more clearly understand the numerous extra capabilities of the D8 and it indeed does sound very exciting. Thank you so much for providing such clear and honest information to your viewers!
Just ordered D8 with a new lock cylinder which I've been needing to replace for a few years. The truck likes to keep the key when the battery is still connected. I also change TPMS with rating with TechStream I have had my laptop down before so this would be a good time saver. Also if I get to see all my children in this life we might have 38 vehicles.
I am an advanced DIY mechanic. My sons and I enjoy doing repairs ourselves and this scan tool would be a tremendous help to us to know what to look for when something seems wrong. Thank you for the time you put into making your videos, they are so helpful.
AMD, Thank you for your honest review of these scan tools. I wished they were around at these prices years ago when I needed them for working on my BMWs. I am an advanced DIY mechanic. I would welcome utilizing a scan tool like this on my vehicles and being able to help my friends out with their problems requiring this level of functionality .
I am an Advanced DIY mechanic. I am a Toyota Technician at a Toyota Dealer in District 16. I do a lot of side work out of the shop and have been looking for a decent scan tool with bi-directional communication. Plus, on behalf of the New York area viewers, if you ever want to host a meet & greet, we would be very grateful.
I AM AN ADVANCED DIY MECHANIC and I’m grateful that you educate us on best practices, scan tool testing, and which Toyota vehicles are best for our needs. The time you put into making your videos and Q&A streams is greatly appreciated.
I really appreciate the review and your channel; I am an advanced DIY mechanic and would really enjoy using a scantool like this one! Looking forward to your next video!
I remember you mentioning that your D7 would lose charge quickly when stored. I bought one after seeing your review and the battery has been great. I let it sit for over a month and I've never seen it go below 77% and I'm sure it wasn't fully charged when I stored it. If yours is still discharging quickly it's probably a defect. Anyway I love the D7 and your videos are awesome!
Great video AMD. I'm just a regular owner and not a mechanic, but if I could figure out just some programming, could save a ton of money and pay for the device in savings. I'm especially interested in the custom programming. I know you probably have a long list of future videos, but I know many of us on the Channel would love to see a full video on custom programming with the D8.
I am an advanced DIY mechanic. I currently own 3 Toyotas and really enjoy watching your videos. Saved lots of money doing all my car's maintenance by myself. Thanks for the motivation for Toyota owners.
Based on your review of the D7, I bought the D8, before you put this out. Great video covering a lot of in-depth stuff, including the TechStream and reset capability.
I am an advanced DIY mechanic. Thank you for all that you do and these amazing videos! This tool would be amazing as to continue to help me with offering my services to assist others with their poblems. I never had the ability to purchase a higher end scan tool such as this. Thank you again for the videos and sharing your knowledge!
I am an advanced DIY mechanic. I’ve just started watching your channel, a few months ago, and I do love the content that you put out. Keep up the professionalism sir.
With Autel and Launch scantools, I've always had to hook up a charger first on a Mercedes. Needs automatic Bluetooth .. Launch X431 BT module stores in the unit! Used one for a month and was impressed. Just couldn't justify the $1200. Will try the D8 next
I'm an advanced DIY mechanic and this would make it so much easier to work on my 2009 Matrix and 2019 Tacoma. The advanced features along with the TPMS and key programming would be very helpful and save lots of money and headaches for myself and my friends. Love your channel.
I am an advance DIY mechanic. I personally work on several Toyota’s ranging from a first generation 2001Tundra, 2013 Camry XE, 2007 Camry XLE. 2005 Lexus ES 330 and 1997 Ford Mustang Cobra edition. I currently have an EVAP leak (P0442) small leak on my 2005 Lexus ES330. I would like to use the bi-directional function of the D8 to isolate the leak with purchasing and expensive smoke machine.
Eye um an advancing diy doing it yet-again mechanic. Yet alas am all the way in Oz tray lee-ah, down under mate, so a long way for posting. Thanks for your awesome reviews of a very cool tool. Cheers
I am an advanced diy mechanic. I own eight cars, 3 Toyotas, 2 Subarus, 1 Nissan, 1 Infiniti, 1 Jeep. My son and I do all our own work. This would be a wonderful gift from God to be a recipient of it. Your videos are a blessing.
