Got this for myself for Christmas last year, with the Toyota and Honda software, after alot of research. Great little unit, still figuring out all it can do, not cheap but not expensive when you look at the cost per hour in a shop. Great review!
Ya know. I have never had a BMW. All I hear is horror stories about Mercedes and BMW on expeneive parts, vehicles falling apart, labor expensive etc. I wondeer how true that is. I seen some BMW's that look beautiful that I would not mind owning but too scared to. Inever take my cars to a repair shop unless I have exhausted all options or it's simply a job too big for me. I have the Autel 808. Seems to work great so far but never tested it on BMW. I do wish you had the opportunity to test out these scanners on other brands.
There is nothing that does compare to driving certain Mercedes and BMW’s . As long as you are aware that finding a qualified experienced tech is gonna cost you and so will the parts, or youre gonna have to learn how to work on them, they are not problematic cars they are just expensive to maintain for no reason at all other than the names. I personally dont fond value in cars. They are consumables. So its hard for me personally to justify a 1800$ over a 40$ for my dodge van. If and when they fail. Especially when I have kids to take care of. But that’s my personal preference. When all my kids are grown, and I can afford to throw money away on things like cars, heck yeah id love to own so many nice ones. But once you drive one you’ll never wanna go back to a chevy or toyota.
I have a Mercedes C 300. IMO, they do cost more to maintain but they don’t break down as much. They don’t seem to be overly difficult to work on, for the things that I would do i.e. alternator power steering struts. I replaced the front driveshaft and drive shaft bearing. It wasn’t that bad. In that regard they seem to be cost-effective. Also, I love driving it. I plan to get 500,000 miles on mine.

When I go to teach the transmission it asks me to go to reverse drive park neutral I did that it won't accept the code that's when I realized that you can't code with this **** thing so if you have any suggestions on what I should do cause I have a flashing malfunction the sign in my car won't start what I should do I never had any transmission problems before this
Why would you have even entered that if there was no issue……… also thats not a coding. Its a transmission range sensor learning so it learns the correct gear selection positions
Hey Mate, thanks for the video. I'm new to BMW and recently bought the 2021 X7 m50i GCC (middle east) Spec, just want to you ask you, will this scanner work for my model?
I see the BMW says Chassis stabilization did you know what was wrong with the vehicle? I just got that light on my car. Not sure what it is. It says chassis stabilization drive moderately, but doesn’t affect the car performance at all.
Nothing was wrong with the vehicle I scanned. Often times there will be codes with no symptoms. You will have to have the car scanned to get the codes to know what to do from there. Best of luck.
Yes, true , but a lot of scanners are going this way it seems. Some may only use scanners on personal cars and only own 2-3 brands so it may be cheaper to buy ala cart. It all depends on the person’s needs
I'm a bit late to this party but.... Can this device code a replacement speedo and tacho? I'm getting an unmatched VIN code for the new parts and the DSC light is on until the issue gets fixed. Cheers mate.
I love this scanner but I had a weird thing happen where EPS light and engine light started flashing at idle and then when I went to the control module screen to get multiple fault codes and hit erase it reset the whole PCM or ECM. Scared the heck out of me.
Thanks for sharing I had recently got a foxwell for my 2001 7.3 and seems to be a good system for it if you can answer this the overhead gpm in my truck how reliable are they thanks again god bless
They are actually pretty accurate within 1-2 mpg depending on how often you reset it. Easy to test. Fill tank, reset Indicator. Drive to half talk roughly. Fill tank, then divide miles driven by fuel filled that will Give you the number.

Not sure what model foxwell youre looking at but this one in the video blows away the topdon 600. The 600 looks to be an decent scanner but not near the functions of the nt710.
@@MasterTechLou yes I was half expecting that as there is almost $100 difference between the two on ebay. I was building high performance engines in the 70's and some dealership work in the late 80's. Had very little exposure to OBD2 but still like to do my own car work where possible. I think that a good obd2 scanner should be part of every tool box, a decent set of spanners can cost $200 - $300. Not much good if you don't know where to apply them.
@@MasterTechLou fantastic Lou, my understanding is that the foxwell nt710 is probably achieves more functions but if I wasn't too concerned about functions I would rarely or never use then the Topdon Artidiag600s would be the best value for money choice. My current vehicles are Ford territory sz diesel v6 and Holden VE Commodore. I prefer to work on these cars myself where ever possible. So if I don't need a 10 ton press or a hoist I do any maintenance /repairs. In the last 20 years if you don't have a scan tool you can cause more problems ($$$) than fixes. I look forward to seeing your review!
Hi, I've been speaking to sellers of this item and thought I'd check your video out, I understand you can change the system to buy other vehicles because I need it for a honda. Any idea about gearbox learning procedures etc? Cheers
I have not personally used it on a honda but with the capability I seen with the bmw I fully believe if there’s a factory function to relearn a transmission then this I would think would do it as well.
@@MasterTechLou Diagnostic Module for Tank Leakage. It is BMW's evap monitoring solution. The DMTL pump pressurizes the tank and measures the loss. The DMTL test will force the OBDII evap monitor to complete. I got a response on Amazon saying the NT710 can do it but the NT809BT can't. Foxwell tech support says my car doesn't support the function at all. Launch and Topdon do support the function on older models but not mine; I suspect that is the case for Foxwell too but Foxwell doesn't provide a breakdown like the other two as far as I can tell.

can you reset transfer case?
Can this scanner turn on the fuel pump to bleed the pump after changing the filter?
I believe so as it can activate whatever the modules can activate
This is good. However, it is expensive to me, as you have to purchase or buy to all other models to have complete data or diagnostic on it.
Yes, true , but a lot of scanners are going this way it seems. Some may only use scanners on personal cars and only own 2-3 brands so it may be cheaper to buy ala cart. It all depends on the person’s needs
