Nice run through on those tools. I had a small home machine shop and motorcycle shop and lost absolutely everything when a fire started by the utility company burned our entire town. Five years later and I'm still slowly trying to replace things. Needless to say a quality tool at a reasonable price is very important to me. Thanks for the great information. Love your channel and all the great videos, i appreciate the time you spend making them for us.
Big thanks to Ivan for giving a better statement on the events of July 13th than our White House resident did. Praying for our country especially those who suffered a tragic loss on that day 🙏🇺🇸
I am sorry to say as the world look like these days I am absolutely not surprised at all, and it's not USA alone but almost everywhere I am from Denmark and 15 years ago we were in chok if someone shoot or stabbed another human, to day it is every freaking day and often several times in one day, but I am glad good old tuff trump is okay and so sorry for the other victims of this crime. PS, love you all .
See what Kyle Gass, member of Jack Black's band, just said in Australia over Trump surviving. Jacquiline Marsaw staffer to Democrat Congressman Benny Thompson too. Evil people say evil things. I am glad Ivan addressed what happened. Sad that a father was killed in front of his family because of a total lack of security, as more information comes out. Two others seriously injured too i believe.
Thanks Viking Sadly the psychologists and now the lefty politicians think criminals are misunderstood need to be coddled and it's somebody else's fault.
I have a 2014 Duramax, the Top don top scan runs most if not all the same tests as the dealer scanners. I had "def quality" problems caused by a low performing injection pump and this tool helped find the problem and then clear the codes and mph restrictions after repairs. The only complaint would be that you have to use your phone and monitoring multiple systems means constantly scrolling the screen. It would be better if you could connect thru a laptop with a bigger screen where you can see more data at the same time. Maybe even be able to select the data you want to monitor.
Ivan, I bought that Topdon VCI dongle. It actually went cheaper after prime day. It was so worth it. Not only did I get a clean bill of health, minus the gateway being upset about the aftermarket radio. This thing tells you everything a $119 Firestone diagnostic scan could for less than half the price. Great choice showcasing it.
I'm right here in Central Pa. too. I couldn't believe what went down here, in our state. It's a shame that there is that much hate in the world. You talk with people you disagree with and meet in the middle. Nuff said... As for the equipment you showed in this video, awesome stuff. I've got a battery jump pack, like those TopDon, and I absolutely love it. It saved my butt more than once and the charge lasts for a long time. Great video Ivan.
I bought the topdon topscan last year when you mentioned it, it's been super handy and helped me figure out an EVAP issue with my father-in-law's 180k mile 3.5 EcoBoost!
Just purchased the GOOLOO GP4000. I also clipped the Amazon $20 off coupon and my total was $87.50!! You can't beat that with a stick! Thx for the heads up Ivan. I watch PF too!
Thanks to your channel, I have the Thinktool PROS. I can deal with all the annoying tabs for cars since I use it at home for personal use only. I also have the Topdon thermal camera and the Gooloo jump pack. Great tools for the money. If PHAD uses them, then they're certainly good enough for me. Thank you Ivan!!!!!!
You should pull this video immediately! Bought the Top Don and it made my 2004 4runner go nuts! Tripped codes in vsc - abs system and knocked out my zero point calibration!!!
Sounds like a you problem. Not a punish everyone because a few had a bad experience. Removing knowledge because of YOU.... Stfu put the hat on go sit on the bottom step and don't move while you can think for anyone or thing besides yourself.
I too have an ‘04 4Runner that did exactly the same thing with another scan tool. There is a pretty simple fix. Reply if you are interested in details.
I recently acquired a YopScan Pro on the recommendation from Scanner Danner. I'm blown away by the capability of that tool for being sub $100. Highly recommended for the DIYer.
Great content Ivan. In the UK Topdon wouldn't sell me the Topdiag Pro last week for some reason but I bought the Thinkdiag Thinkcar for £70.00 and very impressed so far.
If anyone is looking for a cheap bidirectional, topology & the whole kit & caboodle scan tool then the kingbolen K10 is a great bang for your buck. Been using it for a few months now, I have zero complaints except that you can’t take snapshots, only recordings… Excited to get the 4 channel Oscilloscope attachment as the functions of it aren’t as advanced as the pico scope but very user friendly. This is just my opinion of course
New scanners all nice and fine. But I need a scanner to read the Weber Magnetti Marelli IAW 06 SO and IAW 16. These ECU's were bold in on FIAT Cinquecento of the 1990's. It has a 3 pin connector under the hood. Not a OBD II multi connector under the dash. - What do I need to buy to access faults stored in this IAW 06 ECU?
Nice work Ivan. Unfortunately that TC001 thermal camera is over $300 in Cold Canada. Lithium battery packs WILL lose power, or not be able to turn on in cold weather. Keep those indoors or warm when not needed in vehicle. Use a thermal insulated food bag when taking them in car, try put them near a heater vent, keep it in a small backpack and take it indoors with you when at work etc. Yes, thats a pain in the tuckus, but its better than a dead battery at minus 50 Celsius when it gets dark at 4pm and the wait for a tow or boost is 3-10 days. Stay gold.
Because I have the ability to reason, because my beliefs are not anyone else's concern, and because I am not so petulant as to protest on such a trivial matter, I am staying Subscribed. Ivan, you Rock!
@@flicewater3773 There's a few good ones to watch. No doubt PHAD ranks right up there. I watch South Main Auto and ScannerDanner besides Ivan. Diagnose Dan, but he is in Europe for the cars that Ivan MIGHT see once in a while. I am sure there are others.
i would bet there is a config file which will let you change the hide options. most of those units use the same backend and then its configured on the front end with there company name , colors , logo etc. All the ones I have looked at are setup that way. For some of my clients I have removed the security and rooted them and placed all there loved apps on one device quick and simple. anyway love your channel. take care.
The jump starters are very impressive but I do have to wonder would they perform as well actually connected to a discharged battery? Would the discharged battery drag them down?
Cool stuff!! I purchased the LAUNCH OBD2 Scanner CRP129X a couple of years ago. Lifetime updates! I don't use it very often, but it does have live data and does all I need. Love the jump packs and that Topdon scan tool. For the money it seems great! Great video Ivan!!
1- buy a snap on truck 2- stock it with diag tools 3- set up a booth at the local fair grounds parking lot while the fair is on 4- demonstrate tools while doing free diags for your community right in front of them 5- sell tools,make lots of money,get alot of new customers. I know i did it in santa maria california on the weekend 😁💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰
The positives of living in the "good ole USA". Here in Canada, we get hosed on the cost of buying any of those items you have on display. Thanks a lot though for the recommendations.
Magnetti Marelli IAW 06 SO: New scanners all nice and fine. But I need a scanner to read the Weber Magnetti Marelli IAW 06 SO and IAW 16. These ECU's were bold in on FIAT Cinquecento of the 1990's.

So Ivan. You not going to do a series on the Saab that’s under the tree? I’ve been waiting. I got my popcorn and tea ready. Don’t leave us in suspense.
Thank you so much for the this video on the various scanners. I ended up purchasing on Amazon today the XTOOL D7S OBD2 Scanner: Bidirectional Scan Tool with 3-Year updates for only $367. I was hoping you would have added this scanner as it has been having rave reviews. I’m just a DIY’er and watch your videos all the time. Keep up the good work and I’m always looking forward to see your new videos.
Thanks for the great videos. I am looking fir the best value on a bi directional scan tool for a weekend warrior for maintenance to be used on a 2022 toyota highlander and 15 rav4. My brother has a launch crp123 that won't interface with the highlander. Hoping you can recommend a scan tool that works well with toyota. Thanks for patience in helping us along
Hi Ivan fantastic channel always waiting for your next post here in Great Britain!! Just as a matter of interest does putting the 16volts on without the battery connected stress the alternator diodes and charge module electronics etc. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge Cheers.
Thanks for the heads-up, Ivan! I bought one of the Launch X431 CRP919EBT scanners. It will be here next week. I can't wait! Thanks also for all the great diagnostic videos! Do you know of another source for help with repairs besides All-Data? They have All-Data DIY, but you have to pay for each car independently, instead of paying for a membership and getting access to multiple cars. And I don't have a business, so I cannot get the license like shops have. Is there another option? .
Great content. These are all critical tools, and we're flooded with options. So appreciate the tips on tools that get the job done. Agree that shooting was just tragic.
Remember that the battery would be connected and a dead battery MAY draw a ton of current (especially at 16V) which would impact the capacity of the jump pack.
A dead or defective battery may not allow a boost to work at all. It has happened to me twice not on my own vehicles, one was a machine at work, another in a parking lot helping a young lady. Tried to boost NOTHING, disconnected the battery to take it out of the system, then boosted directly to the cables, started both times. Something everyone should be made aware.
His platform his views. Thats all i will say to the comment section on the intro he gave. I have always liked the Launch line up as far as scan tools go, but i like my xtool alot. Only problem is no auto auth. Will definitely check them out. As far as jump packs go i have a 2000 and a 3000 from avapow and really like them as well, but i like the idea of having one that does starting and charging test as well. I mean if you are using a jump pack then usually the next mive is to start doing testing on thise systems anyways so why not have one with all of that built in and be able to save the report for the customer. Great idea.
My experince with the lithium jump starters is horrible, Ive had atleast 6 different brands and not one made it more than a year, two swelled up, and mfg said that they couldnt be left in a "hot car" then what good are they?? 🤯 My 15 year old Jump n carry 660 still works like a champ one ive only had to replace the battery once
Just ordered the Autel mk808s-ts, and the topdon topscan. I already have an MK808 that I have had for several years, before it had bi directional controls, and is my go to, but the memory is full and I cant update it anymore.
Yeah, a "patriot" supporting the party that continually allows this stuff to happen by refusing to invoke common sense gun legislation. Keep on hidin' behind that 2nd amendment and redefining it to fit your agenda
Hi, Thanks for the reviews. I'm having issues finding a scanner that will give me misfire data for a Dodge (Journey 2013). Is it common for scanners, not to have misfire data for certain company's? I currently own an older Autel DS808 which doesn't have the data PID. I also tried to buy the Xtool A30D and that also doesn't have it. Do your scanners show misfire data for Dodge's?
Would be cool if you covered battery chargers next. That TopDon one you have is nice, but I can't justify the price for it myself, since I am a DIYer, lol. I bought the Pro-Logix 20AMP one similar to what Eric O. uses. It's on sale here for less than 100 bucks .
thanks ivan.looks like i may have to spend a couple of bucks.you know what they say "a penny saved, is a penny earned".but nowdays its 20$ instead of a penny.
I have purchased several different brands of jump packs, but the Topdon with the Boost button works each and every single Time. So if anyone decides to get a new jump start pack, be sure that it has a Boost button on it.
No need to be sad...it is all gonna work out . Your channel has helped me be a better person and saved me hundreds and hundreds of dollars. Smile, all is well.
Had the scanner open in amazon for a month waiting for prime day. Now I see the Topdon. Think I'll get it for the kid, the old junk obdII reader is showing signs of death, screen is starting to have bad spots.I got a coupon with my Autel 2000 for there obdII scanner when I bought it years ago, but I never got it.
For the topdon topscan. If you don't want/need to pay for the software updates after the 1st year does it still work with the software it comes with? Or do you have to pay after the first year just to use it?
Hi Ivan - I have a 2002 LB7 and my wife has a ‘19 Traverse. I was hoping for a recommendation for something like a Solus that will cover both vehicles and have the functionality of a Solus or Tech2. No annual subscriptions etc :) Do any of these cover what I’m looking for, or do they just scan? Thanks!
Hey Ivan , I'm interested to know with the think tool complaint you have about the vehicle softwares not being able to be hidden , I use a think tool master 2 all day every day and I use the intelligent diagnose function it will read the vin and automatically enter the correct vehicle software without extra selection . It also now give options to use different software versions eg v23.4 or v23.8 incase something changed that you don't like
Ivan, I was moved by the emotion showing in your face and your voice, you're a great American making meaning contributions to our country! Nicely stated.
I think so but that gives updates too. I'm not sure if they 'brick' the device if you don't update. Honestly one could just wait til they need one and just buy a new one. And sometimes, as Ivan pointed out, they update something and screw it up.
The scantool that updated and you hate it. You should be able to downgrade the os. MANY of ways may be done. Ex edit the version installed lower version that is lower than one you like, then update via local file to ver # you want. It's Android based/clone, look for a SD card slot or remove the back cover, see if a sd card is in it. Connect it to PC looking through the hidden files. The one that has the OS version you like see if you can back it up to PC
Best Jump Starter..........Audew, I start Semi's and really large tractors, have had 2 years and never failed yet, amazing little jump starter, is it on sale at amazon, have no idea
well i ordered the launch x431. it was a 1/3 price i payed for my autel mx 906. launch was the price of autels update. ill see if its faster to load car info
Does the Launch and/or Autel work with 99-04 Grand Cherokee PCI Bus? Does it work on the WJ to program keys, fobs, and read ABS and transmission codes? I need one badly that will work for these things but am just a DIYer and want it to be a good unit that will last me! None of their websites list the WJ :(
Is the US Launch scanners any better then the offshore models? Unfortunately the Topdon Topscan is not available up here in Canada. Won't ship through US site. Bummer. The motorbike one is.
I can personally tell you that the GP4000 is an awesome tool! I was so sold on the ThinkTool ProS, but now hesitant again. (Topdon was second, but seems to keep having problems)
Hey Ivan - I am looking forward to buying the mini scanner from topdon and may have my brother carry this to India. Do these have the software for Indian car models like Maruti Suzuki, Tata, Mahindra or the indian Variants for global models like Skoda, VW and Toyota?
Question on the Autel scanners. I assume the scanner will still function after the subscription expires, you just won’t receive any more updates. Is that correct?
I was sorely disappointed when I hooked up my Thinktool, that I purchased in 2023 to a 2022 Buick yesterday, and my scanner only goes up to 2021. WTF?!? It would not read anything. Nada.
? which one lets you program the different modules after replacement also I noticed on newer cars the battery needs to be reprogramed after replacing the battery can any of them do that
Nice run through on those tools. I had a small home machine shop and motorcycle shop and lost absolutely everything when a fire started by the utility company burned our entire town. Five years later and I'm still slowly trying to replace things. Needless to say a quality tool at a reasonable price is very important to me. Thanks for the great information. Love your channel and all the great videos, i appreciate the time you spend making them for us.
Sorry for the bizarre!
Big thanks to Ivan for giving a better statement on the events of July 13th than our White House resident did. Praying for our country especially those who suffered a tragic loss on that day 🙏🇺🇸
The god king bled? The chuds are mad af lol
I am sorry to say as the world look like these days I am absolutely not surprised at all, and it's not USA alone but almost everywhere I am from Denmark and 15 years ago we were in chok if someone shoot or stabbed another human, to day it is every freaking day and often several times in one day, but I am glad good old tuff trump is okay and so sorry for the other victims of this crime.
PS, love you all .
See what Kyle Gass, member of Jack Black's band, just said in Australia over Trump surviving. Jacquiline Marsaw staffer to Democrat Congressman Benny Thompson too. Evil people say evil things. I am glad Ivan addressed what happened. Sad that a father was killed in front of his family because of a total lack of security, as more information comes out. Two others seriously injured too i believe.
Thanks Viking Sadly the psychologists and now the lefty politicians think criminals are misunderstood need to be coddled and it's somebody else's fault.
I have a 5 year old Gooloo booster that’s still running strong. Great content, Ivan. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I have a 2014 Duramax, the Top don top scan runs most if not all the same tests as the dealer scanners. I had "def quality" problems caused by a low performing injection pump and this tool helped find the problem and then clear the codes and mph restrictions after repairs. The only complaint would be that you have to use your phone and monitoring multiple systems means constantly scrolling the screen. It would be better if you could connect thru a laptop with a bigger screen where you can see more data at the same time. Maybe even be able to select the data you want to monitor.
Ivan, I bought that Topdon VCI dongle. It actually went cheaper after prime day. It was so worth it. Not only did I get a clean bill of health, minus the gateway being upset about the aftermarket radio. This thing tells you everything a $119 Firestone diagnostic scan could for less than half the price. Great choice showcasing it.
I'm right here in Central Pa. too. I couldn't believe what went down here, in our state. It's a shame that there is that much hate in the world. You talk with people you disagree with and meet in the middle. Nuff said...

And?? Is this supposed to be some sort of incredible thing??
Jake Broe did too. As many more.
I recently acquired a YopScan Pro on the recommendation from Scanner Danner. I'm blown away by the capability of that tool for being sub $100. Highly recommended for the DIYer.
Great content Ivan. In the UK Topdon wouldn't sell me the Topdiag Pro last week for some reason but I bought the Thinkdiag Thinkcar for £70.00 and very impressed so far.
Simple thoughts for a better tomorrow. I appreciate your videos. I learn a lot.
Would live to see you do a full diag with the topdon dongle and your phone.

Nice work Ivan. Unfortunately that TC001 thermal camera is over $300 in Cold Canada. Lithium battery packs WILL lose power, or not be able to turn on in cold weather. Keep those indoors or warm when not needed in vehicle. Use a thermal insulated food bag when taking them in car, try put them near a heater vent, keep it in a small backpack and take it indoors with you when at work etc. Yes, thats a pain in the tuckus, but its better than a dead battery at minus 50 Celsius when it gets dark at 4pm and the wait for a tow or boost is 3-10 days. Stay gold.

So if anyone decides to get a new jump start pack, be sure that it has a Boost button on it.
but i understand that the topscan is a subscription scanner. 50 per year. 🤔
I have a launch pad 5. I love it. Won't find more powerful tool for the money.
No need to be sad...it is all gonna work out . Your channel has helped me be a better person and saved me hundreds and hundreds of dollars. Smile, all is well.
Had the scanner open in amazon for a month waiting for prime day. Now I see the Topdon. Think I'll get it for the kid, the old junk obdII reader is showing signs of death, screen is starting to have bad spots.I got a coupon with my Autel 2000 for there obdII scanner when I bought it years ago, but I never got it.
For the topdon topscan. If you don't want/need to pay for the software updates after the 1st year does it still work with the software it comes with? Or do you have to pay after the first year just to use it?
According to my research you will not be able to use it if you don't pay.
It doesn't turn into a pumpkin. Ivan uses a scanner that doesn't have internet connection. You won't get 2026 info and updates for new features.
@@mikegalgano4567 But not the TopScan.
Project farm, torque test channel, PHD ,best TH-cam channels for mechanics or diy.
You left out South Main Auto!
@@ferrumignis yea its great, also Automotive Diagnostics & Programming.
@@ferrumignis Southmain Auto is #1
Don't forget AvE, SMA and Watch Wes Work
Ha ha. Was wondering if there’s any good Amazon Prime things I need to buy today….
Timing of video is perfect!
Thank you!
Ivan you have way too many scanners I think it's time for a pinehollow scanner giveaway(wink wink)
I've been looking at the launch x431 pro3s. If it was the only scanner you had would you be happy with it as a daily user in a professional setting?
Hi Ivan - I have a 2002 LB7 and my wife has a ‘19 Traverse. I was hoping for a recommendation for something like a Solus that will cover both vehicles and have the functionality of a Solus or Tech2. No annual subscriptions etc :) Do any of these cover what I’m looking for, or do they just scan? Thanks!
I am wanting to say the gunman was wearing one of Matt Carricker's shirts from Matt's merchandising company "Demolition Ranch."
Is the Top Don device capable of putting late model vehicles in the service mode to do rear caliper pad replacement?
Thanks!
Hey Ivan , I'm interested to know with the think tool complaint you have about the vehicle softwares not being able to be hidden , I use a think tool master 2 all day every day and I use the intelligent diagnose function it will read the vin and automatically enter the correct vehicle software without extra selection . It also now give options to use different software versions eg v23.4 or v23.8 incase something changed that you don't like
Is the Topdon TopScan you have the Lite version or the Pro version? Your Amazon line takes us to the Lite version?
Can you roll back updates?
Ivan, I was moved by the emotion showing in your face and your voice, you're a great American making meaning contributions to our country! Nicely stated.
LOL
The TopScan is interesting but don't they charge a $49 fee every year?
I think so but that gives updates too. I'm not sure if they 'brick' the device if you don't update. Honestly one could just wait til they need one and just buy a new one.
And sometimes, as Ivan pointed out, they update something and screw it up.
I appreciate that you acknowledged what happened on July 13. God bless you and America.
a few months ago got a LAUNCH X431 V Pro 5.0 Elite on sale 650.00.
Kingbolen kick the bucket
The scantool that updated and you hate it. You should be able to downgrade the os. MANY of ways may be done. Ex edit the version installed lower version that is lower than one you like, then update via local file to ver # you want. It's Android based/clone, look for a SD card slot or remove the back cover, see if a sd card is in it. Connect it to PC looking through the hidden files.
The one that has the OS version you like see if you can back it up to PC
Best Jump Starter..........Audew, I start Semi's and really large tractors, have had 2 years and never failed yet, amazing little jump starter, is it on sale at amazon, have no idea
well i ordered the launch x431. it was a 1/3 price i payed for my autel mx 906. launch was the price of autels update. ill see if its faster to load car info
Does the Launch and/or Autel work with 99-04 Grand Cherokee PCI Bus? Does it work on the WJ to program keys, fobs, and read ABS and transmission codes? I need one badly that will work for these things but am just a DIYer and want it to be a good unit that will last me! None of their websites list the WJ :(
Thanks for this video. I bought the Baby Gooloo.
Is the US Launch scanners any better then the offshore models? Unfortunately the Topdon Topscan is not available up here in Canada. Won't ship through US site. Bummer. The motorbike one is.
Like that super oil pressure gauge
Just bought the Gooloo 4000 watt. Regularly $169.99. Prime Days $99.99 and a $20 off coupon. $79.99 plus tax. Smoking deal.
I can personally tell you that the GP4000 is an awesome tool!
I was so sold on the ThinkTool ProS, but now hesitant again. (Topdon was second, but seems to keep having problems)
My launch tool has no scion. I had issues trying to scan one the other day
Hey Ivan - I am looking forward to buying the mini scanner from topdon and may have my brother carry this to India. Do these have the software for Indian car models like Maruti Suzuki, Tata, Mahindra or the indian Variants for global models like Skoda, VW and Toyota?
ordered a Top Scan! thanks
If everyone can buy a gun anywhere for 50 bucks - it is what it is.
I wondered if you made it to the rally.
Quest - Would the windshield wipers also be considered to be an accessory? Just ask’n. 🤔
P.S. thanks for for the information for these items.👍
Question on the Autel scanners. I assume the scanner will still function after the subscription expires, you just won’t receive any more updates. Is that correct?
Correct. My previous shop had one that they stopped buying updates for and it was still operational.
Except newer vehicles that require the software to be up to date.
I’ll have to check that out
I was sorely disappointed when I hooked up my Thinktool, that I purchased in 2023 to a 2022 Buick yesterday, and my scanner only goes up to 2021. WTF?!? It would not read anything. Nada.
Update Software,
Or call Reps....
? which one lets you program the different modules after replacement also I noticed on newer cars the battery needs to be reprogramed after replacing the battery can any of them do that
