Man I wanted to pick one of these up! I actually had it at the register today. The $499/year updates changed my mind. I just can’t justify it when there’s so many competitors for less. I drove home and studied, I ordered another brand for half the purchase price with $150/year updates and free returns if I’m not happy.
@@jkxssthats what i just bought and its an autel just in a different body its made by autel and has the same software i had a ms906 pro and it was just as good as that with more features so for 320$ its worth every penny but if you want something more professional id go with the newer autels
@@MikesMotorsports yeah I'm looking into OtoFix as well (compared TopDon and Xtool), but I can't reach OtoFix via email/web contact/phone for like two weeks. Really makes me nervous about post purchase support. I was trying to figure out the difference between the D1 Pro everyone is reviewing lately and the D1 Max (one step up, only 1 year old vs 3 years old for Pro no reviews period). Think I'll save some more money this year and see if I can get one for Black Friday.
I think this is great. I have been able to replace airbag sensors on a 2022 Chrysler Pacifica with it. This IS NOT a code reader. This is much more than your $100 code reader. This is a diagnostic tool. You can test actuators, cylinder contribution test, voltage tests and does some reprogramming. You cannot buy that for $800 elsewhere. Everyone complaining this should be cheaper shows their automotive knowledge. Personally I’m expecting the price to jump up here soon not go down. Do people really expect to get FREE updates for new vehicles? No company does that. Why would harbor freight?
I mean, I haven't done a ton of research, but from what I have found going with this same kind of Diagnostic tool from a "Name Brand" company is going to cost you a neat $4000-$6000 bucks, sometimes even _more_ if you're into super specialized stuff, and twice the amount for yearly updates as this thing is asking for. Plus you get the very frequent HF coupons and discounts, which I am not doubting this would be subject to eventually as well. It's certainly on my radar for a starting mechanic, thats for sure, though I will still let time tell if it holds up to the hype. So far people seem to like it.
I’ve advocated for Hercules and Daytona, and both make very solid tools. Some shop buddies of mine really seem to like icon, but this is something I would have to try before I would buy. $900 plus the yearly software fee after 2 years makes it seem like this may not be such a great deal. I think it needs a few honest reviews before any serious mechanic is going to buy it
Exactly!! They should send some to real mechanics like myself to use and review them. Not saying they should send anything to me but sending tools to people that doesn't actually use them is kind of dumb. Makes the tool company seem a little bit desperate and foolish.
@@RenegadesGarage exactly! I would bet it’s a great product, but no mechanic is going to buy it without reliable reviews. For $900 there are some great products
@@frey8078well that’s just ridiculous. there’s two reasons to charge so much - 1. name brand, 2. not many people willing to pay that much so for the ones that are, you gotta compensate for the lack of customers somehow.
Already got a Top Don. They should've launched this before Christmas. Then again, there are products I've seen on this channel that aren't in the store or online yet.
I had a buddy who got a top don for free if he reviewed it. Not a whole tablet, more like an obd eleven type Bluetooth dongle with an app. It’s okay but from what I remember you can only pick a few brands it’ll work on.
Cannot justify the $500/yr. subscription side. The initial buy-in isn't terrible, albeit with the 20% off promotions HF offers during the year, it would be easy to purchase. There are comparable units available without that hefty annual buy-in. Hopefully these constructive comments make their way up the chain and HF Corp. do the right thing and roll it down to a reasonable $250/yr. If you want to dominate the auto tech side, you have to think in terms of volume of subscriptions. More techs accessing the same data outweighs less techs paying high rates. Cheers!
The model below this I believe the T6 coming soon I believe said comes in around $399 with updates at $199 or $250... might be a better value. I think HF should have 2 update options for the T8 one with Identifix Code Assist for the $499/yr and with out Identfix for $249.00/yr personally as a Auto Professional I already have Identifix and have no need for it to be included and priced into an update. For now OTOFix seems like the reasonably priced option and uses official Autel Software...
Thats what i just bought after selling my autel ms906 pro i got the otofix d1 lite 329$ and autel software its not as fast as my ms906 but it has the same features plus more
Wish this came out before I'd already bought my $6000 Snap on scanner. Does almost all the same stuff (minus the scope) without the hefty price tag and $100/mo software subscription.
What's the return policy? I bought the Autel MX808 and it's so terribly slow i used it twice and put it on a shelf. I need a new one but if it's slow as crap I want to return it. I hate that i wasted so much on a paperweight.
Will it be on the AUTOAUTH list of approved scan tools ? This allows access to security gateway Fiat , Chrysler etc cars and trucks ? As of yesterday i did not see it on the list, infact only one Zurich tool is on the list for harbor freight
Harbor Freight.. Nice scanner but the price should be lower.. At $900 for the scanner plus $499 a year to update it after the free 2 years is a bit to high. There are several scanners on the market that are better for around (+/-) the same price. I would like to try one out to see how it compares to other scanners in this price range.. Can't wait for some of the other Icon tools to be released as well. Thanks for sharing.
You can get an Autel MP-808bt for half the price. Autel is top of the line Pro. Scanner. ICON (LAUNCH) Software is not as good. The high price tag in the ICON is because the free Identifix included.
I see you chose not to go with the industry-standard LCARS interface. Can it reverse the polarity of the deflector array and reconfigure the warp field to emulate a target profile? Can it adjust the resonance of the nacelles to create a feedback loop that will couple with a nearby cloaked object to cancel and reveal its position?

Over Price launch. It is a 400.00 dollar launch with BS code help for Identa Guess. Buy 400 dollar launch and go to auto zone. Ya get same info. Better yet just go to auto zone get same information and save 899.00 and a piece of crap.

Half the price is going to be just a glorified code reader. I dont care what you bought.
