Topdon, Thinkcar, Xtools are all basically produced by the same factory in Shenzhen in China. I have the Thinkcar 4 channel oscilloscope that I plug into my Topdon phoenix lite 2, It plugs in and it functionally works perfectly. The TOPDON AD900 Lite looks very similar to the one you've got on the interface and the way that magnetically attaches to the back of the unit is identical. Thing that really annoys me about most tools is their renewal prices for the updates. it was cheaper for me to buy a new Xtool with a three-year licence than to buy 2 year licence update for the current tool (TOPDON).
For someone who's going to use it may be twice a year. I still thought it's good for what it can do even at $576.30 plus shipping & taxes & import duty in Ireland 👀😳🙉🥺 Amazon UK said not available for delivery to my country Ireland 😢 😞 😕 Please change your delivery address and try again 😠😡🤬
Hey Jimmy do you think 689 with the cable be faster connecting with the car than the 689bt Bluetooth one will buy one free lifetime updates brilliant thanks
I got in touch with thinkcar, they said they will be adding the "search" function in the next update. I already have the launch 129 but the bigger screen real estate and the bluetooth is kinda nice so bit the bullet and got one. (I'm waiting for them to answer about sideloading apps too, would be nice. Could add torque for the laughs)
AS ALWAYS GOOD REVIEW, BUT FOR THE DIYER I OFTEN FIND ALL THE UNITS ARE LACKING IN SPECIAL FUNCTIONS FOR THE FRENCH CARS, MY RENAULT AND DS ETC, I HAVE A TOPDON AND XTOOL D7W GOOD UNITS BUT STILL NOT AS MUCH COVERAGE AS ID HOPED
Seriously rhinking about ordering this. Might go for non bt model. Im also wondering if you can tell the car its had a new dpf using this (obviously taking into consideration functions vary on different models) also hopefully the search function has been added now
No topology... thats a shame. I know is under $600 US, but no topology is a deal breaker for me. Also, if you haven't heard, here in the states, there is a large auto parts chain called... O'REILLY'S Auto Parts (different spelling, I know). Yes it's true. Their advertising is a jingle that says " Oh, oh, oh, O'REILLY'S... auto parts". 😂 Cheers from the good ol' U.S of A.
Could u help ive got a launch 431 pro ive done a forced regen on my 2021 l200 and recet the dpf light but do not now how to find the recet for the oil count,dilution could u talk me threw it with a message thanks
I have a topdon ad800bt but it does nothing to adapt dpf resets like pressure sensors or new dpf, i dont understand these companies they say 38 reset functions and they are all basic.. i ended up getting a launch crp 129 evo
iv bought a few tools like this over the years and found most of the features don't work even some basic things if this thing could do what its made to look like it could do you would be paying £300 to £500 a year for updates
@@ORileysAutos Actually, Jimmy, I forgot to tell you that, me being in IT, this launch eurotab is not made by Launch. Launch is only specialized in software, not hardware. Your tablet for sure is made by lenovo or some other brand similar to it. You are paying a big price because of programming, and also because all of the cables come with it. That's it really. Thinkcar also has the same looking eurotab 3 but they call it different and is even cheaper. So the price on these things doesn't mean a whole lot. They do this deliberately because they know mechanics are not IT people, otherwise, they would know that you would compare devices from similar brand instead of buying the best of the best just by looking at the price. To know which company made your tablet, go to settings, scroll all the way down, go to "about this phone/tablet" and somewhere there you will find the company who made it. It's actually a rip off what they companies are doing to mechanics. This is just a advise from a IT person to a mechanic 😄.
Need help new turbo new egr gasket oil pressure sensor and new exhaust pressure sensor still not working fault code comming up same as before p2263 anyone recommend anything my van is in a main dealer reanult they must be struggling yea ?
It has life time updates, which was even a shock to me. For this price and lifetime and all of those options? Bargain. Jimmy forgot to say it in the video, like with all of the other tools, which is actually a very important thing to say. Not that it is going to matter if you are going to have the same car that is already more than 5 years old, bought it second hand and you want to keep it for a long period. The problem with not having updates is when you have something like a brand new 2024 car that is not supported on the list.
It would be great if someone would do an honest review of a scanner that can do all the fucntions like regen adaptions etc and had all the live data on multiple channels graphed etc. I ve got a thinktool mini bluetooth which is fine it does the usual stuff but on alot of cars its rubbish, hardly any live data shown, cant regen cant reset oil cant adapt sensors ffs we allnknow they can do it they just omit the functions for certain cars. Im now looking for another scanner about 500 quid approx that can cover the above comprehensively. You think i can find the info out before i buy the damn thing and realise oh it doent do f all for a ford focus c max
@ORileysAutos Ain't that the truth. Come on you youtubers make a decent review of mid range scanner which highlights in depth capabilities of the the tool across a common brand model spread. 😀 most of us buying these mid range priced tools aren't diagnosing a new gm or a tata. We are using it for the mainstream used cars in Europe and Asia. Hell I should do it myself, topdon launch think autel sponsor me pls 🙏

You should start a Europe wide franchise for helping people at the house or a parkingplace. I think you get many many many new clients !!!
I always recommend Jimmy to all my diesel friends
So many places throw parts at the problem.

On my Pad7 I had same problem, opened it and soldered center charging pin and fixed, very easy.

It really is! And free updates for life!
I've a launch 919x does 90% of all I do and for the money it's by far one a the best out there
Interested if it can actually tell the vehicle its had a new dpf ,reset the values, or does it just do dpf regeneration, have you tried yet ? Thanks
I also really need to know this before buying
Hello! great video! Can you tell me which scanner can work well with Mercedes sprinter w907 om 651? thank you!!

hi there do you think the 689 would be faster to communicate with the car than the 689t because of the lead going directly into the car

i like its fast, my autel is like stone age brick and if you happen to scan some highly equiped vehicle then it takes 5-6mins to run thru it...
Was wondering - customer sent over a report off one, scan of a lorry - was puzzled at what scanner Thinkcar had that also did trucks.
Could u help ive got a launch 431 pro ive done a forced regen on my 2021 l200 and recet the dpf light but do not now how to find the recet for the oil count,dilution could u talk me threw it with a message thanks
can it perform crankshaft relearn?
As someone who only uses a scanner occasionally I dont like blue tooth scanners because of the batteries and having to charge them
Iv seen the functions menu and shows dpf regen option but not seen replacment option
What s better this thinkcar or launch euro turbo 2 ?
I have a topdon ad800bt but it does nothing to adapt dpf resets like pressure sensors or new dpf, i dont understand these companies they say 38 reset functions and they are all basic.. i ended up getting a launch crp 129 evo
can this program keys or just code / copy keys if one original key already exist ?
iv bought a few tools like this over the years and found most of the features don't work even some basic things if this thing could do what its made to look like it could do you would be paying £300 to £500 a year for updates
Did you find if it had a search bar function or not? I’ve tried looking through the online manual but haven’t found the answer … yet. 🤔
I couldn't find it 🙁
The price around 500 to 600€ for a DIYer is quite stip. But if it got lifetime software updates, then worth it.
£500 for a tool with lifetime free updates and with this much capability is such a bargain
@@ORileysAutos I'm adding to my list then. Launch and Autel would be my first options for similar prices, if they had lifetime updates.
Hello,can this scanner can read the original mileage of the car to know if its tampered or not? Thank you
The thinkdiag2 from the same company does that, since this is a new release i hope it does too.
Does it have online coding feature?
You comment that it’s based on Launch software platform, does it have the same breadth of functionality to your preferred Eurotab 3 ?
It's close but obviously the price tags indicate the level £500 compared to £5,995
