Yeah, since these are essentially launch scanners, the battery life is phenomenal!! Ive never had a scanner last as long on a singke charge than my launch pro dyno. Its amazing!!
I would put this in the category of any non primary key scanner especially because they don't have the programmers to go along with it like eprom and infer-red and like most of your high security keys those are hard to program and you need more equipment than just a diagnostic scanner with some IMMO functions that's why I own the Autel IM508 which came with an XP200 and then I bought the XP400 and the APB112 ect. all those accessories (programmers) work with the IM508 to handle most keys out there. The T8 is not a true key programmer so the functionality will be limited much like any other diagnostic geared scanner. thanks for watching
Likely they will get the Auto-Auth eventually. Recently Thinktool and Topdon were in disputes over the function as Launch wanted them to pay extra for it and it is probably the same for Icon. The update for this tool will likely be the same as Thinktool, Topdon, and Launch which are all $600 a year.
Will this do a throttle reset and vanos reset on a 07 mini cooper s it’s the n14 engine made by bmw So I read the vanos need to be reset when the timing chain is replaced The forum say foxwell NT510 but I don’t want to be limited to a certain vehicle if stuff gos bad and everything is getting way more tech then my old 400$ actron cp9670 can handle
Just received my t8. Nice appearance but my 06 ram doesn’t do anything more then basic scanner with live data very disappointing hopefully they will take it back. Can do same amount stuff as. $50 scanner with live data
Just a little note in the door of most cats there's a sticker with the vin which is black and white, just a thought. Also I know there's an immobilizer only cause in another review a guy stumbled into it, I'll admit the tool doesn't seem very intuitive.
that's a programming process that allows modules or electronic control units (ECUs) to communicate with the vehicle. Basically running config after replacing a module mostly only FCA vehicles and Ferraris. Anyway I think that's a common feature on many scan tools but on the T8 IDK check with ICON folks thanks for watching
What happens when you dont update it? Is the tool still usable or what. My cousin has a tech 2 and its 15 yrs old still using it fine no updates. Also can you get into tcu and control the transmission with this scan tool? Id like to check my tcc solenoid and clutch slippage along with shift solenoids
That’s a bucket of money for this tool. There’s others out there that are proven to do more for that same bucket of money. Unless it’s made by the same company as the others without the update values.
Thanks for the tip, I see that this tool has both a barcode scanner as well as OCR scanner (text) I was using the OCR or attempting to use it but hey it’s an old car
My neighbor purchased one of their other scanners and a month later it went dead. Harbor Freight said he had to send it back to the factory. He showed them his receipt and paid for extra insurance. He had to box it and pay for shipping!!! They finally replaced it after a month. Never again will he buy electrical items from Harbor Freight!
I don't mine the cord the VCI is not that big I mean the VCI on the Autel elites act are the size of 10" iPads stacked four high.... I like the cord for hard to reach places of the DLC that makes it easy to forget your VCI
The reason is that this tool can do the CanFD. If you look at the other tools on the market you will notice a difference between tools that can do CanFD and can't. The ones that can't are just the small dongle but the ones that can almost always have the cord with the box.
@@ChiefDLKThat is not necessarily true because models like the xtool's D7S, D8BT, and D8W have can fd and a small dongle, as well as some autel models. Like the autel MS906 Pro and Pro TS have can fd and a small dongle, so like I said, not necessarily true.
The xtool D7 and D8 lines smoke this scanner for hundreds less, but it is still a decent scanner. I think ppl really underestimate the xtool scanners. Easily the best scan tool I've used in the last decade and their customer service is top notch. If xtool came out with AutoAuth, it would easily be the best on the market. It also has key programing capabilities that $2,000 models have.

I've programmed multiple keys with this tool at the Honda dealership i work at. No problem.
How its only been available for about a week....

buy an Autel
Could you redo this video? All I could see was a reflection of you and a tree the whole time lol
no
Can it grab vin from the side of the door?
maybe
Just a little note in the door of most cats there's a sticker with the vin which is black and white, just a thought.
Also I know there's an immobilizer only cause in another review a guy stumbled into it, I'll admit the tool doesn't seem very intuitive.
thanks for the tips
Will this scanner perform the misfire monitor neutral profile correction procedure?
idk but Im sure one of the guys dose someone if you know please answer

If you don't update it some things won't work much like most scan tools yes it can see and control TCM

I can see your point of view
Can u program keys with this scanner?
maybe some you will have to check with HFT
Can this scanner do fuel injectors balance test?
I don't know
That issue that you were having is usually 17 or later Chryslers
Thanks for sharing
vin scan only works on the barcode on the door i think

That has been a solid rule of mine for awhile. Pliers - yes. power tools, electronics - nope.

Does this have abs functionality?
Seems lot of scanners won’t tread embedded abs codes??
Yes
Thanks
Welcome
How much you pay for subscription ? Is it expensive ??
HFT dose not have that information available yet so what I can say is their existing tool the ZR PRO that update is $499
Cant you by the warranty and when that update is due just warranty it out and start again with a new update?
shoulda sat in the car so we can see the screen
yup, thanks for watching
@@rvtechpro good video tho- informative
I will make a better effort to make sure folks can see the screen moving forward
The sun is shining right on the scanner I can't see 14:35
Yeah that happened
That is one big ass VCI compare to others Bluetooth VCI adapter no cords attached...
