IP819 V2.0 Bidirectional OBD2 Scanner, 2026 Upgraded from D7 with Active Tests, ECU C0ding, PMI, 39+ Resets, FCA AutoAuth, All Systems Diagnostics, CAN FD/DoIP, 3-Year Free Updates

I'm very happy XTOOL IP819 V2.0 Bidirectional Scan Tool, I've only had it a few days and have already fixed two trucks, found some hidden body control codes on a Fiat, Nissan Quest rear sliding door faults, found a lot of stored codes Ford didn't bother erasing even after they repaired those parts and was able to clear them all. You can save the report before erasing, just in case you need to go back and look at it. What is also nice is that if there are active codes, this tool immediately reports those once the erase has been completed. This scan tool is a quality item that goes in depth as a dealer quality scan tool would. The Live Data, Bi-directional functions and speed are excellent. The actuator tests save so much time and allow for fast troubleshooting. I love all the reset options as well, there are around 39 I think. Reports are professional and can be sent to customers directly via email with all your shop information on the page. It has Wifi connectivity, and I can also connect to internet using my mobile Hotspot when I'm doing mobile mechanic work. Online connectivity is not required to operate this scanner once downloads and updates have been done but it is better to be connected in order to have full use of this powerful scan tool. I like the hard carrying case and the rubber edges on the tablet that help get a good grip, they feel durable and sturdy. The VIN look up and speed of reports are a key selling point for me since I'm usually at peoples home doing mobile mechanic work and need to be fast. It is easy to use and get to where your trouble codes are at. Their customer service is also impressive as well, they respond very fast and are always willing to help as this is my second Xtool Scan Tool. Battery is also good and lasts a long time. This Xtool IP819 V2.0 scanner has already paid for itself in less than two days.

After reviewing I'm absolutely blown away by the XTOOL IP819 scanner! As someone who owns a mix of vehicles (Toyota, Ford, and Jeep), I needed a diagnostic tool that could do more than just read codes. I specifically wanted support for TPMS functions, key and remote programming capabilities, as I've bought used cars and needed extra keys for family. The IP819 handled all three makes flawlessly! Programming keys and remotes was a breeze, saving me a ton of money compared to dealership prices. This paid for the scanner alone. Beyond the key programming, I was also looking for a scanner that could connect to an endoscope, and the IP819 with it's USB-C port delivered! I bought the XTOOL endoscope separately, and it integrates perfectly. This has been invaluable for inspecting hard-to-reach areas well outside the automotive arena. During a recent TPMS DTC issue with my Ford, I had to reach out to XTOOL support. I was incredibly impressed with their responsiveness and helpfulness. Gigi from their support team was fantastic! She consistently replied within 24 business hours, providing clear and concise guidance. The level of customer service alone makes this scanner worth every penny. But the real surprise has been the continuous software updates! XTOOL is constantly adding new features and expanding vehicle coverage. It's clear they are committed to improving their product and providing long-term value. Other companies charge yearly for this support. If you're looking for a professional-grade scanner that can handle diagnostics, key programming, and more, the XTOOL IP819 is the perfect choice. It's a five-star product with exceptional support and ongoing improvements. Highly recommended!

This is an extremely capable and fast scan tool. The speed will depend on your car, as older cars have slower protocols. The choices are somewhat of a maze and you have to know what you're looking for. There's 4 distinct modes of use. (1) Standard ODB2 use that most cheap tools can do. Then there are (2) extended advanced functions that are specific to the make and model of vehicle. Look up the features supported on their website to see what applies to your cars. (3) Bi-directional features where you tell the car to do something (actuate a component) for isolated tested and troubleshooting. This is where you typically have to start paying significant money since this is considered a pro feature. Again, look at the website for specific car feature support. (4) Key copying. (Check website for compatibillity.) I was able to program a used key fob from a famous auction website for my ES350 2016 using this tool. Works great. It takes work to get the most of this tool. The thing is the official manufacturer's tools aren't any friendlier. Some models are trying to address this difficulty of navigation to lay everything out, but they are 2x the price or more and don't have more features. Sometimes less features. So if you don't mind learning the maze, then this is a fantastic device. (You can screen record video on the device and then save via USB to leave how-to notes to yourself.)
