TOPDON AD500 OBD2 Scanner Car Code Reader Scan Tool, Engine ABS SRS Transmission Diagnostics Tool, Oil/Throttle/SAS/TPMS/BMS/EPB Reset Car Scanner, Free Upgrade for DIY

Purchased the ArtiDiag 500 OBD2 Scanner and it's working great. Easy step by step instructions for downloading latest software. Live data on what turned out to be the knock sensor was displayed as advertised. Screen good size for seeing lots of data. Build quality is rugged, not real stressed about dropping is as it has thickened edges all the way around. The diagnostic capabilities are much more than I need but I like having the detail if needed.

This is a very good product...it work wonderful

Best scanner out there for this price can’t beat it

Tons of functionality for the price. Easily beats out most of the top brands, and one of the best things besides the back lit full color touch screen is the lifetime free updates. Other brands you have to pay for updates or have a black and white screen. Great tool To read live data, check and clear codes . Plug and play easy to use and connects to WiFi. I’m going to try and see if it can hold my throttle at a specific rpm so I can spray in some gdi cleaner.

Great product, works fantastic and easy to use and setup. Easy to read screen and the best part is when you read a code you can click on the magnifying glass and it will take you to YouTube to see what the code is and how to fix it. The only problem I had personally was that it wouldn’t read the transmission on my 20-6 ford escape other than that works amazing.

I wanted to know what was going on with the restraint system of my x3. Crazy how specific this tool giving details like this. I am no mechanic , however going to my local dealer would charge more than this tool just for diagnosing. Couple that with tracking down the fault can cost north of 1,000 dollars. Needless to say, I cleared the code and haven’t seen the fault since. I have driven over 300 miles since and with that, I can confidently give this a recommendation. Whether you are a mechanic or just someone trying to be careful on blindly getting your car fixed somewhere; this tool helps guide on what potentially needs attention and can be a good starting point on where to look. The live data is pretty wild too and I couldn’t believe the amount of usable live data you can retrieve even in a luxury car that is 2021 and up. Since I got it, I have gotten updates for many vehicles such as mine.

I got this device because I have a fleet I maintain and work on. I've tried this device on many cars and would say it favors more of the american cars in my experience. Some of the pros and cons I've noticed and listed below. Pros - Rugged Design - The device feels like it has a nice rugged case on it and could withstand a fall which can be very useful when working around cars. - Covered ports - Nice touch. I really like that it has covered ports. This can too be very useful keeping dust, dirt and fluids out. - USB C charging port - I love being able to charge via usb c. This port is most commonly used and have them throughout my home, one of my favorite features. Cons: - Updates - Not 1 click for me. I had a few updates fail the first time around. I had to do the updates about 3 times to get all of them to successfully install. - Coverage - The coverage could be better. This device only has a few maintenance functions. Topdon should have more coverage for the functione it does offer. It was unable to oil reset the 2 vehicles I tried it on. One american and one Asia brand. - Alerts user to disconnect vci - Useful feature for devices with BT vci. For this wired device, not necessary. Overall great product, for the price it is well worth the money and I would say falls into the category right above beginner. It's just one step above the $30 basic scanners out there. If your an advanced DIY or shop, skip on this one.

Good deal for the price. The scantool is ok for what it is capable of vs the higher priced options of a fully Bi-Directional Scanner. It will do alot of basic relearn functions and has good scantool properties and can scan modules other than engine controller. The battery tester has left much to be desired, printer never self feeds, always binds, it relies on the battery power from what's being tested, it cannot hardly ever tell you if a battery is actually good or bad, it does test alternators very well though and it still provides a printout to put in front of your customer. Starting circuit test is just a timer and watches low voltage point, kinda useless in that aspect. I would definitely recommend the scantool, the battery tester is more of a freebie they throw in because it's not very good. Will be upgrading in the future. Also the scantool has updates for a year or two and has its own battery power and will connect the wifi and send reports and such. Nice tool for the price
