AD800BT 2 OBD2 Scanner, Bidirectional Scan Tool, 28+ Reset Services | Lifetime Free Update, All System Automotive Diagnostic Tool, Active Tests, FCA AutoAuth, CAN-FD, Function as AD900 Lite

This is my initial review for this TOPDON ArtiDiag800BT OBD2 Scanner and I'll continue updating it as I use it. I love the design and the pull up scanner attached to the handle of the scanner, it's very easy to store, so you feel safe that you won't lose it, also love the little protective case that it comes with, great accessories. In my opinion this wireless OBD2 scanner works great and very accurate, Already been using it alot. Just yesterday I had an error code. After researching it was either the thermostat sensor or the pump. Tried both and I figured it was the thermostat since I can see the live data, on my topdon OBD2 screen, I could watch the temp before and after replacing the unit sensor. Great OBD scanner, with very big and easy to read screen, the software is built over android so it's easy to update and navigate and if there is any firmware needed I won't need to go through the headache like my old obd's, that you have to do to install new updates through usb stick and all that headache, it might feel a bit pricey but then when you use it and go through the setup process and their easy, straight forward menu system, you'll understand why. It got every car you can think of in the market right now. Overall, very good quality OBD Scanner with so many features for a great price and I recommend it. P.S. I hope you like my little video showcase, Don't forget to smash the helpful button, If you liked my video review.

This is a great, compact scanner capable of scanning almost everything (still not secured gateways, but all scanners need a pass to do that). While it doesn't do bidirectional controls, the hot functions are pretty handy for quick jobs like opening rear calipers or a battery registration. While it's a little slow communicating with earlier cars (I did see someone complain it wouldn't vin scan a 2002 Dodge, yeah no, too old), newer cars around 2006 and up "should" have the vin scan work. I mostly use it with Global OBD data and the graphing function. Oh and the data list and graphing screen are just like Topdon's top tier scanners with pinch to zoom graphs. For a pretty serious DIY who doesn't need bidirectional control, this is a great scanner at a really good price. I have a couple other Topdon products and am pleased with the quality and receptiveness to updates and bug fixes (all manufactures have them). A couple things to point out though that I noticed. One is the dongle that plugs into the data link connector is a little tight, so it might take a little bit to get it to wiggle in. But it will beep once connected. Two is memory card space. Only download the updates for the vehicles you will be looking at. Since it's a global use tool, there a LOTS of vehicles that aren't sold here on that list. Particularly if you work on European cars, their software is the largest, so only get those. IT WILL NOT hold ALL of the current updates and the internal memory will fill up. I did notice there were some sd card expansion slots in the back under a cover, but I haven't had time to look into them yet. If they are for expandable memory, it would easily handle every update for every vehicle. I might update this later after I use it longer and have it in my hand to remind me about features I like...

So far, so good. Easy to use menu system. Many features found in higher end systems. Decent speed of Datastream. I've only used it a couple of times so far so I'll update with any issues.

I’m giving the TOPDON AD800BT 4 stars because overall it’s a capable and feature-packed OBD2 scanner, but there are definitely a few frustrations that keep it from being perfect. The tool itself has a lot of useful functions, good vehicle coverage, and provides detailed diagnostic information that’s helpful for both DIY work and more advanced troubleshooting. The biggest downside has been the constant updates. It feels like almost every time I power it on, there’s another update required before using certain features. While updates are important, the process can get annoying when you just want to quickly scan a vehicle and get to work. Another issue is the speed. The scanner can be noticeably slow when reading modules or loading certain functions, especially compared to some other diagnostic tools I’ve used. It eventually gets the job done, but patience is sometimes required during scans and menu navigation. That said, once everything is updated and connected, it performs well and offers a lot of capability for the price. The wireless Bluetooth functionality is convenient, the interface is fairly user-friendly, and the diagnostic depth is impressive. Despite the slow performance and frequent updates, it’s still a solid scanner overall and worth considering if you want professional-level features without spending a fortune.

I’ve been using this scanner regularly since I got it and it has been an amazing tool. As a woman who has always wanted to learn how to diagnose and fix my own vehicle instead of relying on others, this scanner has given me confidence and knowledge. The interface is easy to understand, the information is clear, and it actually teaches you what’s happening with your car. It’s empowering to be able to DIY and troubleshoot issues myself. This is a great investment for anyone—especially women—who want to learn, grow, and take control of their own vehicle maintenance.

After watching multiple YouTube videos of mechanics and the like promoting the TOPDON ArtiDiag800BT diagnostic scanner, I thought it might be a great holiday gift to give myself. My first problem started once I got it, registered it, put in the activation code, and started downloading the programs I wanted to use. (As a caveat, you must have internet connectivity for this tool to work, period. Even after you've downloaded the different software on it, you will still need to be tethered to wi-fi. At least, that has been my experience.) It will not work in the field, for example, if you don't have wi-fi access. It simply freezes and is stuck on "loading," but loads nothing. When it is connected to wi-fi, it does work sometimes depending on what screen you are on. If you are running the OBD2 general program, then you can get away with a successful scanning of the codes, most of the times. If you are trying to do a full health scan, then you may get a frozen screen about half the time. Let's talk about some of the features it boasts and learn whether they work. I purchased this tool with the intention of using it after completing some work on my BMW X3. Specifically, I was changing the eccentric shaft sensor (if you own a BMW with this sensor, you know its a commonly known failing sensor) that takes removing the valve cover to get to. After removal, the dreaded "valvetronic, eccentric shaft sensor 2A31, 2A32, and 2A47 codes needs clearing with a capable scanner. This tool takes you into that very module and attempts to clear the code. It will even tell you that the code is cleared, but it actually does not clear the code. They all come back. (Of course, if you are doing this job, do not ever use an aftermarket sensor, or the so-called OEM brand on eBay or Amazon, get an original one from the dealership. You'll thank me later.) The tool also does not reset the oil light in the BMW. In fact, the tool tells you that you need to do this manually "on car," which I already knew how to do. It does not clear the transfer case "wear oil" code, even if you go into that exact module to do so. It also did not reset my steering angle sensor to zero after I've changed it. Some positives are that it will read all your car's codes and that it is quite thorough when it complete the health check scan (when it decides to work fully). For the price tag and my experience of having it only read the codes that my other Launch diagnostic scan tool does, but only cost 1/4 of the price, I would say to stay away from this tool until the company finds a way to load all the programs onto the hardware so you can use it wherever you go, and check on their reset functions. Maybe it works great on everything else, except BMWs.

Such an amazing tool! I have owned many scanners but this one is my favorite. There is so much that this thing can do!

街のバイク屋さんをしています。 バイクの車検で当店をご利用頂くお客さんから車の車検もちょいちょい受けることがあり、今まで使っていた診断機が古くなったのでプライムデーで買いました。 故障コードの読み取りとかリセットも出来ました。 買ったばかりなので国産車数種類とBMWのミニに使いました。 うちの代車で使っている日産ノート（E11）は繋いだだけでは車体番号の読み取りは出来ず、手動の車体番号を入力しても認識できませんでしたが、何度かトライしているうちにE11を認識したようです。 BMWのミニはエンジンチェックランプ点灯の状態でつなげたところ、自動で車体番号を認識してエラーコードの判別が出来ました。 結果的にO2センサーで、フロント側と診断していました。 一旦そのままエラー消去をしたらエンジンチェックも消えました。 現在O2センサーを取り寄せ中なので、交換出来たら再度つなげる予定です。 うちみたいにとりあえず車検に持ち込む前の検査程度であれば十分使えそうです。 メーカー専用の診断機は高いし、数千円程度の読み取り機では不十分なのでそこそこ使える診断機として使うには良いと思います。 購入前にもう一つ上のグレードの診断機も考えていたのですが、更新料がかかるとのことでやめました。 現在お店で使っているバイク用の診断機も年間のサブスクで３～４万かかっているので、バイクほど使う機会は少ないため更新料がないこちらの機種にしました。 故障コードとかはメール送信できるので、メモする必要もないのもよかったです。 日本語表記で感覚的に使えるので気になる方は買っても損はなさそうです。

最初のインストールに少し時間が掛かるけど、終われば日本語で操作しやすく便利が良い☆当方は此に延長ケーブルで手元で操作してますが大変良い。リセットも簡単、終診断で故障箇所も分りやすい。取り敢えず気に入ってます。

車種が幅広く、プロでも使える。 またアップデートが無料て、コストパがいい!

メーカーが揃っているのが良かった❗

全システム診断、且つ、生涯無料アップデート対応。ダイハツにも対応。素人のDIY用途としては充分な機能かなと思う。
