The media could not be loaded. I previously had a Carly ODB reader but a recent update by Carly rendered that useless on our car (a Mercedes ML250).I was always really disappointed with the Carly on the Mercedes - it wouldn’t code any features and the codes were unhelpful to say the least, but it was better than nothing.However, following the update (Carly at least refunded me the money) I bought this as I had faulty parking sensors at the rear of the car and I am blown away by how good it is.Build quality is spot on - it’s rugged and it scans SO much quicker than the Carly. And the features it provides blew me away - not only do I get in-depth codes and helpful repair details but I discovered I could dive in and code features - after 7 years, I now finally have rear parking sensors that beep as soon as they start picking up an obstacle (Mercedes default for some crazy reason is to only beep when things are really close!!). It also perfectly diagnosed the rear sensor fault - telling me one sensor was faulty and the one I’d replaced, I’d replaced with the wrong version!Additionally, it allows you to see live frame data as the car is running and also allows you to activate individual body components - like lowering or raising the rear air suspension on our BMW E70 X5 when I needed to replace a rear suspension air bag, or putting wipers into the park position to help with changing the wiper arms - it’s absolutely fantastic.I really can’t tell you how impressed I am!Update - have owned this for some months now and it continues to impress. The ability to access true service menus on the Merc - way ahead of the Carly - is fantastic, and the reports it generates via WR code or direct to email is just brilliant.It does seem to need to be connected to WiFi to work properly; even if you’ve no WiFi where you’re working, I find I can easily tether it to my phone’s personal WiFi hotspot and it works a treat.Brilliant bit of kit and worth every penny.

Topdon have designed a really compact scan tool. The tool is great in the hand and not too heavy and it comes in a handy case with a charge lead, one connection lead (DLC) and the tool itself. The screen is clear and all the functions on the display are easily readable. The tool can be charged via the mains or by the vehicle it is plugged in to. I linked it to the WIFI and did a software update and it was good to go. I haven’t tried it on too many vehicles as yet but what vehicles I have used it on for error codes and a maintenance reset etc it has passed the test and it’s quick to react. The downside on my thoughts are, it has a short cable, a longer cable would allow the user to operate the tool while out of the vehicle, maybe an idea for the future or Bluetooth. A great value for money, I have recommended the item to my fellow car enthusiasts.

Topdon have done it again with this one. Small, sleek and light yet it feels good in the hand. Very capable little tool. Comes with a charger lead and a DLC cable, the unit charges when plugged into a car which is great, especially when you need to go on a test drive and can't leave it plugged into the wall. Quick and easy to use, perfect for code reading, service resets, DPF regens etc. I've not used it on too many models so I can't say how good it is for everything but IF I had to complain about anything it is that it doesn't do PSA vehicles which isn't a problem for me. Lads at work keep using it so it must be decent. Good value for the money. Well done Topdon.

Bought this scanner as I no longer have a working vcds on my laptop. This is about as close as anything I’ve used to do the same functions. Gives you the ability to scan cars for codes. I’ve tested on both vehicles in my household being a vw and Audi and works flawless. Managed to run scans, attempt to diagnose a faulty injector I believe I have and done an adaptation successfully for the number of flashes on my indicators with the comfort mode.The device and contents are well suited for a beginner/novice like myself without a ridiculous price tag. I would recommend this to others looking for a good diy bit of equipment.It includes. Charging cable along with it but in the time I’ve used it I notice it charges itself via the obd2 port so the charging cable may never be needed. Nice to have either way.I will be keeping an eye out for other topdon products in the future to add to my collection.

The media could not be loaded. I have tried and tested this product since my purchase several times and have to say it is by far exceeding expectations.The carry case to start is well insulated to protect the diag tool and light.The diag tool itself is so user friendly and has a great feature to share fault codes and send to an email.The other section with special features I.e hidden features on your car is particularly interesting as there's a few things you can do extra with this tool I did not know.Battery life is great. Instant vin recognition on plug in. Aswell as the detail to which is goes into with fault identification. I'm really happy with it. Yes it has a cable link to the tool but if you wanted a wireless one you'd have to pay more but for me this is a great tool! 100% recommend.I have included a video showing usage on an Audi A4 B8 2.0 tdi 140 just for reference. The video is long... apologies haha.

This I was nt impressed with think it's mainly for newer cars mine are older cars one is 04 plate other is a 13 plate ford focus which can't download anything for it
