TOPDON Car Diagnostic Tool ArtiDiag Pro with Online-Coding and Bi-Directional Control, Full Systems Diagnosis Obd2 Scanner with 35+Maintenance Services, 2-Year Free Update, Blue

So I was having problems with my range rover and was told that I needed a diagnostic tool that could read the problems I was having , so having spent ages looking at loads of tools ranging from £30 to £1000 pound I was lost, so I asked my local mechanic for some help and he told me that this unit would be for the price is the best bet .He was right this thing can do stuff that any mechanic or weekend warrior like myself would possibly need,and with some garages charging for diagnostic checks this is no brainer.As for me considering I have a range rover and there is always a new fault monthly 🤪 this will save me money in no time .

Easy to use...as boy you can do amost anything with this.... From testing turbo to checkin actuator... Injectors...you name it its there... I work mostly with mercedes and bmw and this is the real deal... Cutting my time to identify issue by half and customers are super happy.... Its a beast of a tool... I used it in cars never then 2012 and so far had no issue.... To auto identification is not working on all cars but can easy choose model from the menu.... I am happy camper...and the money spend are already recovered by this beast.... Thumbs up from me .. A++++

Easy to use and follow up to date software very reasonable price for the tech you get ideal for any level of user

The product itself is really good in terms of functionality and for the price would be a 5* review. Aside from the bidirectional controls what I really like is the workshop instructions for how to perform a repair or task when there is not a digital option for performing maintenance.However after 3 uses one of the pins snapped off the port for the obd2 connection rendering the device useless.I have contacted topdon support and if they address the defective item to the same standards that they have built the software I'll update this review accordingly.

I`ve tried many times with autodetect the vin number and every time it fails. Overall very good for its capabilities. Good for someone who likes to mess around/get into more detail of diagnosing the cars. Battery lasts long.

Have the bt800 which is great but this is better. My DPF on my civic got clogged, cost £200 to get it cleaned, but the oil dilution still showed as fault still, garage could not clear it. This item has a special function to reset it, great device . My only criticism would be the blow moulded case compared to the bt800 cushioned case.

Does everything you need it to do and does it well. Coding feature is well worth upgrading for

The media could not be loaded. Got this for my dad who loves fixing things. With average independent mechanic rates at £60 per hour and franchised dealers up to 4x that it makes sense to fix as much as you can yourself. But cars are becoming more complex and you now need decent scan tools to change a battery properly or to retract the rear brakes . There are loads of options on the market but I had heard good things about Topdon. He has wanted one for a while. This scanner is at the top end of the pricing for diy eqpt but has a massive range of features that will more than cope with the most demanding DIY person. Battery replacements, brakes, dpf regeneration, module coding as well as bidirectional controls to name but a few. It also comes with 2 year software updates for free. You can buy cheaper scanners but the last thing you want is for it to not be able to do the test that you need, or read the code that you want when you are in the middle of trying to fix something.In box is a solid case, great for storage but also protective of the device itself. It also holds all of the accessories, loads of connectors for different vehicles as well as a charger, cable and instruction manual - see the video attached. The unit itself has a very ergonomic feel to it.They have obviously thought about it as it also includes a pull-out stand and this can be used stand up on the seat or to hold it around steering wheels when in use giving free use of your two hands. Attached are some screenshots from an Audi SQ5 and a Ford ST. The system does a full automatic diagnostic and you can email once completed. Very professional if you are charging for your services.As I said in the title, it is absolutely stupid to not spend enough on tools. There are cheaper scanners about but I doubt that they will have the features of this one as well as 2 years of free software updates. I think if you bought this you would not be disappointed.
