Great features for the price (and no subscription!)
This review is for the D5S model: I have several automotive scanners that I've acquired over the years, ranging from $20 bluetooth dongles to >$1000 professional Autel units. Of those, 4 or 5 of them are bi-directional, and of those, this is the only one that has a huge screen at this price point and all the features you'd expect from something much pricier. The unit came charged over 85% and was essentially ready to use right out of the box. It uses USB-C to charge which works great with all the rest of my modern gadgets including cellphone, so no need to worry about additional cables there. The unit has built-in wifi and you need to register for a free account, but no payment information is required or anything like that, just an email address and password, and you're all set. Once you're connected, you'll likely notice several updates will be needed, but this is pretty common - my high-end Autel unit required almost 140 updates! This unit offers updates for the OS / firmware, and there were maybe 3 of those required, but it only took about 5-7 minutes including reboots. The rest of the updates are optional and car make specific, so if you are not going to use the device on a Lamborghini, you don't need to download that update. I tested this device out for a brake job I did on a 2018 Chevrolet Equinox, and it worked perfectly! It even has safeguards in place so that if you are not following the proper procedure it will give you an error message (see picture about device limits), so this helped me to focus on the correct procedures necessary for resetting the electronic parking brake module while working on the rear brakes for this vehicle. The device really does a great job, and for the price point, you get a diagnostic tool that punches well above its weight!

A great diagnostic tool for any toolbox
Update: I’ve been able to use this scanner a bit now and it has impressed me quite a bit. The screen is clear and bright, touch controls are responsive and navigating menus is a breeze.Outside of Amazon sending me a used and returned unit it has performed flawlessly. It pulls up codes pretty quickly, though it takes a bit to scan through the different modules, and the live data is butter smooth and updates very quickly. This scanner easily rivals my old Snap-On scanner, the Solus Pro, which cost thousands of dollars when I bought it about 10 years ago.So why buy this scanner if I have a pro grade scanner? Pretty simple: rechargeable battery, smaller and more compact size, and free updates!Honestly, I’m very satisfied with this scanner. It’s updated twice in the past week and they haven’t cost me a dime. Good luck getting that kind of service with something like my Solus Pro. Those updates still cost hundreds of dollars.Another reason I like this scanner? Customer service. An XTOOL rep saw my initial review and reached out to me about it. We have gone back and forth a bit in the past week and they are going to try to make it right even though it was a failing on Amazons part. Where are you getting this kind of service anywhere else?As a former career mechanic, I highly recommend this scanner or any of their other scanners.You should also know that this scanner will recharge off of the vehicles OBD2 port while it’s plugged in, so you don’t have to worry about the battery dying as you’re diagnosing the vehicle or having an extra charging cable running to the scanner. That’s fantastic for viewing live data as someone else drives the vehicle.Initial review: I received a previously used scanner. It was registered to Herman, though he was probably not the Munster. I also have their WiFi network information and everything else they put into this scanner. I’m not sure why they returned it after using it on 2-28-25 on an Infiniti, but they did.While I am marking this review at 3 stars, I understand that it is unlikely an issue with the seller.I did delete the previous user and then updated the scanner, it took a while since it needed a system update and 41 module updates, but it went pretty quickly.You should know that in the “update” menu there is an update all button, but it is only labeled “updates”. I had started to update them individually before I pressed it, not knowing what it would do. Did you expect me to read the instructions?I’m not sure if I should return this or just complain to Amazon or the seller, see what they know about this, but I do need a scanner and so far this is pretty quick to navigate the different menus and should perform well.So far I haven’t used it, but I will at least give it a shot before I do anything else. It does seem well made.

A MUST BUY
Hello, fellow Amazon users. Just wanted to tell you something about this scanner so you can make an informed decision. This vehicle scanner is a must buy. First, the price. You can't beat the price. This is so much cheaper than many of the name brand vehicles scanners out there. Second. It is small and compact vs. much of the competition. That is a huge plus when using it alot...and it is also a huge plus for the garage..when space is at a premium in the garage with so many other things stored in the garage. Third. It comes with live updates for many years to come. You can't beat that....when so scanners cannot be updated. Fourth. A rechargeable battery. Having a rechargeable battery makes like so much easier.....the productivity goes up and the hassles go down....as you never have to deal with buying batteries. Fifth. The performance. This scanner works excellent at what it does....which is scan vehicle codes. I had an engine light in my vehicle...and used this scanner to scan for the vehicle code and it worked flawlessly at telling me what it meant.......to verify i went to my local auto zone to have my car scanned........and this scanner was spot on.....Sixth: The interface is intuative and responsive. you press on an option on the touch screen and their is no lag. The user interface is intuitevely designed. You turn it on and everything is arranged in a tile format. The screen is bright and easy to see in the sun which makes for a very pleasant experience. For those reasons and more....I feel comfortable recommending this scanner to anyone.
