XTOOLD8W Wireless OBD2 Scanner: Bidirectional Car Diagnostic Tool with Topology Mapping, Online/Offline ECU Coding, 42+ Resets, All System Scan, V.A.G Guide, PMI, FCA(SGW) CAN FD/DoIP, 3-Year Update

Very well constructed , feels fantastic to hold, just an amazing tool , the things this tool can do is incredible, you would normally have to pay 3 to 4 times the price for other tools , that do what the xtool d8 bt. Can do, it truly is an amazing piece of kit , and I would advise other potential buyers , do not hesitate just buy it , you will be absolutely delighted with this machine and it’s capabilities, I spent many weeks researching many diagnostic tools , very apprehensive about buying something less well known, and a lot cheaper than many other brands, believe me I made the correct decision to purchase this tool, can’t fault it and xtool have been absolutely great with my purchase in every way possible. 5***** plus item. A genuine honest review. Thanks.

After a long years of using a wired diagnostic tool I decided to try D8BT. It is doing the job well, it is not much slower than the wired diagnostic tool. Perfect customer support, which is so important for this product! There is a better devices, but I don’t want to pay double for same functionality. So happy with the Xtool D8BT and definitely recommend it for small businesses!

This scan tool is in the - what I call - early stages but don’t let that out you off. If you are not super particular like me you will be very pleased and surprised at what this tool can do. The torch on the OBD dongle is genius. Some manufacturers put the port in some stupid places so the light is a boon. The build quality of the D8 is excellent and really feels like you have bought some more expensive. The touch screen is excellent. Could go a little brighter but on the whole great. Very capable bi-directional control, easy to use. More powerful than expected. If you are in the 8” market but can’t go above a grand you can’t go far wrong with the D8.

This was very limited on the vehicles it connected to, except for a 2006 Audi a3 which it performed well accessing all the modules and performing quite a few active tests.Unfortunately this was where the scanner went downhill, I connected it to a 2009 ford kuga using the auto vin without any problems and it read the various control modules fine. When it came to active tests it would only run wipers, horn and a couple of others, instrument cluster testing was not functional even though it has several active tests it says it can perform none of them work.The 3rd vehicle a Vauxhall Tigra b wouldn’t connect using auto vin so had to be done though the vehicle menu, when it had connected to the car it failed to read the engine control module, that had to be code read using the eobd tab from the 1st menu. It only performed a couple of active tests too, lights, wipers, & horn. This wouldn’t test any door regulators or roof components at all.The final vehicle I tried it with was our Citroen relay recovery truck that had the engine management light on. Auto vin wouldn’t find the vehicle and when I tried using the eobd on the 1st menu it would just come back with the no connection message. I contacted xtool support and after getting passed around between departments a few days later I had an email response asking me to allow them remote access to the scanner to load up a beta version to try to see if that would allow connectivity with the truck. Not wanting to use the truck as a guinea pig to test there software I returned the scanner for a refund.After sending the scanner back I looked over the reviews it had again and noticed that quite a few are not actually for this d8w model but are from earlier models.It’s a shame it doesn’t live up to all the 5 star reviews as the unit itself feels quite well made but at the moment the software still needs work for the UK market.Edit to my original review: the customer support for xtool are very helpful and did contact me to try and resolve the problems I had with the d8w several times, unfortunately I’d already returned the scanner for a refund.

The media could not be loaded. Having worked on vehicles professionally for over 34 years and having used many different scan tools other than XTOOL I decided it was time to purchase a new one that would do well on programming keys, after a lot of reading through reviews and seeing how happy many people were with the XTOOL series I decided I would take the plunge and purchase the XTOOL D8BT. After hearing horror stories about people receiving copies of this tool I wanted to be careful to receive a genuine unit so research pointed me to XtoolTech.com. I received my D8 very quickly and found that not only did the tool meet expectations it surpassed them. I wanted to add to this tool so purchased the KC100 and EEPROM Adapter and the support I received from XtoolTech.com was second to none. I will without doubt be using them for any addition purchases in the near future and I hope this review will help them as they genuinely deserve this good review.

Likes - Scans and reports faults on my CRV Diesel. (No Dealer available in my location). Have to help myself.Dislikes - BT antenna can be slow in communicating with device. Considering getting a wired connection to speed up scan times.Really like this device as it's got me out of trouble and helped me to see what's going on all around the vehicle. Perfect solution for my situation.

I needed to update my last diagnostic unit and spent a few days looking at reviews and videos on u tube and found this one the best all rounder, it comes with 3 years free support and updates covers the majority of cars and is very easy to use, menus are easy to navigate and the battery lasts ages, I’m very pleased with my purchase
