I’ve been a fan of Xtool diaganostic scanners since I moved away from using my previous consumer-level but high quality parts-store scanners, on to the professional equipment OBD-2 diagnostic tools. After much research, I chose to go with Xtool for a number of reasons. I am not a professional auto technician, but have been working on my personal vehicles which have included many makes such as Lexus, BMW, Mercedes, Dodge, Jeep, Toyota, etc, along with family and friends vehicles, etc., as a hobby for over 30 years. To better understand my perspective: I am a professional researcher, information systems technologist and technical writer, so I am quite passionate and potentially a bit compulsive when researching major purchases! It can take me days to weeks of research because I want to be sure that I am making the correct choices based on my immediate and potential future needs as well. Ideally, when using technologies of any type, it's a good idea to future-proof your investment!Through this process, I have determined Xtool to be at the forefront of the market for which they serve. That is, from the novice to the advanced professional-level of diagnostics and repair. I have purchased and owned (4) of their products thus far, including the endoscope, D8, D8-BT, and now the D9 Pro. Each scan tool offers a higher level feature-set. The D9-Pro appears to stand out in having the highest number of Special Service Functions capabilities, along with the longest update terms of any other competitor in this class of tools. In addition, I continue to purchase their products because they provide the most solid and extensive features, update policy, and warranty, but most importantly customer service, in comparison to their competitors.Their customer service is responsive and provides outstanding product support, especially through this particular Amazon seller. You can actually purchase this product from several Amazon and/or Ebay sellers, but be very careful because they are not equal in terms of knowledge nor after-sales support. Some are not official sellers of the product and do not have a direct relationship with the manufacturer. This is very important. The developers are constantly providing updates which consist or new features, special functions, updates, etc. I once had a problem with a feature that was not working for my Mercedes E-550 Turbo Cabriolet. I contacted the this Amazon seller, Evy, which is actually a (tier-2 support) person with direct communications with the company. Within two-days, she was able to get a beta update sent directly to my (D9-Pro) that actually worked, the first time! On another occasion with the (D8-BT), that I typically let family members borrow (yeah I’m very generous), she was able to arrange for an Xtool technologist to connect with me (remotely) and view my screen to provide hands-on testing and support. As a professional technologist in the information technology field trust me when I say that this is extremely impressive and an important factor to consider. To avoid any potential problems and assure that you get the top tier support from such a considerable investment, be sure to purchase from the Xtool Store here on Amazon if you decide to purchase an Xtool product. This D9 is the best bang for the buck in my humble opinion.

Honestly for the price it a mean scan tool. Like one my co workers 10k snap on scanner couldn't get into a Mazarati the other day and I was able to communicate and clear codes and do active test. They do endless update continually upgrading and sharpening the tool. Don't think think it's at all bad for the price point.

I use this for several things automotive. It has several functions, some of which I have not been able to get from any other unit such as getting the pin number to program keys on GM vehicles. With 3 years of updates and a platform that doesn't expire I think it is a good value. It is not exceptionally fast it does the trick well. Not hard to use just could be a little more intuitive. I like that it is always getting updates which means they are consistently improving it's abilities and compliance. I also like that it helps you diagnose through the Internet seamlessly. I have used to to diagnose problems with a hybrid vehicle so it's pretty versatile as well. It's worth getting the 12+8 link for Chrysler vehicles which is less than 30 bucks so you have it when you need it for FCA. I would but this again.

Muy bueno equipo de diagnóstico lo recomendó

This is the 2nd supposedly "miracle" car scanner that I have reviewed and it is terrible. The box comes with an assortment of adapters with no real instructions as to what really to do first. After connecting to wifi the tablet has about 30 minutes worth of updates to do. After that, nothing no instructions no nothing. I go ahead and do a tablet update as that makes sense but after that I literally have to piece together a random serial cable and converter so that the OBD and serial cable mate together. I then get a beep that sounds promising but yet after scanning my car the tablet asks me to enter the VIN number. Are you @#!!#!# joking? At a whopping $1300 I have to manually enter a VIN number. Um. No. And. You. Can. Have. My. Return. I am pretty sure that all of these so-called miracle machines are simply hyped-up influencer reviews preying on people who do not return their items in the return period. In my case, this is a 2023 Kia Sorento PHEV. After updating guess what the most recent Sorento version was -- 2021. Yeah, you can take my return now. I'd offer 0/5 stars if I could but at least have to warn others to run away and honestly steer clear of any of these chinese made vehicle scanners. They are all a scam.

The problems I had were eventually taken care of by the merchant! Now, on to enjoying the tool!
