XTOOLIP919 PRO Scan Tool, ECU Programming Scanner with Topology Mapping, Upgrade of D9S PRO, 42+ Resets, ECU Coding, AutoAuth for FCA, CAN FD/DoIP, Bidirectional Scan Tool with 3-Year Updates

After learning that for some simple maintenance, on my 2022 Subaru Outback, I needed a bidirectional scan tool, I began looking for the best scan tool for me. After spending many hours comparing scan tools, viewing YouTube videos, contacting customer service at different companies for detailed lists of functionalities available for my car, I decided to purchase the Xtool IP919Pro. This tool gave me all the features I needed, at a reasonable price.Here are a few reasons as to why I chose the IP919Pro.1. It came with three years of software updates. The annual software updates can be pricey. Getting three years included from the get-go helped me reduce the immediate future costs and allowed me to purchase a higher-level scanner.2. Customer service. They replied to my inquiries faster than other companies. They followed up in a professional manner. After my purchase they followed up and asked if I needed help, if the tool was working well and to let them know if I encountered problems.3. Functionality. For my Outback this has all the special functions I was looking for. The Emergency Brake release for brake maintenance. ABS bleeding and manual transmission re-programming for when I replace the transmission fluid.a. Topology—this has the easier topology view that is so much easier to navigate than a normal interface on other scanners.b. The connection to the car is through a wireless WI-FI connection and not blue tooth. It can also connect through a cable for better stability for programming functions.c. 42+ reset services. It has more than comparably priced units.4. The reviews I watched on YouTube had more positive reviews for Xtool, calling out impressive functionality like Xtool scanners providing even the four digit security codes used for key programming, instead of having to reach out to the dealers to get that by VIN.I have now used the tool to do emergency brake release for brake maintenance and resetting and the tool worked flawlessly. I used it to do a diagnosis of my car, and it flew through the module topology. Very fast. Some of the other tools seen in videos weren’t nearly as fast. It’s a powerful tool that will pay for itself repeatedly as I use it to maintain our vehicles.It came with a quality case. It has a very nice charging stand. Many different adapter connections to different cars. The updates that I’ve done so far have been fast. I’ve had other regular scan tools, and the updates take a little more than what I’m seeing with this tool.It’s an investment, and a need for all of us DIY mechanics, that will help us continue to maintain and work on our cars as much as possible.

I bought the scanner for my husband and he loves it. It definitely suits his needs as a mechanic. It works much better than his prior scanner.

The unit was packaged very well in a sturdy plastic case. The unit is beefy but feels very premium in hand. Right away I realized the IP919 is blazing fast during the auto scan. I am not a mechanic however the menus are very intuitive and fairly simple to understand. I connected to wifi and was able to print reports within minutes out of box. Tons of features maybe more that I will ever need but nice to have. Last but not least the 3 years free Annual Subscription is what sold me. For my needs I find no faults with this unit. Enjoy!!!

Still getting use to new scanner but seems to work well I like new topology feature

No support for dodge/ram over 2022.I have a 23 ram cummins, 23 charger and 25 Durango, non of these were supported. Contacted xtools got a basic response of keep checking back we don't know when it will be available.

I am by no means an expert mechanic, but I own four cars (two Corollas, a Mustang V6, and a Mustang GT). I recently purchased the GT, and it has a strange issue with the climate control system (I won't go into all the details here). Since the car is under warranty, I took it to the dealership, but they were unable to fix the problem.The dealership performed an evacuation and recharge of the A/C system, though I had a feeling that wouldn’t solve anything. They also replaced two actuators. Altogether, they kept the car for two weeks but still couldn't resolve the issue.Eventually, I decided to purchase a bidirectional scan tool. I already had a good experience with XTool products — I previously used their TPMS scanner to replace my 2011 TPMS sensors without any problems — so I trusted their brand. It turned out to be a great decision. Within just a few hours, I was able to identify and fix the problem myself: one of the actuator arms had snapped out of its joint. No matter how many actuators they replaced, they were never going to fix the problem without addressing that. (See the attached picture where I've marked the location.)The scan tool also comes with plenty of accessories. I really appreciate that it charges by simply being placed on a charging dock — no need to plug it in every time.Overall, this was a very positive experience for me. I would definitely recommend this tool to others. Again, I’m not a professional mechanic, but if you are mechanically inclined, this tool is absolutely worth having.

This is an amazing tool for cars built after 1996. Fast scanning, great features particularly if you service BMW vehicles. All around great tool. You won't be disappointed.

This XTOOL IP919 PRO Automotive Scan Tool is an excellent scanner with its complete accessories just as I was looking for, good performance, with 3 years of free upgrade, diagnosis for several vehicle models, in its original case. Easy to program. Good communication with the Xtool company representative who responds immediately. The price is acceptable and makes it easy for us to buy it in these difficult times. I recommend it 100%
