XTOOL D8 Automotive Diagnostic Tool 2023 Newest with 3-year Free Update Best Price

After taking our 2017 Highlander Hybrid to one very reputable shop and even Toyota for a multiple dash warning (Low Brake Power, Pre Collision Failure) these codes did not store in the OBD2 History for some reason, I had photos and video of the errors and my research suggested vacuum lines and or possible abs actuator failure. I asked if the shops would bleed the brakes to eliminate that possibility as I felt the brakes were spongy and too easily deprssed to the floor. Neither Toyota nor other shop felt that was cause. Well one XTOOL D8 and a ABS full bleed later NO ISSUES. Holy Smokes this device is a game changer for a DIY (some automotive prowess is suggested) but if you are looking into this tool you probably have some. YOU wont regret it, based on the other OBD2 readers I own or have used for 130-200$ This hands down puts them too shame. THis is A GREAT investment and would recommend to anyone that does their own repairs. Not to mention that Toyota and most shops will charge you 150-200$ California rates just to scan your vehicle anyhow. Yes yes auto parts stores have the free print out but this is in you shop and is active scan and adjust. NO CONTEST 10 out of 10.

I love it so far fast, accurate. All kind of resets , Fully unlocked for 3 years. I would highly recommend it to anyone that was a d y I or a shop.

I bought the XTOOL D8 about 4 months and I have used it frequently since. I like this tool and I would love to try the other products from XTOOL as well. What it does well: starts up quickly, most of the time the AutoScan function is perfect (recognises the car, obtains the VIN number, identifies issues). So far it picked up all the issues in each car. It does actuation as well: activating system, for example, various pumps, relays, switches so it is possible to diagnose different part of a system. It has an overlay function when different signals can be overlaid on top of each other, which is very visual.
What it could do better: it does not have a "Garage" in which cars based on their registration plate can be saved. For example, if I want to diagnose a car where the AutoScan does not pick up the VIN number, I have to put in the VIN number manually but there is nowhere to save it. The next time I have to do the same manual input for this car. On a few cars, I could not reset some functions after changing a major component, e.g. a dpf filter on a Fiat Doble van. This had to be done by a SnapOn tool in another garage which cost me time and money.
Overall, I am happy with the XTOOL D8 and I keep using it and learning it.
