XTOOL D8W

Like so many other scanners on the market you need to be careful while looking at the data!

Sometimes the data is duplicated and sometimes it’s just wrong. An experienced tech can see that some data is wrong and ignore it while others may be lead in the wrong direction…

Seams to be missing some tests or not enough dialogue to say a test is in fact running. Honda evap tests for one. No complee in bay service test available.

Would really like to be able to have user defined pid lists (custom)instead of having to go through 50 to 200 pids to select the same ones you always do.

Little things add up to make a good tool great… software improvements can do wonders.

Overall this scanner is worth the money paid but it could be refined so much most to make it great!

Three years of updates seems fair to me… lifetime updates from others may seem better but only if the lifetime of the unit is long

Overall, I’m happy with my purchase. It won’t replace my current scanner but it will augment it!

Dieses Werkzeug ist genau das Richtige für Sie, wenn Sie bei Ihrem Honda Accord Zylinder 2 und 3 und zufällige Zündaussetzer haben. Mein Auto fuhr nur noch maximal 20 mph, nachdem ich den Kurbelwellensensor ausgetauscht hatte. Also kaufte ich dieses hilfreiche Werkzeug, um den Kurbelwellensensor neu anzulernen. Alles funktionierte großartig, nachdem ich den Kurbelwellensensor mit diesem Werkzeug neu angelernt hatte. Ich nutze dieses Werkzeug auch, um die Ölstandsanzeige zurückzusetzen und Autoschlüssel zu kopieren. Phoebe, die Kundenservice-Mitarbeiterin, ist die Beste. Sie hat mich mehrfach kontaktiert, um sicherzustellen, dass ich alles habe, was ich brauche, um die Arbeit zu erledigen. Insgesamt ist es ein großartiges Werkzeug und der Kundenservice ist hervorragend! Jeden Cent wert! Vielen Dank.

From my use of the D8W scan tool thus far, I am enjoying it. It's fast, compact, and straight forward. I am having difficulty linking up with certain dodge/Chrysler products, mainly ram pickups. I can read data on some models but not clear dtc's. On some models, not able to read live data. Just on dodge products, so far. Are you aware of this? Other than that, I like this scan tool. Thank you.

I purchased the D8W Scanner and I don't regret it.

I have not been paid or asked to make a positive review in exchange for a free product. I am an Xtool buyer and more than a DIY mechanic that work on all of my family and friends cars and so, I had the opportunity to test this machine on a variety of vehicles from diferent manufactures and models as well as to compare this tool with others competing in the same market.

I put together a few thought to help you get a detail view of what this product can do for you and so, make it easier for you to decide if it's right one for you or not.

1- The topoly feature on this scanner (D8W) is fast and, can only be obtained from XTOOL on this price range. No other scanner in the market offers it for less than $900.

2- The D8W comes with an 8" display again, something you can get from other stableshed brands of manufactures of Auto Scanners but at a higher cost.

3- Don't think that you are buying a flimsy and cheap product because it is affordable, this scanner feels solid.and it weights more than any other unit I had the opportunity to test/try of this size, assuring the buyer they are buying something durable and well made.

4- Across the market of wireless OBD scanners, many people complaint about miss/lost communication between the wireless OBD2 adaptor and the main unit but, till now, it hasn't happen to me, what leads me to believe your product does not have that issue and the connection between them is very stable.

5- Compared to other scanners on this price range, the UI is simple enough for anyone to use and even known, sometimes you have to play/look around to get to what you are looking for, if does offer a fair amount of choices and information to get the job done.

6- It comes with 3 years of free updates. At $199 a year, it's a hello of a bargain.

7- The frequency of updates provided to the D8W, is like no other manufacturer in the market. Like I said before, I not only had a few makes and models of both scanners and automobiles on hand to test them but also the time and interest to do it, and none of them had updates every week or almost daily like XTOOL do. I concider it a good thing because, it.is proof they are.working constantly to improve and maintain their product up to date with the latest software.

8- The battery, as long as you turn the unit off, like I do when you are done using it, will remain at the same level and will nor drain on its own.

9- You don't have to add your email to the device in order to be able to use it like you do with other manufactures. This simple thing avoids the multiple emails to fill up the device-storage and also the annoying notifications and remaining of them.

10- The D8W has a bilt in speaker. Yes, you may be surprised with this statement but, I had a well stablished brand scanner that didn't have one, making the feature of auto web search weak and sometimes unusable because is very hard to desifer what people are saying on a YouTube video if they are not speaking directly into the camera.

Granted, not everything is perfect on this unit and, I m going to tell you about it too. If you are a professional mechanic that deals with scanners and work on the Fiat/Chrysler brand, you will now the TPMS issue is the number one complaint amount this family of automobiles. I believe they can sell this scanner for more money if they were to concider making a few minor adjustments/improvements to it.

1- My screen is not too bright and hard to see outside during the day when exposed to direct sun light. I confess, I haven't remove the screen protector that came installed on top of the screen yet and, I am almost sure must of the screen glare will go away once I do it.

2- The trouble codes have a brief description next to it but, if you want to get more info, you will be directed to the web using the tablet's web browser Google Chrome". You won't have to remember the codes numbers because, the machine will do an auto search on the subject to make it easier on you, the user.

3- The TPMS feature still very basic, I beleive a grafic UI can be shown with the tire pressures, temperature, sensor ID and battery status of all 4,5 or 6 tires, on a single screen to make better sense and understanding of the system functionality and how the computer is receiving/reading that information.

I hope I was able to give you an honest description of what you are getting if you decide to buy this product (D8W). Also, this company's commitment and efforts to make a much better product each day.

As I grow more familiar with this unit, the more I like it and understand it. Not a pro, but, a decent wrench. Solved a couple of issues already. The wireless is a great enhancement, especially bleeding the abs and such. Some neighbors are already asking about it. It has saved me a bunch money already.
