Can you do a video on how you would use this scan tool on a used car before purchase? Upvote this if you want this video made.

Was told I needed a $500 Kia intake plus labor. Tool showed flaps stuck. Intake valve cleaner in an upstream vacuum hose fixed it. Tool paid for itself on ONE job.

This has to be the best channel on YouTube for anyone that wants to know about their car. This is especially true for Toyota guys like myself

I really appreciate how you went through the significant details, the ones I was most interested in learning more about. I got the information I was looking for. It sounds like we think a lot alike when it comes to value/skill level. Thank you for the time and effort you put into these, all have been nicely done!

My wife is going to hate this. I have absolutely Zero need for this tool. I stopped working on engines years ago. But I NEED to buy this. What a great review. Thanks.

This is my first time seeing AMD smiling from ear to ear like a kid in a candy store and super happy.

Thank you. Since I bought a 2007 Sienna I've watched a lot of videos. You are one of the few who actually do things right, explain everything and produce the most professional videos. I looked up the Xtool D7 scanner and book marked it. On a side note. Just bought a 2011 Challenger with the V6. I few things I need to take care of on that. I was sitting at the dealer and they gave me the speech and prices on extended warranty. $2000 for 30,000 miles. My answer was. For that kind of money I can buy a really good scanner and do the work myself. Looks like this will do the trick. The world needs more guys like you.

I wi say its refreshing to listen to someone get to the point and not ramble on forever. I swear some of these YouTube must get paid by the minute. I'm impressed by how much this Scan to will do and how he went thru everything showing us. Can't think of anyone else n YouTube that has been this thorough.

My lucky day. First time I’ve seen your channel. 7 minutes in I’ve subscribed. I have two $100 and one $180 dollar scanners. A month ago Scotty was raving about a $5400 scanner and I was seriously considering purchase. Thankfully I didn’t. Your communication, demeanor, production quality, vocational experience and status drew me in and the scanner review hooked me. I’m sold. I’m gonna buy. Thanks so mush. ( I’m a do it yourself- er.

Bidirectional control is very important and helpful if you are doing in depth DIY. It eliminates a ton of diagnostics so you can focus on inputs. Also being able to see streaming data. It is helpful to look at what is happening while the car is fine, say, how the O2 sensors are running. Then you have a baseline and can tell if something is wrong when the day comes.

DIYer here. I bought a lexus with a known bad transmission P0761. The deeper I get the more I need a proper scan tool. Now I see that I have to be able to activate individual valve body solenoids. Way cheaper than taking apart the valve body again. Just bought one. Subscribed. Thanks.

Hello AMD, thank you for this review of the scan tool. Your reviews are very well presented. I appreciate the time you take to explain how things work and why to do certain things. Your videos are very high quality as well as your explanations. All the best to you!

I purchased a $200 scan tool about 3 months ago, and I finally had a need to use it. Unfortunately, it sits between the tool reviewed here and the basic cheap hand-held tools. The biggest drawback to mine is that it doesn't check some of the emissions equipment like the purge valve. This one definitely has my attention. Thank you for posting the review.

Thanks for taking the time to out this video together I missed the holiday sales but have decided to buy this unit based in your recommendation. I don't own a Toyota but your content is still great to watch. Stay well and God Bless.

Thanks for making this brilliant review! I spent months researching scan tools. All of them have evasive descriptions with claims of being able to read and erase codes, but none of them tell us the full list of codes they can deal with. They all say "read and erase codes". They list a few things they can do and finish with terms like "and more". I've checked dozens upon dozens of scan tools. Whether they cost $50 or $2000, all of them make the same claims. That's one reason why I've never bought one.

Thank you! Your video was not a waste of time. It was nice to listen to someone that had experience and didn't pretend or comment on things they clearly didn't understand. Very comprehensive review. Great channel!

As for your complaint about having to disconnect the dongle in order to store in the case, I always modify every tool I acquire, especially storage boxes, so I’ll probably be modifying the case to quickly store the entire cable assembly. I’ll also store the cable outside the box in the beginning by hanging it up to hopefully remove all the bends so it coils nicer. Either that or very gentle hot air gun to coax it out straight.

Just what I have been looking for.... This is the answer to most or ALL of my DIY projects and there have been MANY. Thanks a LOT.

As an advanced DIY for 52 years, this will be my first bi-directional scan tool. Thanks AMD for this review.
