I am a professional mechanic and use this tool daily and could not be more happy with it,it’s fast the data is accurate,just the perfect size and extremely capable not to mention insane battery life,I would recommend this tool to any pro or a diy.I have used a huge array of scan tools over the years from top of the line snap on and Matco tools to launch and autel ultra and I would still grab this one over the others

ABSOLUTELY GREAT SCANNER AND DIAG TOOL!Professional auto mechanic

works as intended, fast UI, fast Scanning, very easy to navigate, organized well, a good upgrade for a young mechanic that plans to stay a mechanic, overkill for none mechanic. great product for the price.

I owned Autel, Snap-on, Innovis, and other bidirectional scanners and this one is better than all of them. The price point blew me away! I can't believe I got such a fantastic scanner for such a low price. The same quality of scanner from Snap-on would have been more than double the price. Plus you can get many accessories that adapt to this tool.

One of the biggest things I needed are blend door calibration on jeeps, I can't do. But still a lot of good functions. Battery life is good. Came with a bunch of obd1 connectors but can't actually use them.

The scanner seems to be fast and I was able to put the brakes system in to maintenance mode on my Subaru. The system seems to be responsive. I do not know how this compares to similar scan tools. I did try to get a different brand a few years again. That one came in with the unit used and already registered to another user. I ended up returning that. Everything was good on this unit.The one thing that I am concerned about is subscription related. When the 2 years of updates is up, the policy is a little vague saying "functions may be limited ,.......... and programming functions may be inaccessible". Hopefully, the ability to use features like putting the car into brake maintenance mode is still available or I will be upset. Also, a one year subscription is half the price of the scan tool. At that price, one might as well by a new scan tool with 2 years of free updates every two years and sell your old scan tool; one would come out ahead. It would just make more sense to update if the subscription was a little less. Just a wish --I knew that before ordering.

First, study up on scan tools. Know what they are, and what they are not.This was bought on Amazon, I immediately registered my unit with AutoAuth, which Amazon Autels won't do. So that was a relief. So setup was fairly fast and simple. If you're working on any 2017+ Fiat/Chrysler stuff, buy an Autel from a real dealer (not Walmart or Amazon, I suggest aeswave) or buy a Topdon (again, I bought my unit on here, after talking to topdon about the whole AutoAuth thing with autel.) I got this unit for $962(real short sale, like a 24hr offer)I wish they would update to a newer version of Android, and allow Play Store. But for Android 10, it's plenty fast enough.I chose this over the Phoenix 2 mainly for it's screen size, ram and processor, essentially the only differences. The Phoenix 2 isn't explicitly listed on AutoAuths site either, but they have an "others" sub catagory in the models. So maybe it can be registered, I don't know 100%. Sellers will tell you whatever you need to hear to sell units, so I'm trying to offer my knowledge on this...I'd choose the Plus vs the Phoenix 2 again, as the screen alone is needed if you look at much in the wiring diagrams online.This is NOT designed to do module programming on USA models, there is no passthrough vci. It's a VERY capable and very quality built device, but it's not the "one device does everything" solution. For most of us, it's plenty. Passthrough vci alone is like $1500, and requires subscription to dealer services for software, and a bunch more stuff. This is NOT the tool for programming USA models. Again, research will help you understand this...Research research research. Briank100 on YouTube does reviews, actually good comprehensive ones for an old duffer, he does a bunch of different ones.I avoided Launch, due to not knowing what special functions were free and ones you had to pay for... Autel has no USA warranty or supported by AutoAuth unless you buy from a USA dealer. Xtool makes nice units, but again, no AutoAuth, requires a bypass cable for FCA. Same with Foxwell (I own a bt809ts). Foxwells are ok, built nice, old Android firmware though. The ads say they support AutoAuth, they don't. You have to use a gateway bypass cable. (Tearing the dash apart to find to begin with)The renewal is $549/yr for the Phoenix Plusafter your first 2 years.OVERALL, good unit. Probably overpriced like the others. Free 2 years of updates. Probably buy a new one after 2 years. 2 years of updates will buy a new unit alone, so....Buy one. I think you'll be happily surprised.

This scanner is awesome. My techs love all the diagnostic features and capabilities. Great product.
