TOPDON AD500 OBD2 Scanner Car Code Reader Scan Tool, Engine ABS SRS Transmission Diagnostics Tool, Oil/Throttle/SAS/TPMS/BMS/EPB Reset Car Scanner, Free Upgrade for DIY

Purchased the ArtiDiag 500 OBD2 Scanner and it's working great. Easy step by step instructions for downloading latest software. Live data on what turned out to be the knock sensor was displayed as advertised. Screen good size for seeing lots of data. Build quality is rugged, not real stressed about dropping is as it has thickened edges all the way around. The diagnostic capabilities are much more than I need but I like having the detail if needed.

Tons of functionality for the price. Easily beats out most of the top brands, and one of the best things besides the back lit full color touch screen is the lifetime free updates. Other brands you have to pay for updates or have a black and white screen. Great tool To read live data, check and clear codes . Plug and play easy to use and connects to WiFi. I’m going to try and see if it can hold my throttle at a specific rpm so I can spray in some gdi cleaner.

I got this device because I have a fleet I maintain and work on. I've tried this device on many cars and would say it favors more of the american cars in my experience. Some of the pros and cons I've noticed and listed below. Pros - Rugged Design - The device feels like it has a nice rugged case on it and could withstand a fall which can be very useful when working around cars. - Covered ports - Nice touch. I really like that it has covered ports. This can too be very useful keeping dust, dirt and fluids out. - USB C charging port - I love being able to charge via usb c. This port is most commonly used and have them throughout my home, one of my favorite features. Cons: - Updates - Not 1 click for me. I had a few updates fail the first time around. I had to do the updates about 3 times to get all of them to successfully install. - Coverage - The coverage could be better. This device only has a few maintenance functions. Topdon should have more coverage for the functione it does offer. It was unable to oil reset the 2 vehicles I tried it on. One american and one Asia brand. - Alerts user to disconnect vci - Useful feature for devices with BT vci. For this wired device, not necessary. Overall great product, for the price it is well worth the money and I would say falls into the category right above beginner. It's just one step above the $30 basic scanners out there. If your an advanced DIY or shop, skip on this one.

This scanner is perfect; it works very well and it's constantly updated, both the firmware and the database, to always have the latest and most recent information.

This scan tool is effective, but very slow. Updates also take too long and prevent you from using the tool until the update is performed.

I was able to reset the idle and adjusted the throttle position with this tool. Excellent value. Nice touch screen. This is a mid range diagnostic tool, meaning that you can do some changes, and resets to the computer on certain areas of the car. If you want more functions, then you will have to get a more expensive higher range diagnostics device. This was what I needed. It's very easy to use. Comes with a nice carry bag, charging cable and OBD2 cable. It comes with a small manual but I didn't even read it because it is easy to figure out. Make sure to plug/unplug OBD2 while the ignition completely off. This is true for any OBD2 device.

This scanner is awesome. I needed a new scanner to replace the simple one that I recently broke and decided to go with this top don scanner. It did everything I needed it to do and more, and the price was perfect. I use this scanner all the time. It can retract electric parking brakes, reset oil life, read and clear codes, and it gives really helpful information on what I'm working on. And one of my favorite things is how fast it is. It really is a fantastic scanner. 10/10 recommend

Good deal for the price. The scantool is ok for what it is capable of vs the higher priced options of a fully Bi-Directional Scanner. It will do alot of basic relearn functions and has good scantool properties and can scan modules other than engine controller. The battery tester has left much to be desired, printer never self feeds, always binds, it relies on the battery power from what's being tested, it cannot hardly ever tell you if a battery is actually good or bad, it does test alternators very well though and it still provides a printout to put in front of your customer. Starting circuit test is just a timer and watches low voltage point, kinda useless in that aspect. I would definitely recommend the scantool, the battery tester is more of a freebie they throw in because it's not very good. Will be upgrading in the future. Also the scantool has updates for a year or two and has its own battery power and will connect the wifi and send reports and such. Nice tool for the price
