Review: This is my second X Tool Scanner and they have worked great for what I've needed both on my personal vehicles and using them professionally at work as a technician. We have the big name scan tools at the shop but they constantly need ridiculously priced updates on top of the astronomical original purchase price compared to the X tool scanner. On top of being an affordable option it also comes with 3 years of free updates and even after the free period its a very reasonable price to pay the yearly fee. 99% of the time this is our go to scanner over our Snap-on for ease of use and it does pretty much everything we need out of a scan tool. It's bidirectional so it allows some changes to be made in the ECU, VIN matching components, ABS bleeding function, actuation tests for most of the systems, electronic parking brake controller for working on brake systems, etc... For the money it's by far the best scan tool I've owned or used and I'd highly recommend this to anybody regardless of of your a hobbiest or professional technician. It's a great tool to have in your toolbox! Review: I've owned the Xtool D8BT now for about a month. I have many diagnostic tools, and I really put them through the ringer. I am a diagnostic tech for a well-known nationwide used car dealer, and I scan and troubleshoot about 10-12 vehicles a day. I have gotten to know this tool inside and out, and will tell you a bit about it. QUALITY Firstly, it is quite a rugged tool (unlike many other scanners in this sub-$1000 price range). The case is solid, with no flex. It also has a kickstand so you can hang it on the steering wheel for some good ol' driver's seat diag. It can be tricky to get balanced on some cars as the tool is quite compact, but it is light enough to make it work on most cars. MILEAGE CORRECTION I originally purchased this tool specifically for it's mileage correction capabilities. We have many vehicles come in with damaged, inoperable or even missing Instrument clusters. Typically we would order a used replacement unit and have it sent out to match the mileage to the vehicle, which takes time and money. Well I am pleased to say that is now (mostly) a thing of the past. I'm sure that there are some vehicles that this will NOT do mileage correction on, but I have not run into any in the time I have been using it (bear in mind, we only deal with vehicles that are relatively new; nothing over 10 years old). This is a BIG money saver for shop owners or mobile technicians! IMMOBILIZER/KEY PROGRAMMING It's immobilizer capabilities are also incredible, for the price. I have added keys successfully on many domestic and Asian vehicles with this tool. The menus can be a bit confusing, especially compared to some higher end key programmers we use, but all it takes is some poking around to find the correct function to use. I also have also successfully performed 'all keys lost' on a Nissan Altima with a smart key (very impressive!) and a few Jeeps with standard blade keys. A few years ago a tool this capable would have cost you several thousand dollars! GENERAL DIAGNOSTICS Every vehicle that comes into my bay gets a full scan. I am pleased to say that the Xtool D8BT is a more than capable diagnostic scanner. It is SUPER quick to auto-ID the vin and execute a full system scan. Once the vehicle is loaded it has all of the same active tests and special functions as my MUCH more expensive Autel. Updates seem to be very frequent as well. My second week of using it, a Ford update (v13.10 if I recall) broke the Auto VIN function. Any Ford vehicle I scanned I had to manually enter the year make and model (quite annoying). However, within a week a new update was released that restored this functionality. This tells me that the company is staying on top of things on their end. Very reassuring. DISLIKES It is not without it's faults, however. When viewing live data, for example, there is no search function available like on my Autel. This will probably not be an issue for most, but some vehicles have HUNDREDS of data PIDs to scroll through and the search function of the Autel makes it a breeze to find exactly what you are looking for. (See my edit below; XTOOL has now added this functionality as of March 2022!) There are also a few annoying quirks that I believe are specific to the Bluetooth model (I do not own the corded version to compare). The range of the Bluetooth VCI is actually quite impressive, but if you do lose connection, even for a second, it boots you right back to the main menu. This can get frustrating, trust me. It also seems to lose Bluetooth connection if you allow it to go to sleep during a session. I have disable the auto-sleep function in the Android settings menu to remedy this issue. The last niggle I have with the tool is in it's update speed when viewing/graphing live data. It is quite slow, to say the least. It seems to update data at a rate of about twice per second. This is about half as slow as my Autel, which I also find quite slow. Overall it is useable, but really makes troubleshooting tricky issues harder than it needs to be. Honestly, all of these complaints really are minor considering the price. It is just a fantastic tool, overall. Cannot recommend it highly enough. *EDIT - 3/1/2022 Just wanted to mention that a system update was released earlier this week that added a search function while viewing live data, which was one of my only gripes! Just makes the tool that much better!

3rd edit: Xtool added a requested feature which was missing into the scanner via a software update which as an end-user is 5/5 customer service. Waiting for the trigger recording function to be implemented. PRO TIP: with the Xtool screen recording feature the end user can get the playback with the button feature to move to any time point in the recording. 2nd edit: There is a learning curve with these scanners. If you choose the wrong PIDs you see voltages. Simply checking the values below the voltage gives the readable data. Also you need the right module. You cannot read transmission live data from the engine module. Battery on this is on par with the launch 919BT with idle power loss of more than 4 % over 8h with the screen off. With an active VCI session it is higher at 2% over an hour. Edit; to speed the data transmission from the vci to the tablet I found having the car running helped. The 2024 upgraded version of the XTOOL D8W OBD2 Scanner has a 64G SSD, and wireless connectivity. That allows working at the engine without the need for an assistant. This feature is particularly beneficial for repair shops and car owners, offering convenience and efficiency. From topology scanning, diagnostics, bidirectional controls, and over 38 resets there are a number of functions for the user. The ECU coding and key programming may not be covered. With any scanner compare them and contact the manufacturer for their confirmation. The Topology Module Scan capability allows for clear visualization of connections among vehicle modules and diagnosis. I used throttle body relearn and ECU reset and was successful on a Honda CRV. For those seeking dealership-level diagnostics, the XTOOL D8W delivers precise and in-depth results across all automotive systems e.g SRS and BCM . With the ability to view live data from each system in graph form and perform active tests, users can confidently address any issues with their vehicles. This diagnostic scanner makes a worthwhile investment for automotive enthusiasts with 3 years of updates and vehicle additions. Cons: the connectivity can be an issue in a congested WiFi area. If there are too many drops try to see if the area WiFi is the cause or from another source. Battery life on these tablets could be better but it does charge when attached to the vehicle.

I've reviewed several scan tools, even tried some. They all promise certain things. THe ONE thing I was looking for above all was Trans Temp to properly refill my CVT or other modern sealed transmissions. This one is mid range priced, but no better than lower priced units and comes with a nice plastic case plus a Universal brick style charger that is suitable for anywhere in the world. Case in point. This statement in the ad clearly states: "Graphing & Text Live Data Stream (such as Misfire/Transmission Temperature, Sensors, etc)" Transmission Temperature? It doesn't. It reads the sensor and returns VOLTAGE, which is USELESS without a conversion factor to temperature. Raw voltage is unreliable until linearized and then converted to temperature; simple engineering. Battery life is mediocre. Apparently has no power down mode if you happen to leave it on; drains quickly. Not intuitive. PIDs are sometimes not typical and confusing what they really mean. Obscure numbers referencing them. Many are listed, yet are unavailable. So, why put there what isn't available? Contacted "support" which was equally useless. It took weeks to get any answer and even that response was "we're checking with Engineering". Then, a week later, amid apologies for the delay, the answer was the same: Doesn't read trans temp! So, for value, this ranks poorly. Since it does not provide what I needed AND updates are included for ONLY 3 years, buy a lower priced unit with LIFETIME updates. Stick with the reasonably priced units, but don't expect "support" from any of them.

I purchased the Xtool D8W Scan Tool for my personal use. I am a DIY kind of guy. I service and repair everything that I can. I not only work on my own vehicles, but I also work on them for family and friends. I am not a mechanic by profession but I have been working on vehicles since I was 16. Now 52. I have had a few cheap OBD2 code readers that helped some. But they are very limited. I did a lot of research before choosing the Xtool D8W. I considered a few other brands but kept coming back to this one. My initial reason for buying this is so that I can read transmission temps on newer vehicles to service them myself. Along with many other features. I can read many other trouble codes including but not limited to TPMS, ABS, HVAC, Engine, trans, ECM, BCM, TCS, and so much more. I have already used the D8W on Toyota, Scion, Honda, Subaru, Jeep, and Hyundai. I found codes that I would not have known about without this scan tool. I have been able to reset and repair more because of this tool. I have also programmed keys and key fobs for a few vehicles. I was able to disable my seatbelt chime. I ALWAYS wear a seatbelt and my passengers must also. But when I would leave something on the passenger seat with a little weight, the chime would drive me crazy. I still have the dash warning but not the annoying sound that won’t stop. I have had to contact Xtool on a few occasions for help. They are AWESOME to deal with and respond quickly. They have even followed up to make sure that everything worked out and see if they can help with anything else. I would recommend the D8W to anyone that works on vehicles, whether a DIY’er like myself or a professional mechanic. You will not be disappointed. I depend a lot on reviews but I rarely leave them myself. I believe that this tool deserves a great review. A few other things that persuaded my choice: Price was cheaper than other comparable brands/models. It comes with 3 years of updates included. Other brands are only 1 or 2. Also, when the 3 years are up, Xtool is much cheaper for annual updates than the other companies. It is totally wireless, except for charging. You don’t have to stay in the vehicle to use it. It’s bidirectional meaning that you can do tests and make changes to your vehicle that only a dealer could normally do. Now for the cons: I have yet to find any. I am a very happy customer.
