The most important thing in the end is not the number of functions but rather the compatibility with the vehicles: I prefer to have a device that does little but does it well!...
Something worth mentioning is that Xtool A30M's iOS app is useless. Doesn't have the updated interface like the Android app and freezes all the time. It's basically unusable.

Hi I have amazon fire tablet and dbscar5....Im also wanting to use x-prog3 immo tool together...but i see you need a direct link from tablet to dongle....would this work on the amazon fire tablet.
Hey! Have you checked how's the 4.21.5 version of the Anyscan app now? Did they fix it already or it is still unstable and makes A30 having trouble with connecting to the cars?
Hello. I honestly didn't know they had a new one. :) In the tablet I'm scanning with I still have the old Version 1.10. In this video I make with their new software version, in case the sellers of this company will comment and at my address they will see first where they have problems and fix them. I promise that I will install this version and I will test it on some cars and if it is problematic I will let you know.
is thinkdiag with original SW need to be connected online when you use the device or you can use it offline normally ?? is the device still work functionally after the one or two years of update finished, mean that after the update period the device stop working or i can use it normally with the last SW update i installed ??
Hi. A few videos ago I did a review on Thinkdiag. But to answer your question it only works online after a period of 2 or 3 years you can update the cost around 100 €. Why do you think it's so cheap ? there are advantages and disadvantages.
Hello. I honestly think Xtool is the fastest of all scanned but not the most efficient, it has many disadvantages. I think the only advantage over Thinkdiag is that it has unlimited updates. But not for long, I saw that the other diagnoses from Xtool were reduced to 3 years.
Hi. Very good observation. Focus only on sales, not quality. Unlimited update is a strategy that can compete with Launch and Autel. When it will make a number of customers, it will reduce these updates to 2 years, more than likely. however, it is a hobby-only diagnosis regardless of model. even the most humble of them has many shortcomings. My opinion is that Xtool is a brand for Hobby.
@@YOYODiagnostic I bought Thinkdiag from that UK store you suggested, thanks for that hidden gem! One important thing to now, is that the software is not supported by latest Android 12! Kind of a bummer, I had to buy another phone to fix the issue.
@@rickardkevaanranta7808 Thank you for sharing your information with us. It's good to know that Thinkdiag has these problems. I had the same problems on Android 6 and 8, only on Android 10 I managed to make it run.
Hello. I haven't tried it but I've seen what this tester is all about. It is a cheap version of the same company Launch-Thinkcar-Artipad. If I were you I wouldn't buy that crap because it's very limited in options and after a year the special features that have to be paid for cost more than an original Launch with all options active. Just my opinion!
@@YOYODiagnostic Okay, thanks for the feedback. I saw that mucar also works with diagzone. I am interested if mucar with diagzone will be better than thinkdiag with diagzone.
I own both the thinkdiag full software for 2 years package and the Xtool anyscan a30m and even though Xtool has a lot more special functions I prefer the thinkdiag platform because of the specific car software special functions and actuation test.
Something worth mentioning is that Xtool A30M's iOS app is useless. Doesn't have the updated interface like the Android app and freezes all the time. It's basically unusable.

Any video reviews on the Topdon Plus vs Lauch X431 Pro vs Autel MK906 within the $1,200 range cant find any comparing to find the best bang for the buck to work best on GM and Chevrolet, Ford Etc..?
Hello. between Topdon and Launch there is no difference in menu and operation other than color. one has a red menu another blue one. Launch has launched several brands of testers such as Thinkdiag, Thinkcar, Topdon, they all have the same functions. If you want programming modules, Autel is the market leader in this area.
Hello. Of course, I used them, but I still don't use them. How can I give you an answer based on real facts. I do not present products, I try to show you which ones are worthwhile and which ones are not. To return to the subject from a professional point of view, Launch is the best, but as a quality price Thinkdiag. I have prepared some videos where you will see them connected on different cars!
I don't know where you bought it from but you have to be careful with the sellers. There are also old offers where special functions were paid for and you only had 3 car brands for free. Current offers are all free brands and special features. I already showed you in the video review with Thinkdiag where to buy it. If I choose high sellers I don't know what to advise you.
Excellent video! So.. you recommend thinkdiag original before Diagzone? But with Diagzone you don't need update after two years to continue use the scanner. Also you have 28 special functions instead of 15
Hello. Yes I recommend Thinkdiag for DIY. Diagzone only works on Old Chip diagnostics. They are still found but the Price is double than a normal Thinkdiag, and the Diagzone Software also costs twice as much as a Thinkdiag. To have a functional Thinkdiag with Diagzone Software costs almost as much as 4 Thinkdiag diagnostics. If you saw the video where I did a review for Thinkdiag, bought from England has a free update for 3 years. This means that at the current price you can buy a Thinkdiag and an upgrade extension after 3 years which currently costs € 100 per year. According to my calculation Diagzone costs as much as a Thinkdiag with a function for at least 6 years and you always have a new update. It is best to decide what you want to buy.
@@YOYODiagnostic Hello. Please tell me what is the best thing for me to take for diagnosing a Mercedes? I have two cars 2003 and 2009 of release. A friend also has a 2012 hybrid Mercedes. Thank you for your hard work.
@@nikolaipotapov9567 Hello If you ask me, my opinion is that Xtool is ok for its price. If you do not have the problem to update 80 Euro annually then Thinkdiag
Hello. It's a good scanner but from what I've seen its price is around 200 euros on Amazon, a bit expensive because it has only 5 special functions. If you know you don't need more it's ok, you know what you want to do and why you buy it.
Some videos will follow and you can decide for yourself very easily. Because I don't sell and I have no interest in praising a product for what it doesn't do. On RUclips you see a lot of reviews of the product when it is taken out of the box but never or very rarely connected to the car. We do not buy a product because it has a sophisticated menu but we want it to work.
Nice review. Keep it up. I want to buy the old thinkdiag that works with diagzone. Can you do a review of diagzone? What is the benefit of using diagzone? I thought diagzone is free. Why is the old version of thinkdiag expensive? Can it work without having to pay? I need to know cos I don't want to waste my money.
People don't buy Thinkdiag! 1 year is free when 1 year is over then you have every free updates you got gone and then you have to pay subscription starts with 1 month 70€ AND EVERY CAR BRAND WILL COST 30€ Volkswagen 30€ Mercedes 30€ BMW 30€ I say this for you sellers always talk DON'T BUY THIS JUNK
So it is more profitable to buy another as I said. Where is the problem ? Rather than paying that aberrant amount, you'd better buy a new one. Why not buy with a 3-year license and then throw it away and buy another one? I think the amount is very small for what he knows how to do. and a quality Delphi clone costs 100 euros and is a clone!
but this iis comparing thinkdiag to xtool a30 which is the very bottom tier for their bluetooth devices,the xtool also has a30d and a30m.the a30 used here has 5 functions where the a30d has 11 and a30m has 21 functions.think diag has 16 functions.but think diag costs $100 where a30m costs $200 BUT what really stands out here is xtool has FREE subscriptions for every make thus once you purchase you have all cars and dont pay nothing where think diag you have one free sub for one make for one year,every make costs $39 this alone makes xtool a30m the clear winner imo.Infact its identical to either the xtool d7 or d8 cant remember which one but those are $500-$700 scan tools so your in that catagory.
Hi. I try to test in many brands. If something doesn't work you should appreciate it, or you want me to show you a product and praise it when it doesn't do half the work. So far I have tested Audi, BMW, Renault, Opel, Ford etc. I don't have to show you something that works in a video, I'd better show you what doesn't work and draw your own conclusions. Thank you for your opinion and I will take it into account. Will be tested on many cars that are even 1 year old and on several brands even Japanese. Delphi works on WM software, which makes it uninteresting to me. Why use it if there are other 10 times better options?

What you propose from this one for specific car like w220 mercedes S class ? let say to be able to lower the airmatic etc.
they all work for what you want to do, it depends on what you want to choose
So for the X diag does all the functions work and does it support key programming.
Not really, it has problems too.
