After this review I went and bought the ThinkScan Plus S7 and it's worked great on my 2021 Sprinter - the key really is make sure ALL firmware and software are updated. That is my only issue with the ThinkScan Plus is the two different spots you have to go to find updates, otherwise a great tool for Sprinter owners
Sorry for the late reply but can cancel the order?

Great video! I was hoping you could help me with some information for the S7 model. One of my vehicles needs the keys reprogrammed. I lost the keys. Bought new ones through the GM dealership and they cut them. I need to program them to the vehicle. I think they would charge me 100 or $150 to program them and I wondered if the S7 would do that?

Hi could you please let me know the exact make and model of this scan tool. What a peace of kit it is 💯%. I need to purchase one of these for myself .😎.
Best advice I can give you is to email the vendor and I would buy this instead if you before 2.22.2022 as per discount is 50 percent. ruclips.net/video/rg2079gy-Ks/видео.html
Many special functions not even supported on many cars I learned from reading the answers from the seller. Many things seem to only work on certain cars of say 2006-2018. This is learned from reading answers to questions. Beware.
I learned in the hard way as I bought one for my 2016 Ford Escape trying to access my srs module RCM and the S7 says “ car not support “ 🤦🏻 wasted my money but I like the company I saw they have bi-directional units for low price.
bought it and the ECM displayed the wrong mileage...even switched to "km" and still showed it in "miles"..not only that but it was off by 11k miles more than what the odometer shows on the dash!!!! waste of time and $$...will return it. (had 2 other readers run same scan and those showed almost exact mileage (off by 1-6 miles)
Good Video you have in here, let me ask you, what is the best scanner to use or recommend for an auto repair shop in your opinion, if you don't mind answering?
Congrats on opening your own shop and from owning my own shop in past I would suggest starting off with Mucar vo6 ( same as the thinkcar mini or topdon artiag800bt and both include lifetime updates but you can purchase bi directional support if needed for $49 per yearper make but you may not really need it but it's nice to have the option with having to buy another tool ) and later on upgrading to a topdon Phoenix Elite. Here is the Mucar video ruclips.net/video/BdiN4xoj-3Y/видео.html let me know you have any questions as I've been down the path your going on. Best of luck my friend.
You will need something more powerful like this ruclips.net/video/nTninTEbdYA/видео.htmlsi=nFyIgkZng4Gw81U0 BUT each vehicle make is different so please watch video and then email the vendor your vin number and ask for a list of supported features. Good luck and out of curiosity why are you replacing the pcm on your vehicle?
Do you have to choose your three free software updates as soon as you get it, or can you choose them later as you need them? By the way, your two top links are both to the S4. Was one supposed to be for the S7?
