I have the same model and i finely got intouch with the company and found out how to use the back camera, Hope this helps.
1. Hit the setting button. 2. Click on your name or next to it. 3. It will go to "Head Portrait" tap on that. 4. Select "take a photo"

Sorry for the late reply! did you find a solution?

Just got to know from the seller that the bidirectional stuffs and ecu coding are not supported on my kia. Seems like the advance functions are limited to some brands and models only. Reality doest not really match with their marketing and they do not have a list of what function is available for each brand and model of cars.

[@RANDOMFIX]

This is not bi directional, if you want to unlock bi directional features you need to pay $50 per year per make..

[@joajas]

@@RANDOMFIX The seller said even if I paid the subscription, the bidirectional functions and ECU coding does not work on my Kia. Only the basic function works. So basically this can only be used for reading and clearing codes.

[@sarongarlonggi6688]

Is there options for checking engine temperature when idling? This is for Toyota sealed transmission fluid changes

[@RANDOMFIX]

Yeah

[@nedunonnyp704]

Also, Please, ECU Coding Means Calibrating, Resetting and Initializing Modules/Sensors? Is there A Limitation to this ScanTool? Is There a Module/Sensor this Can't Calibrate/Initialize? I'm Looking to Calibrate/Initialize Sensors and Modules with this Tool? Like Steering Angle Sensor

Is this plug and play compatible with the 2019 Sprinter VS30 907 with 3.0 diesel?

[@RANDOMFIX]

Yes, I have the same 3.0 vs30 907 Sprinter.

[@jameswan670]

Bi functional and ECU coding will work even after subscription expired?

[@RANDOMFIX]

If the subscription expires you will lose the bi directional feature and the ecu coding.

[@billmonroe8826]

Does this give fuel trims by chance?

Thinktool Mini vs TopDon Artidiag800BT which one is better ?

[@RANDOMFIX]

Mini as it has the market to buy an upgrade if you want but the software is the same.

[@taipan8021]

I'm not sure the Updates are Lifetime. They stipulate 2 years, what happens after??

[@RANDOMFIX]

They are lifetimes

[@israeltorres7608]

hi is this better than foxwell nt809

[@RANDOMFIX]

The thinkcar scan tools are better quality than foxwell.

[@ericaviator8869]

You noted earlier that subscription expiration removes bi directional feature ? Is there a cost to keep subscription ? Yearly ? And how much ? Out of the box tool has no bi-directional capability ?

[@RANDOMFIX]

Obd2, the resets, live data won't ever expire. $49 per year per make for bi directional support. Please note not all features are available on all makes.

[@karklinik9000]

bi directional feature will not be retained to this device after it expire..you need to pay for it and download it again..

[@taipan8021]

It says 2 Years, but didn't it's worthless without update. Thanks for the insight, was planning on ordering. I guess I'll go for the Ancel V6

[@RANDOMFIX]

I don't know what you are looking about but here is a link and it includes lifetime updates.

Let me know.

[@nedunonnyp704]

Hello, How does this Compare to The ThinkScan Max?? Looks Like They're Similar in Functions? What Are The Differences? I'm trying to Decide Before I Buy.

[@diy04514]

price and name that is only difference

We can use with out wifi

[@RANDOMFIX]

Yes, you don't need wifi to use it.

[@Manowar68]

Auto VIN and some of the features like info search for DTC codes, you do need wifi!

[@angelstibbefloresmurillo5750]

Hello Randomfix,
Thanks for this video.
There is one thing I don't have clear, all 28 special functions work without charge (fees) or do we have to pay for them to work? Also, do those special functions receive updates for lifetime free?

[@Manowar68]

They free
You pay only for Actuation and coding

[@RANDOMFIX]

I appreciate your constructive comments, thank you for the feedback!

[@konhoechin2447]

Hi..can it calibrate TPMS?

[@RANDOMFIX]

Very good and technical question. It can read Tpms but for your question I suggest emailing the vendor with your vin and they will let know all the available features. You will find a link in the video description.

[@karklinik9000]

you need a tpms g1..it's compatible for this model..

[@nedunonnyp704]

Does this Come With ECU Coding and All Those Diagnostic Features Stock Out Of The Box??

[@Manowar68]

Nop

@@Manowar68 Well Thanks.. But, The Makers Need to Throw it Away! Its Like Advertising A Fully Furnished House.

Actually, it's not true. I have it, every seller whether is on Amazon, Ebay, Aliexpress. They do mention that 28 reset features always free updates, the actuation (Bidirectional) and coding, $49.95/year per manufaturer. Ppl don't read descriptions all the way to the end! Check it yourself if you don't believe me. Other manufacturer s you pay for whole features $600

[@Manowar68]

Ok, so I've tested more of a gadget. Actuation features are working out of the box. That means that only updates for future you need to pay per...$49.95

Sorry for the late reply! did you find a solution?

[@dga5396]

Do you have to subscribe to the $49. on each vehicle you look at? Thanks

[@RANDOMFIX]

No only $49 if you want to fully unlock the all the features for that make. This is optional as the basic features are plenty for most people.

[@dga5396]

@@RANDOMFIX Does the basics have the bi-directional

[@RANDOMFIX]

You need to pay $49 per year of each make you want access bi directional features

[@ericaviator8869]

@@dga5396 excellent question ! And worse, sounds like have to pay $49 for each specific manufacturer and model ?? If true, That's beyond annoying ...

What are the life time updates 🤔

[@RANDOMFIX]

The tool will get updates of future years for no additional costs. Means it's only going to get better.

[@diablo6000]

@@RANDOMFIX so would the think tool be better option from the autel 808mp.

[@RANDOMFIX]

The autel units are more complete but there is a hefty price difference. I think in next year you will see thinkscan be on par with as autel. I would be buy thinkscan or Mucar vo6 units unless you work at shop.

[@diablo6000]

I'm interested in a scope. I have the 808mp . I like trouble shoot my vehicles. You have any videos or recommendations on a portable scope. Thanks for the info 👍

Video scope?
