Obd11 is perfect for VAG cars if not for the subscription. Its cheaper in the long run to just buy a vcds cable and sure it’s not as user friendly, but you’re not locked behind a never ending subscription.
I think it is different for everyone. If you work on more cars, the VCDS is better, but if you need to work with 1-2 cars you can use Free OBD11 to diagnose. You still can use credits for few changes on your car if you dont need to code a lot.
@@iamcarhacker I agree, but having manual coding behind a yearly subscription is a problem if a pre-created credit option is not available for your car. I cannot justify spending €50 for using it once. A smaller subscription for a week or month would be more value, as I don’t see them stopping subscriptions anytime in the future.
Hey, your videos are very informative. Thank you. I have a question can yoou recommend a OBD Tool for a Vovlo s60 2016. I want it for diagnosis purpose and coding. And please no subsciptions and additive costs if it's possible. Thank you for your effort.
I already have an obd link but I can't find a way to register a new battery. The carista app has the feature but claims you need their own adapter to allow battery coding. Does anyone know of a way/app that can let an obd link do it?
what is the difference in-between the blue VEEPEAK you have in this video compared to the new shape black VEEPEAK BLE model I find for sale now everywhere on the internet?
Hello, I am not sure maybe it uses different ELM327 chip but cheap blue one I have works without any issues for all apps anyway so. When I try the more expensive one I will make review :)
Have your opinion for carista still the same bro ? Especially with the new Carista Evo .I think it’s better than the obdeleven!! What’s your thoughts 😏😎
If you mean Launch X431 Pro 5, go for it. The Thinkdiag is actually software from Launch and after trying Thinkdiag, I wouldn't be afraid to go with any Launch scan tool.
If you have a thinkdiag can you continue using the tool without the subscription for cars that aren't coming out new after the subscription expires or do you have to pay that just to use the tool at all even on the cars you have been using it on? I don't need a monthly bill. I'd gladly pay for updates we're needed but a monthly bill is just not for me. I only need one here and there
The Carly was the worst money I ever spent on a tool in general. What a garbage product. It basically relys on marketing hype to sell and is only in it for the single transaction. I would go as far as calling it a scam. Used it once and it takes 5 plus minutes to fail at connecting to anything.
Hi Veepeak+Car scanner app ($25) is enough to diagnose faults. but I am not sure about coding. I don't have much experience with American brands, but I heard that they don't have much if any coding options.

Great video
Ur channel is like a hidden gem , thanks for all this information ❤❤
Glad you think so!
How about a rundown on the XTOOL A30M. This is the one I'm most interested in and would like to know more before I buy.
I don't have it but if I buy it I will make video
Great overview! Thank you!
Thank you!
Comparing Thinkdiag 2 with that elm327 based devices is like comparing tank with mini cooper 🤦🏻🤣
Well they have different level of functonality, but they are all Bluetooth OBD scanners under $200 so it is reasonable comparison in my opinion.
@@iamcarhacker Except ThinkDiag 2 is more like a Techstream dongle. J2534 is TOTALLY different from simple Bluetooth OBD.
That's why the difference.
@@iamcarhackerno where near the same comparison, one costs £5 and other costs £120
@@M.E63 OBDLink is same price as thinkdiag
This was extremely helpful and loved your accent. Appreciation from Australia.👍
Thank you I appreciate it 🙏
Great video for us just starting with OBD scanners :) For BMW cars which is one is better between VEEPEAK and OBD11 for ECU coding purposes?

Hi, great video. Thank you for review. Can you give advice wich obd device is best for Mercedes s212?
Good Job! Thank You.
Which one has misfire counts per cylinder??
thanks for retroactively justifying my purchase
which one did you get?
which one of these will work well with Mercedes?
I would get launch creader for mercedes. Or thinkdiag2 from these but you will have to pay subscription
I i didn't understand, so, also Obd eleven requires a annual membership that cost?

how can I disable "speed limit exceeded" for GMC Yukon 2010 ?

Ohh I didnt know that about Carista...unfortunately without Carista I dont think there is another way without getting new adapter
Hello sir whats is your review about ThinkScan Plus S7 its good to purchase or not ? Ty for the video ❤
Hello I didn't try it yet sorry
what is the difference in-between the blue VEEPEAK you have in this video compared to the new shape black VEEPEAK BLE model I find for sale now everywhere on the internet?

Hi OBDeleven is definitely better for VAG but Carista is good for more brands like toyota
@@iamcarhacker Thanks will have a go at the eleven then .Will try the free one just to see how it works ,if not happy I’ll send it back to Amazon .

Hi do you advise purchasing the Thinkdiag 2 flashed to the X pro 5 software.
If you mean Launch X431 Pro 5, go for it. The Thinkdiag is actually software from Launch and after trying Thinkdiag, I wouldn't be afraid to go with any Launch scan tool.
Yes i recommend
How do you do this?
Does thinkdiag 2 have same customisable features as obd11 for audi cars?
Yes but only with coding, no one click apps
wgich is cheapest to do keys/fobs on japanese/korean cars ?
thank you!
If you have a thinkdiag can you continue using the tool without the subscription for cars that aren't coming out new after the subscription expires or do you have to pay that just to use the tool at all even on the cars you have been using it on? I don't need a monthly bill. I'd gladly pay for updates we're needed but a monthly bill is just not for me. I only need one here and there
Yes you have to pay every year otherwise you can use only basic obd functions (similiar to engine code reader)
i got thinkdiag 1 and 2 and Vlinker MC and veepak and highest end harbor freight obd2 reader zr15 or 13
Which model thinkdiag 2 are you using in the video
Thinkdiag2 is the model I am not aware that there are multiple variations
i was thinking to buy Thinkdiag2 cause i more complet but i didnt like too much cause one i am not profissional and 2 too big..
Check XTool A30, it still has some advanced features and comes without subscription. And is smaller than Thinkdiag2 but it doesn't do ECU coding.
@iamcarhacker does obdlinkmx+ do ecu coding ?
@@hasoonysoony3383 obdlink app doesnt do it, but obdlink adapter can do ecu coding with third party apps like Carista or Bimmercode
@@iamcarhacker is it safe to use obdlinkmx+ with them ? Im planning to use it with toad pro and do ecu coding
Diag 2 its too confusing to use xd dont recomend to buy either you need to pay a subs of 160$ per year to keep using xd
Stay away from Carly. Horrible company to deal with and not a very good product.
Agreed 100%
The Carly was the worst money I ever spent on a tool in general. What a garbage product. It basically relys on marketing hype to sell and is only in it for the single transaction. I would go as far as calling it a scam. Used it once and it takes 5 plus minutes to fail at connecting to anything.
You completely missed the fact that J2534 isn't at all the same as ELM-327 ;)
I never said that.
obd11 is very good.
Yes agreed
Hi can you suggest an app and a scanner device for RAM 1500 2015 model for coding and stuff with minimal spend.
Hi Veepeak+Car scanner app ($25) is enough to diagnose faults. but I am not sure about coding. I don't have much experience with American brands, but I heard that they don't have much if any coding options.
