Just to clarify one thing:
At one point I say "Topscan is the First (that I've found) All System, Bluetooth Style Scanner, that works on Most Makes and Models..."
Up to now, every Bluetooth Scanner I've used either has VERY LIMITED FUNCTIONALITY on Most Makes and Models OR
has Full System Scan Capabilities on VERY Select Makes and Models...
Basically Topscan filled the major gaps that generally come with Bluetooth Tools AND it Costs Way Less than many others. Plus its an additional 5% on Amazon: amzn.to/4cUiY42
USE CODE ✅ Topscan0718
The guy who has been pushing scanners on us for the life of his channel only now says they had "VERY LIMITED FUNCTIONALITY". So you've been pushing crap on us this whole time? Sam, shame on you.
Thanks for the info Sam, much appreciated.
Is the topscan capable of reading the actual mileage from the ecu? i've been scammed before with a tampered mileage used car.
@@rallymao6811 This is a good question, but is dependent on the specific car you're working on
Review Thinkdiag2 u can program modules with it and it's 150$
The subscription fee is a deal breaker. I hate subscriptions.
I mean it'll take 8 years for it be equal value to a $400 scanner. Kinda worth if you're in the business
The sub only covers updates for the newest cars, so a sub isn't necessary to operate unless you need to update for a future car.
It's a dollar a week, what's the problem?
@@stephenrose8188 It's $200 for four years... That reminds me of when I was buying a house - I made a counter offer to the seller's agent and she told me the difference between my offer and their selling price was only 85 cents a day over 30 years. I brightened up and said "really, that's it?" Agent smiled and said yes. I said if it's only 85 cents a day, the seller certainly wouldn't mind taking that little off the price!
Seems like AllData, you just need to pay for updates. I bet if you download every car you'll conceivably need it will work out for quite some time.
You can thank all the hackers out there that broke the vin matching so we and independent car shops can repair cars. The right to repair is a huge deal now a days.
Can you explain.... I'd like to know. What topic should I google?
Actually, you can thank the State of California for forcing car manufacturers to implement OBDII and conform to standard error codes.
@mironkorzalko7761 OP has no clue what theyre talking about.
@@___asd159gh43 Neither do you, unwanted birth stain.
@@___asd159gh43 what is OP please?
I can vouch for the Topscan because it diagnosed an issue with a battery control module for my Chevy volt and I got it replaced under warranty. If I had waited 3 months then it would have been out of warranty. Saved me thousands of dollars.
Samcrac will buy a junk vehicle and make it fun fix! He's calm and work with complete ease, what a great guy💯👍
With all new cars having built in screens & internet these days, i dont see the reason why scanners are still being used. There should be new regulations that force manufacturers to have fully complete built in diagnostics software.
Companies like topdon monopolise the access to make money, they have the market cornered so can price the access however they want.
The new BMW subscription...
This already exists, is call going to the dealership, that’s why tools like those are needed
How they do billions of dollars?it need to cost few backs the best tool with free update but they dont care and take allot of money
So true, it should be a dashboard function.
Wish I would have known about T Ninja Pro for keys back when I owned my 04 S4 and 07 RS4. I had a replacement key that wouldn't start the car on the 04 (opened the doors, etc., but when started the immobilizer killed the start immediately) and a replacement key that wouldn't open the doors on the RS4 but was fine for starting the motor because I kept my original metal key w/chip and put it in a new case which for some reason would never unlock the doors). For less than the dealership would charge me to either replace or fix both keys I could have bought the TNP. Just traded them off for a new Porsche Cayman S so I kind of went with the most expensive fix (lol). Great info about the keys because there's so much smoke and mirrors type obsfucation about smart key programming on the net I can truthfully say this was the most informative and straight-forward solution I've ran across...and, I've tried researching solutions until I just gave up and lived with what I had. Nuggets like this is why I love your channel.
Please advised of topscan's year fee it really disappointed me when i get it
@Right_Side_Media $50/annually is like 1/10 an Autel's subscription fee
@Right_Side_MediaEspecially when one scan at a shop will cost you an hour's worth of diagnostic fee. Last guy I helped out, the shop charged him 175 for the scan and gave him a misdiagnosis. I fixed the issue with a scan, parts, and labor for less.
50 bucks for a year's worth of scans will pay for itself easily. I use a Topdon Artidiag Pro and it's paid for itself many times over.
@Right_Side_Mediasame thing with kingbolen ediag I'm considering buying something else after this runs out. See how I go. Otherwise it's pretty good. What features cut out after the year ended?
When I connect to Bluetooth does it say in a Chinese woman’s voice “Ze Blootoos diwice has connicted uh... successfullAy”?
😂
🤣🤣🤣
To be fair, if it doesn't say that I don't want it
I always like how the scope footage is like a year old in Sam's vids
Top Don actually make great diagnostic tools. They were a little cheaper a few years ago when they were less known.
Very true
@@Samcrac Thanks for affirming that . I really enjoy your channel and the content you make, gave been a fan since the money pit Jetta days. Cheers mate! 👍
Thanks Sam for being a true diy repair enthusiast!
Everyone knows that if you have a VAG product you should get VCDS - that's the only tool you need and it's around $400. Basically exactly the same as the dealer tool.
I just got a Chinese one for 30 bucks that dies the same thing. Its awesome
You wish. I like VCDS but ODIS with Guided Fault Finding is far superior. With the factory scan tool it basically walks you thru diagnosing any issue with a fault code.
I kinda disagree with this. VCDS is pretty overpriced and only necessary for very specific things. Like I showed with the RS7, I was able to calibrate my radar systems with the $60 Topscan. VCDS features have been cloned on pretty much every decent aftermarket tool at this point.
I know someone who sells vdcs for £20
Can some please explain what VAG and VCDS are
I was about to buy a topscan from your affiliate link until I heard about the subscription fee. A year is nothing, this is something I'd buy to use for years. Seems like a far better investment to go with something with lifetime updates
You won’t get the same All System, All Make/Model Functionality in a tool from any manufacturer out there with free lifetime updates, servers cost money to keep running as does the engineering team to continually improve and update functionality and compatibility.
@@GSRDUDE80 Fair enough. Other brands offer paid lifetime subscriptions per vehicle make, personally I prefer that business model
I bought it from Ali and came with a code which I had to email them for a one year extra subscription. Lifetime subscription means a lifetime of the scanner which could be somewhere between 3 to 5 years. I bought Ansel with lifetime updates and after one year it updated the app and started asking me to pay for updates. So much for the lifetime updates. Others give you lifetime subscriptions only for one make. Lifetime subscription is a PR stunt.
Liking the TopScan. It's worth buying it just for one Service reset. The speed at which you could create the new key for the Rangey is why so many are being stolen. It's scary for such an expensive car.
This is great that OBD has improved so much but is obviously still pretty limited on some tools. Keep in mind that the CEL and basic scan tool is ONLY there to protect the catalytic converter and your emissions system. But also remember codes are only a partial tool to fix an issue.
Does either of these work on older OBD 2 systems that still used priority software? (GM TECH 2 and Nissan Consult was still required well into the early 2000s) Or any adapters for anything pre-96 when the port was made standard?
Topdon’s professional Phoenix Series scan tools come with all the pre OBDII adapters, so you’re covered there!!
2 videos in a week? Step mom must have gotten stuck in that pesky dishwasher again!
no disrespect intended, but step mom is outstanding. sorry sam....
She often “gets stuck” in various meanings of that phrase
as an amateur car thief, this is great info thanks....... JOKING
I have an xtool ip616 scanner that has lifetime free updates and it can even program keys. I programed some keys for my mom's mini van. It programs them so fast that those vans with the plastic keys that you turn are not really safe. She always leaves her mini van unlocked. I could be in it with that scanner and have a key programed in like 30 sec and be taking off with it. But of course who wants to steal a town and country mini van? Kind of scary how fast it programs them. The scanner can be purchased for like 240 dollars for a used one on ebay. aka manufacturer returned one.
I have an XTool D7 and it's on the budget side of things, I think on a huge sale I ended up only paying like $440~ and it programmed a key in my mom's Armada in *literally** 5 seconds. I started the function, pressed the unlock and lock button, and it was paired. Any key I entered into the ignition cylinder and cycled was entered until I hit the lock button
@@jacobwebb8818 I looked at that one but that one didn't offer lifetime free updates.
Sam with a fresh haircut finally. Doesn’t look homeless anymore.
You can TDI swap it …. I happen to have a v10 tdi for you😂😂
Are any of these scanners compatable with motorcycles ?
Been using torq for the longest time I love it
Drop the engine to replace a o2 sensor, one reason among many why I wouldn't buy any Audi or VW...
What's up with the 2022 borescope footage??
In your experience does the TopScan access trouble codes in addition to the generic Global (P0***) OBD codes? I'm talking about OEM unique codes like P1***, etc. Also does your AD600 scanner access OEM specific diagnostic trouble codes? Also the same question for OEM-specific sensors live data streams? Thanks!
Of all the automotive RUclipsrs who keep their project cars randomly scattered around a farm in Florida, Samcrac is my favorite.
Sam, just bought an Audi S5 2011 as an extra vehicle. I want to do as much work as I can myself. Thanks for the video. Any other suggestions?
I've got two S6 Audi's with ok engines sitting in my yard. If you need an engine might be able to help, might be interested in buying this one as well if you end up getting rid of it.
How much for an engine and are they good?
Can you show a diagnostic too that can update the battery information on a C6 Audi A6 (2006-2011)? My understanding when the battery is changed, the computer system need to be updated to properly work with the new battery. Is that the BMS reset? Thanks.
All the tools shown here should be able to do battery replacement update. To be honest, I've never performed one even after replacing batteries on any car.
Sam is the new Ron Popeil
Ha ha.....A long time since I heard that name !
He's a great salesman. His segues are the best in the business!
Set it and forget it! (I'm as old as Sam is)
If you can make a dead Audi run you must be from a other planet...one with superior intellect and skill.
I'm a amateur shade tree mechanic and I would love to have that 4000 dollar scanner 😮
How does topdon compare to OTOFIX D🔮-1 ? Thanks
Good Vid Samcrac,
question... is there a tool that will program my forward facing camera that is for the lane departure feature on my 2013 Cadillac XTS ?
Does the Phoenix Max solve your problem with the Aston Martin module programing? Thanks for sharing this info. on these tools.
Unfortunately I've found that Aston Martin, and McLaren, V12 Lambo and some newer Ferrari models require really proprietary diag tools. I did try Phoenix on my last AM video and it will NOT program that module. But funny enough, it WILL program that module if it is was in a Volvo!
It’ll possibly program modules for AM from the ford era, doubt it will do many modules via OBDII on the newer AM vehicles, but since many are from MB possibly get away with doing some on the bench with the addition of the T-Ninja Box which is programming box and comes with adapters and bench cables to read/write to all sorts EEPROM/MCU chips for flashing, cloning, and advanced key work.
what reader would you recommend for a jeep grand Cherokee 1993 v8 5.2 engine,
Can you do dealer-level diagnostics with this? Do they offer a service desk for when issues arise? Does it have a possibility to make logging to figure out the issues on a lower down level?
As a diagnostic engineer I know well how the internals of various dealer tools work. And trust me, there is a major difference. Especially when it comes to the non-standard functionalities. I own several OEM diagnostic tools privately, 9 brands now, worth probably 100k. Most were ex-testing tools or demonstration packages. I sometimes lend them to local workshops. In practice we've found that there is certainly a quality difference to (most!) aftermarket stuff. Programming success rate simply is higher, monitoring signals read much more stable etc. Tools using D-PDU API, instead of J2534 are the best usually.
Now if I could recommend a tool (for EU) I'd get the Texa. Price vs. quality is good and it were really professional engineers. We once did a validation of their VCI to see whether it was an option to offer to our customers. We found a few but very little bugs. Couldn't say that of most other brands..
Sam, everyone knows you just unplug the parking brake and aply 12v to the contacts to unlock the caliper, then reverse the polarity to close the caliper again. Everyone has a 12v battery, no need for a scan tool to do that.
I easily rebuilt it, sleeves, pistons 4032, rods 4340, cylinder head rebuild, 2 turbos and crazy tune 👌🏼.
I don't think Sam has your prodigious mechanics skills. He's mostly a flipper.
Dang! I would rebuild the S6 but I live in Germany :)
AluSil sleeves and refurbishing the head. New injectors, new pistons and rings and off you go
You should do a video on rebuilding the steering column lock module.
Easy rebuild, but for people who can't get their S6 started, this is usually the culprit. Also curious if you have had issues with it. If not, you can unlock the steering column module through VCDS. if the module isn't completely fried.
Side note - Can't think of too many Audi's that need an engine pull to replace motor mounts. Compared to a V6/V8 Mercedes, the Audi platform makes servicing the motor mounts relatively simple.
Appreciate the clarity around subscription fees and benefits.
Hey Sam, have you upgraded your camera? I see some quality changes in the video.
SAM BUD I KNOW THIS IS A OLD VIDEO BUT FOR BREMBO CARBON BREAK DISC FOR THE AUDI £87
OF EBAY FOR YOUR NEXT ONE THE DO CHEAPER ONE'S JUST STEEL
Yes, you are absolutely right saying that manufacturers install components like sensors in impossible places, so you can't get to them and for a small and cheap part you have to disassemble half the engine. I recently had such a case with a Nissan Rogue SV 2017 2.5 l. Check engine code was 2004- IMRC stock open bank 1. The problem was Int manifold runner position sensor which is installed in the lower left part of the intake manifold, you can't get to the sensor without removing the complete manifold. Of course the sensor is worth $30 - $150 on the market or at the dillers is around 300 dollars , the entire manifold is about 600 - 700 dollars, add to that over 700 dollars for work and installation with tax comes to 1,500 dollars. Fortunately, and with a lot of work around disassembly and assembly, with a new manifold repair costs $900. You see what kind if shit are new cars today , like my Nissan Rogue with only 50k miles , not to mention paint clear coat being almost entirely piled off. Don't buy junk !
I love that a $60 scanner has Bugatti on the list... I imagine all the owners will grab one quick
I wish I could get my hands on a Bugatti to try it on 🤪
Would you plug a $60 item into a multi million dollar item? I wouldn’t
@@SnarfsBallson a veyron yes they use a lot of vag parts
@@SnarfsBallsSure would, $6 headphones into a multimillion dollar aircraft.
Bugatti=WV , I don't see anything extreme
Thank you for being a fabulous. I’m an automotive guy and any tips of future technology coming is fantastic. I can certainly say broken rings in a V1 would make me run away faster than the speed of light sometimes when I see how much is underneath the bonnet of motor vehicle I think to myself is there not an easier way, to do maintenance on them maintenance the most frightening word on the planet cheers mate thank you for being you. Regards Al down under.
With a VW Group car just use an obdeleven, it can do all the things vcds can, not just fault scanning but also live data, coding, long coding, etc.
I've tried to fix, or at least diagnose a module in my 2010 F150. The parking brake light is permanently on. Consequently I get the chime for 5 minutes and cant use cruse control. BTW, the parking brake isn't physically on! And the foot pedal works fine if I actually need the brake. I've replaced the switch twice! But Ford say I need to replace the BCM and replace the keys! I have FIXD and VEEPEAK diagnostic tools. Neither will even see the parking brake light! I'm over in Orlando if you want to look! Suggestions?
would the topscan be a suitable replacement for the Gap iid tool? I have a land rover and don't want to drop $700 if i don't have to
Hello Sam. What scan tool do u recommend if u just want to do basic maintenance like brakes. Some cars like Lexus require the rear parking brakes to be put in maintenance mode before u can change them. Thanks.
The topscan I showed in this video!
@@Samcrac 👍🏾
Xtool
i use the autel scanners for key programming and key module programming they work well they also have universal fobs you can program to a car in a emergency with out acually getting a vehicle specific key from like Amazon right away

Great diag tool vid. Thanks to Sam got the middle model for Prime Day price. Sad to see yet another Audi V10 car become "parts". If I had the time, storage, and You Tube channel that would be a great project just for engine content alone. Just not much out there in the YT world on Audi 5.2L V10 engine. Another channel recently posted an engine tear down. As a D3 S8 owner this info is gold. Thanks Again Sam.
It is kind of a unique car. It would just be way cheaper to buy a good running one and service it one time. If you look around this car that I have, it looks like it developed a really major oil leak, and whoever had it kept driving it until it popped
@@Samcrac Thank You Sir. I get your informed approach on "unique" cars... and their high price tag fixes. It has been said several times before... these Audi V10's were crazy expensive new. The "crazy" repair tax that follows them to the grave is insane. I guess you can call me "insane" for buying a minty 08 S8 last December. I just put a black door mat under the front of the car where it parks in the garage. If I can't see the oil leak on the ground then "nothing to see here". LOL! Love the content Sam. Thanks Again!
Thanks Sam ... great walkthrough and this really narrowed down the scanners that I'm now looking at ... 👍
I got my Launch Elite VW audi scanner last month, it works cool on my Audi 2006
Samcrac - you would think this info is easy to find BUT NO! On the TOPDON TopScan OBD2 Scanner Bluetooth can I register my battery on my Audi? The sub for $50/yr is not bad. But HARD TO FIND if I can register my battery. I see "BMS reset" for batter but does this mean register?
Will it program your AM with a Volvo ECU?
Aston is one of the ONLY ones it won't. Aston and McLaren are 2 notoriously difficult ones for any advanced level diag. I did try to use Phoenix Max on my DBS several months ago to no avail. While Phoenix Max will scan both McLaren and Aston it has a bit more limited functionality.
The Audi is definitely a nice car Sam, it's unfortunate that the engine has failed.
Someone needs to come up with an easy LS Kit for cars like this and many other European Cars with Failing Engines, that are in North America.
The 3 biggest issues that would need to be addressed, Engine to Transmission Adapter, Electronics and HVAC.
But it would definitely be a money maker and would save a lot of these cars from becoming parts cars.
I'm curious on the low dollar scan tool when selecting country, what would happen if you selected Europe, Would you get different information??
Theas high dollar scan tools definitely need to be regulated, since thieves are using tools like these too steel cars.
hi i am from scotland, is there a equivlent topscan or OBD2 Scanner TOPDON AD600S Scan Tool that i can get in this country, because amazon says they will not ship to this country.
The Mucar BT200 will do the same thing as your first scanner, and it is cheaper. Have used it quit a bit to diagnose issue on many vehicles. In fact, the interfaces look extremely similar. Wouldn't doubt they are actually the same.
BTW.... The app has constant updates, and NO ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION FEE!
Thanks just ordered one. Will try it out on my volvo and my my parent's passat and corolla
Truly excellent information. And your examples and demos help immensely. Great professional video. Thanks a bunch.
So can the Phoenix do key programming?
Good question Dave; it does have some immobilizer functions, so it might have some limited support of a few makes, but for dedicated key duplication/creation the T-Ninja is the way to go.
Can that cheap tool also check if the mileage is correct?
AMERICAN V engines don't number down one side, the alternate
For example - the passenger side cylinders, on an LS engine are 2,4,6,8.
The driver side is 1,3,5,7
Edit for spelling
Look up an older Ford. They start on passenger side with 1234 and 5678 are on driver side. Just saying
I been staring at Amazon for an hour now...Topscan or Ad600 ?😩 i have the 2014 Range Rover l405 as well and a prius 💡
what is the name of the scope tool you looked in the cylinder
You didn't talk about what are arguably the best tools if you have the laptop - Dealer like tools you install on a laptop. MultiEcuScan for Fiat/Alfa/Lancia, VCDS for the Audis/VW's and i'm sure there is all sorts of software that exists for other brands.
These are normally one of payments of around $100-200, to get dealer level access to your car for as long as you want.
Do you use these while at a slavage yard?
Hi Sam. Love your channel. I'm in Australia and wondered if the top scan works on Holden's and Hyundai's.

Very helpful! Avoiding the Stealership is essential!
Hey Sam, Was just wondering.. Is that a Spidgen case on your s24 ultra? I've seen it before, I'm just wondering if it's worth it. Thank you! Love your videos!

It should. Do you have the latest update? Check the compatibility list, link in my description
How would u turn key on without a key fob to power up the scan tool??
T-ninja Pro compatibilty link does not show any compatibility for Landrovers??!!
Topdon or kingbolen ediag both great on Volkswagen. I'm expecting to replace the ediag I have once it gets over 1 year of use as the licencing fee is almost as much as the unit.
What a nightmare of an engine bay.

If that v10 is like the v6s of the same time, those doesn't even have a crank damper bolt to hand turn the crankshaft.
I watched this video after you posted and went out and bought it since I have 4 vehicles I needed spares for. Got it 2 days ago and I cannot believe it only has explorers to 2019!

No go on ford key programming for most all Fords after 2018 as the latest generation PATS immobilizer system requires verified security access to the online Ford diagnostic system. Apart from Ford dealerships there are only a couple 3rd party tools that have even have verified security access. This basically means that programming a new key is basically a locksmith or dealer job using OEM SW with VSP credentials, as will be the case with most all manufacturers moving forward
