I dont think you give your self enough credit, for what your really capable of.... You humble yourself at that, and make no claims of being the best. Those are true signs of a real leader.
Great video. I'm a diy family mechanic. I fix my family's 30+ fleet. Time to get a scan tool, what would you recommend? Mostly Acuras and Lexus with a few Germans. It must have bidirectional control and higher end features. OBD2 only
Autel is probably your best bet 909 is good. Or topdon Phoenix plus is good as well but pretty sure they are out of stock now. Make sure if you buy an autel it’s an US version if you are in USA or you won’t get any help or support from autel.
Might be a stupid question, but is there a scanner manufacturer that offers free updates? I'd like to own a nice scanner but the yearly subscription costs to keep your scanner updated seems to be a bit ridiculous. I guess if you're running a busy shop and you have lots of money coming in, it would seem worthwhile. I'm just running a RUclips channel where I'd need the ability of a scan tool every so often.
No unfortunately. Topdon gives you the first 2 years free. A lot of the features on specific scan tools still work even if not updated especially if you aren’t working on new vehicles
Yes you lose some functions. I’ve found that out on all higher end scan tools thus far. Such as autel snap on Matco, mac they all limit you slightly if not updated. It’s sucks
Not watching , no one gives a damn about how you like to pay and not pay very frustrating listening how you go on and on about payments instead of what the video is to be about. Ill keep on my search if i stay with snap on software or buy Autel!
I've been running a Triran D10 on subscription. Love subscription. It does save about 20% on yearly updates.

Congrats on getting the award at Vision, man.
Thanks! Appreciate that

@@Enrightauto excellent. thanks for the tips. I look forward to watching more of your videos
Autel mp 808, amazing scanner.
I had the D10 for a year then I traded that in for the zues+
Was waiting for the verus ……
Thanks for your information and the advice.. where are you located?
Best wishes, nice video
Is the troubleshooter in the Snap On basically the same info I find on Mitchell?
Yes Mitchell is owned by snap on
What kind of autel is that, I would like to have one
Portrait mode????
Lol yea still new to all the RUclips and recording world. Most of the videos aren’t not sure what I was thinking when I did this one
@@Enrightauto it's cool man. I just watch a lot vids on the TV and I hate all of that waisted screen. Keep'em coming 👍
Is there one that can program modules and keys?
Yes but it’s going to depend on the vehicle. The im608 is the best for keys and has built in diagnostic capabilities

@@Enrightauto Thanks for the reply.
@@Enrightauto do you have scanners that can be used for cars,buses and trucks? Which one can you recommend
Foxwell has a few smaller tools with free updates, they are quite capable, but not nice like a tablet scanner
if you don't update Apollo d9 will you lose some functions? thanks
Yes you lose some functions. I’ve found that out on all higher end scan tools thus far. Such as autel snap on Matco, mac they all limit you slightly if not updated. It’s sucks
@@Enrightauto thanks for the reply, do you know which functions you lose on d9?
they offer me a apollo d9 for 2200 do you think its a good deal?
Love my d9 it just depends on what you are looking for in a scan tool and what vehicles you work on mostly
I’m thinking about buying that scanner how much did you pay for it snap on ?
Depends on which ones you buy. Every dealer is different and depends on if you buy it on promo or not.

Awww did I hurt your soft little feelings 😥
Snap is over priced.
Wow 😳 what an original thought!! Thanks for gracing us with your trolling.
You're welcome
