      Having just spent hours researching and very nearly hitting buy it now for one from UK Amazon store at £439 but something didn't quite feel right.
      I wanted to be absolutely certain I was buying a genuine item from Topdon not a grey import. Anyway stumbled upon this video and the above link.
      £335 from Topdon direct via Amazon. Saved myself £105 and confident it's genuine.

    I bought a TopDon arti diag 800 bt after watching one of your videos.
    I'm yet to find a car it won't scan for fault codes. The descriptions are more accurate than some other brands. My work has a bosch dcu 100 and I would say it gives better descriptions of fault codes and works slightly faster for example when I first got it the bosch told me I had a fault with a parking sensor the arti diag stated left outer rear parking sensor taking the guess work out of diagnosis I switched the sensor with right outer rear and it migrated problem solved.
    I find myself using my own topdon over the much more expensive diag machines that the workshop has now and I've shown people it who own far more expensive autel and snap on machines and they were all impressed and can't believe how cheap it is

    Topdon ArtiDiag800BT owner here.....they dont come with all the plugs, mine has the same plug as the THINKTOOL mini. Also as he neglected to tell you.... they are the same company, having taken my Topdon ArtiDiag800BT appart, it has the ThinkCar ThinkTool PCB. Has resistors on the board that set it to be 16GB or 32GB and Wifi or 4G (bet thats the problem with the dead ThinkTool Mini he has) it also has the headers for the Camera and the extended modules on the board.

  • @leecoon1004
    @leecoon1004 2 года назад +1

    There is a big price difference between the two models, so I can't say which one is better. The mini has an attractive lifelong free update, and it seems to have a lot of features compared to the price. The cost seems to be low because you only need to pre-update the coding separately. I think it's good for individual owners to use.

  • @DavidLopez-zz5ws
    @DavidLopez-zz5ws 9 месяцев назад

    Thanks for the vid, right now they have updated both of these, and Thinkdiag looks like my choice with the mini 2. Topdon now has the AD900bt and they made it bidirectional, but they stopped the lifetime updates and you lose me at pay to unlock the features that it already has, even if it is 2-3yrs from now. If Topdon had lifetime on the 900 because it's bidirectional, I would go with them.

    I believe Topdon and Thinkcar are one and the same company just aimed at different market, I’ve got the TD Artidiag 800BT and noticed that if you go into the android system settings the first saved network on it is called ‘thinkcar-test’ so they’re either the same company or work very closely.

    Thanks for your video, it's very informative! I have seen videos about thinktool and, in general, those who make them are specialists or people linked to bmw like you. Now, you recommend more topdon because of the problems with the other brand... I tell you that I saw a video from Mexico where a specialist did not recommend the high-end thinkcar because they could not get spare parts and the brand took 60 days to comply with the guarantee... I'm really excited about the thinkscan sd6, which is cheaper and more portable (I scan at home). The designs of the models that I showed seem quite bizarre to me, but nothing to write home about. Greetings from across the pond: Caracas, Venezuela... good luck

    lol you skipped over the biggest difference between those 2 devices and its a HUGE difference. The Think Tool Mini is a true bi-directional scanner that you can activate and test individual modules on the car and you can program the ecu and unlock extra features in the car which are usually expensive dealership addons... the Topdon cant do any of that.
    Sure the Topdon is a great scanner , but it doesnt come with half the features that the Thinktool is capable of.

    • @Nick-ud9hf
      @Nick-ud9hf 3 года назад +5

      The Actuation test functions do not come standard with the Thinktool Mini unit. You have to pay $49.95 per year for each model car you have. Also the Thinktool Mini does not do ECU programming. If you pay the extra $49.95 per year per model car, it includes ECU coding. ECU coding and ECU programing are two completely different functions. ECU programming is found in much more expensive scanners or dedicated programming units, usually costing several thousand dollars. ECU coding only allows you to change values in tables used by the ECU; ECU programming allows you to actually change the programming instructions used by an ECU.

I do without question take your word for it, as I know you’re not one to bullsh1t on such topics + clearly I don’t wish to deduct from your supporters. I guess if you want something between a plug in powered unit and the laptop (fully capable) option the TopDon unit is the halfway point between the simplistic unit and a full programmable interface - getting myself out of SE Asia with the CoVid-19 issues, but then look forward to having a proper chat mate ✌🏽🇦🇺
