Thinkscan Max 2 has lifetime updates, but if you wish to purchase for example BMW coding functionality then you have to pay $50 per year. But read and delete faults and service reset functions listed all free.
Excellent video on this and the ThinkDiag 2. Are these pretty much the same other than getting the dedicated tablet with the MAX 2 or are their additional functionalities with the MAX2?
Doesn't do all they claim, even with the GM add-on it will not do what they say. This is no better then a cheap code reader. These reviewers must be paid or never worked on a car.
It might be worth contacting support if you're having issues. The bidirectional controls and special functions are what set this apart from a basic code reader
I already contacted their so called support, they even admitted it will not do as advertised. The only big directional capabilities it has is to turn on and off simple things. I have been repairing cars for years and this is junk. People are better off buying a cheap bluetooth code reader over this. You were paid for this review, weren't you ?

Looks like paying the 49.95/brand/year gets you activations/active tests and coding as well which isn't bad. These tools are getting cheaper and adding more features every year.
Great video! 2 years later and yes! they made some changes. One thing I noticed , IMMO, is in there working good. The cheaper Think scanner bluetooth cannot compare with this year offer,2023, Lifetime free updates. You do have to purchase your specific vehicle make for $50 per car. But thats fine if you charge it to the patron your serving. I am not promoting Amazon but if you apply for their credit card that you dont have to use you get $200 off, plus additional $60 coupon. after taxes and free shipping it down to $185.00
Thinkdiag 2 felt like an amazing device, I ended up getting it thanks to your video. But sadly, it wouldn't talk to the ECU on my 2005 Bentley Continental GT. I suppose some protocol issue. Other scanners can read the car fine. So I suppose Autel is the safest bet to avoid such hiccups, or should I consider this Max 2?
@@sdgelectronics It will be a nice educational tool for my vocational training institute. It seems good enough and cheap enough (no worries if it gets swollen).
Especially when it doesn't do what they claim. I actually fell for it and bought one. Doesn't code replacement parts , even with the GM add on. Called their support line and they even said it doesn't do what they list. Do not buy. You can get a cheap Bluetooth reader and a free or cheap app for your phone that is better then this piece of junk. The only ones that review it and say it is great are the ones they pay.
Select what options you want to see, don't select all before you view live data. Because the process running will use the device memory. It is same for all scanners.

Ideed i think thats sneaky, I knew it was to good to be true.
Very nice bit of kit, great if you're starting up in the diagnostic business. Thanks for sharing

I have am Autel, but I like this one much better!
You have any solution for storage problem becouse whenever you update a bigger file like bmw so it always tell you not enough storage
We can used without wifi?
Sir price??
Can't get to connect to 2005 Honda

You can flash 2020 ford car PCM with it?
Better is thinktool lite with all functions of ecu , no max2

Should have started with the "Hidden Costs" mate. Almost made up my mind buying it, had I not watched till the end.
Does it have video output or screen casting?
No, it can share DTC report via email!
Sadly not. I did try with a USB-C to HDMI, but no output
@@sdgelectronics It will be a nice educational tool for my vocational training institute. It seems good enough and cheap enough (no worries if it gets swollen).
is the tool still work for ecu coding without pay licence ? like they still have function to write copy, backup data the last version ?
what can you say about the support and updates? Does thinkdiag have 24/7 user support?
can it do active test for example transmission sonloid active test ? and can it do reast transmission
Is ecu coding the only thing you have to pay for, or is it active tests etc also?
Won't be long before the car just tells you what's up...cheers.
Sir which is better to buy for me Thing daig 2 Or thinkcar max 2
Plz give me suggestions
The Max 2 is more convenient, but they both have similar functionality.
Can it do what the pd8 Think tool can do ?
Thank you for the video!👍
Feels like a review channel at this point.
Do you have any solution
I can't update all file same time becouse of the storage
I've not come across this, I have all installed with no issue. You could try support?
Hi sir can this read peugeot? What models? Thank you😊
Works with pretty much every Peugeot since 2002
Thanks. Is this better or mini 2?
@@MrRGM10 thinkdiag 2 is probably best if you don't mind using your own tablet or phone. More functionality
Looks just like the Topdon scan tool ! Not sure if these are just re badged ? The UI is much better than the Autel..
I think the tablet must be generic. No point redesigning an android tablet, since all phone magic is in the software
Good review. Seems expensive for a DIY person.

I am amazed at the refresh rate for the live data. My Launch x431 is so slow.
Select what options you want to see, don't select all before you view live data.
Because the process running will use the device memory.
It is same for all scanners.
