Thinkdiag2 All System Bidirectional Control OBD2 Diagnostic Scanner for iOS & Android, Bluetooth Scan Tool with CAN-FD Protocol, AutoVIN, Active Test, 15+ Reset Functions, ECU Coding, 1 Year Fr-ee

This thing is VERY capable. I've used it for bi-directional troubleshooting, I've been able to WRITE VIN TO REPLACEMENT ECU/PCMs (including IMMOBILIZER and KEY OPERATIONS)! Huge benefits there. Live data is great, the information is spot on, and it is very easy to use. I was looking at $1600 name-branded scanners for their capabilities. I'm an Amazon Vine person, and I will say this - I paid full price for this on my own, and I would recommend it to everyone. High value, good design, easy interface.

I'm blown away by this scanner. The functionality is in my opinion comparable to scanners in 1000$ range. I was able to test the cvvt solenoid on my car. Also able to check the camshaft position as well. If I had known about this brand before, I wouldn't have spent 160$ on my other ob2 scanner that doesn't even do 10th of what this on does. Three of my friends bought this scanner after seeing everything it is capable of.

Initial setup was easy (don’t throw away your paperwork for the serial and activation) I’ve got most of the features of some of the bigger name scanners with the convenience of my phone. Was able to pull codes, reset my oil change light, and my tire size in minutes. I’d recommend this to anyone that needs a great scanner for more modern vehicles that does their own maintenance.

I too considered the negative reviews and decided to try anyway. I emailed ThinkCar and got confirmation that I could do a 2008 Prius ABS brake bleed and linear offset relearn for our ABS actuator replacement project (yes, the $1200 part, or the $2700 repair at your local shop). It can be done. The mechanial part is actually not hard, just tedious and time consuming. It's the post repair configuration that gets you. I noted in the product FAQ's that functions were not as "robust" on IOS, so I purchased an Android tablet. Software would not install, said incompatible. First flag. Installed software manually on the tablet no issues. Initialized the software for Toyota and successfully registered and connected to car. Proceeded to run the ABS brake bleed but it would not finish successfully, crashing at various points or finishing "unsuccessful". Four hours of retrying and searching for answers, no luck. No online support, email or phone only during work hours m-f. Not taking a day off to get the runaround as described in other negative reviews. We then proceeded to use the mini vci cable and cloned tech stream software also purchased off Amazon. (Which involved building a windows 7 pc for compatibility, and downloading an ancient copy of tech stream from a forum because the software included in the Amazon product was bogus.) Which, believe it or not, actually worked. There are other required functions in order to actually complete the job: resets, clear the various DTC's due to the system being dissembled, and a final reset to clear the brake, abs and vsc dash lights, which I'm not sure the ThinkDiag could accomplish, never made it that far. This seems like a great product for DIY work. Affordable at $135, a great advantage over other products - which there appear to be none. I spent several hours and contacted several vendors trying to find a diagnostic scanner to do this work and it appears there are none, save the several thousand dollar commerical products, or possibly the Harbor Freight scanner at $900. Sorry folks, very enticing but not ready for prime time.

Just what I needed to keep my cars maintained and reduce costs of repair shops. Super easy to set up and use. It works so well on everything from my Audi (VAG) to my Honda.

Let me say that this thing will compete with my Launch x431 SPRO3+ scanner which is around $1200.This is a lot better then the TopDon TopScan as well it does more special functions such as Transmission learning and has a ton of active tests / bi directional controls. This device is however for android users.The 4 in 1 graph or combine does not work with IOS or iPhones at all and is major feature. They mention this is because of copyright features. This means no plotting 4 wheel speed sensors at once for iPhone but for Android it works. This is why a took a star away because they mention that this feature but it doesn't work again for iPhone. But for the price this thing is absolutely amazing I have tried on it couple of weeks so far and the active tests all work for it. The graphing is also ahead of Topscan and allows you to change and look at graphs and 4-1 with recorded data and the TopScan won't allow you to do that and just plays a movie file back of the recording which is very limited. I would recommend this over TopScan because you get some much more functionality and the graphing is awesome. Plus it can do ECM Replace for Honda / Subaru and TopScan Doesn't do that and transmission relearn and keys. The reason for getting this is I bought a Launch x431 Pro3S+ 2 years ago and I can't renew it because they want $524 to renew 5 vehicle makes for 1 year which is crazy and costs 2/3 of the Scan Tool. So I bought this to replace my Launch x431. So far I have compared features of the Thinkdiag 2 to the Launch x431 and this little device can do almost as much as the x431 for a fraction of the price and at the renewal won't be $524 per year. I also got this to work on an Android Tablet even though not recoommended and it is working out so graphs and everything are larger to see. I also like it has a cord so you don't forget it in a car. It the scanner part fits in the door side holder nicely or on top of the steering wheel. I have the Topdon Topscan as well and this thing puts the TopScan to shame in features again such as special functions and the ability to replace ECM on certain models. For the price it just can't be beat and it looks like you can renew for $70 per year which is really good considering the options you get. www.x431tool.com is a way to renew for reasonable price $70. It also appears durable and should hold up. Don't full for the ones with lifetime updates like gearwrench and xtool they won't update plus you dont get key ecu coding or transmission learning. It almost looks like this has the same software as the Launch Scanner as its almost identical in the way it functions. I just wish Launch would make it so you can renew without have to spend ridiculous money. If you are looking for a scanner such as Launch x431 I wouldn't buy for the above reasons. Launch Support is also in China and they don't seem to care about fixing their software or doing anything when you submit feedback I hope for this Thinkdiag 2 its a different experience. You can't lose on this Thinkdiag 2 on the price point.
