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.

The only reason why I am rating this product 4 stars instead of 5 is the speed of process. The interface is good and cover many features including some of the hidden ones, making this tool very useful however, the speed of process is too slow for my judgements even with the latest phones.

I was torn between 3 and 4 stars, this device is a great budget option for newer cars. That said it does not support older OBDII systems. My 98 Jeep would not connect, where my Cheap 5 ELM 327 and Torque would. That said, it has many nice features for the newer cars like adaptive learning, controlling ECU body controls, EVAP TEst etc.... That is the Good....The interface is rough, hard to find actuation test and diagnostic relearns. Hopefully they will improve the interface. if not I will sell my unit and invest in Xtool ....
