– TOPDON AD800BT2 Car Diagnostic Tool,Lifetime Free Update Obd2 Scanner

Our local garage changed ownership and the quality of service is now pretty poor, so I am doing the maintenance and repair on our cars (Subaru Forester 2.0D and Fiat Panda Twinair). To do this efficiently, I needed a scanner to identify issues and fix problems on our vehicles. I tried a couple of dongle's that work with a downloaded app on your phone (e.g. Torque), but I couldn't get any information from the Subaru. Having satisfied myself that 'you get what you pay for' (the dongle's were about £40 apiece) and reading plenty of reviews, I bought the Topdun 800BT for £299. The item was shipped quickly and safely. I put the unit on charge for an hour, booted it up and linked it to the WiFi and checked for updates. Instructions are clear and easy to follow and it was simple to link the dongle to the hand held unit. With a couple of touches of the screen, the unit identifies the car's VIN, you can then command a 'health check'. It takes a few minutes to check the whole vehicle and then the information is displayed; whether the component is operating well, or if a fault has been logged. When a fault is logged it has fault code. 'Click' on the code and the WiFi linked handset opens a Google search page, describing the fault code, identifying the parts, linking in to parts suppliers and videos showing how to repair the fault - brilliant. The ArtiDiag can also provide real time readouts on all, or selected, components and take a video of the data. This data along with screenshots and diagnostic reports can be emailed to yourself (or a customer)' The unit feels well made and robust and the buttons, touch screen work really well. The dongle slides and locks into the handheld unit, keeping it well protected when not in use and the whole unit comes in a nice, padded, bespoke case. I have only had the 800BT for about 3 weeks and I definitely fall into the 'amateur mechanic' category, but I can see that this tool is going to be really useful. I have identified and repaired 3 faults on one car and one fault on the other. I suspect that this tool is capable of a lot more wizardry that I have utilised at present, but, with my basic use, I couldn't be more chuffed with it.

Got tired of garages asking me fortunes to fix my cars, so i went ahed and ordered the TopDon800BT from Amazon. Product arrived very quick, in a quality package and i got straight to business. Straight away i managed with the help of the TopDon800BT to pinpoint an issue i had on my Volvo S80. Last garage i went with the Volvo told me i need a new engine, car has 90k miles on the clock. It was a lambda sensor that was shot, ordered the part and changed myself in 5min, car runs like new. This scanner has also the option of testing and programing each individual part, from sensors to injectors etc. I am really impresed with this product and wish i knew of it before spending fortunes with shady garages. You get daily updates, it also searches the internet for the error code you have on the car, providing solutions, amazing! I helped couple of my friends with the TopDon800Bt and fixed some complex issues they had on the cars. It's an awesome product, really easy to use, I can recommend it to any one who wants to save money and time with diagnosing and fixing the cars. 10++

I have been using the TOPDON Arti800 BT Scanner for over a week now and has been a pleasure to use. The Device fits very nicely in the palm of the hand and is a good size. The Colour Display is Clear and bright and Touch screen is good maybe a bit too sensitive at times I found. I liked how neatly the Bluetooth Dongle stows away into the bottom of the Device. Connecting to a vehicle was easy I plugged the Dongle into the OBD socket, and the LED lights up showing connection to the Vehicle and then flashes when there is communication between scanner and dongle. This then powered on the Device and went into Scan VIN Number and within a minute automatically found my Vehicle and I was able to read the codes from the Vehicle. The Health Check scan is a good option as it scans all the modules from in the Vehicle and gives a Preview of faults stored. Also, modules can individually be selected if you want to Quickly Read a Fault Code. There is also an option for live Data View but not used it much yet. Another Good Feature was There is an inbuilt Library Which shows Fault Code Descriptions and gives an overview of the Fault Codes. The Case Supplied is neat and has a Carry handle and nice little compartments to Store the Scanner and the Charging plug which also comes with different country adapters too. The Battery Life seems good and System Boots up Quickly too. What I did find is When Doing a VIN read it did not pick up a 2003 and 2007 Vehicle automatically but was fine on a 2011 Vehicle. but it’s not a problem as you select the Make and Model separately and are able to Scan codes that way. One thing to note is that when you first set up the device for the first time, you require to connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi. This is for updating the database and turned off if need be.

Great piece of high spec kit. This is the second piece I have bought from TOPDON and they are fantastic. Comes with a hardshell case to keep it safe in your van. Huge number of features for pretty much every make of vehicle. Used so far on vw, vauxhall and Ford vehicles. To make things even better when you're bored you can use it to surf the Web and watch YouTube. The amount of functions and depth of diagnosis are what you would expect to find on a much more expensive machine. Went so deep into the ecu system that it could even diagnose a faulty USB connection and issues with the climate control. Very impressed with the build quality and features. A good solid handheld screen gives clear information and easy diagnosis of electrical faults. If I was to be picky at all I would say that the only feature missing is the ability to access the hidden features of a car like with VCDS but that would be being picky. Great kit at a great price, topdon are definitely aiming high.

Good quality and quick arrival. Used it on the first day and it performed as it should.

The Topdon ArtiDiag800BT OBD2 Scanner is the best value for money. Its bluetooth so no cables involved makes it very easy to take with you around the whole vehicle without being limited to juast in the vehicle if it was cable. The Bluetooth works great no issues. The device is perfect size not too little not too big just right. Its also a tablet running android so you can go on the internet and youtube and has a speaker for sound. It has alot of features for the vehicle and can program some keys for certain model most I tried it on a 2008 peugeot 207 and it worked it programmed my new key to start the vehicle. Also it has lifetime updates for free never have to pay a cent unlike other scantools they give you free updates for a little while then you will have to pay but not Topdon ArtiDiag800BT its free updates. I don't think any other brand do that but Topdon does. The Scantool I Recommend for anybody from beginner to Professional either if you are a mechanic or not a mechanic you will be happy with The Topdon ArtiDiag800BT OBD2 Scanner. I give it a 5 star rating 10 out of 10 its Number 1 the best

Where to start on the AD800BT... in 2 weeks of having this device it has saved me a fortune in garage repairs and diagnosing. I have two vehicles, a vw Passat tdi and c250 Mercedes. The AD800BT has told me why my Passat has had problems starting in a morning showing glow plug cylinder 2 is faulty and the crank-shaft position sensor is faulty.. none of these faults have caused the engine management light to come on, so it’s been a massive help .. it’s cleared my air bag light & service light - helped me to wind back the electric parking brake so i could change the rear discs and pads and also coded the new battery .. it’s picked a faulty water pump up on my c250, so its essentially saved me more money then what I paid for the diagnostics machine in garage costs. it’s a fantastic bit of kit for the money .. Thank you TopDon !!!

Very disappointed. I purchased this back in 2024 in case I needed it for car repair, I haven’t had the need to use it until recently. My car is an Infiniti q30, basically a cross between Nissan, Mercedes & Renault and was manufactured in the UK. I had to change an injector which is straightforward enough but it needs to be recoded to the ECU, a facility that’s available on this machine. However, it won’t allow me to do this task. What I found is the machine is only capable of performing basic tasks, it won’t allow anything (such as recoding) to be carried out on my car, it comes up with an error message. I got in touch with TopDon and they don’t have a definitive answer apart from the software isn’t compatible ‘at the moment’. They did say however, that I should be thankful I get lifetime updates for free. That’s all well & good but not much use to me. Worryingly, it has my car & model listed on the device (it recognises it), but it doesn’t do anything apart from basic tasks. So, effectively, I’ve got a glorified code reader, looks great but that’s about it. Be careful.

للأسف الجهاز مستعمل وغير جديد والتاجر لم يوضح ذلك عند عرض السلعة و جاري تجربة الجهاز بكل تفاصيله ولكن مبدئيا الجهاز ممتاز وعملي

En tant que passionné de mécanique automobile, je recherchais un outil fiable et polyvalent pour diagnostiquer les problèmes éventuels de mon véhicule, et je dois dire que cette valise a dépassé toutes mes attentes. En quelques minutes seulement, j'ai pu la connecter à mon véhicule et commencer à explorer ses nombreuses fonctionnalités. La compatibilité avec une large gamme de marques et de modèles de voitures en fait un outil extrêmement polyvalent, adapté à tous les besoins. La qualité de construction est également remarquable. La valise est robuste et semble capable de résister à une utilisation intensive. De plus, son interface conviviale et intuitive en fait un véritable plaisir à utiliser, même pour les novices en mécanique. En résumé, je recommande vivement la valise Artidiag800BT à tous les passionnés de mécanique automobile. Son rapport qualité-prix imbattable et ses performances exceptionnelles en font un investissement judicieux pour quiconque souhaite entretenir son véhicule avec précision et efficacité.

Arrivato ben imballato ho apprezzato la valigetta di dimensioni contenute che permette lo stivaggio in baulieta come dotazione di bordo. Come apparecchi diagnostico è completo e fa molte più funzioni che un hobbista può richiedere. Non ha i test attivi ma ritengo sia utili solo in un officina vera e propria mentre trovo determinante il fatto di avere gli aggiornamenti a vita che su altri prodotti sono limitati a 2 anni ed il rinnovo costa quasi come l'apparecchio. Già utilizzato si auto usata appena comprata per fare check ecc ed è stato tutto semplice, chiaramente va usato con cognizione di causa per non fare "danni"

Tenia ya un lector de codigos par ael coche, pero era especifico de BMW/Mini, asi que compre este para tener algo mejor y poder mirar mas coches, como VW y demas. Es una pasada, lee los errores y te enlaza con videos y documentos de como arreglarlos, ademas la informacion es muy facil de seguir y extensa, se actualiza solo y funciona rapidisimo, de momento muy contento con la compra.

Ich hatte mehrere Diagnosegeräte zum testen bestellt. Schlussendlich überzeugte mich das ArtiDiag 800BT. Der Grund ist ganz einfach! Dieses Gerät schaffte es an allen drei Versuchsfahrzeugen alle Steuergeräte zu erfassen. Der Bericht den man sich per E-Mail senden kann ist in Ordnung. Dieser könnte etwas übersichtlicher gestaltet sein aber dafür ziehe Ich keinen Stern ab da alle Informationen am Ausdruck zu finden sind. Der Steckplatz für den BT Dngle ist super gelöst. So wird dieser normalerweise nicht vergessen und ist optimal geschützt und verstaut. Hier könnte der Hersteller noch eine Kontrollfunktion einbauen damit für ganz schlampige der dongle garantiert nicht vergessen wird. Beim Beenden der Diagnose wird aber stets mit einem Hinweis und einem lauten Ton darauf hingewiesen. Das beigelegte Ladegerät wird mit EU und US-stecker ausgeliefert. Dies ist ein herkömmliches 5 Volt 1,5 Ampere USB Ladegerät. Die beigelegte Tasche ist formschön und schützt das Diagnosegerät bestens vor Dreck und Staub. Die Menüführung ist intuitiv und leicht zu verstehen. Manche Worte sind falsch ins Deutsche übersetzt, dies ist aber kein Problem da es lediglich minimale Übersetzungsfehler sind. Das Display ist ausreichend hell genug um auch bei Sonnenlicht was zu erkennen und der Touchscreen spricht genau und ordentlich an. Die Ein- und Ausschalttaste bietet ordentlich haptik und funktioniert tadellos. Das Gerät selbst liegt sehr gut in der Hand und die rutschfeste Oberfläche fühlt sich auch hochwertig an. Man muss sich nicht jedes Fahrzeug runterladen um etwas Speicherplatz zu sparen der aber am 32 Gigabyte Gerät ausreichend dimensioniert ist. Die wichtigsten Fahrzeuge hier in Europa sind vollständig und die Software scheint gut zu sein. Dies bin ich aber weiterhin am testen und gebe gegebenenfalls später erneute Rückmeldung. Das Lifetime Update hört sich auch gut an und somit kann dieses Gerät viele viele Jahre ohne weitere Kosten verwendet werden. Dieses Gerät ist nur gedacht um das Fahrzeug auszulesen aber keine Programmierarbeiten durchzuführen. Was ich hier aber anregen möchte, ist einen Turbotest einzubauen. Es sollte das Westgate oder VTG Steuergerät angesteuert werden können, oder weitere Aktuatoren anzusteuern um diese zu prüfen. Die FIN Nummer erkennt das Diagnosegerät an allen drei Fahrzeugen problemlos. Beim Gebrauchtwagenkauf ist ein Diagnosegerät der Hit um den Preis zu drücken und um zu sehen was mit dem Fahrzeug so passiert ist. So bekommt der Käufer einen Überblick über anstehende Reparaturen oder im Fehlerspeicher abgelegte Fehlercodes in Klartext. Und sollte man auch nur einen groben Fehler vor dem Kauf finden hat sich dieses Diagnosegerät bereits bezahlt gemacht. Alles in allem finde ich dieses Gerät Top! Geräte oberhalb von 1000 € können nur minimal mehr als dieses. Ich finde der Hersteller macht ordentlich Druck auf die teuren Geräte und zeigt mit diesem Diagnosegerät dass es auch für kleines Geld ein sehr gutes Diagnosegerät gibt das mit den großen mithält und sich nicht verstecken muss! Ich würde es wieder kaufen und kann es jedem empfehlen.
