Keep this in mind. This is a professional level type of tool. I honestly was not prepared with how much you can accomplish with this tool. I was expecting a simple, plug it it, turn it on and it just tells you "fix this and your good to go". Yah, this didn't work out that way. I had to practically spend a few hours reading tutorials, learning how to get around the system and understand what I can and can't do and more importantly, what I should and shouldn't use it for.Let me be frank with, if you're an car enthusiast and want to get your hands dirty and save some dollars skipping the dealer then you'll be very happy owning this tool. If you are the type of guy who's on the fence about changing his own oil or feeling brave about doing a transmission flush. You might want to consider doing your research first.This tool is capable of so much that in the right hands it can help you win the wallet wars against the dealerships. However, having free reign over your vehicles computer can give your dealership the edge if you start tinkering around with things you are not comfortable with. Keep this in mind.I've used it to successfully reprogram keys for some of my friends and I carry it with me in my car everywhere I go. The device is capable of receiving updates over wifi and it seems like every day there's an update coming down the pipeline so I know it's actively supported. The user interface takes a little getting used two as functions available to your vehicle can exist in different pathwaays within the user interface. Thankfully it's linear enough that you can't too lost in the system.I recently purchased a second hand vehicle and this scanner was able to tell me what problems the vehicle had (as well as which error codes were previously flagged and since cleared from the computer so it was nice to see that even though no codes were present immediately after scanning, I could seee that it did have prior codes. The accuracy was spot on as it did inform me that three of the four TPMS sensors had died.Finally, the tool does it's best to walk you through each step of the process so it tries its best to hold your hand but don't be fooled. This thing will hold your hand and and walk you through each and every step of walking off of a cliff if you ask it to. I highly advise anyone considering such a product to understand what they are attempting to do and not just go blindly poking around functions and programming.

I purchased the Xtool D8W Scan Tool for my personal use. I am a DIY kind of guy. I service and repair everything that I can. I not only work on my own vehicles, but I also work on them for family and friends. I am not a mechanic by profession but I have been working on vehicles since I was 16. Now 52. I have had a few cheap OBD2 code readers that helped some. But they are very limited. I did a lot of research before choosing the Xtool D8W. I considered a few other brands but kept coming back to this one. My initial reason for buying this is so that I can read transmission temps on newer vehicles to service them myself. Along with many other features. I can read many other trouble codes including but not limited to TPMS, ABS, HVAC, Engine, trans, ECM, BCM, TCS, and so much more. I have already used the D8W on Toyota, Scion, Honda, Subaru, Jeep, and Hyundai. I found codes that I would not have known about without this scan tool. I have been able to reset and repair more because of this tool. I have also programmed keys and key fobs for a few vehicles. I was able to disable my seatbelt chime. I ALWAYS wear a seatbelt and my passengers must also. But when I would leave something on the passenger seat with a little weight, the chime would drive me crazy. I still have the dash warning but not the annoying sound that won’t stop. I have had to contact Xtool on a few occasions for help. They are AWESOME to deal with and respond quickly. They have even followed up to make sure that everything worked out and see if they can help with anything else. I would recommend the D8W to anyone that works on vehicles, whether a DIY’er like myself or a professional mechanic. You will not be disappointed. I depend a lot on reviews but I rarely leave them myself. I believe that this tool deserves a great review.A few other things that persuaded my choice:Price was cheaper than other comparable brands/models.It comes with 3 years of updates included. Other brands are only 1 or 2. Also, when the 3 years are up, Xtool is much cheaper for annual updates than the other companies.It is totally wireless, except for charging. You don’t have to stay in the vehicle to use it.It’s bidirectional meaning that you can do tests and make changes to your vehicle that only a dealer could normally do.Now for the cons: I have yet to find any.I am a very happy customer.
