- OBD2 Scanner Diagnostic Tool, TOPDON AD900BT Bidirectional Scan Tool with ECU C0ding, 28+ Services, Automotive All Systems Diagnosis Scanner for Car with 2 Years Updates, Active Test

As car prices are getting more outrageous, I'm doing more service to my cars so I can keep them longer. I was at the point where I wanted more than my $100 scanner could do. From watching Youtube videos, I decided I needed a Bi-Directional scanner so I can do more in-depth monitoring of my cars and more complex diagnosing. I watched many videos and saw the name Topdon and started looking at this model. It's a midrange scanner and exceeds what I need know but I know I will grow into it. One thing I wanted was a scanner that did in depth transmission diagnosis. These screen shots are from a 2017 Traverse and wow does it have a lot of modules this scanner can talk too. Another thing I recommend is get used to the menu system as I would find a test and then later not remember where I found it. The screen shots above show the path to get to the features I need. I see long term fuel trim is off a little and I need to investigate that. Maybe the air cleaner is dirty or worse and a rodent may have made a nest in the airbox and is messing up the fuel trim. The blutooth wireless connected quickly with the scanner and worked flawlessly. There is lots more to learn about this and I watched the Topdon Youtube video on the many features which helps me see the power of this unit. This unit feels well put together and not cheaply made. The only thing I see missing is a kickstand in the back to stand the unit up. You will be impressed with this unit.

This scanner is pretty awesome. opened it up and it had a software update to complete which it finished quickly. I plugged it in to my f250 to see how it worked and I was impressed with how quickly the Bluetooth receiver connected to the scanner. It’s a pet peeve of mine when Bluetooth devices don’t connect on the first attempt. The next thing I was impressed with is how many things it can monitor. Must have been hundreds of options from engine hours and number of ignitions, to throttle position and torque. I really only bought it for diagnosing problems but will probably mount it in the truck on long road trips with the trailer to better monitor the trucks performance. Another thing I am excited about is using this before purchasing a used vehicle. I feel like there is no hiding from this thing. Overall I am giving this 5 stars for its user friendly interface, sturdy construction, and it’s capabilities. I will update when I use it to diagnose a problem.

I've been using scanners for almost a decade now so I've used quite a few different brands of tools. Every one has pros and cons but this scanner offered solutions to issues I have with other tools in the past. I think my favorite feature is the storage spot for the Bluetooth dongle in the bottom of the tool. The tool will also remind you to remove the dongle from the car after exiting the diagnostic program. Bluetooth connection is so nice after using multiple tools that have hard wired obd connections for years. The display is crisp and bright and easy to see even outside on sunny days. Another issue I've had previously was screen shots and recording data. Both are as really easy with just the click of an icon on the screen. And the screen recorder saves everything you see on the screen and you can bounce around to different graphs and data pids and keep it all in one recording. This is a great all around tool for professionals or diy. It's the perfect size not too big or small.

I started with the Autel Maxi200 Bluetooth diagnostics tool, and it was serving my needs pretty well for the most part until my Jeep needed both a Cam sensor and Crank Sensor replaced. After researching a bit, the ArtiDiag900BT had the exact service function I needed and a few more useful features that I could see myself using with other projects. I replaced the sensors, then it took less than a minute to perform the sensor relearn. The speed of this machine is insane, it reads the system information in seconds, the UI is very simplistic, easy to learn, and designed well. After browsing through the system menus more, you really learn the advanced capabilities this machine does that’s hidden behind a few safety prompts. It has updates daily for vehicle programs, and the system remains stable with no change to performance or speed swiping through any of the menus. Overall this is a product I would purchase over, and have already began recommending it to all my mechanic friends and family.

Since I've bought this scantool it has helped a lot in quick situations with car manufactures that my oem subaru work computer can not read. The Bluetooth dongle is great and allows me to not have to sit in the car to read any codes or live data that I may otherwise need a wired connection for. It tells you it comes with 2 year free subscription but upon inspection mine actually came with 3 free years so that's even a bigger plus in my book. You can do many manufacture specific functions such as programming keys, tpms monitors and actuate solenoids and other things among those. The only thing it can't do it is key programs for newer cars requiring encrypted codes from the manufacturer. The battery life has been great I've only charged it one time since I received it, and you also get a nice case to store or travel with the scan tool depending on what you do. The Bluetooth dongle goes right into the scanner and the scanner itself isn't too heavy or bulky. I would definately recommend this for anyone looking for an alternative to a big name brand such as snapon

As a mechanic with years of experience I can say with utter confidence that this is the best scanner on the market for the price. I’ve used this scanner daily since it arrived and it does everything I need and MORE. Super user friendly and easy to learn. I’ve used this scanner to diagnose codes, erase codes, reset TPMS, and diagnose and reset ABS lights. Very versatile scanner with so many uses. System has had daily software updates for vehicle programs. I’ve recommended this product to everyone I know!

This is a very good scanner I’ve used others but none give me the read out and a deep search into each component I need to check

Let's get the negative out of the way first...it DOESN'T PROGRAM KEYS... That's the main drawback in my opinion. The other minor gripe is that there is no stand on the tablet. Also, being wireless, you cannot attach a j1850 adapter (as used by harley davidson).That's it. Now as for the rest, it is compact with a great screen, easy to navigate, intuitive menus, and for a wireless Bluetooth, surprisingly fast. Updates load quickly (except for BMW/MINI/ROLLS ROYCE which tool an Incredibly long time) Scans almost any vehicle you're likely to come across and returns data in several forms. Live data is excellent and graphing is sophisticated and easy to combine and compare. If the 3 minor picks don't apply to you then add a star. Good mid level diagnostic tool.
