XTOOL A30M OBD2 Scanner Bluetooth, Car Diagnostic Tool with 26+ Reset, Bi-Directional with All System Diagnostic Scanner, DPF Regeneration Tool for Android & iOS, Lifetime Free Update, FCA/CANFD

I was genuinely impressed by how much this scanner can do right from plugging it into my car’s OBD-II port and pairing via Bluetooth with my phone, it offered a full, OE-level diagnostic scan across every system: engine, transmission, ABS, airbag, and more. Live-data readings, freeze-frame reports and trouble-code history give a clear, in-depth picture of vehicle health, which helped me catch a minor electrical fault before it became serious. The 26 + reset and service functions from oil-reset to EPB, DPF regeneration, injector coding and battery management are often only available with expensive dealer tools, yet this A30M offers them all with no subscription fees. The wireless Bluetooth connection is rock-solid up to around 10 m, making it easy to keep my phone handy while working under the bonnet. The dedicated app is surprisingly user-friendly, with a clean interface for auto-scanning or manual diagnostics, and it supports a wide range of brands and models (incl. newer CAN-FD & FCA/Ford-Chrysler vehicles). A big plus: lifetime free updates so the tool should stay relevant even as vehicles get newer. The compact form factor makes it easy to store in the glove box or trunk, yet the build feels rugged enough for frequent use. I’ve now used it on multiple cars and saved time and money by diagnosing myself instead of going to a mechanic. If I had one small gripe, it’s that some of the advanced reset functions may not work on every single make/model — so you might need to check compatibility with your VIN first. But that said, performance, reliability, and overall value make this a top-tier diagnostic tool for any car owner or DIYer. Highly recommended it’s basically like having a mini-garage diagnostic setup in your pocket.

Fantastic Device UK based car flipper. Do not waste your money on sub par cheap devices or extreme dealer level OBD kit you will not be able to use. This device hits the sweet spot. Full summary, tips and setup guide below. Pros: - Fast, Portable, easy to use - Lifetime free updates - Excellent aftersales support - Accurate and powerful - phenomenally low price even at full msrp Cons. - None as of yet or foreseen, will update as usage continues Summary: Forget the cheaper ballpark £30-80 OBD devices and just get this. Having access to dealer level obd equipment and snap on/autel devices that are £500-£2k the Anyscan A30-M is unbeatable value for money even at twice its price. It has a huge range of compatibility, has enough special functions to keep a seasoned mechanic happy and is simple to learn and operate for a new user. A cheaper device will only read basic codes, the expensive ones will cost you more per year in updates than the purchase price of this. Upon first use we used the device to wipe 8 error codes from one vehicle after a new engine fit, reset an airbag light, diagnose a faulty window regulator, faulty abs sensor and provide live data to analyse an issue on another purchase. It has carried out any function we have required from it. Live data can be recorded and saved to file format for review by another party if required. Tips: - Install the app on an old android tablet with shock case for a dedicated professional look device. - Allow 10GB minimum for app and all updates - If it cannot find vehicle VIN find your year and engine number and it will connect - If these devices are new to you, spend a few hours playing around with it and hitting play/pause on an instructional to learn how to really get the most out of it. -Ensure it is the A30M you purchase as the A30 and A30D are not as powerful. Setup: 1) Get chosen device, download/install anyscan app by Xtool on playstore. 2)Open app and register your A30M via serial number on device rear. 3) Hit the update icon in the app and download packages from your chosen manufacturers. 4) With engine and ignition off insert A30M into your vehicles OBD port, a red light will show. 5) Ensure Bluetooth is turned on your phone/tablet, start the ignition and pair with the A30M. A blue light will now also show. 6) Tap on the app to Autoscan/diagnose the vehicle and begin. A green communication light will now also show on device. If VIN reading fails, use the year and engine model method above to connect. I hope this was helpful. If this doesn't save you money from unnecessary garage work you must drive a 2CV!

I really couldn't recommend this highly enough. It's a very powerful scan tool and it can do so much. Apparently it also has continuous support and free updates. Of course If you're not aware this is a Bluetooth interface device and you'll need to use your smartphone with the xtool app. It's probably slower than the dedicated tool but to me as a non professional user that's no issue. I got it on offer around £90 which was a steal in my opinion. Of course you can get very basic OBD2 readers for around twenty quid but they only read codes and reset errors. This scan tool is bidirectional, meaning you can communicate with the cars ECUs and send signals to activate things like locks or electric windows which is useful for diagnosing issues and narrowing down if it's a switch or wiring or ECU fault. If you're on the fence about it, id just get it.

It works at it says. The mobile app could be better but it is good enough for me and you can save diagnostics reports, then you can convert to PDF or print them. I would like it more if it had a computer software or application that could work with the gadget. I gave 5 star since it is a competent gadget considering the size and price tag, also there's no subscription fee for updating the app. Some other manufacturers charge subscription fee for using their apps or software which is not fair for this level of diagnostics tools. I couldn't find a better scanner in this range, and it's somehow better than other more pricy ones!

Perfect for diy jobs especially with those 26 special functions. The downside to this gadget is it comes with 100 updates to download wich takes few hours and I had to download benz software one's I plugged it in the car. You can save 20 pounds on ebay.

I'm very impressed with this A30M diagnostic device from Xtool. I'm going to keep it in the car for emergency use and we'll as regular diagnostic checkups on my own car and friends/family cars. I've owned cheaper USB diagnostic devices in the past, but this is in a different league: 🟢 Helped find the fault to allow an easy fix on a reoccurring airbag problem 🟢 Loads of diagnostic and service options that simply aren't available on other brands at a similar price 🟢 Has some bi-directional capabilities to test components 🟢 Made of metal and feels well made and sturdy 🟢 Had lots of regular firmware updates 🟢 Super easy to use and fast app - no lags 🟢 Works on any modern android and iphones 🟢 Fast reply to support email questions 🟡 I can't access the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) maintenence mode on a Ford Mondeo 2017. Emailed support and hoping for a future firmware upgrade 🟡 Android app not available on the play store at the time of this review, but available on the website or via the support email addresses (replied in mins to my questions 👍🏻) 🔴 None!

Excellent item, I did not realise that you could do so much with a bluetooth OBD reader it has saved me a fortune, so far I have found a problem with my sons can with the throttle body and was then able to look up possible solutions, first thing I tried was to remove it and clean it, result engine management light out and hasn’t came back on again, no more limp mode, More recently my ABS and traction control light came on, use this to diagnose the rear left speed sensor, then using live data could see that the sensor wasn’t picking up a signal and needed a new wheel baring so that the ring was replaced, saved me hundreds and all done myself, and I’m no Machanic, all from the help of this cleaver device and YouTube, would highly recommend, before I purchased I contacted them to make sure my car was compatible (which it was) and they even messaged me after I Purchased it to see if it helped me, great service, loads of other features that I havnt used as yet
