Today we look a the XTOOL D7 Diagnostic OBDII Bidirectional Control Scan Tool. In this review I look at the functions, capabilities and the overall hardware of the D7. This tool is very similar ti it’s big brother, the D8 except it’s one inch smaller, has a smaller batter, no rear camera, and no rear kickstand. This tool has almost the same functionality of the D8, except it does not perform eeprom/ecu coding. The D7 advertises 28 special functions and has many bidirectional capabilities along with live data on all modules. It comes with a carrying case, battery charger, data cable and wired VCI.. This scan tool has a LOT of capabilities for the money.
XTOOL D8 Diagnostic OBDII Scan Tool, NEW! –
Today we take a look at the XTOOL Diagnostic OBD2 scan tool. This is a new model from XTOOL and it offers full bidirectional control, and full live data on all vehicle modules, along with 31 Special service functions. This Scan tool includes 3 year free updates, a large battery to provide long life, an 8 inch screen, carrying case, power brick and OBDII data cable with a wired VCI. This is a very capable scan tool! See the video above for more information.
Least Expensive Bi Directional Scan Tool with ABS Auto Bleed and MUCH more Xtool A30 Pro
This XTOOL A30 PRO scan tool might just be the cheapest, most affordable bi-directional scan tool available on the market today. Not only does it include ABS automated bleed (Auto bleed) but it is also a full function diagnostic scan tool with full bi-directional control AND live data on all vehicle modules and systems. This Scan tool is extremely affordable (low cost) compared to the other full bi-directional control scan tools on the market today. The XTOOL A30 PRO scan tool is wireless Bluetooth between the VCI (OBDII port) and the scan tool itself. It has built in WIFI to make one click updates super simple and easy. The scan tool has both a touchscreen, and physical buttons in case your fingers are too greasy to operate the on-screen buttons. The device itself carries a 2 year warranty. And the best part is FREE LIFETIME UPDATES. That last part is huge. I can’t think of any other scan tool in the US that has full bi-directional control with free lifetime updates. This product could very possibly change the entire scan tool industry, like the Maxicheck Pro did 3 years ago with it’s auto bleed capability when no other low priced scanner offered that capability. This new Xtool A30 Pro might set the precedent for lower priced bi-directional control scan tools, and/or do away with annual update fees. But in the meantime, this scan tool would be hard to ignore for someone looking for bi-directional control in a low priced device.
Auto Bleed ABS Brakes With Your Smartphone – Autel AP200C Scan / Service Tool
The Autel AP200C is a OBDII dongle based device and is designed to be used with your smartphone (Android or Apple). This is the ONLY OBDII dongle system/software that I have found that will allow you to auto bleed ABS brakes. In fact, I believe at the time of this video, this is the only smartphone/dongle system that will allow ANY form of bi-directional control at all. Up to this point, all these OBDII dongle systems available on the internet only display codes and live data, with no bi-directional control offered. This device is also a standard code reader with live data and will reset / clear check engine lights. The Autel AP200C along with the MaxiAP200 smartphone app is a complete code reader and scan tool with ABS Auto Bleed, Airbag Resets, Oil, Throttle, DPF, EPB, SAS, BMS Services, ABS/SRS capability.

New ABS auto bleed device Autel AP200C
I did a video about auto bleeding ABS brakes with an affordable scan tool back in February of 2018. (link below) At that time it was the cheapest option for auto bleeding with a scan tool. Now, almost three years later, I have discovered this new device which makes it even more affordable, and even more convenient as it’s used with your cell phone instead of another stand alone device.

Kittyhok Wireless Security Camera Giveaway and Review
WIN A FREE WIRELESS CAMERA
I review the Kittyhok 100% wireless battery operated security camera. I then explain how you can win one of these new cameras from my YouTube channel by entering the drawing. Giveaway details are near the end of the video.
The camera seems well made and was VERY easy to setup on my home network. I had the app installed on my Android smart phone, and the camera connected to my wireless router, with everything working perfectly in under 10 minutes.
These cameras remind me of the Arlo camera system that I have installed on my house. This camera has something that the Arlos do not, and that is PIR motion detection.
If I was in the market for new wireless security cameras, I would seriously consider the Kittyhok.
