In this video I review the OTOFIX D1 Pro OBDII diagnostic scan tool. This bidirectional scan tool is a step up from the Autel 808 (or OTOFIX D1 Lite) series of scan tools. It has a larger screen, bigger and faster processor, newer Android operating system, faster Wifi, double the RAM and storage, larger battery, and it even has a few more features and functions. This automotive scanner is terrific! It’s an OTOFIX branded tool that is made and sold by Autel, and it runs on Autel software. The OTOFIX line of tools is an excellent and affordable way to get access to Autel software, AND you get those software updates free for TWO years, instead of only one year. If you’re in the market for a new scan tool, the OTOFIX line of scan tools should be near the top of anyone’s consideration list…. especially the D1 Pro as shown in this video. It’s a REALLY good solid scan tool. Be sure to check it out!
The OTOFIX BT1 Lite Smart Battery tester is powered by Autel. In fact, the OTOFIX company is owned by Autel and uses all Autel software and firmware. This device is designed to be used along with an OTOFIX OBD2 scan tool, or you can download the Autel battery tester app and use this battery tester along with your smart device. (phone or tablet) The Autel version of this same product is called the Autel BT506. In this video, I give a demonstration of how to use this device. The Autel battery software generates a nice test report that can be saved via PDF format and then it can be shared via email, or with a QR code via cloud service. (no charge) The battery report can also be printed directly from you scan tool or smart phone if you have wireless printing setup on your local network.
(Spoiler alert: The OTOFIX version of this battery tester is MUCH cheaper than the same battery tester in the Autel version…. at least it was at the time this video was uploaded)
The OTOFIX D1 Lite OBDII bidirectional scan tool is powered by Autel. In fact, the OTOFIX brand is owned and sold by Autel/ The scan tool uses 100% Autel diagnostic software. This D1 Lite works and looks just like an Autel 808 scanner, but the hardware is slimmer and lighter weight. Not only do you get the Autel scan tool software in this device, but you get it at a cheaper price than buying it in an Autel device. You also get 2 years of free Autel updates (instead of one year if you buy an Autel scan tool) and the once the free update period update has ended, the updates themselves are cheaper than if this was an Autel scan tool. You get 100% Autel software and service but at a lower price. There really is no negatives to buying an OTOFIX device over an Autel device, but there are many positives. As mention in this video, until recently, I would tell people about a different brand/model of scan tool that was in the “sweet spot” for scan tools when comparing price vs overall functionality. Well, in my opinion, this OTOFIX D1 Lite has just taken over that “sweet spot”. This device is REALLY hard to beat.
I also quickly covered the OTOFIX BT1 Lite smart battery tester in this video. That device is designed to be used along with this scan tool but it will also work with Autel branded scan tools, AND it will also work with you smartphone once the app is downloaded form the App store. I made a separate video about smart battery tester.
