XTOOL D7W, FIRST Scan Tool With WiFi VCI

https://youtu.be/54JuHonWrEM

BRAND NEW ITEM. Just in time for Black Friday deals. Must see even if you don’t buy.

The XTOOL D7W is the FIRST affordable scan tool to use a WiFi VCI instead of Bluetooth. This means the wireless connection between the vehicle and the scan tool is utilizing WiFi technology instead of Bluetooth technology. Which, to me, is a really big deal! WiFi is light years ahead of Bluetooth in terms of speed, bandwidth, and wireless range. In this video I do a range test and I get very impressive results. I will probably do another video in the near future to determine maximum distance of the WiFi VCI but I ran out of room in this video and I still had a rock solid wireless connection between the scan tool and the VCI. (plugged into my vehicle) The new D7W is the wireless version of the D7S. Both are brand new models from XTOOL and they are both excellent scan tools. Okay, sure, there are SOME other scan tools in this world that DO use WiFi….. but those are few and far ultra high end tools that cost thousands of dollars. This tool is the first AFFORDABLE full bidirectional control scan tool that the majority of people can actually buy. In my opinion this is one of the biggest advancements in the entire scan tool industry since scan tools became Android based. I suspect all other scan tool manufacturers will be scrambling to design their own WiFi VCIs now that XTOOL has released this new D7W. This WILL become the new standard for all scan tools, eventually… If you’ve been looking at new scan tools, this one is definitely worth taking a second look at. The D7 series of scan tools has always had excellent value (maybe the best value of all scan tools) when you consider their overall functionality VS price….. and now with a WiFi VCI, it’s an even better value.

Thanks for watching.

Autel MV108 & BT506 Scan Tool Accessories Demonstration, How To & Review

https://youtu.be/pEMFZrv9gD4

In this video I show hot to use two different Autel scan tool accessories. The first one is the Autel MV108S video inspection camera (scope) along with the MaxiVideo app. The second demonstration is the Autel BT506 Bluetooth battery tester along with the battery tester app. I am using the all new Autel MP900Z-BT scan tool to demonstrate both of these accessories. The scan tool model is only about 1-2 months old at the time when his video was recorded. Both of these Autel accessories work very well and they would make for a great addition to anyone’s set of diagnostic tools.

XTOOL D7S ALL NEW Bidirectional Scan Tool. Upgraded D7

XTOOL D7S ALL NEW Scan Tool

https://youtu.be/5hlEVLyWNvo

In this video we look at the all new XTOOL D7S OBDII bidirectional scan tool. The original D7 is an excellent diagnostic scan tool already but they made it even better with this new D7S. Things like a larger battery, a rear camera with flash, collapsible kickstand, more storage, etc…. along with the new graphical user interface (the part the user sees and interacts with) gives the new D7S a whole new look and feel. The D7 has always been highly regarded in the scan tool world for having full bidirectional software that is full of features and functions for a very affordable price. It’s hard to find any other scan tool that has more features and functions for a lower price. The D7 has been in the “sweet spot” of scan tools for several years at this point already, and now the new D7S moves into the “sweet spot”.

Thanks for stopping by.

OTOFIX Comparison D1 Pro VS D1 Lite OBDII Diagnostic Bidirectinal Best Scan Tools

Otofix Comparison D1 Pro VS D1 Lite. OBD Diagnostic bidirectinal scan tools.

https://youtu.be/X5wDsdV4H3U

This is a comparison video to show the differences between the OTOFIX D1 Pro, and the D1 Lite diagnostic scan tools. Both of these scanners have full bidirection control and full live data on all modules in most vehicles. The D1 PRO scan tool does have a few more software capabilities than the D1 Lite but most of those are extras are for makes/models that are not sold in the USA, with the exception being Audi and Volkswagen vehicles. However, the D1 PRO has a larger screen, bigger/faster processor, double the RAM, and double the storage, a much larger battery, etc, etc. Overall, the physical hardware of the D1 PRO makes the tool feel much snappier and quicker than the D1 Lite (and the Autel 808 series) and it gives a much better overall user experience. Both of these scan tool are capable both capable of doing the same work 99% of time but the D1 PRO is much faster a nicer to use. The one notable difference that I have personally noticed, and I showed in this videos, is the speed of the full system scan. The D1 Pro scan speed is absolutely incredible. Be sure to watch my demonstration in this video. I’m sure you’ll be surprised, too!

Thanks!
