    I ran across your video while researching this scan tool. Nicely presented, none of the ott bs I've seen on so many other YT channels. I've used multiple makes of scantool at work & am looking for something for myself, this tool looks like a good balance. As far as I can work out It doesn't program ECU's but it does extract pin numbers & give the ability to delve deeper into the coding/settings than other tools that cost more. Key programming with the optional add-ons is a plus too. I'm going to give one a go.

    I got a D7 just for one car Opel Tigra Twintop/ Corsa C 2005 (Z14XEP Ecotec engine), which a) won't run -- just fires and cuts out, and b) didn't show any codes by pedal test or 50€ reader. Plugged D7 in hoping for some codes, but still apparently there's nothing wrong with the car!! New fuel pump & filter 50psi on fuel rail, new crank and cam sensors, new oil pressure sensor, removed throttle body and cleaned behind butterfly, cleaned maf..., Now am going to buy cable extension to work under bonnet to check for spark, actuating coils. Meanwhile thanks a lot for this video. Loved your delight.

    The two pin European plug is, I believe, the same as a UK shaver socket? I`m old school and still have an adaptor that plugs into a regular UK three pin socket!

    They are slightly different, the EU plug pins are wider apart than our shaving plugs.

    I purchased the Xtool D8 several months ago, but just started to use it more and found while looking at freeze frame data from a 2013 Nissan Frontier, there are PIDs with data displayed that are named Option 1, Option 2 thru Option 8. Not sure what these PIDs are for so I contacted the Xtool help email and after an exhausting 4 days back and forth they say they are not sure to contact S4 Shop. This is really messed up when the Manufacturer dosent know about their own product. Buyer beware.

    Excellent video, however you said that the D 8 comes with free updates while that's true it's only for 3 years, and after that you have to pay. I think it's something worth noting for the viewers.

    It supports Subaru as a brand and supports vehicles back to 2004. you might want to drop them an email with your VIN code and they will confirm for sure that your car is supported
