Just ordered mine. Heard great things 💪

It's always good to have a tool that can get the job done.

Just bought this exact scanner about a week ago. Already paid for itself. Love it.

same.. The dealers said my keys were going to cost $500.. which is just insane to me. I've already made duplicate IMMO keys for three cars now-- so there's a $1500 value- I already doubled my money. It really feels like you're peaking behind the curtain with one of these things-- I've been fixing cars completely blind all my life. lol

Been looking at this one and the d7. Very tempted to get the d8.

That D8 also comes in Bluetooth version that's wireless. I got mine on Amazon on sale with a discount code from one of the repair KZread channels. I paid $547 including taxes for the wired and am excited to see what I can do with this. It also comes with free three years of updates.

Thanks so much for your info👍

Thanks for the information Looking at it for some Hyundai work I do. I have the snap on but seams to not do what I need.

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.

Please use this scan tool more. Several people want to know about this scan tool

That's weird cause I bought the d8 Bluetooth hopefully it's good like you said I'm tired to I can't be working or other diagnostics

I have the xtool d8 bt smart.... Love it.

It'll be interesting to see how you like it long term and compare with ScannerDanners opinion

Nothing will beat the old autel ds708 that thing had every function the factory scanners had.

You're wrong.. the D8 is much better at keys and pulling codes for keys. Also, I'd rather have a topdon phoenix or a thinktool over the autel... Autel is good and it was earlier, but these other brands have caught up, and they're much cheaper.

No scan does everything!

Have you tried to do a regen with this tool. I know you said its bi directional but does it have this feature

They do make a wireless version. Xtool d8bt

i prefer wired, no waiting for the dongle to connect which can be hell on the snap on.

hey flat rate master i am a honda tech and in my dealerships shop i oddly enough couldnt do the OVS when trying to do an evap test with a smoker to see if there was a leakj i had a gas cap open warning on this 2009 crv i wonder why my d8BT model which is all updated but my firends launch could do it when i tried with the xtool it said no response ...idk am i doing it wrong is it because the bluetooth dongle vs the hard cable isnt as good a connection or signal maybe idk if you have had any issues or bug fixes you have had to do just curious

Would it read chrysler transmission codes?

what do you think about topdon phoenix?

Have you tried the tool on a 1995 Pontiac Sunfire/Chevy Cavalier? I have not been able to find a tool that can read them!

That ob1

I bought it thinking that it would work well for my 98 and 2002 Mercedes Benzes, NOPE the only function that works for those cars is through the OBD11 function, every other test fails to read the ECU

Yeah German cars are a nightmare. Not shocked

I have access to an autel scan tool but find it to be very slow, would you consider this to be an upgrade for the most part(other than corded)? Also do you think the wireless model would be slower than the corded model?

Wireless is ALWAYS slower vs corded period! It’s the same with WiFi. Running a CAT6 cable will always trounce a WiFi signal. No way around that. Where wireless shines is portability

How is it holding up man

Your worth it master

There is an xtool D8-bt (blue tooth), that you can get also. I myself got the wired D8, because it's faster and over $100 cheaper. You can just get a 10ft extension cord and still reach everywhere on the car that you need to. Scanner Danner and I talked in the chat about one of the downfalls of the D8, and that is: It's not very responsive with live data--- for example, when I press the accelerator pedal, it takes almost a full second for it to show up on the live data pid.. and the refresh rate is kinda slow also, when graphing things.. Also, as I was graphing the accelerator pid, if I scrolled up or down to look at other pids-- while still pressing the pedal to see if it would continue to track/ graph the data while it was off-screen--- it would sometimes get overloaded and have blank spots on the graph (again, of the accelerator pedal, as I press it over and over randomly). So if you try to multitask too quickly, it struggles to keep up; but otherwise, I love this thing-- it seems to have a lot more bi-directional functions than most other scanners and gives access to the special little details/ options such as turning off your seatbelt buzzer or the auto-locking door as you put it in gear and take off rolling, ect. Which I hadn't seen on other scanners.

@@ahmadghosheh3104 It's slower anyway. I can see the appeal, but an extension cord is not hard to deal with. It's just as easy.... but honestly-- You should skip the D8 and get a Topdon Phoenix $900, or a Thinktool for a little more.. They both have much better graphing abilities.

Can it rewrite a VIN on Dodge PCM?

Nope

I'm hearing a lot of 0 support from the company on this tool, and also the data downloading is slow and it doesn't recognize a lot of vehicles. I think the verdict is still out on this one.

Save your money. Get the launch torque 3(same as max flex) for $1400 and invest in a pick scope and laptop. Still come $2000 cheaper than the 4.0

I prefer the wired . I don’t have to worry about me or someone else leaving the blue tooth doggel in a vehicle

Why does this look like a hostage video? 🤣
