Have any of you guys used any of their products, like scanners and battery testers?
Some of their products look vey reasonably priced for home/occasional use.

We’ve got a phoenix pro good machine, as said already, runs on launch software, thinktool does as well istr I was looking into/at the Topdon Phoenix Max - when my Launch was up for software renewal. But I stood back from the purchase and just updated my Launch for another two years (£918 2yr update cheaper of the two evils). I think if I was to buy into another scanner it would be a Topdon one. givusaclue - I thought you were into Autel stuff or am I mistaken...? For the record: I been very pleased with my Launch EuroTabPro. I not found too many things it won't do over the three years I had it - the thing is updating nearly everytime you switch it on. |

I keep falling back onto my Autel MS908 Pro, even though it is madly out-of-date now; effectively only covers up to 2015 for most things.
Case in point : I needed to program-out the Daylight Running Lamps on the new P2 Volvo this evening (14 bulbs all blowing every time you hit a pothole.... not good) and the Autocom CDP+ (fully up-to-date) could not do this. I couldn't believe it, as it's supposed to be the mutt's nuts for Volvo (Swedish software team). Autel just does this in its stride, straight into the Central Electrical Module, it's all there......
So I'm thinking long and hard about the direction on the scantools again.....  |

Forscan is good as well - you can do allot with a licenced version. |

I don't so much pass thru stuff - not used it many times in the time I have geared myself up for it. the Osca kind of does passthru albeit like a teamviewer idea with them doing the business & us joeying cycling the ignition etc. both of the Autels have 2534's so i could in theory do that, but never have. need a sptty faced kid to show me how to set that up properly to have enough confidence in using it |
