TOPDON Car Diagnostic Tool ArtiDiag900 Lite with BiDirectional Scan, FCA Gateway and CAN-FD, Full Systems Diagnosis with 8+ Reset Services, Wireless Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, AutoVIN, 2-Year Free Update

I got this as a replacement for a soon to be obsolete Snap On scanner. I think this Artidiag900 Lite is a great piece of kit for the cost. It has features that are normally only found on the top tier VCIs. The comprehensive list of technical service bulletins taken from the original vehicle manufacturers is extremely handy, and has already provided some information that prevented me from making a repair using a part that had been superceeded. The fault code library is also very helpful. Not only does it give descriptions of what fault codes mean, it also details the most common causes of the faults and the order in which components should be checked based on their probability of being the cause of the fault. The built in warning lights lookup not only gives descriptions of what the warning lights mean, but it also explains how the systems work, what symptoms you may experience if the light is lit, and what effects it may have on you or the operation of the vehicle. This is one of the most useful features of this tool, as it accurately describes each of the systems in such a way that makes it easy to understand how they work. Like any diagnosis, you need to know how something works before you can undertake proper repairs. If like me you work on a large selection of vehicles from various manufacturers, you will know that the location of the OBD plug can sometimes be a bit of a mystery. The Artidiag900 Lite gets around this issue by providing a specific section highlighting the location of OBD plugs in virtually every vehicle. It uses pictures to show exact locations, which again is a time saving feature normally only found on more top end devices. For me the most useful feature of this scanner is its bluetooth capability. Most VCIs come with short cables that restrict your ability to fully test components on your own. For example if I need to feel a relay, actuator or component to see if reacts to the bi-directional control requests, I am able to do this without having to rely on someone else or listen for the clicks of components. You can hold the scanner in one hand* and feel the component with the other. * If I was to highlight something that I wasn't particularly keen on, it would be the angle of the hand grips on the rear of the device. A more square profile would make single handed operation more comfortable. Scanning vehicles is also a simple task. The Topdon intuitive and quick. It also is one of the few scanners that will detect every single module that a vehicle could be or is fitted with, and if the vehicle is fitted with a module the Topdon will communicate with it. Yes the Artidiag900 Lite isn't the top model, so in some cases it will only read and clear codes within certain modules, but this is still more than some more expensive scanners will do. I think that this scanner is an example of how things should go when it comes to VCIs. Not only is it a tool for diagnosing faults, but it's a learning tool that can teach amateurs (and even some of the pros) the basics about systems, fault diagnosis and diagnostic processes. As far as scan tools go, this is definitely one of the better ones at this price point. In fairness with the features found on it I would expect it to be priced higher than it actually is. The eight special functions are the most common, such as DPF resets/regenerations, BMS resets (adding new stop/start batteries) or bleeding ABS systems. Again all features that could allow an amateur or enthusiast to enact complete repairs without having to farm the job out. Already the Artidiag900 Lite has proven to be a worthwhile investment. The live data graphs (with overlay), or PID lists that can be easily adjusted to view only the data you want to view make diagnosing faults a lot easier. This scanner will do a lot more than other similarly marketed VCIs. It's hard to ignore it at this price point considering it's comprehensive vehicle coverage, technical databases and general diagnostic/bi-directional features.

Brilliant car code reader, identified a faulty sensor on a car I had been struggling to start. Changed the sensor and the car started first turn, so the topdon was spot on. Great construction, robust and easy to use and the blutooth connection means no cables to phaff with. Very pleased.

I wanted to share my experience with the Artidiag 900 Lite. I recently got it for my Audi, and honestly, it's been a game-changer for me. Firstly, let me tell you about its diagnostic capabilities. It's pretty impressive; it can scan every module in my car, from the engine to the air conditioning system. This has been super helpful for getting accurate info about my car's ECU and sorting out any issues with ease. Now, about the upgrades in the 2023 version, they're noticeable. The faster CPU and upgraded battery ensure everything runs smoothly. Plus, the Android 11.0 platform and 8-inch touchscreen make using it feel like a breeze. And I have to mention the bidirectional control feature; it's been a real time-saver when it comes to diagnosing problems quickly. One thing I really love about this tool is the wireless Bluetooth setup. Being able to diagnose my Audi without dealing with cables has made the whole process much more convenient. Specifically, I had a clogged DPF issue, and this tool handled it like a champ. The support for DPF regeneration, along with other resets like Oil Resets and ABS Bleeding, has been a lifesaver. Overall, I'm really happy with my purchase. It's reliable, easy to use, and has saved me both time and money on car maintenance. If you're in the market for a diagnostic tool, I'd definitely recommend giving the Artidiag 900 Lite a shot. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

The system give for granted that you can connect to wifi and force the user to do update, it happen multiple times that i have to come back home connect it to wifi and then go back to the car that i have to scan. They don't give you the option to postpone any update and they want connection wifi, if for any reason you don't have it the diagnostic tool can't be used. I tried to use my phone with hotspot, and i went through the login but, that was not enought! They have to do a full update assuming that they can use as much data they want whenever they want!! This make this tool useless. The building quality is okay but this MUST HAVE NETWORK, stop complitely the device. My suggestion is not buy this! Go for other brands where such bug is not present in the software. If you are into a garage ALWAYS CONNECTED WITH WIFI go for it, it works fine! Defintely the wrong choise for me.

Good tool, hasn’t got many functions but does its job for clearing codes, would like to program though

最初のインストールに少し時間が掛かるけど、終われば日本語で操作しやすく便利が良い☆当方は此に延長ケーブルで手元で操作してますが大変良い。リセットも簡単、終診断で故障箇所も分りやすい。取り敢えず気に入ってます。

Good quality

TOPDON e' sicuramente una marca di alta qualita' e i loro prodotti sono fatti veramente bene, robusti ecc. Ma, purtroppo se si vuole avere un prodotto TOPDON con tante funzioni bisogna spendere tanti soldi e prendere un prodotto di fascia alta, che costa olte 1.000 eur, se prendete un prodotto che costa 300/400 eur e' praticamente un giocattolo. In particolare, problema con questo strumento e' che e' lento, lo schermo si spegne a caso e la cosa peggiore, ha pochissime funzioni, soltanto 8, non riesce nemenno disattivare lo Start/Stop. Pero' devo dire che e' fatto veramente bene, robusto, custodia di alta qualita' e con tanti accessori, solo per questo 3 stelle. Alla fine ho deciso di restituirlo perche' gli mancano tante funzioni che a me servono.

The item I received has been used before. There are fingerprint everywhere on the screen and there’s an email registered with the item before so I cannot get lifetime upgrade in my email. The software was activated with the email on 16/12/2024.
