TOPDON ArtiDiag Pro OBD2 Scanner Diagnostic Tool, Bidirectional Scan Tool with ECU Coding, 35+ Services, V.A.G Guided, FCA SGW, Can FD DoIP/All System Diagnosis

I’m a DIYer and bought this mainly for myself and my immediate family, but it’s already proven useful beyond that. After getting it, I updated it right away and the process was simple and straightforward. The user interface is clean, easy to navigate, and doesn’t feel overwhelming even with how many features this tool has. This scanner does have a subscription, but it includes two years free, which is more than enough time to get serious value out of it. Considering that many mechanics charge around $200 just for a diagnostic, this tool realistically pays for itself after only one or two uses. After that, you’re basically in the profit every time you use it. What really sold me is how versatile it is. I can use it on my own vehicles, help family members diagnose issues, and even assist friends, coworkers, or someone who’s broken down and needs quick answers. It goes far beyond basic code reading and gives real, usable information that helps you decide what’s safe to drive and what needs attention. I spent a lot of time researching scanners before buying this, including looking at Autel and several other brands. For the price range, this one stood out as the best balance of capability, features, and usability. It feels powerful without being locked behind expensive professional-only tools. One thing worth noting is that this model charges via USB. Some older reviews mention a different charging style, but that’s no longer the case. USB charging makes it much more convenient and modern. Overall, this is a solid investment for anyone who works on their own vehicles or wants a capable diagnostic tool without paying shop prices. If you use it even a couple of times, it more than justifies the cost. Highly recommended for DIYers.

As a professional technician, throughout my career in shops, I've become quite comfortable using many different types of scan tools ranging from Snap On, Matco and Autel just to name a few. Having readily available scan tools is absolutely fundamental to this career, however, with so many different scan tools in the market now in days it can become quite frustrating making a decision on which one to purchase. My coworkers saw a review on this Top Don product and were pretty impressed to say the least specially for its price and so I took a shot and purchased one for myself (my very 1st personal scan tool since all the other ones I've ever used belonged to the shops). I was a bit nervous because I did not know if this product would keep up with the various amount of tests I perform daily on multiple different types of makes and models of vehicles. I have now been using this scan tool for about a month now and I must say, I am very impressed. This product has been able to keep up with every task I have thrown at it. I have even been able to program keys for Honda, Mazda, BMW, Audi and Kia. It's incredible the amount of things I can perform with this tool. I can compare data streams, access many special functions of many different types of modules, record data, extract codes and even send the report through e-mail to make it readily available to print making it an absolutely fundamental tool when chasing error codes or looking for component failures or even command modules to operate so many different types of outputs. Its connectivity is surprisingly faster than the shop's $6000 Snap On Scanner! Its incredible how easy the interface on this device is, so straight forward and easy to navigate. If your serious about this career, this tool is a MUST HAVE for your tool box. I have used other Top Don products and have always been more than pleased with their high quality. Once again they have surpassed my expectations once more, creating such powerful device and making it available for tech's who are just starting off or for professionals who are seriously involved in the trade, this tool is highly recommended for you!

As a professional mechanic with over 10 years of experience, I can confidently say this OBD2 scanner is one of the best I’ve used in my shop. It’s reliable, accurate, and fast – three things that are crucial when you’re diagnosing multiple vehicles in a day. The interface is intuitive, and it provides detailed data on a wide range of systems, from engine codes to ABS and SRS diagnostics. One of the standout features for me is the bi-directional control, which allows me to actively test components like fuel injectors, fans, and throttle. It helps me pinpoint issues much faster than other scanners I’ve used in the past. The live data stream is incredibly useful for catching intermittent problems, and the graphing function is a nice bonus. What sets this scanner apart is its compatibility with both newer and older vehicle models, making it a versatile tool that I can use on anything that comes into my shop. For the price, it’s hard to find a more comprehensive and dependable OBD2 scanner. If you’re a professional looking to add a top-tier diagnostic tool to your arsenal, this is definitely worth the investment.

I purchased this scanner for my dealership to do more diagnosis in-house. First impressions are that the unit is very high quality and easy to use. The hard case and interior foam compartments are very well done. It was easy to connect to wifi for the first time and download available updates. A listing of vehicles I have tested it on so far: 2001 Jeep Cherokee 4.0: would not auto recognize the VIN so I had to manually enter it. I was able to use bi-directional controls to command an EVAP component and the cooling fan. 2010 Ford Expedition 5.4: Auto VIN recognition worked and it was able to access all modules including air suspension codes and audio/entertainment system 2009 Chrysler Sebring Convertible: Auto VIN recognition worked and it was able to access modules for airbags and BCM. Unfortunately, I was unable to access bi-directional controls for the convertible top, which is what I was primarily interested in. It could access the module and identify the trouble codes related to the top, but did offer the option to use bi-directional control 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt: accessed all modules and performed oil life reset. 2006 Ford F-250 5.4: accessed all modules and commanded RPM and intake runner activation 2006 Ford F-450 6.0 Diesel: accessed all modules and commanded VGT turbo vane activation and RPM Overall, it seems to be able to access most modules across the brands and vehicles I have tested. I’ll edit this review as I scan more GM vehicles. My primary complaint is the inability to command convertible top operation on the Chrysler and the emissions readiness test indication is not clear. I have other scanners that will simply provide a green light if the vehicle will pass emissions, although this may be more related to my inexperience with the unit. I’ll give it a 4.5 out of 5.

Excellent scan tool with so many features. This scanner far outweighs the 2000-dollar Snap-on scanner. So far, this scanner is my favorite out of all of the ones I have owned. The value for the money is exceptional; you can't go wrong. The scanner is easy to use and has a lot of advanced features that a lot of others don't have. It has key programming, ECU programming, you can program ABS modules... the list goes on.

I’ve been using this Topdon bidirectional scanner for a few weeks now and it has absolutely exceeded my expectations. As a mechanic, I needed a reliable scan tool that can do more than just read and clear codes — and this thing delivers. The interface is super user-friendly and fast. I was able to perform active tests and control components like fuel injectors, cooling fans, and electronic throttle bodies with ease. It even supports special functions like ABS bleeding, TPMS reset, and DPF regen on supported vehicles. What really impressed me is how well it handles bi-directional control — I’ve tested it on a range of cars and trucks, and it hasn’t let me down. It gives detailed live data and graphing that helps with deeper diagnosis too. The updates are simple to install, and the build quality is solid — it feels like a professional tool without the insane price tag. Highly recommend for techs and DIYers who want something powerful without breaking the bank. Easily one of the best investments I’ve made for my garage.

Probably a good scanner if you don't have one of those with SGW (Security GateWay) modules like the FCA (Fiat,Chrysler Automobiles) cars. I got a 2018 Chrysler Pacifica Limited and you must to be aware that you have to pay (extra) 50 bucks subscription with AutoAuth in order to get this thing working for you car. The 12+8 cable WILL NOT bypass the SWG module as promissed by the seller (strike 1). Also it will not do any IMMO (like duplicate key fob) for my car (I was told that this scanner will IMMO functions for my car so strike 2), Also my car started acting "weird" (watch video showing the fuel level going up and down) then I ended up with a error code and a message that my car need to be serviced due to FCW (Forward Collision Warning) not being available.(Strike 3). Plus other "maybe" minors issues like reloading screen taking forever, etc. I added some pics as refer and yes, I got everything connected right. Car was in ON position, etc., etc. I will say that some false advertising ( maybe to grow up sales, who knows....) is the culprit but I can't say that TOPDON is a dishonest seller but I'm really dissapointed with this product.

My husband is a mechanic and absolutely loves this TOPDON ArtiDiag Pro. He uses it all the time and says it’s one of the most useful tools he has. It’s easy to use, works quickly, and gives detailed diagnostic information that helps save time when figuring out problems. The bidirectional functions and all-system scanning make it much more advanced than a basic code reader. It’s great for checking different vehicle systems, running tests, and handling a wide variety of repairs. The screen is clear, responsive, and the tool feels high quality and durable. What I like most is how often he reaches for it—it’s not something that sits in the toolbox unused. It has become part of his regular workflow because it makes diagnosing issues faster and easier. Overall, this is a great investment for mechanics, DIY car enthusiasts, or anyone who works on vehicles regularly. Powerful, reliable, and definitely worth it!
