TOPDON Phoenix Plus 2, ECU Coding TOPDON Scanner V2.0, Bidirectional Scan Tool, Topology Map, CANFD, High-End OEM Full System, 42+ Service, FCA SGW AutoAuth, V.A.G Guided, 2 Years Free Update

First, study up on scan tools. Know what they are, and what they are not. Second, I bought the Phoenix Plus, not this "2" version. Kinda bad mojo to change the listing to the "2" in my purchase history... It's NOT what was purchased. This was bought on Amazon, I immediately registered my unit with AutoAuth, which Amazon Autels won't do. So that was a relief. So setup was fairly fast and simple. If you're working on any 2017+ Fiat/Chrysler stuff, buy an Autel from a real dealer (not Walmart or Amazon, I suggest aeswave(dot)com) or buy a Topdon (again, I bought my unit on here, after talking to Topdon about the whole AutoAuth thing with Autel.) I got this unit for $962(real short sale, like a 24hr offer) I wish they would update to a newer version of Android and allow Play Store. But for Android 10, it's plenty fast enough. I chose this over the Phoenix 2 mainly for it's screen size, ram and processor, essentially the only differences. The Phoenix 2 isn't explicitly listed on AutoAuths site either, but they have an "others" sub catagory in the models. So maybe it can be registered, I don't know 100%. Sellers will tell you whatever you need to hear to sell units, so I'm trying to offer my knowledge on this... I'd choose the Plus vs the Phoenix 2 again, as the screen alone is needed if you look at much in the wiring diagrams online. This is NOT designed to do module programming on USA models, there is no passthrough vci. It's a VERY capable and very quality built device, but it's not the "one device does everything" solution. For most of us, it's plenty. Passthrough vci alone is like $1500, and requires subscription to dealer services for software, and a bunch more stuff. This is NOT the tool for programming USA models. Again, research will help you understand this... Research research research. Briank100 on YouTube does reviews, actually good comprehensive ones for an old duffer, he does a bunch of different ones. I avoided Launch, due to not knowing what special functions were free and ones you had to pay for... Autel has no USA warranty or supported by AutoAuth unless you buy from a USA dealer. Xtool makes nice units, but again, no AutoAuth, requires a bypass cable for FCA. Same with Foxwell (I own a bt809ts). Foxwells are ok, built nice, old Android firmware though. The ads say they support AutoAuth, they don't. You have to use a gateway bypass cable. (Tearing the dash apart to find to begin with) The renewal is $549/yr for the Phoenix Plus after your first 2 years. OVERALL, good unit. Probably overpriced like the others. Free 2 years of updates. Probably buy a new one after 2 years. 2 years of updates will buy a new unit alone, so.... Buy one. I think you'll be happily surprised. After 2+ years, everything works fine. Did not get a subscription, everything (except coding) still works, including Autoauth. I found 99% of the updates over the last couple years we're MOSTLY Chinese or other Asian cars not heard of in the USA.

I have been seeing the TopDon Phoenix Plus shown in various auto repair videos I have been watching on YouTube. A couple of the guys I follow have been using it and singing its praises, so I decided to put it at the top of my research list. Completely intrigued with Topology view and knew my next scan tool would have to have it. I was really pleased with the idea if 2 years of free data updates, function for the dollar AND the scan tool would continue working even after the update period expired, just not adding new model years. I love the big bright screen vs. a handheld the size of my phone. Now that I bought it, I have already done Vanos adaptation on a Mini Cooper timing chain job, re-coded the VIN into a salvage yard ABS module for a Town and Country and it has helped me narrow my trouble down to the TIPM on a Chrysler Aspen that has been giving me trouble. I am pretty sure I should be able to VIN code a salvage replacement TIPM as well. Being an advanced Hobbyist mechanic, I was glad to be able to get into such a high end, bi-directional, near OEM level scan tool without breaking the bank. The money I have saved on just two projects, by not paying the dealer for the Mini/Vanos Adaptation and Chrysler/ABS coding, the tool has already repaid about a third of the purchase price in a week. A few days after registration, Tech Support even reached out to see if I needed anything... was kinda surprised by that one, not many companies proactively seek you out to see if you need anything.

Excellent product, and once I tried it I realized even more how good it is; it has been very useful to me.

Had my wife’s car into multiple shops and couldn’t get the adaptive cruise control to work. My scan tool was too out of date and not featured enough to try diagnostics myself so I broke down and took it to the Stealership. Where I was told the radar is bad and going to cost $2000+ to have it replaced and programmed. After a few YouTube diagnostics I found people using Phoenix pro to A: diag and learn the radar unit or B: replace and program the radar unit It was on flash sale for roughly $900 so I figured gambling on it. It worked perfectly. Found the radar was just out of alignment! Was able to adjust alignment verified angle with the tool and relearn the radar. Adaptive cruise works perfectly. Only reason for the 4 star is I can’t program keys like it says. Tried leaning keys with the father in laws ford and it wouldn’t do it.

A scan tool for mechanic is a must. If you looking to buy a scanner you are probably mechanic or diy-er and you now without one you can't do nothing on your car in regard of diagnosing problems. I have scanners in the past but the Phoenix plus is something else. What does it have that other scanners don't. Let me tell you this thing is a machine. From solid construction,battery that holds charge for a serious amount of time and downloading speed up to 30k kb/s this scanner impressed me. Comes with 2 years warranty excellent customer support and 2 years of free updates,you can continue using the scanner after 2 years with the last update that you'll have and you are not obligated to purchase updates of you choose not to. The tool comes in a nice plastic box full with accessories like older stile connectors charging brick and cables. I have this scanner for some months now and I've successfully diagnosed issues with my vehicles .excellent futures like topology map will help you find your way during troubleshooting a problem. Bidirectional control it's a function that is like no other and a lot more.it has a online support for vw group which I haven't use so far but it's there.if you on a market for a scan tool I would definitely recommend the Phoenix plus.

Lets preface by stating that i am a professional mechanic and been using scanners for over a decade. This TopDon is game changing. Scanners are typically VERY expensive x2 to x10 the price of the TopDon plus. furthermore they are usually very slow, unreliable and have poor battery life. The top don is the polar opposite. Insanely good battery life, connects instantly and reliably to the car. The interface is easy to use and includes just about everything you can need in a professional setting. Covers all the known brand and even more ive never heard of (and can be used as generic aswell if you have the one brand not on it) The scanner, vci, case and all the included cable are high quality and feels very durable. for reference its about twice the speed of a 2021 snap-on scanner that cost about 10 times this and also have about 2 times the battery life, i'm never touching this Snap-on scanner ever again. If you are thinking buying it, i would suggest to go on their website to compare their model, they have some with more and less function. they might suit your needs better.

The scanner arrived on time. Used it on many European, American and Japanese cars. Works fast and so many bidirectional controls.

I like the battery life on the scanner, it came almost fully charged but I was able to charge and upgrade all software immediately without issue. I have used the scanner on a number of vehicles (2007 Mazda 3, 2012 Mazda 3, 2009 Honda pilot, 2011 Acura tsx and and 2012 Santa Fe sport (awd coupling reset after replacement -adaptation). I was only surprised once that the scanner could not pick up an oxygen sensor code in the 2007 mazda 3, but the OBD II generic scanner built in and was able to see it. Overall very happy with the vin scan, access to special functions and not disappointed at all. Even though I use this as a scanner and service tool that will likely be good for me for a number of years, from a commercial perspective it probable lacks in some areas such as computer programming through j2534 interface, but hey I didn’t buy it for that purpose anyway. Will update if I have any issues, and btw use honey app to check the price I was able to get it for 1216.00 it is at 1500+ right now, Honey gave me the price history and I made an educated guess for the sale date and as a result saved 300+/-. Definitely not disappointed in my purchase!

Excellant service apres-ventes. J'ai eu un soucis en enregistrant le numero de serie qui ne fonctionnais pas et il mont rapidement aider et prit la situation en main. Excellent scanneur bi-directionnel bluetooth. Il a une tres bonne reception en communication a distance jai tester a 35 pied et etais toujours sans probleme. J'ai facilement pu recalibrer mes pneu et la pression que doit avertir ainsi que recalibrer mon senseur gravitationnelle defectueux qui occasionnais probleme de ABS. Il possede une application integrer de google pour les recherche internet ce qui est bien pour trouver une image du probleme sans avoir a utiliser un autre appareil. Dans les amelioration jaurai aimer pouvoir remplacer certain lien d'acces rapide et ajouter une application de musique dessus et ca remplacerais mon vieux ipod raccorder sur mon systeme de son pour ecouter de la musique en travaillant.
