XTOOL D9 OE-Level Car Diagnostic Scanner 2023 Newest Ver. with 3-Year Updates, Topology Mapping, ECU Coding & PMI, 42+ Resets, Key Programming, Bidirectional Controls & Full Diagnosis, DoIP & CANFD

I’ve been in Mobile Mechanic down here in Hot South Florida for about 10 years and this scanner is a huge upgrade to my diagnostic tooling. And the D8, which is like the step down from this one for about three years and this one just blows it away, especially on the euro cars like Mercedes and Bmw’s. Bluetooth Range is one of the best things I can walk around with it. Sit in my truck in the Air Conditioning,like 30 or 40 feet away, or even further without losing connections, which is awesome when it’s 90 to 100° outside. They upgraded the charging port to USB-C so it works with everything I have instead of having to bring along with that independent charger, which is a huge upgrade. I have even use my Anchor 40 W power bank to charge it while I was working on a long day wirelessly when the battery was low. Your battery lasts pretty much all day though, but it’s nice to have the option to charge it off of power bank with USB-C. They have new AI stuff. It seems pretty helpful but I haven’t used it much. What I really love about this is the ability to program all the different modules back up the data off of an entire car and then dump the data back on the modules instantly. I’ve been using the module programming almost every day, and it saved me and made me a lot of money, not having to sub it out or call somebody that I could. Being able to program Mercedes has been a huge huge deal for me because the Body Shop I work with pretty much only deals with olders Mercedes, 2004-2016 ish. So far after almost a month it’s been great. No complaints at all. I only had one issue with updating the VCA Software and the support guys got back to me in like 1-2 hours max so I didn’t have to lose a day waiting on that. That alone saved me 600 bucks not having any downtime. the support guys are really good. I’d recommend this to any Mechanic mobile or in a shop that’s looking for something that’s way cheaper than the name brand stuff and has the same coverage and functionality at half the price.

This is a big boy, but it is much faster than some of the popular competitors that claim lifetime updates and full function capabilities. I don’t like the larger size, but I like the larger size. I wasn’t looking for a 10 inch screen, but now that I have it, my eyes love it. Some competitors tout lifetime updates and make promises to include new features, then they roll back on those promises. XTOOL has been very clear on their update policy and the abilities of the tool to continue to work after the subscription period. XTOOL includes topology on their product along with many other features that others do not include. In fact some tools will tell you that you must have an active subscription in order to use premium features. So far I am very pleased with my purchase. I did spend more than I planned on, but I feel I ended up with a better product. Video to follow in the coming weeks. I chose the D(S PRO because of its enhanced capabilities, Topology, large screen, key programming capabilities and AI assistance. This is the second XTOOL that I own. I also have a A30M which is great for the quick hits and working in the field. I will say the D9S PRO has a HUGE dongle, but because of that it is very fast. One last thing, the kit came with a lot of additional cables and accessories.

I use this for several things automotive. It has several functions, some of which I have not been able to get from any other unit such as getting the pin number to program keys on GM vehicles. With 3 years of updates and a platform that doesn't expire I think it is a good value. It is not exceptionally fast it does the trick well. Not hard to use just could be a little more intuitive. I like that it is always getting updates which means they are consistently improving it's abilities and compliance. I also like that it helps you diagnose through the Internet seamlessly. I have used to to diagnose problems with a hybrid vehicle so it's pretty versatile as well. It's worth getting the 12+8 link for Chrysler vehicles which is less than 30 bucks so you have it when you need it for FCA. I would but this again.

I’ve been a fan of Xtool diaganostic scanners since I moved away from using my previous consumer-level but high quality parts-store scanners, on to the professional equipment OBD-2 diagnostic tools. After much research, I chose to go with Xtool for a number of reasons. I am not a professional auto technician, but have been working on my personal vehicles which have included many makes such as Lexus, BMW, Mercedes, Dodge, Jeep, Toyota, etc, along with family and friends vehicles, etc., as a hobby for over 30 years. To better understand my perspective: I am a professional researcher, information systems technologist and technical writer, so I am quite passionate and potentially a bit compulsive when researching major purchases! It can take me days to weeks of research because I want to be sure that I am making the correct choices based on my immediate and potential future needs as well. Ideally, when using technologies of any type, it's a good idea to future-proof your investment! Through this process, I have determined Xtool to be at the forefront of the market for which they serve. That is, from the novice to the advanced professional-level of diagnostics and repair. I have purchased and owned (4) of their products thus far, including the endoscope, D8, D8-BT, and now the D9 Pro. Each scan tool offers a higher level feature-set. The D9-Pro appears to stand out in having the highest number of Special Service Functions capabilities, along with the longest update terms of any other competitor in this class of tools. In addition, I continue to purchase their products because they provide the most solid and extensive features, update policy, and warranty, but most importantly customer service, in comparison to their competitors. Their customer service is responsive and provides outstanding product support, especially through this particular Amazon seller. You can actually purchase this product from several Amazon and/or Ebay sellers, but be very careful because they are not equal in terms of knowledge nor after-sales support. Some are not official sellers of the product and do not have a direct relationship with the manufacturer. This is very important. The developers are constantly providing updates which consist or new features, special functions, updates, etc. I once had a problem with a feature that was not working for my Mercedes E-550 Turbo Cabriolet. I contacted the this Amazon seller, Evy, which is actually a (tier-2 support) person with direct communications with the company. Within two-days, she was able to get a beta update sent directly to my (D9-Pro) that actually worked, the first time! On another occasion with the (D8-BT), that I typically let family members borrow (yeah I’m very generous), she was able to arrange for an Xtool technologist to connect with me (remotely) and view my screen to provide hands-on testing and support. As a professional technologist in the information technology field trust me when I say that this is extremely impressive and an important factor to consider. To avoid any potential problems and assure that you get the top tier support from such a considerable investment, be sure to purchase from the Xtool Store here on Amazon if you decide to purchase an Xtool product. This D9 is the best bang for the buck in my humble opinion.

D9s pro is more than a diy tool. It's packed with highly advanced features and performs dealer level functions. Wireless vci connectivity range goes far. It's super fast in reading car's modules. It's fairly priced. Xtool customer service have been extremely helpful with getting me some firmware updates for my Mercedes ECU programming. I have owned D7, D8w and now D9s pro. Xtools have make excellent tools and I 100% recommend D9s pro to any independent shop or the diy mechanic.
