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.

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.

Just purchased this as my needs grew as a DIY Mechanic. I have an ArtiDiag 600, which works great but doesn’t have the "Bi-Directional Control" option I need to turn on and off an EVAP vent valve. I have watched MANY YouTube videos to learn about different scantool vendors and about the Bi-Directional controls that true scantools offer that would allow me to manage and control certain valves and solenoids for testing purposes. I needed to control the EVAP Vent Valve to run a smoke test to try and find a leak to help fix it to clear the DTC P0456 Check Engine light. I spent a lot of time figuring out which vendor/device to buy, Autel, ThinkCar, xTool, Lauch, iCarsoft, etc., which I could afford as these scantools can be VERY expensive. One of the things that I read about most is the terrible Customer Support from most of the vendors I mentioned above; they either offer poor or no response, poor results, or even no help at all. I decided to call Topdon Support to test them to see if they could answer this question: Which is the minimum device that I could buy that can give me full Bi-Directional Controls? The support rep was very friendly and asked me a few questions to find out exactly what I needed and how I would use the device; he mentioned that the ArtiDiag Pro was all I would need, nothing more. I then asked him if the more expensive Topdon Professional Scantools would perform better bi-directional features; his answer was no; he said you either have Bi-Directional options or not, and there isn’t a “better version” of it if you buy the more expensive tool. He mentioned that based on my budget and what I needed to accomplish, the ArtiDiag Pro was all the power I needed since I wasn’t a full-time real mechanic in a shop. The rep also told me that the unit comes with 2 years of free updates; after 2 years, it costs $249 per year, and that ArtiDiag Pro comes with 2 years of warranty with email tech support AND phone tech support from 9-6 (EST) Mon-Fri. So based on that phone call, I knew I would be purchasing the ArtiDiag Pro hands down; I found it here on Amazon‘s TT Topdon Store for a GREAT price! I have received delivery and have tested to see if, in fact, it does control the vent valve; after some time trying to figure out where this option was, I can happily report that this model does control the vent valve, and from what I saw many other options that I was not aware of. I am thrilled that I found a top-notch device for my price range from Topdon and spent my money on a fabulous mid-range scantool that does what I need it to do. Thank you, Topdon and the support rep who gave me an honest suggestion based on my needs and budget.

You get what you pay for... The only real complaints that I have are how long it takes to complete downloading and installing the updates. Seems like you're doing that everyday. Easy enough to use although sometimes the vin reader doesn't work, but you can still put in manually, by model. Better instructions would also be nice. Some of the testing procedures leave you wondering if they completed or not. Next time I'll spend the extra money and upgrade.

Update: I've used it recently on a BMW (e90 LCI 335d) and the scanner offers a good number of coding/programming options - not as much as you can do with Bimmercode and definitely not NCS Expert but still very useful. And importantly and conveniently, you can code in a new battery type and register it easily. Edit: 10 month update. I still use this scanner regularly, and I've used it now on BMW and Mercedes Benz products and a couple Nissans. It's worked great for me doing everything I've asked it to do. It routinely gets updates to the various software bits for newer models or extra features for older stuff. Zero complaints so far, and it's paid for itself time and time again. I watch Pine Hallow Auto Diagnostics and a few other channels and I've known I could benefit from an auto scanner. There are a lot of brands and devices to choose from, and it's hard to determine what features are available on which at what price point. I'm a mostly DIY mechanic who works on a variety of cars for friends and family. I settled on the Topdon Artidiag Pro because the size and price combined with 2 years of free updates seemed worth it to me. It was the right choice for me and it's more than paid for the price of the scanner with the tasks it has enabled me to perform already, and I've only had it a few weeks! Pros: So far, it's done everything I've asked it to do *and more*. I needed it to complete a Steering Angle Reset on a 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe, which it did very easily. A stealership had replaced the clockspring under a recall but did not plug in the new clock spring, causing me new SRS and stability control DTCs to appear. They wanted money to fix the issue - THAT THEY CREATED! - so I said enough is enough, and I bought the Topdon. It helped me confirm that the steering wheel sensor was functional BEFORE I performed the steering angle reset by viewing the live data that the wheel sensor was putting out. It had simply lost its calibration due to the car being operated without the clockspring plugged in. It then let me clear the SRS and ESC DTCs upon completion of the "repair." Being able to read all the codes and ensure work has been completed successfully is great - the Health Scan feature allows you to save a diagnostic, pre-repair, and post-repair report to share with your customer, and they are time stamped as evidence of the codes being cleared / no new codes. Very helpful! The Santa Fe also had TPMS issues that the Artidiag Pro helped me troubleshoot - it was able to show me the live data on the sensor locations, temperature, pressure readings, and IMPORTANTLY, their learned status / progress. This was key, along with a Hyundia/Kia TSB, in determining than the TPMS Module itself was bad. To replace that requires encoding the vehicle VIN and model into the new module - which I thought I would need dealer-specific software to complete. The Topdon Artidiag Pro has this capability in its Special Function, which was amazing! I encoded the data myself, encoded the sensors back into the new module, and the car has a working TPMS system for the first time in 8 years. This work alone saved me far, far more than the price of the tool vs paying a stealership to do it. I was also able to use the tool to program a remote keyfob for the same car and send the customer home with 2 remotes instead of none. I was able to enable a feature that auto-locked the doors once the vehicle reached 20kph, as well, something the customer very much appreciated. I've used the scanner now on several Hondas, two Toyotas, and a Ford and a Chevy and it's worked great in all of them, from 2002 through 2018 model years. You can also use the tool to read generic ODB II live data, and I was able to use it to properly diagnose and confirm the fix on a Bank 1 Rich code on a Honda Odyssey. It's amazing to see your long term fuel trims adjust in real time once the issue is resolved, and you can save both of those before/after reports/recordings to share with the customer as confirmation that the fix really DID fix the issue. I used it to confirm a dead o2 sensor on a different 2007 Sante Fe and NOT the bad catalytic converter their mechanic told them. You can pull up and display a load of PIDs, and once you know what they mean, it's easy to connect the dots correctly. One O2 sensor later and their issue was fixed as well. I finally resolved a long-standing SRS light on a friend's Acura TL (seatbelt sensor needed cleaning). Stealership had told him it would be $400 for them to diagnose and correct it. I did it with a few sprays of electrical contact cleaner, because Topdon let me read the code. A Toyota Camry I was in recently had the 'BRAKE' light on the dash. I had a feeling I knew what the issue was (low brake fluid in the reservoir) but with the Topdon Artidiag Pro, I was able to quickly pull up the PID for the parking brake to ensure it was showing as OFF - this confirmed that there was nothing wrong with any parking brake sensor, and after topping off the brake fluid, the light went away as expected. It seems like a small thing but the ability to solidify a diagnosis in seconds is SOOO handy! The screen size is large enough to display multiple sensors/PIDs as well as a good sized graph view, so I don't feel I am missing out vs models with 10-12 inch displays. It's a convenient, portable size. The home page has an "updates" tab which displays a small indicator of when new updates are available. When I first booted it up, it had a load of updates to do to get it current. Since I've had it, Topdon has pushed out another dozen or so updates for different makes of vehicles. It's clear they are continuously improving and supporting their software, which is really great to see. Cons: These aren't really negatives but just things to be aware about: This is not bluetooth so you do have to be tethered to the DLC port while using the scanner. For me it's not yet been an issue and the cable is very long so you can move the scanner through the window if needed, easily. If you MUST have this, then Topdon has several models which cost more that give you this feature. The VIN auto-detect, I have found, is very slow on some cars. I'm not sure why. I simply disabled the auto-detect on connection at the DLC, and instead I select the make of the car before it scans the VIN, which is then VERY fast. Again, NOT a complaint, just a process to be aware of when using the scanner. It requires two extra screen taps but the VIN detect is then so much faster, that it's definitely faster to do it this way. If you work on your own cars, you owe it to yourself to get a better scanner than just basic ODB II p codes. Topdon has a great product in their Artidiag Pro with loads of features at a great price, and I know from experience that it'll pay for itself in no time.
