VDIAGTOOL Bidirectional Scan Tool, VD70 OBD2 Scanner Diagnostic Tool with 38 Reset Functions, PMI, Coding, Full System Car Scanner with VAG Guided Function, FCA, CAN FD & DoIP, 3-Year Free Update

Whether you are a Do-it-Yourselfer or a professional technician, you’ll find the VD70 packed with features you would find on a scan tool costing much more. I’ve been using the VD70 for several weeks and have found it to be an exceptional tool for diagnosing automotive system issues.First of all, the tool is built into a rugged tablet that feels like it could survive a fall without damage. It arrives packed in a sturdy hard-shell case that also contains the comm cable to the OBD port on the vehicle, a USB-C charging cable, and a charger with a selection of AC adapters for different countries. There is a quick-start guide included.The VD70 is also charged through the OBD cable so there is no chance it will run out of power during use.The first time you power the tool you’ll be prompted to set up a free account via a wireless connection to the Internet. When you register the product, you’ll receive a free 3-year subscription for updates. When I selected the update button on the tool, I was presented with 33 updates that took about 28 minutes to complete. You will set up the language, units, and other customizable parameters per your preference. I downloaded the full user manual into the tool which is then accessible by touching an icon inside a menu. The tablet has about 40GB of storage available for reports, photos, and other things you might want to save during diagnostics.You can add an optional endoscope later that will allow you to see what the scope sees right on the tool’s screen. There is a built-in camera.When you connect to the vehicle, the VD70 grabs the VIN, make, model and mileage.I had to replace the battery on one of my vehicles and was able to easily reset the battery monitoring system after installation.This device can access and control so many systems on vehicles. I ran a full automatic diagnostic on my car and it accessed hundreds of nodes and actuated an array of devices such as door locks, AC, speakers, headlamps, etc. and reported back on all the modules it could find. The scan was comprehensive, and it took about 10 minutes to complete. It identified several items of concern that I could then follow up with individually. Every item that is run during the automated testing can also be controlled manually. I like that fuel injectors can be disabled individually by the tool to verify their effect on how the engine if performing. Because you can control so many devices with the tool, you can make easily decisions on whether a component is functioning as it should.There is a recording feature that can be used to save live data and later overlay it into a graphing format with several monitored channels. Reports can be saved and transmitted via email or presented as a PDF.There are dozens of features I have yet to try out. Key programming, TPS monitoring, ABS bleeding and oil reset are just a few of the capabilities of the VD70 that I plan to use soon.About the only feature I did not find and would like to see included in a future version would be topology mapping. However, at this price point I feel the VD70 is an excellent choice for a bidirectional scan tool.

When I was looking for a more advanced scanner, this one seemed to check all the boxes for my needs (plus a lot more). The price, the capabilities, the support and the simple to use interface. They did a good job making the software user friendly. It is also fast to get the data from the vehicle. Some of the other scanners I've used were much slower.The initial software update went smooth and quick. The auto-scan found the 3 vehicle I tried right away. The trouble codes were easy to understand and clear (although a few, like TPMS dead batteries came right back).The live data is very handy and helpful. You can even do a live graph.The special functions are really cool. You can actuate things like dampers and lights to test them independently. Although I didn't try them all, like brake bleeding and some others, the ones I used worked great. There is even key programming!I'm sure this one will be my go-to for quite a while. I'm not a professional mechanic, but I do most of my own work Even when it's a job for a professional, I want to know as much as I can before I go see them.

This bidirectional scan tool comes packed in a very nice case along with all the cables, plugs, and chargers you will need. I was pleasantly surprised by the large number of languages that are supported. Setup consists of choosing the language you want and then setting up a wifi connection. Updating the tool and installing all the latest vehicle updates is recommended.When you power up the tool it will open a set of touch buttons for various functions. Pressing "Auto Scan" will cause the tool to automatically connect to the vehicle, negotiate the proper protocol, and read the VIN and other vehicle information. You can then automatically scan for any DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes), and if any DTCs are found, pressing the corresponding button will take you to diagnostics for that code. The vehicle I was testing had an EVAP and an oxygen sensor issue, see the photos for the steps in reading those codes.To investigate the oxygen sensor issue I selected a custom set of sensors to monitor and directed the tool to display the data as a graph, as shown in the attached photos. Being able to select which sensor data is displayed is a huge benefit, you can watch relevant data without having to scroll through pages of unrelated data.The tool can read Live Data so you can monitor selected sensors and functions as the car is running. This is useful for diagnostic testing and allows you to try making a change and immediately seeing the impact on vehicle behavior.The tool also reads the Freeze Frame data, the "snapshot" of sensor data recorded when a DTC is set. This allows you to see what was going on at the time the DTC was set.This tool also has bidirectional capability, so it can control actuators on the vehicle as well as program keys, reset TPMS, bleed ABS brakes, etc. Note that some of that capability is dependent on the car, and if the car does not support a feature the tool obviously cannot control that feature. This is more of an issue on older cars, anything 2010 or newer should be fully supported. The manufacturer has a great webpage that will tell you exactly what functions are supported on which vehicles, so you can check this before buying if you want.This is a very capable tool and will perform nearly any diagnostic testing and control for most vehicles. It's priced to be affordable for home mechanics but is capable enough to be the main diagnostic tool in a pro shop.

I am professional auto technician over 50 years of experience & would like to leave my review how I feel about the VD-70, with a 5 star ratingIf you are looking for a scan tool the VD-70 is then this the one you want very impressive high tech features& very affordable price Three year free update is a great plus compared to Autel which offers one yearThe VD-70 has 36 special system resets VS 28 resets which Autel offersThe auto scan feature works amazing well able to scan all modules in a very short timeEvery time I use the VD-70 I find some new features, this scan tool has a lot packed into itI would like to leave my review for the VD-70, this scan tool has a lot of features but first,The kick stand on the back is a real plus, instead of a scan tool that you have to leave laying down or try to prop up to see the screenThe VD-70 loads in a short amount of time compared other scan tool I have used in the past & VIN automatic detection lighting fastOne main reason I purchased the VD-70 was the ECU coding for Volkswagen which I own one& work on for others alsoProgramming keys is a quick & easy process; The VD-70 provides pin code for the key programmingVolkswagen & other European manufactures have lock out aftermarket scan tools per key ,ECU coding programming, among other features that were previously only available with factory approved scan equipmentThere is a lot packed into the VD-70 , able to see up to 8 graph pid,s at one time in live data& freeze frameI used the VD-70 to find a intermittent power window issue with a Chrysler minivan, ,I was able to use self test, code retrieval &the Bi-directional control on the VD-70 to roll the windows up & down & able to pin point the issue as a bad master window switch ,The VD-70 can detect difference a module communication or master switch issuesThree year free update sis a great plus compared to Autel which offers one yearThe VD-70 has 36 special system resets VS 28 resets which Autel offersI was working a 2005 Ford F150 5.4 I was able to perform on a VCT relearn for poor acceleration , flagging the A&B camshaft sensor faults ,one feature I was not aware of on any scan toolHad a 2003 Chevy Silverado 4.3 with random misfire P0300 ,the lady had taken to various shops no one could find the issue, with the special features with the VD-70 was able to pin point with the power balance& injector performance tabs, turns out #5 is the issue had a bad distributor capTo sum it up I am very impressed with the performance of the VD-70,the best scan tool I have usedI highly recommend the VD-70 for the DYI up to the Professional levelSteve B.

The VD70 is amazingly fast. Hands down the best diagnostic tool I have used. Connected flawlessly to my WiFi. I have been having trouble with my one vehicle and with this it helped me solve my issues. I like when you have a fault code you can click on it and it will open a web browser to further assist your diagnostics. The screen is big and easy to read.The VD70 feels fantastic in your hands perfect weight and size. The tool is easy to work and also has an endoscope app for you to buy a endoscope which works very well with the VD70.Live data ran fantastic no lag! The battery life felt like it was never depleting when I used it like a normal tablet to play around on. When plugged into the car it does charge. Might not be wireless when diagnosing but I used wireless scanners before and they seem to be not even as close as fast as this.The seller Vdiagtool is fantastic! Fast delivery and very courteous when I email them. They get back to me within and most of the times less than a day. They were very helpful when you ask them a question.Overall the tool the case and chargers it is a very nice package. Wish I bought one sooner. The coverage of my vehicles (18’ Buick and 21’ Subaru) is amazing. I feel like I can figure any problem out when the computers are throwing codes. More the Buick. Subaru is a near perfect vehicle. Contact the seller for your coverage they will respond. Awesome company can’t wait for more innovative tools for them to come out with! Hopefully an 4 channel oscilloscope!

If you're like me, and start to panic when the check engine light comes on, then this diagnostic tool is for you.The VD70 Pro. is a diagnostic scanner, it will help you as it did me, identify and troubleshoot issues with your vehicle.Initial Setup:When you turn on the scan tool for the 1st time, you will have to set it up.1)Charge the VD70, with the included charger. It comes with the US, EU, & UK Wall Adapters.2)Select your language3)Set up your Wi-Fi network4)You need to register the device, so you can update the software.You can use the unit in trial mode, without registering 6 times.For the best user experience, I recommend updating the software. When you update, you get the latest software with any bugs removed.You get 3 years of updates for free.Once the VD70 is updated, you're ready to start using it.Plug the cable (VGA To OBDll) into your OBDII port, and start your engine.I performed an "Auto Scan," which checked all my vehicles electronic systems, including engine, transmission, ABS, SRS, and more. Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) can be read and reset after trouble is diagnosed and repaired.Special Functions:Bi-Directional Control, allowed me to operate components, like Power Window Motors, to troubleshoot power, switch or relay problems, is very useful. oil reset, EPB (Electronic Parking Brake) reset, SAS (Steering Angle Sensor) calibration, DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) regeneration, and TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) programming, and too many more that I haven't tested.I found the scan tool easy to navigate, but a learning curve is involved. It will depend on your experience in troubleshooting.Data Logging and Playback:I took some screen-shots of the live data that was being shown, as the vehicle was running. I find this data useful, so if something doesn't seem right in the future. I can refer back to it for comparison.Expansion:You can purchase an Endoscope, which will allow you to look inside the cylinder head, at the pistons to detect and diagnose wear, carbon deposits, clogging, etc.Conclusion:I really enjoyed using the this scan tool. Unfortunately, maintaining modern vehicles is getting more complicated. Technology is advancing so quickly in the automotive field. I hope this review helps you make the right choice, for your needs.

I had high hopes for this but it is nothing but confusing. I am a very techy person and this thing is NOT user friendly. I had to put in vehicle information MULTIPLE times only to have it error. It would not find my vehicle when hooked up and did not allow me to make adjustments of systems as needed. I have a Volvo so it need specific system requirements which I though this one did... nope. Once turned on, it also has a 3 year service, once that is up, you have to pay for the features to continue (it's in the fine print). Overall I had an iCarsoft and thought I would give this one a try... not worth it. All in all, not user friendly, needs the internet to work, will not find your cars info. Not happy at all.

I've owned many different scan tools and so far this one has become my favorite. Having the ability to bidirectionally control different functions on the car is a game changer. Resetting an air bag light, or calibrating a steering angle sensor, reading TPMS sensors or bleeding an ABS brake system are just a few of the options you have with this tool.For the price, I found it to be a highly functional tool with a lot of capabilities. I've used it on older and newer vehicles and it quickly reads the VIN number and scans the systems quickly. I did find on some manual functions I would have to wait about 30 seconds, which seems like a long time. But overall it is fast. It also has a memory for vehicles that you've already scanned, which can save some setup time the second time around.I also like the ability to be able to make quick report and print it for a reference.It comes with a nice protective case and the instructions are pretty easy to follow. Updates are free for 3 years.If you're looking for a bi-directional scanner that won't break the bank, this is the one!

Well built. Nice little kickstand on the back to prop it up while using it. Plenty of ongoing updates for the device firmware and the vehicle specific software. I have used this to successfully program an extra key for my GF's Mazda 3 and have cleared codes on my Honda Civic

Great bidirectional OBD2 has many functions and operations can turn on off fan open close windows scan all modules great semi professional tool for small shops or major back yard diagnostics. Best price point for advanced tool

The VDIAGTOOL is a fantastic scanner for the price! It connected to my car quickly and gave a full diagnostic report in minutes. I love the bi-directional control and maintenance features super helpful for DIY repairs. Works great on my VW. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable, easy-to-use tool!

Excellent product...and price

The ONLY scan tool known to me on the market that can recode AND reprogram batteries on E70 BMW.Not even OEM BMW scan tool could do it! INPA/P wont function, Tool32 is missing scripts for that car specifically/wont communicate properly with car etcetc.This tool? Plug in, hit BMS, recode in minutes. Can even see exchange history! Something BMW tool cannot do properly without exchanging process even if it did work!Only four stars because it wont connect to wifi.Tried 5ghz and 2.4ghz and nothing. Had to connect to hotspot on my phone and it took forever to download updates.Refuses to connect to SRS module in 2018 Civic LX, used I-HDS tool instead.
