TOPDON ArtiDiag600S OBD2 Code Reader, Car Diagnostic Tool For 4 Systems Engine/ABS/Airbag/AT, 9 Reset Functions on Oil/Brake/SAS/BMS/ABS/DPF/TPMS/Throttle, Full OBD2 Functions, Lifetime Free Update

Having looked at many units over many weeks, this ArtiDiag600 S OBD2 Scanner in my book came up ahead of many others. The purchase was made and in record time it was delivered.Removing the unit from its box I found the unit in its own very handy and protective carry case, its size is small for the complexity of the unit (see photos). Coming with a small User Guide proving easy to follow instructions with a QR code to obtain the full manual on line.The user manual for this unit was easier to follow than user manuals for similar items. Easy to follow step by step instructions made my first activation of the unit simple indeed.First connecting it to a charge source to fully charge its internal battery, then connect to the internet to update the dozens of vehicles applications within the unit. That did take some time but worth the wait.Complex as the unit is, even for an octogenarean like myself, it proved easy to use, easy to find codes, read and clear these issues.An excellent item to have in the toolbox and fantastic value for money.

This is truly an excellent piece of kit and has quickly proven its value. I bought it to scan my Volkswagen Golf as I need to change my brakes and there is a feature that allows me to unlock the automatic brakes. I have also used it on my friend’s BMW, and it uncovered faults that he didn’t even know without the dashboard warnings, a faulty brake vacuum pressure sensor. These were minor issues that were easily resolved with basic fixes. Without this scanner, I wouldn’t have been able to detect the problem. It accurately diagnosed the issue and allowed me to clear the fault codes with no trouble at all. Everything is now working perfectly.One of the standout features of this device is it offers a range of functions that are incredibly useful for servicing work. For instance, I can unlock the automatic handbrake when changing brake discs, check the battery voltage, access live data, perform DPF cleaning, and even carry out brake bleeding. These are features you’d typically find in high-end, expensive OBD readers, but the Topdon offers them at a fraction of the cost.Another big reason I chose this model over other brands is that it provides free software updates. Many other brands charge an annual subscription fee for updates, which can add up over time. With the Topdon, I don’t have to worry about those extra costs, making it an even better investment. On top of that, the large, user-friendly screen makes navigating through menus and reading fault codes incredibly simple and straightforward.Would recommend to anyone who is a DIY enthusiast car mechanic.

Delivery was very quick, and I arrived within 2 days.It was well packaged and the build quality of the scanner is very impressive. The scanner and obd cable feel really solid and robust.In the box with the scanner is a user manual, quick start guide, trouble shhoting sheet and a USB C cable to charge it ( It also charges from the obd port) and the USB C cable is a good sign of an upto date product.Setup was easy- Connect to WiFi and run updates and you're ready to go.I've had several vehicles connected to it. 2017 Seat Ateca, 2009 Vw Scirocco, 2020 Transit custom, 2012 Transit van and a 2016 Citroen C4 gp (with known faults that 2 other scanners couldn't read) In all cases the scanner connected with out problem and the Auto Vin function worked perfectly.The WiFi range is good and still able to connect whilst parked at the bottom of my driveway.The screen is crisp, responsive and easy to read and the Operating system is smooth and very intuitive.The vehicles battery voltage displays at the top of the screen, with this and a scan. I was able to rule out the poor starting on my Transit van being the battery and instead down to faulty heater plugs.The scanner was able to pick up all the known faults on my wife's Citroen C4 gp with no problem.A nice feature of this scanner is being able to click on the fault code and search Google for code definitions and fixes straight from the device.I'm looking forward to delving deeper into the more advanced features i.e DPF Regen etc. There's too many functions to mention on a review.With the added bonus of FREE LIFETIME UPDATES and the price I am very pleased with it and would 100% recommend this to friends and family.Overall I'm very impressed and would definitely buy another Topdon product. (possibly even one of the more expensive scanners)

Was having a nightmare sorting out faults with my 2015 peugeot 3008, this machine read the codes on abs,esp and handbrake fault and told me what the issues were, new speed sensor fitted and all sorted, also showed up a faulty cam sensor that was giving issues on vehicle starting, changed and now no faults. Worth the money so far

I bought this to replace a topdon scanner that uses your phone via Bluetooth that needed a paid update. Had a look around and have always found the topdon stuff works really well and much better than the competition in this price bracket. With free updates for life it has already read codes on 3 of my friends vehicles so will pay for itself in no time. Cleared the service light on a discovery 4 after the garage forgot to reset it post service.Easy to use and good value for money

Great bit of kit, has worked well and my go to now, works great so far and really easy to set-up and use
