XTOOL Anyscan A30D OBD2 Scanner Diagnostic Tool Wireless, Bidirectional Scan Tool with Lifetime Updates & 19 Resets, Crank Sensor Relearn, Full System Diagnostics, Car Code Reader for iPhone/Android

XTool A30D I recently purchased the XTOOL Anyscan A30D wireless scan tool. I already have the XTOOL IP608, which has been great. It has helped me to pin point some issues I was having with a vehicle throwing codes, that had nothing to do with the sensor that was bad. I wanted a device with some bi-directional capabilities, allowing me to activate sensors, relay/switches, etc. to better troubleshoot issues that I may have. You only need to download their XTOOL Anyscan app/software to your device (phone, tablet, etc), activate with the information given with the device (S/N & activate code), update any information that has come out (since the A30D was put in a box), plug the device into your vehicles OBD connector and connect to it via Bluetooth. You are ready to go! You don’t need Wi-Fi to use it on the vehicle (but it would help if you need to look up any information). The unit itself displays your battery voltage as soon as you plug it in, So you know, whether or not battery voltage is an issue before you even begin. This scanner allows me to be out of the vehicle, wirelessly. With the live data feature, you can be under the hood, make changes and see the results in real time. It tells me everything any of the sensors are reporting. It’ll even start the car, so you aren’t running back and forth! It allows me to graph multiple values (up to 8) at the same time, I can record the live values to review or compare to values after any changes have been made. With any of the “Special Features” you can reset/relearn the throttle body after a cleaning, rest TPMS, battery reset, abs bleeding (activates the abs pump to bleed the system thoroughly!), release the electric parking brake when replacing brakes, and a lot more. There are currently 19 “SpecialFeatures” but having a XTOOL scanner for a while now, I’m sure there will be more. They are constantly upgrading and adding to their program. Of course you can clear any codes, turn off the oil change light and any of the basic features any cheap scanner will do. With lifetime FREE updates, you don’t get roped into another subscription, which is nice! I’ve had questions in the past and they are quick to respond, so it’s not a case of you buy it and you’re on your own. They seem to be a company that really stands by their products. So far I’m very impressed with what this thing can do. I haven’t even gotten into everything yet but I look forward to hooking it back up and using (playing?) it some more!

So far so good, it's app it's quite easy to navigate, and provides a lot of information, the license does not expire, and the integration of a small lantern on the obd reader is a plus when working on the night or dark spaces, totally satisfied with it. The only con might be quality of the construction which doesn't feel as sturdy as some others, but for your average driver or occasional mechanic (DIY) it's a bang for the buck. The device is quite small and light, so it fits in any glovebox, but on my personal case that means it's prone to miss inside the car, so I just got a small specs case.

This is a great item. Needed it to do an ABS bleed fit a 2015 Buick Lacrosse. Super easy to use with a smart phone and tons of functionality. Really pleased with this purchase.

I've tried many an OBD-II scanner. From the first Bluetooth models that paired with Android Torque, to some of the newer dealer clones. I must say, this device shows great promise. The tech support is relatively responsive, depending on the time of day. There are a lot of language breaks in the software, but once you're used to those then you'll be working just fine. You WILL need quite a bit of space on your device if you want to download ALL of the manufacturer modules. Each car manufacturer has its' own download, along with some of the other functions having their own module. The software works pretty well, but definitely there's a lot of room for improvement. However, it's still a huge value. In testing my aunt's Lexus Hybrid, just connecting to the engine module and getting live data took about 60 seconds to pull all of the data. But there were seriously around 900 data points that were queried. This thing is seriously way beyond any scanner you've used before. It will connect to any number of independent systems in the car, provide live data for each, as well as scanning for fault codes not otherwise shown on generic scanners. The best part is that there are a ton of actuation tests that you can perform. But you must be careful with these, and make 100% sure you know what you're doing. You could definitely screw your vehicle up if you just go poking around and trying different actuation tests. Depending on which device you purchase (the devices themselves are identical) -- you'll get a license code that will enable certain of the special functions. If you plan to use on multiple cars, then get the most expensive one -- you'll get plenty of use out of it. Get yourself a good protective case for the unit also (it should come with one, seriously.). Save the tiny piece of paper that comes with it (or take a picture). Using an iPad is the optimal experience, but again you'll need a bunch of free space. I got free space errors even when I had 128GB free on my 256GB iPad so it can be finicky for some reason. If you have a technical mind then you will be in heaven with this device. With free lifetime updates, this is a major steal and you should jump on it now! I bought one for myself and one for my father. Don't wait... Just click and buy! You can always return it if you dislike it for some reason! (Plus it has a flashlight built into the adapter! Major WIN! LOL. The device is very well built and not flimsy feeling in the least bit). You can generate exports in PDF format of all of the data collected in live scans, but you cannot export raw data from a capture. This is the only big downside in my opinion. If you're trying to diagnose something and want to review live data, the best you'll get is reviewing it on-screen after recording. It even has space to enter your business details so they can be added into the PDF reports. Huge huge value, no kidding. I was not compensated or encouraged to leave this review. Good luck! --Josh

Sending back. Won't recognize my 2022 Kia Stingers VIN. Downloaded and installed 80+ updates and I still have to type in my car's VIN. And it won't do the one job I bought it for. To reset the TCU. You had one job.

This thing is pretty powerful to be so small. The Xtool Anyscan A30D is a Bluetooth device you plug into the OBDII Port of your car and connect to your phone or tablet using the Anyscan app. This little scanner scans all systems on all makes and models of vehicles. It performs 11 special functions or resets including BMS, Injector Coding, ABS Bleeding, SRS Reset, Steering Angle Sensor Adjust, Service/Maintenance Light Reset, Gearbox Match, EPB Reset, Gear Learning, DPF, and TPMS. All you do is download the software for the vehicles you have and for all the Special Functions you want or need. It not only finds the problems in your vehicles but it also gives detailed information about those problems. It allows you to take pictures or record the data from your vehicle to access later or to send to a email address. This little thing gives a lot of functionality and data for it's size and price. I leave it plugged into my car all the time and it never kills the battery, it doesn't even drain the battery at all. While it's plugged in it shows the voltage of the battery at all times on the front of the scanner. It does just as much if not more than most of those bigger scanners with screens on them. The software or app for phones and tablets is great and has a really nice setup. It looks just like the software on the big Xtool Scanners with screens built-in. Oh and it also has a built-in LED light that you turn on by holding in a hidden button on either side of the scanner. If your looking at this scanner and having a hard time trying to decide whether to get it or not then yes go ahead and get it. It's a great scanner!!!

This scanner has worked well for me. I have used it on three vehicles so far, including a 2018 Kia Sedona, where I was able to determine it needed an ABS pump using the diagnostic features. I have not experienced the connectivity issues others mention, though I do have to manually connect through the phone’s Bluetooth settings instead of relying on auto connect. My guess is some people are skipping that step and blaming the scanner. The scanner updates frequently, which is a big plus, especially since the updates are free. Overall, it has been reliable and useful, and I would buy it again without hesitation.

As a 40-something year old aspiring car mechanic (never going to happen), I'm very proud of the things I can change, fix, repair, and 'diagnose' on my cars. But, as the cars get smarter and I get a little older, the amount of help I need seems to increase year after year. I faced two problems with two different cars, an Acura TLX and, most recently, a Toyota Venza, where I needed some serious technical help- enter the A30D. First, I needed to complete the first brake replacement job on my Acura TLX. Fortunately, I research the repair/replace before I start and I learned that I needed a quality OBD device that can both read codes, and write data to the car's computer. Now, this was a little daunting and it was concerning that I would be writing to my car's computer. I wanted to make sure that I chose an ODB device that would do so safely and keep me out of trouble. I didn't have a boatload to pay for the device, so I was also concerned about the value of the device, not looking to spend more than a brake replacement job, and concerned that its value would only be for one this job. When I started my Amazon search, I found the A30D. There are a ton of ODB devices from which to choose and the A30D checked them all. It's a great value for the money because it will seemingly never be obsolete because it has LIFETIME updates (of which I update often!), it can read all of the particulars of my cars, and provide quality data feedback to me to help me understand what the car is trying to tell me in its cryptic-code language. But the killer feature of the A30D is the company's (XTOOL) technical support. Let me tell you, I ask a lot of questions and I'm very grateful for tech support that responds within a day, with helpful information, and really works to help me understand how the A30D can solve my problems. I purchased my A30D over a year ago for the Acura to provide me the ability to disable my e-brake for my brake job and the technical support was top-notch! They took my VIN numbers for both cars and confirmed that all of the necessary capabilities I needed where provided by the A30D. We must have gone back and forth over email for two weeks while they answered all my bothersome (my word, not theirs!) questions and they graciously helped me. Fast forward to today (2025) and I needed the A30D and their wonderful tech support to come through for me. My wife's car's TPMS sensor indicated that her tire(s) were low on pressure. Now, me being the mechanic that I am, I grabbed the tire pressure gauge and checked all of the tires. What do you know? They are all just fine! Well, the tires were fine, but thanks to my trusty A30D, I quickly learned that the car's computer was no longer receiving tire pressure updates from the tire pressure sensors. Okay, I now have this very helpful information and it's time to replace the 10 year old TPMS sensors whose batteries had clearly died. I did some research and learned that it's not exactly plug-and-play and I would need... wait for it... the A30D and their tech support to come through again. I needed a way to tell the car's computer the new serial numbers for the replacement TPMS sensors, otherwise the new sensors couldn't tell the car the tire pressure for each tire. Would the A30D and XTOOL tech support come through again? I quickly contacted the XTOOL tech support and posed the question, hoping I'd get lucky once again. Should I have been worried? Of course not. XTOOL tech support quickly replied that yes, absolutely, your A30D has your back and will be able to both reset the car's TPMS and configure your car's computer to use new TPMS sensors. How glorious is that? XTOOL tech support provided the step-by-step instructions, yet again! Although every single XTOOL customer service agent has been wonderful, I must give a shoutout to Phoebe at XTOOL. She was diligent in providing me assistance and following up to make sure my experience with those instructions was positive. XTOOL sets a high bar in quality car tech gear, coupled with high value customer service. I'd say I can't wait for the next time I need to use the A30D, but that means my car might have a problem. But I'm comforted by the tech support being there for me to help me fix my cars safely and correctly! I’ve attached a couple pictures of the TPMS diagnosis screen as they were very helpful!
