A Professional auto mechanic reviews a scan tool that is very capable and very comparable with the OEM scan tools but it’s a budget one that typically is a lot more expensive for it’s capabilities.
In this video we’ll take a look at the XTOOL D7 scan tool. Most people would look at this scan tool on amazon and think boy here’s another generic looking scan tool that can’t do much and cost a fortune. This is where we’re wrong. This is a very impressive scan tool feature wise I think it super justifies It’s price as it can pay for itself with a couple of uses saving you having to pay a shop to use their expensive scan tool.

If you are not a DIY mechanic or don’t want to really dig into heavy diagnosis, Then this scan tool is overkill. Stick with blue driver or Carista and you’ll be good. If you do your own repairs but find yourself always going to a shop because the simple scanner you got is incapable then this is a good option for you.
This scan tool is not cheap, but for what it’s capable of doing it is a very good value.

Can this scan tool work like Toyota Techstream to do things like automatic steering wheel movement on a Lexus?
Awesome tool, wish i can afford it. lol

Thank you for the review? Researching a bit more but do you know if this tool also allows you to enter a a new vin on ecm pcm?
Hi I have subbed. One day can you use this tool and do a 2021 4 runner transmission fluid change. Really appreciate your channel
Hi ! I will be buying a used car in Chicago over the weekend. First-time buyer here. Do you have any suggestions of where I can do an inspection and/or the safety test?
One more question. Is there a memory card slot to expand the tool memory?
If you change the ECU can this tool be used to enter the VIN in the new ECU and enable the immobilizer?
Thank you for the video. I was wondering if they make a Bluetooth adapter for the D7 ? Then you can do away with the cable
