Excellent
Since receiving I have only tested basic features like scanning for error codes on a Volvo EX30, Fiat 500 and BMW F30 which this performed fine on all 3. It also allowed me to change parameters and code features like disabling stop start. Then out of no where my F30 kept going into limp mode and I used this to attempt to diagnose the issue. Codes were pointing to a fuel pump issue but it was a rather generic code (the fault of BMW not the scanner) but I was then able to monitor the live readings of the HPFP and it was clear that was at fault. Let my garage know and they confirmed it and so saved me a diagnostics charge. A really brilliant tool for those who are repairing cars as a hobby/living.

High quality diagnostic tool
The Thinkcar ThinkScan 689 a must have tool for car enthusiasts and professionals alike. Its advanced functionality picks up issues cheaper scanners miss, such as detecting a glow plug problem in my Peugeot - The bidirectional capability allows you to perform active tests and send commands to vehicle systems. - With WiFi for effortless updates, an inbuilt Chrome browser for instant fault research, and the ability to email reports directly from the unit, it's a real time-saver. - The touchscreen is responsive, the VIN scan works flawlessly, and the battery life is excellent. - Overall, a top-quality tool with a robust build, steering wheel hanger, and a protective case for storage and transport. Lifetime updates included, making it a worthy investment for any car tinkerer.

Good fault finder
Really brilliant diagnostic kit. East to plug and play. Options to identify car make and model. Brought up old cleared faults as well as new faults linked to the engine management light that annoyingly appeared on our Mercedes. Worked out quickly what it was linked to, save a very expensive garage trip. I havent had much comparison to alternative products but I was very pleased at the user friendly interface and the design and build of the device itself. Comes in a nice carry case too

Totally useful device whether you fix it your self or delegate to someone trained on it
Thinkcar ThinkScan 689 OBD2 Scanner: This will do more than just scan the car and list some codes for you and in the long run you will thank yourself for investing in it and your knowledge. It is a rough and ready device that is both small but large enough to have a lot of data on the screen at the same time. Where some people may use a laptop this comes in as an easier to handle alternative. I've used it on a Honda Civic and an M4 and I am waiting to see if I can get my hands on a truck to try the device on that too. Each operation has gone smoothly with no faults in the device itself. It has however found faults, and what I couldn't resolve myself, I felt better knowing that I had the details to be more specific at the garage. Having owned many BMW's my biggest issue with them is that one problem can multiply the number of faults pinging at you and depending on where you go for advice, you could end up down the wrong rabbit hole trying to fix something that doesn't need fixing. With this device I am pretty much getting right to the meat of things and leaving the bones well alone.

Professional-Grade Bidirectional OBD2 Scanner with Outstanding Features
The Thinkcar ThinkScan 689 is clearly designed with professional auto mechanics and repair shops in mind, but it can also be a fantastic tool for serious DIY mechanics who have the knowledge to use its wide range of functions. For the average non-specialist user, much of the advanced functionality would likely go unused, but for those with the skills to utilise it, this scanner is an incredibly powerful piece of kit. What sets it apart from budget scanners is the sheer amount of information it provides. It picked up a glow plug issue on my 2017 BMW X6 that cheaper scanners had completely missed(something only ista reported). The bidirectional capability is a real game changer, allowing you to not only read data but also perform active tests and send commands to vehicle systems. The WiFi makes software updates effortless, and the ability to email reports directly from the scanner is a huge time-saver. The inbuilt Chrome browser is another handy addition, letting you quickly search for additional fault code details without needing a separate device. The VIN scan worked flawlessly every time, and the touchscreen is responsive and fluid. Practical touches include a robust design with impact protection, a hanger for the steering wheel, and a well-designed case that keeps the unit, charging cable and documents safe. Battery life is excellent, with convenient USB-C charging. Add to that lifetime free updates, and it’s a tool that will keep delivering long-term value. Pros Targeted at professionals but suitable for knowledgeable DIY mechanics WiFi makes updates quick and easy Can email reports directly from the unit Inbuilt Chrome browser for instant fault research Much more detail than budget scanners Detected faults cheaper scanners missed (e.g. BMW X6 glow plug issue) Bidirectional functionality is a real game changer Excellent battery life with USB-C charging Lifetime updates included Robust build with impact protection and steering wheel hanger Protective case for storage and transport VIN scan worked with 100% success Smooth, responsive touch screen Cons None

In dieser Preisklasse absolut TOP. Kann zuverlässig Fehler auslesen und (wenn behoben) auch löschen. Des Weiteren können auch Live-Daten ausgelesen werden und Aktoren bzw. ein Betätigungstest durchgeführt werden, kann je nach Fahrzeug und Hersteller variieren. Auch die Anlern-Funktionen klappen (Getestet bei Drosselklappe und Rückstellung elek. Handbremse) oder Parameter ändern (z.B. Verriegelung nach Fahrtbeginn aktivieren und deaktivieren. Vorteil der Kabelgebundenen Variante... Sollte mal der Akku leer sein, kann man die Versorgung über die OBD Schnittstelle vom Fahrzeug sicherstellen. Habe alles mögliche mal bei folgenden Fahrzeugen ausprobiert und es hat auch funktioniert. -Toyota Avensis 2006 -Hyundai Tuscan 2015 -Kia Ceed PHEV 2021 -BMW E46 2005 -BMW E88 2010 -MB V177 2020 -Audi A5 F5 2017 -Nissan Almera N16 2002. Denke mal das dieses Diagnosetool 95% der meisten Anwendungen für freie Werkstätten und Garage Engineers abdeckt. Die anderen 5% müssen deutlich tiefer in die Tasche. Klare Kaufempfehlung👍👍👍👍👍

Gute Verarbeitung, erkennt so ziemlich alle gängigen Autohersteller. Steuergeräte lassen sich auslesen, ansteuern. Kostenlose Updates. Für Hobbymechaniker völlig ausreichend.
