XTOOL IP616 Bidirectional Scan Tool, Full Systems OBD2 Scanner, 34+ Resets

Excellent, more than what i need.

I purchased the Xtool IP616 about a week ago because I wanted a dedicated scanner for the garage. This allows me to keep my Xtool A30M (which has been great so far) in the car with me, since it’s a small OBD II dongle. It's very handy to have when you’re away from home and don’t have a full-size diagnostic tool with you! So far, the IP616 has been a very capable scanner. At this price point, I don’t think you can do any better. Consider these points: 1. Bi-directional Control: This is necessary for testing components like window switches, headlights, and purge valves. 2. Free Lifetime Updates: Most high-end scanners require a yearly subscription for updates, which can cost hundreds of dollars. This scanner includes free lifetime updates! 3. 34 Special Functions: These range from standard oil service resets to programming keys and certain modules. 4. Live Data Graphing: The ability to graph up to 8 data PIDs on one screen is a huge bonus. Being able to watch things like fuel trims and O2 sensors in real time makes diagnosis much easier. 5. Data Export: It has the ability to record data and export it to a CSV file, which is incredibly handy for reviewing data later and pinpointing exactly when an intermittent issue occurs. 6. AI Diagnostics: Having integrated AI to help diagnose an issue—or even explain how and where to find a fix—could be really helpful. I haven’t had a chance to use this feature yet, but I look forward to checking it out. 7. Endoscope Compatibility: I understand that this will work with their XV200 endoscope, which can be extremely helpful when you need to look inside a cylinder wall or confirm a valve is operating properly. There are a few things it doesn’t have, like a topology map. That is a nice feature to have, but it's hardly necessary at this price. So far, I have tested this on my 2021 VW ID.4, my 2008 Chevrolet Silverado, and a friend's 2018 Ford F350 Powerstroke. None of these vehicles currently have any issues, but I was able to get into all the modules and perform bi-directional testing—except on the VW. The ID.4 features Volkswagen's "SFD" protected gateway, which requires an unlock to access advanced module controls. However, I was still able to scan for codes and confirm basic operations on it. For instance, I could verify the window switch was working by looking at live data to see the switch engage, even if I couldn’t use bi-directional control to roll the window down. (Being an EV, I doubt I would be diagnosing much beyond a window switch or a parking sensor anyway!) As I said earlier, you’d be hard pressed to find a more capable scanner at twice this price. Plus, Xtool has great customer service and support. What more could you ask for?

Not for Indian cars

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent diagnostic scanner I’ve tested the XTOOL IP616 on multiple vehicles, including a Volvo, a Vauxhall Vivaro van, and a Mini Cooper S, and it performed flawlessly on each one. It quickly read and cleared fault codes, successfully carried out an oil service reset, and even reset an AdBlue warning light on the Vivaro after it failed to clear automatically following a refill. The touchscreen is responsive, the menus are easy to navigate, and the diagnostics are fast and comprehensive. Overall, it feels like a high-quality, professional diagnostic tool that offers excellent value for money. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.
