Anyscan A30D OBD2 Scanner Diagnostic Tool - Bidirectional Scan Tool Wireless - Lifetime Updates & 19 Resets Crank Sensor EPB Throttle Relearn - Full System Car Code Reader for iPhone & Android

The XTOOL Anyscan A30D OBD2 Scanner is a solid, affordable tool that’s easy to use and quick to set up. Registration and software download through the app were seamless—just create an account, enter the activation code, and you’re ready to go within minutes. The app is clean, intuitive, and handles updates automatically. One thing I really appreciate is the fast scanning speed. It connects quickly via Bluetooth and pulls codes and system data without lag, which makes diagnostics much more efficient. It also works well with Genesis vehicles, with stable connectivity and access to multiple modules. Most importantly, it supports electronic parking brake (EPB) service functions, which was a key reason I chose it. That makes brake jobs much easier without needing a more expensive scan tool. Overall, great value for the features—especially if you need bi-directional control and reliable EPB functionality.

I recently purchased the Xtool Anyscan A30D OBD2 Scanner Diagnostic Tool. I installed the application on my phone. Connection is simplistic. Plug the scanner into the vehicle with the key on and not running. Scanner should light up with real time voltage indicated in the LED display. Using your phone's blue tooth setting attached to the scanner via the phone's blue tooth. Scanner will beep once connected. You can then run an automatic scan in the application. It will find the vehicles and its modules. Telling you if modules are ok or faulted. Interface is simplistic and easy to navigate. Information is really quite extensive for the price. I was even able to read some settings on my Volvo my friend's 900 dollar scanner was not able to. It has saved me much time and money in helping diagnose some of my vehicles. Resetting faults I would have previously not been able to. I was even able to diagnose an ABS issue with the front wheel speed sensor faulting on my Volvo. I replaced the sensor which even told me which wheel it was coming from. The live data I have found is very handy. I am very pleased with the item and would definitely purchase it again. One last item. There is no monthly subscription for application.

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!

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

I bought the A30D mainly for traveling in case of check engine light. I wanted to be able to see engine temp, oil temp, trans temp, engine oil pressure or any other PID's that would leave me stranded. My 2020 Ford Edge dosen't show the TCM module and my 2025 Ford Maverick shows nothing. the Maverick shows some PIDs using OBD button. To call them is like about $.50 a minute being in the UK. I tried the chat with us and it fell on "deaf ears", but I did get a 100 points to use. I bought this in the beginng of March plugged it in downloaded software to make sure it worked which it did and packed it away until later. I been trying this week to see what it will do and have found that I have been had. UPDATE: I've been trying to work with these people from 4-24-26 to 4-30-26 on text message that may go though every other day and appear to of been ghosted. I finally got some response which was the device dosen't support my vin and contact Amazon. I had already contacted Amazon and they took the device back no problem. Thank you Amazon for your customer service!

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!

I got this for when I cannot have a larger scanner on hand. (traveling) It has worked well for vehicles I have tested. I did Not have any trouble connecting it to a Samsung tablet. Steps: Plug the dongle into the port, Shows Battery voltage, also the dongle red light is on at the end, then open tablet- click on Anyscan app, Dongle Blue light turns on, then turn on the car key, green light on dongle flashing, now connected. Does not show a lot of functions for older vehicles, pre-2000. On a 99 dodge, shows less than a cheap reader does. And only reads my PCM, no transmission or Anti-lock brakes. (But mine are only rears) It did show more on a Saturn. What I liked is it show fuel tank pressure and can run some EVAP tests. Runs most of the mode 6 tests too. that's a nice feature to see if there are any problems there. Have also tested on a ford explorer, which was a 2015 so there were lots of features/tests available for that model. For me, it has been great so far. 1 problem I do have is the delete function. I can delete models, but they still show up to redownload in the updates. I would think they would completely go away if you didn't want them. My only complaint so far.

Husband absolutely loves it. It tells you everything wrong with the car, even what’s going bad but isn’t bad yet. He did lots of research before choosing and I was skeptical cause it was cheaper then some but actually turned out very perfect. He even connects it to his tablet for live data and reports. Took him seconds to set up. Doesn’t seem to have any connectivity issues and did explain why our check engine light was on, why the car kept stalling and confirmed parts we already knew were going bad like the converters etc.

received used. Not happy.
