Wireless OBD2 Scanner for Android & iPhone, XTOOL Anyscan A30M V2.0 2025 Bidirectional Scan Tool with Free Updates, All System, 23 Resets, CANFD, FCA, Crank Sensor Relearn, Upgraded Ver. of A30

I purchased the Xtool A30M after researching a number of scan tools in the $500 - $800 price range, and quickly learned that for my car, they performed essentially the same tests and functions as the A30M. I used my newly purchased A30M with my inexpensive 10" tablet and was pleasantly surprised with all of the capabilities that were available for my Hyundai Sonata. Most importantly, it allowed me to troubleshoot and determine which of two keyless system modules was defective, causing my car's keyless entry/start system's failure. Interestingly, two local Hyundai service departments quoted $225 - $250 just to scan my car's OBII network!After the A30M displayed three DTC's for the module causing the keyless system's failure, I explored all of the other system tests and functions available for my car. Quite frankly, I was surprised with the myriad of tests, diagnostics, and data available; everything including engine performance and efficiency, transmission performance, anti-pollution system performance, SRS data, turbocharger data, lighting operation, accessory performance, and much more.While using the tool, I especially appreciated its time saving automatic VIN ID capability, its wireless connectivity which allowed me to monitor bi-directional tests while outside of the vehicle, and a handy report generating feature which automatically saves the scan results to memory and allows for hardcopy report printing.All in all, the A30M proved to be an amazing technology packed, easy to use diagnostic tool, at a very low price!In my opinion, this powerful tool is an absolute must-have for automotive DIY'ers, technicians, and professionals as well.Of course a huge bonus of owning this diagnostic tool is the free updates which are frequent. Other scan tools usually charge hundreds of dollars each year for updates. For me, buying Xtool's A30M was a no brainer, and I know that I'll be using it for years to come because today's vehicles are loaded with failure prone electronic modules and controllers that require a professional grade scan tool like the A30M to troubleshoot.Thanks Xtool for a genuinely great product!

I'm not going to comment on the other 2 brands of scanners that I purchased before the Xtool as I have written reviews already for them , they were 2 of the popular brands.. Feel free to look at my other reviews to see why I was disappointed and ended up returning them . Had I known how Xtool was going to be, I would have started with them first.Here are the requirements that I had for a scanner when I started the hunt.Support for detailed diagnosis capability on2004 Jeep WJ Grand Cherokee2012 Jeep MK Compass2018 Subaru Outback 2.52018 Volvo XC90 t5I also wanted active functions to release the EPB on the 2, 2018 vehicles that were equipped with EPB. Backing off the EPB is required in order to replace brake pads. I also wanted ABS bleed functionality where available since getting old fluid or air out of ABS is a bit of a pain without being able to activate the ABS pump. I wanted to view detailed live data for all vehicles.My initial search focused on handheld scanners that had their own screen and I wanted to keep it under $500 . The first device from Xtool that I was focused on the was the D7 and then I came across the A30M . I read some reviews and reached to support to confirm functionality for my VINs. Support has been terrific and far better than the other 2 companies I had previously bought scanners from. Once it was determined that the A30M would work for me I purchased. It arrived in 2 days. Here is the beauty of the A30M that got me away from the need for a device with a screen. The Anyscan app includes lifetime updates and it works on anything running Android 5 and above. This allowed me to bust out an ancient 7 year old Samsung 10" tablet that was on the shelf and use it as a dedicated garage tablet. Honestly, this tablet was on it's way to the recycling pile before I found a way to reuse it. I know, android 5 is probably security swiss cheese at this point. I just created a dedicated Google account for the garage and have that on the tablet so there is nothing sensitive there.The Anyscan app is large , 1.1gb, and the updates are even larger. It takes a while to download all of the updates but this is no different than pulling updates for any other scanner brand. Since I had limited storage on the Samsung tablet I just downloaded the common updates for things like ABS, fuel, SAS, etc along with vehicle specific updates for vehicles I regularly work on . There are certain vehicle brands that I will never work on but it's good to know I could download Lamborghini if I ever needed to.After being burned by the 2 other scanner brands I went right to work testing the A30M on my 4 vehicles. I am happy to report that it does everything I need . Every function isn't available on every vehicle but that is with all scanners. I had over 20 back and forth emails with support over various features for the D7 as well as the A30M to check their availability for my vehicles. The emails were all followed up with overnight and there was a clear answer to my question. I've seen some reviews that have complaints about the speed of the scanner. Being that I have a 14 year span of the vehicles at my house I can tell you that the speed of the computer in the vehicle is the issue, not the scanner. Scanning my 2018 vehicles is zippy quick, even for live data. My 2004 Jeep, I honestly thought the app had frozen but it took over a minute to pull live data. This was repeatable across all 3 scanners I have tried.In conclusion, if you are looking for a portable scanner with no subscription fees that can be used across multiple vehicles and even multiple tablets/phones this is the winner. It's also great to know that their is reliable and friendly support available if you need it. A must have for DIY garage
