Even so, deciding which tool best serves your needs can require a little research.
Two popular mid-level diagnostic tools that cover a lot of ground are TOPDON’s ArtiDiag900 Lite and the UltraDiag. Both are easy to navigate and offer full system diagnostics and advanced features, yet each offers distinct advantages.
The ArtiDiag900 Lite is a well-rounded and affordable option for professionals and DIYers alike. It has an 8-inch display, 2g of RAM and 32g of ROM. Its features include Bidirectional control, OBDII code reading ability, read and clear DTCS, special function abilities, AutoVIN and AutoScan. A handy feature of both the ArtiDiag900 Lite and the UltraDiag is a magnetic VCI attachment, ensuring that the VCI remains securely in place. The ArtiDiag900 Lite has 8 service functions and full system diagnostics for 60+ car brands.
The UltraDiag builds on those abilities with full system diagnostics for 70+ brands and 30 service functions, including injector coding, TPMS Reset, Sunroof Initialization, Seats calibration and Windows calibration. It also adds key programming abilities for Domestic and Asian vehicles to your toolkit. Functions include PIN reading, key learning, remote control learning, and all keys lost.
“The UltraDiag is lightning fast, highly ruggedized, and receives continuous updates to optimize and improve functionality every day,” said Haakan Light, TOPDON National Training and Development Manager. The open Android format for the UltraDiag allows users to “side load” Android APK files which allows greater customization and utilization. The HDMI port is convenient for professionals who like to put content on a bigger screen.
The UltraDiag platform can host any other TOPDON apps. For owners and users of TOPDON tools like battery testers, thermal imagers, and more, the cross-compatibility of the UltraDiag is extremely convenient.
“We are a small college in Texas, and we bought this for our facilities team automotive repair shop,” reported Zach H. in his review of the UltraDiag on TOPDON’s website. “This diagnostic reader has been a game changer for our shop, allowing us to get our team’s vehicles fixed and back in action faster to serve our students.”
Whichever tool you select, both come with two years of free software updates, so you’ll always be on top of the situation. With a little information and study, you’ll select the perfect TOPDON diagnostic tool that will be earning its keep in no time.
