I bought a Topscan Lite scanner several months ago. Overall, I like it, and for the price the value is fantastic. It's a great choice for a DIYer who works on multiple vehicle brands.
IMO the best features of the tool are:
- Access to all modules for reading and clearing DTCs and reading live data
- The user interface is easy to navigate and the reports are professional and easy to read
- Topdon Support is excellent
- Great value for the price
Negatives:
- The tool stopped working for a couple of weeks; it would not connect to any of the vehicles I tried to use it on (Topdon had a notice out that they were working on their servers during that time)
- Relatively few resets / special functions
- I found it to be missing some bidirectional controls that I would have liked to have had
- Requires an active subscription for all functions other than genericic OBD
I recently upgraded my subscription to Topscan Pro, which was very easy. I can now use T-Darts for testing keys, immobilizer antennas, etc., which is very handy.
