CarPal-A OBD2 Code Reader Bluetooth, All System OBD2 Scanner for iOS & Android, Vehicle Health Check, 6 Maintenance Services, Smog Check, Repair Guide, 1 Year Free Update

Having experienced a few faults with my aging Ford Focus - blinking warning lights all over the display console - I was struggling to keep my cool; one day, it was the yellow MIL warning, next day it was a 'Transmission Failure' and the next day it was battery indication showing failure. Faced with the prospect of taking the car to a dealer and paying up to £100 for an analytical scan, I decided to plug in the new Topdon OB2 Tester. Simple to use - a delight to use, actually - it booted up from the get-go, told me what the faults were, and cleared all the fault codes, with ample aplomb. I'm not too technical-minded, but the Topdon had so much information built-into its system that it's a gizmo you can use straight from the box. It's so impressive for numpties like me, and the information it relayed as to the state of the car's systems was displayed in a suitably understandable and user-friendly manner. There's just too much for me to go into detail, but I guess most users will use it for OBD Fault Code identification and clearance - and the Topdon does a fantastic job at both. There's so much more: data regarding your own car that you can download and read; maintenance help and suggestions; and a whole plethora of related info that is specific to your car - right down to the VIN number. Sure, an information leaflet comes with the Topdon, but to be honest, guys (and gals) you won't need it; just plug and play. The Focus, cured of all Code Faults, ran for another week or so, then started displaying flashing lights again; narrowing down the cause, I suspected the soldered joints at back of the display unit were compromised (a common Focus glitch) and, sure enough, after re-soldering the offending items, it was back to normal again. But the Topdon again earned its stripes by clearing remaining Fault Codes caused by the glitch. It's as small as a cigarette packet, as light as a feather, and fits in your glovebox, pocket, wherever. Take it with you, fix your car's faults without paying exorbitant garage fees, and never look back. Foolproof, essential, and up to the usual Topdon quality standards - which I swear by. This tool, worth its weight in gold, and a lifesaver if you ever get stuck out in the countryside with a Fault Code, should be part of everyman's tool kit. It talks to a mobile phone or laptop, using Bluetooth, so the information is clearly readable and acted upon, and I would give this tool a 5/5 score for quality, usefulness and instantaneous results. Get one, you won't regret it. Giving it a high score is easy enough, as such Topdon products seem to be perfection in what they do. Quality: 10/10 Usefulness: 10/10 Handiness: 10/10

Great device, worked first time, app easy to download and instructions easy to follow, reset oil service light and checked all systems on Dacia quickly and accurately, where non dealer service operators failed to do. Worth every bit of price, couldn't recommend more, thank you.

Took a bit of time to download required info and software but works fine. Still working it out but seems a good piece of kit

Anyone looking for a cheap little diagnostic tool needs to look no further. IF you are a car enthusiast or a DIYer working on your own car then the Carpal from Topdon is absolutely spot on. The scan tool is a little dongle that goes into the EOBD port, then everything else is done via an app on your phone. The interface is easy to use and features plenty of useful information. It has a DLC location menu, which shows the location the the DLC connector. TSB information, search the manufacturer and select which system you want the Technical Service Bulletins for, which can really help with some diagnostics. A warning light library, which allows you to select a particular warning light and gives information on possible issues causing the light to illuminate. And a DTC search option. This is brilliant. Scan your car via the app, retrieve the codes, then use this menu to find what the code means. In here it gives information on reported fixes and tips on how to diagnose it. Connectivity is quick and easy, however, you need to register to Topdon, so once you have plugged in the dongle and got it connected, create an account which is quick and easy, then once the vehicle VIN is selected it downloads the software needed to perform the all the tasks, I had to go back in the house on the WiFi as it was over 800mb and taking a while to download. Once done, everything was quick and easy to use and navigate. I was really impressed with the performance of such a little tool and the app is brilliant. Quick and easy to use etc. It is a shame you can only use it on 3 vehciles, but if you are looking for a cheap diagnostic tool that packs a punch and you are on a budget, this tool is ideal, especially if you want it for your own car. Its small enough to fit in the glovebox so if you're ever on a journey and get any warning lights illuminate on the dash, it will only take a minute and you will have the information required as to what is potentially wrong. Overall I think the value for money is really good and like I said, if you are looking for a cheap tool for your own personal use on your own car (or 3) then this tool is spot on. Well done Topdon

Excellent piece of kit. Bought it to reset my BMS after installing a new battery on my Mercedes E-Class. All worked fine and easy to navigate. Only negative comment is the need to pay an annual subscription for some of the functions after the first 12 months.

Excelente lector OBD2. La conexión por Bluetooth es rápida y estable, y la aplicación es muy intuitiva incluso para quienes no tienen mucha experiencia en diagnosis. Detecta los fallos al instante, permite borrar errores y ver datos en tiempo real sin problemas. Lo he probado en varios coches y ha funcionado perfectamente en todos. Es muy cómodo al ser pequeño y no llevar cables, ideal para llevarlo siempre en el coche. La calidad de los materiales se nota y la app ofrece bastante información útil. Muy buena relación calidad-precio. Recomendable tanto para usuarios particulares como para quien quiera una diagnosis básica y fiable sin gastar mucho.

Werkt wel goed. Beperkte mogelijkheden. Lang en vaak langzaam downloaden van data voordat voertuig uit kan lezen en resetten. Dpf reset en regen mogelijk. Een jaar ondersteuning voor 3 voertuigen dan opnieuw betalen. Ik zou voor mijn 1.5 hdi meer uit willen/moeten lezen en zal iets anders kopen.

Good product for this money warth it, even more.

I'm writing this review to let other future customers know about this product because like me I was a bit skeptical about purchasing it. First I would like to make a comment about the software for the device. I appreciate how well the software is laid out and extremely easy to use especially for someone who has not used a Bluetooth scan tool before. So for beginners using this product there is no need to question how to use the program and tool. The way the app is set up you are able to find and do everything easily because of how simple and straightforward the controls are. On to the next subject. With this tool you have the capability of selecting 3 vehicles at a time to record your data for personal records. What I love about it, is that the app gives you a status of your vehicle depending on various codes that it comes up with for your vehicle. If you have more than three vehicles you are able to delete one or two or all of them and add more. But currently it keeps data for the three most current vehicles that you do a status check on. Using the app it has some very nice features. What I really enjoyed was the performance test. It will show you data like 0-60 times and what your horsepower is at. That's alot of fun. I found that the battery test function is very useful when it comes to checking the quality of your battery, they did a very good job at giving you an accurate reading of your battery status. Using the HUD function was pretty interesting as I have used it for the first time with my vehicle. The program runs very nicely and pretty cool to use. Connecting to the Bluetooth receiver after opening up the app was a no brainer and I had zero issues with using the device and app. The speed of the app moved pretty quickly but I'm sure that's phone dependent, but on my end I was never frustrated at the times that it took to scan the vehicle. The app has a live data option for various computers in the vehicle. On that subject I will say some parameters I was not able to see, but that could be dependent on vehicle. The bottom line is that if you want a very good scan tool that you're able use easily and have some fun functions along the way I'd highly suggest this product.

Excellent appareil , pour ma Peugeot 2008 phase 2 Diesel le voyant manque d'AdBlue restait allumé avec le défaut moteur et la clé pour intervenir, mon garage étant en panne de valise je me suis rabattu sur cet appareil qui en 2 mns Chrono a solutionné mon problème. Après avoir branché l'appareil sur la fiche Diag. de la voiture avec la clé de contact allumé pour mettre en route le lecteur de code il suffit de mettre la langue adéquate, de faire un diag des erreurs et cliquer sur la fonction effacer les codes erreurs pour que ça marche. Attention la manipulation se fait clé de contact insérée mais en position off, une fois l'effaçage des codes effectué les voyant s'éteignent et il suffit d'allumer le contact pour le dernier voyant.
