Topdon Carpal Diagnostic Dongle Review

It would be interesting to hear what you think of the Xtool A30M dongle if you could get your hands on one.

Ediag plus is a good tool for the money by kingbolen around 100 quid

Someone not as knowledgeable as you could be confident from it battery okay and it’s not going to overheat either. DPF lifespan of 190k isn’t bad. Only you know if was worth purchasing and fixing.

Not a very good tool , had one worked for a while the stopped, poor back up , don’t waste your money

Yep car warmed up .... easily fixable ....... in other words, owner trying to get rid of vehicle without spending more than it's worth. I was honestly looking at this tool but it just seems frustratingly slow to use. Thanks for the honest review.

I use vGate iCar Pro as an OBD2 dongle with Car Scanner application. It works perfectly with very little latency.

Torque pro and and ebay dingle for a fiver will read most codes. A launch 129 evo is a handy carry in your boot.

I have the top don Topscan. Great bit of kit at a cheap price. £50 a year subscription. I’m happy.

“Could be easy fix if you know what you’re doing”
“Cheap, if it’s not gone by 4 days away I’ll fix it/mot it and put it up for more”

When he took the hat off he disappeared 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Why remove comments answering a question and then fail to answer the question yourself Jimmy.

Does it work in tunnels?

Probably OK for Joe at home fir just over 30 quid Jimmy 👍

The cheapest bi directional tool that does most of what anyone would want is around £260. Anything cheaper than that and its almost guaranteed it wont have the features that are needed.

I'd be interested if there was a Launch version of this maybe....

Did you buy it? (The car I mean?)

Not impressed with that, or any of the dongle tools I’ve seen.

Seems very slow .

Hi Jimmy.
Could you please give me the address of contact number for 🙏 Launch dpf cleaner supplier in ireland 🇮🇪 🙏 🙏 Google failed to locate the O'brien supplier you mentioned.
Thanks a million in advance

Just a convenient pocket version of the low end wired scan tool really.
As with anything auto diagnostics related, you get what you pay for.
Like you said, it's really a get you home tool in an emergency if the EM light comes on.

What am struggling to understand is how a main dealer reanult can't fix a Renault traffick with a check injection system put on a new turbo exhaust sensor oil sensor and egr gasket it's not the obd readers it's just the people using them lol

Doesn't every tailpipe get sooty instantly?

is there a subscription to use all the functions with carplan tool? thanks

Not overly impressed with that one...
