ArtiDiag900 Lite

“Great platform. The updates are a bit annoying and long if there’s A LOT. I wish they offered the same diagnostic features for each manufacturer platform. Connecting is easy. Use is easy. Live data is great and accurate. compatibility is great. Like most diag tools, common sense and basic knowledge is a must. Diagnostics are clear and reliable. Easy to understand and operate. It’s seen a lot of use with no sign of slowing down. Great for at home diagnosing and testing. Only complaint is needing an SD card after a while to just run the program and all the updates. No issues with the wireless OBD2. Connects everytime. It is a bit annoying having to sign in more often to get into the actual app. But other than that, this compares to a lot of the “higher end” name brand products that offer the same diagnostic features.”

“I would give this scanner six stars if an option was available. Have been using multiple different types of scanners over the years as a shade tree mechanic, but wanted one that was wireless and bidirectional. Thanks to the folks at Royalty Auto and their video reviews and recommendations, I decided on this TOPDON. Glad I did! Quality is great, solid case and display. OBD2 Wireless Plug-in adapter stores neatly in the back of the scanner and works flawlessly. Unit was easy to do initial setup and software updates. Actually first used it on my neighbors BMW 740l to do a service reset and new battery replacement and registration in the system. (Didn’t know that was a thing!? lol) He and I were both blown away at how quickly this scanner auto recognized the vehicle and established comms. It took no time to reset his service intervals and do the BMS battery maintenance/replacement systems update. Simply blown away. Plugged it into his GMC Yukon Denali next and it just as quickly went through that vehicle’s systems. Even has the option to adjust the air ride suspension settings with this scanner. Absolutely blown away for the capabilities at this price point. It runs Android 11 and can be used as a regular touch screen tablet as well, along with having a camera. Mind blown. Don’t hesitate to buy if considering.”

“This little guy rocks! I saw Royalty Auto use Topdon scanners and saw how cheap this one was and really needing a bi-directional these days I figured to give it a shot and impressive is an understatement. So for cheap option comparision sakes I’m putting it up against my shops A***l scanner. First and foremost is the wireless adapter that magnets to the back of the scanner that easily pops out for usage but strong enough to stay in during a drop. Then comes the awesome ability to bypass the diagnostic side and jump right into the maintenance functions, which for oil, EPB and EPS/ADAS speeds up so much process time. The constant updates are usually quick and pain free. I will say this one downside, SD card is going to be needed immediately after purchase because of the storage load for each manufacturer update. Other than that, this thing is the best bang for your buck.”

“In short, seriously it's a complete tool for diagnosing the health of a car ODB!! Even the most recalcitrant won't be able to hide anything from you! Having tested it on different ranges of vehicles from the oldest to those of today, I know everything!!! However, be careful not to change the “deep” settings without specialized knowledge!”

“As soon as you turn on the device, you are on a slightly modified Android interface. The diagnosis is carried out in the Topdon app, but there are also many other apps available and you can use the Internet as usual.
When you start a diagnosis, there are various functions, including reading out live data, which I briefly show in the video. In addition, you can read and delete error codes. If an error is detected, one click takes you directly to a web search with instructions for resolving the problem, suitable for the respective car model.”

“I am amazed by the TOPDON ArtiDiag900 Lite automotive diagnostic tool, the favorite in my collection at work. It is a powerful and versatile tool that can be used to diagnose and repair a wide range of vehicles. I have been using it for a few weeks now and I have been very impressed with its performance.”
