  • Worth every penny!!!
I love this thing. It's worth every penny. I went to go buy a vehicle, and I always scan with my regular cheap 49$ scanner. This time, I brought this. I'll let you know, it's a little slow. But, I did do a full system scan and it produced AMAZING results. I was able to isolate every engine, transmission, BCM trouble code. Given the amount of money I was going to pay for this vehicle, I gladly passed on it. So, this thing saved me from buying a 60K car that probably needed 10K in repairs. It also does certain things that most home mechanics cannot do. Like being able to release brakes for newer vehicles while performing break maintenance, recalibration of things like the throttle position sensor, windows, cloning/programming key fobs, and many other fantastic things normal people don't have the ability to do, and mechanics have to pay thousands per year to be able to do. Anyways, in my opinion, this might be the BEST deal on the market. ... show more

  • Nice affordable bidirectional scanner
Best bidirectional scan tool for the money it was brand new in the box with a security seal comes in a nice protective carry case it has so many vehicles and options some functions doesn't work on certain vehicles on this device but think car has a built in support to report and fix issues in the system you just have to have it connected to WiFi it has free lifetime updates unlike most of the bidirectional scanners it's speed is quite quick when operating scans it's fairly easy to use if you're familiar with bidirectional scanners for the price it was worth it ... show more

  • Inconsistent data streams
I bought this product hoping it would work, however what I found was just the opposite. When I plugged this in to my 2000 f350, the auto vin search didn't work, so I entered the information manually, (not a big deal). I went to actuations (which is the bidirectional part or tests that this tool claims it can do), "not supported" was the message that came up. Which is a real bummer, cause that reduces this unit to nothing more than something that can read live data streams, which is helpful but severely cripples is usefulness. Next I went to live data streams on the PCM. What i found is the data streams where inconsistent. They would spike up, down, or drop out when viewing them. The pictures show this. The pickup is idling during all this with no check engine light on, running good. This is my daily driver. If you look at the pictures you'll notice that two of the data streams are engine oil temp. and transmission fluid temp., both of which is impossible to spike like that. Also note that I have other scanners that show no spikes in these streams at all, which would be consistent with a good running, no cel, daily driver. So I emailed ThinkCar. I sent them multiple different tests and screen shots. Due to the type of issue I was having they escalated my problem to the engineers. After a week of back and forth, this is thier final email. Dear customer: Hello, I'm sorry for any inconvenience caused to you. This car is a PWM protocol model and cannot download AB data. According to the log, you select the data stream and verify that the software and the special inspection calculation are consistent, and the data stream is consistent. I suggest you choose a test that is more accurate. Thank you, Overall, my experience with thinkcar is not a good one, and when they simply try to blame me for not using thier tool right is thier solution, is disappointing. They claim consistent data when I clearly showed them the opposite. This tool that can't do actuations, had inconsistent data streams, and not good customer service renders this tool nothing more than a expensive frustration. ... show more

  • Great scanner, easy to use
Very easy to use, had to do a transmission relearn on a Subaru CVT and it worked great. I really like the sturdy case that keeps everything together and protected also

  • Great scanner with pro features — minor setup issue
The ThinkCar 689 OBD2 scanner is a powerful and reliable diagnostic tool. The ease of use is excellent, even for someone who isn’t a pro technician. Navigation is straightforward, and the interface is clean. It picked up codes quickly and provided clear data across multiple systems. I did run into a minor issue during the update process and had to reset the system once, but after that, everything worked perfectly. If you’re familiar with basic tech setup, it shouldn’t be a problem. The build quality feels solid, and it seems tough enough for daily shop use or to live in a toolbox. While it is a bit pricey, I honestly think it’s worth the investment — whether you’re a professional or a backyard mechanic. You’re getting deep diagnostics and solid performance without needing dealership-level gear. ⸻ Q&A: Q: Is this scanner easy to use for beginners or just pros? A: It’s user-friendly enough for beginners. The menu system is clean, and scanning is straightforward. Q: Did you experience any issues during setup or updates? A: Yes, the update glitched once and I had to reset it. After that, no issues at all. Q: Is it worth the higher price tag? A: Yes — it’s packed with features, reads a wide range of systems, and feels built to last. ... show more

  • Very good Deal
Im pretty familiar with scanners....i went through quite a bit of features and to get myself familiarized where to go to get what i want. there is a Demo car that gives quite a bit of details too. so far so good. the new updates lets you put a different screen shot on the opening page. in stead of that monkey, you can instal your own pic. The graphing section will be good to do a quick diagnose of certain glitches but will need indepth tools to see whats going on like a pico scope. but for the price, cant beat it. my snap on Solos Edge is still usful up to 2020. updates are over 1500. no way. it took me 2 months to decide on which scanner to get, i looked at a lot of em. this is the best deal out there for the features. time will tell. update: the system i wanted takes time to load, if you back out for any reason, it starts over again. its a learnig curve like anything. it'll be good for certain things. ... show more

  • I love the free updates, that is the greatest selling point of this scanner
I have owned several scan tools over the years. I also did a lot of research for months on what I wanted to buy in a new one. I had a budget of about a $1000, but everyone I looked at I always came back to this one just because of the free updates. Going with another brand for even more money, you could only use it for a year or two before you had to pay to use most of the features. To me that as a DIY mechanic who uses it once a month if that, that doesn't make any sense. I've used this now for a few months and I have to say I'm pretty impressed. I really like the bidirectional capabilities and used it to test a faulty cooling fan in a car. It was nice to be able to turn on the fan from the scanner to test. My only real grip is I did not want a Blue Tooth because I could see how the dongle could fail over time, so I went with a wired one. The cord is too short. I do have a 0b2 extension but again I think that is too short too. I would like to have a cord that is like 10' long, just to route it easy to under the hood or the passenger seat as I take it for a drive. That is my only real complaint so far. ... show more
