A great review easy to,follow review of this tool. I don't think that even the official Thinktool "how to videos" explain this tool as well as you did. Thanks for the great video, Jerry.
@@LakesideAutobody give us a 6 month review and let us know how you feel about it and what you would step up to if you were going to upgrade,im looking at thinktool pro
@@rcs0296 If it's bi-directional tests you're looking for then I'd go with the Thinktool Pro. I haven't used one but the reviews for that tool are very positive :)
Nice unit for sure. I just picked up the Thinktool Pro. Have not really had much time to play with it. Thanks for posting this video. Hope you have a link to buying it in your description!
Wow - cool. I've heard good things about the Thinktool Pro. That would be interesting if you did a video on it. Take care my friend and thanks for watching :)
@@LakesideAutobody Obviously I bought it more as a toy since I don't professionally work on vehicles. I have started a list of possible videos I can do using it and possibly teaching others at the same time. So far the little I have used it has impressed me vs just a normal code reader.
Decent looking tool. Wish something with bi-directional diagnostic controls and something that program chipped keys would be available for DIY. The ones I know of, require paid subscription and are $1000’s.
I tried to do a diagnostic with my Thinkscan Max on my CF Moto ATV but... nothing, didn't see the Atv, didn't recognise VIN number, nothing, completely useless for ATV...on the other hand, a small cheap code reader did the job! Am I missing something?!?
I'm thinking no. It's not 100% bidirectional. Here's the web site for it - kingbolentool.com/products/thinkcar-thinkscan-max-bluetooth-obd2-all-system-code-reader
the diagnostic device is lousy thinkcar is lousy very bad device on the market I bought this machine but after an update the device is disturbed impossible to make a diagnosis an error message appears at each start of diagnosis then the device stops I consulted the after-sales service of this machine but no solution. Their technicians are rubbish they don't even know what you are talking about be careful you risk losing your money for nothing avoid buying thinkcar I lost my money for nothing I can never excuse the seller and the company manufacturing this lousy toy. soon I will make a video and I will explain everything

Amazing how advanced these tools have become. Great video Jerry!
Thanks PSG - by the time everyone gets really used to using these tools, they'll change over to battery power and they'll be obsolete :)

I appreciate that U Mark - comments like that keep a guy motivated - thanks my friend. As always, thanks for watching and Merry C. 🎄
I liked your explanation. I bought the same one but I don't know how to program a new key for my 2016 jeep patriot sport.
Thanks Jorge. Do you have to purchase software for that? Let me know if you figure it out :)
thanks for the video,there are so many scantools now its hard to choose
There are a ton of them. This one stands out though to me because of the large easy to read screen and ease of use - super user friendly.

How much is it to download new software after the first year? My scan tool costs $800/year.
Free downloads for life. You only have to pay for "uncommon" software.

This company has one but it does cost a bit more than this model. My brother in law says it looks like a snap on :)
You don’t need to pay subscription with any of the launch tools.
@@deerhunter8533 👍😊

It probably won't work with an ATV. Curious as to what codes or code you got with the small cheap reader on the CF Moto.
Can you adjust cut on temp. For radiator fans?
I'm thinking no. It's not 100% bidirectional. Here's the web site for it - kingbolentool.com/products/thinkcar-thinkscan-max-bluetooth-obd2-all-system-code-reader
Is this bidirecțional?
It has some bidirectional capabilities but the next one up has total bidirectional capabilities. I think it's the Think Pro :)

Let me know when you make that video - I'll check it out. Haven't had an issue yet but also haven't used it a ton :)
