- So the icon T8 scan tool has passed all the test with flying colors. We got the auto VIN fixed we got the secure gateway proof of concept that’s working and couple other features that I found out that I like very much on the scanner versus some of my others 
Good video. Thanks for doing this. I cant wait for your next one on the T8.
right on man
GOOD ONE ,
thanks for watching
does the new icon do a write for the vin have older charger?? love how your showings things how to do !!
I don't know
If you want decent WiFi coverage don't depend on the consumer access point modem and router combo unit provided by your ISP.
I turned off the Wi-Fi in my ISPs router and installed a Ubiquit Unifi AC Pro in the shop and one in the house connected to the router with Ethernet. The signal strength is night and day difference.
I’m okay with it but thanks you know I was a CISCO guy my first career was Networking Administration did a lot of network management remote server management and programming ect… I have AP’s routers and switches ect.
So can you scan a vehicle without connecting the scan tool to an internet connection?
yes
by the way, could you register your ICON T8 with Auto Auth?
Thank you
yes
does it do a topology display or just the generic list?
no topology
Have you tried to program a key on a chrysler yet? I have the matco maximus and refuse to pay for the $800 update just to be able to get into FCA considering getting this scanner just needs to be able to do keys when i need to.
no sir
Thank you for clarifying What do you think of the tool ICON T8
It’s fine I’m happy with it for sure I just don’t like that the live data can’t be formatted into a custom list format
how much is the software update after the 2 yrs
im not sure Ive heard 500
So I am trying to set up my auto auth account to register the unit and it says I have to pay $50 a year for an account. Is that correct? I thought these came with 2 years of service for accounts. I would believe this would be one also
AutoAuth is $50 per year it’s not affiliated with the scan tool companies it’s affiliated with FCA the vehicles OEM the scan tool company must get approved by FCA I order to even use AutoAuth it’s a service provided and we pay for it
AutoAuth is Chrysler's security feature for Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep 2018 and newer.
it's worth the $50
@@rvtechpro yes sir, I have bought the service thank you for your comprehensive video
How do you get the autoauth to pull up auto on the t8 scanner i just got one to fay and was trying to see how to get the autoauth to work on it
Definitely not impressed with the T8. The Topdon Phoenix Lite 2 has no problem doing auto vin scan without wifi access. Also has more active tests, resets, and bi-directional functionality. And it cost less. Still get 2 year updates and renewal doesn't cost that much.
thanks for watching
See this is what I was kind of worried about sicne I know there's a few "High End" brand-name diagnostic devices that require internet, or God forbid a subscription, just to use bare basic functions, let alone updates, and thats a big No from me dawg, especially if I am paying several _thousand_ dollars for them.
Not really in the market at this exact moment, but with how much I am getting into mechanics, acquiring tools and fixing vehicles, and not only enjoying it but knowing many people I could help out, especially my older neighbor across the street who use to actually own his own Mechanics shop, it could come in very handy in the coming years.
Especially if I am helping my car-nut friend who's always doing a bunch of wacky stuff but yet has a strangely woeful lack of specialized tools . . . He always manages to get by through sheer resourcefulness, but this is one of those things you cant really ham-fist a replacement for off of stuff you have lying around a shop.
I hear ya bro
Get a cheaper autel. It has a cheap subscription. The t8s subscription cost is what kept me from purchasing it. Especially if you are helping people for free. These tools are for those that are getting paid to do this.
oh I did not listen to the point you turned on you tmobile..
no worries
cellphone hotspot? practically everyone has or can have a hotspot on their cell phone.
